When companies or organizations lose a charismatic, visionary leader, trouble often follows. Think of the concerns about the future of Apple now that Steve Jobs in gone. The loss of the great prophet Elijah would seem to create a crisis for the faithful in Israel. Similarly, the disciples of Jesus would seem to face a huge crisis when Jesus is no longer physically with them. But a double share of Elijah's spirit for Elisha, and the Holy Spirit for the disciples and the church, negates normal succession concerns.
