“The ‘DOUBLE PORTION’ does not only mean twice as much as Elijah’s portion had been, but twice as much as other ‘sons of the prophets’ would receive. Elisha reckoned himself Elijah’s first-born spiritual son, and asked for the ELDER BROTHER’S share, because he had been designated as successor, and would require more than others for his work. Jesus is our Elder Brother. And by the Spirit, we receive HIS double portion! His Portion is immeasurable and unending!” (Enduring Word)

“A MANTLE is passed from one generation to the next, not so that we can repeat the works of our forebears, but so that, with the help of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we can complete the tasks they left unfinished and unfulfilled.” (Anne Hamilton)

Jesus died for our sins; He redeemed us from the curse of sin; He forgives our sins; He gives us gifts; and He leads us to glory. Because of His sacrificial work, He is not ashamed to give us the name of “His brothers,” This implies that we, in turn, may call Jesus our ELDER BROTHER. What a privilege to be called brothers of the Son of God! (Bibletools)

“When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a DOUBLE PORTION of your spirit be upon me.” He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also PICKED UP the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is The LORD, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.” 2 Kings 2:9-14
