How do we know the miracles of Elisha are significant?

Answered in 1 source

The miracles of Elisha signify God's power and foreshadow the greater works of Christ.

Elisha's miracles, such as restoring the dead son to life and healing the leper, serve to demonstrate God's authority over life and death, acting as a precursor to the works of Jesus Christ. Each miracle fulfills a purpose—highlighting God’s intervention and foreshadowing the ultimate miracle of Christ's resurrection. Elisha's life exemplifies God's power through His prophets, as noted in Luke 9:31, where the miracle of Christ's death is spoken of as an accomplishment. In this way, Elisha’s miracles point to the greater miraculous work of redemption enacted through Christ, making them profoundly significant within the biblical narrative.
