What does the Bible say about the story of Elijah and the Jordan River?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Elijah and the Jordan River demonstrates God's power through the miracle of parting the waters.

In 2 Kings 2, the prophet Elijah is taken up into heaven, and his mantle falls to Elijah, his successor. Elijah, realizing the weight of his new mission, approaches the Jordan River and strikes the waters with the mantle, asking, 'Where is the Lord God of Elijah?' This act signifies reliance on God's presence and power. The waters part, allowing Elijah to cross on dry ground, illustrating God's omnipotence and indicative of salvation themes reflected throughout Scripture.
