How do we know that God was with Elijah during the parting of the Jordan?

The miracle of the Jordan River parting symbolizes God's active presence with His prophets. When Elijah struck the waters, he declared, 'Where is the Lord God of Elijah?' This demonstrates not only Elijah's faith but also confirms God's endorsement of Elijah as the prophet succeeding Elijah. The miraculous act provided clear evidence to observers, including the sons of the prophets, that God's spirit rested on Elijah, affirming his divine assignment and the continuity of prophetic ministry.
