Elisha Feeds One Hundred Men

42 Then a man came from aBaal Shalisha, band brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat.”  
43 But his servant said, a“What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?” He said again, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the Lord: b‘They shall eat and have some left over.’ ”  
44 So he set it before them; and they ate aand had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.

2 Kings 4:43

Thus saith the Lord , They shall eat , and shall leave thereof - It was God, not the prophet, who fed one hundred men with these twenty loaves, etc. This is something like our Lord' s feeding the multitude miraculously. Indeed, there are many things in this chapter similar to facts in our Lord' s history: and this prophet might be more aptly considered a type of our Lord, than most of the other persons in the Scriptures who have been thus honored.
