Description
Elisha, aged and robed, stands beside King Joash of Israel as the king draws a bow and sends an arrow through the open window. A quiver, shield, and royal helmet rest nearby, placing the moment inside a fortified chamber where prophecy and warfare meet. The scene portrays the sign-act from 2 Kings 13, when the dying prophet commands Joash to shoot eastward and declares the arrow to be “the Lord’s deliverance” against the armies of Aram. The image emphasizes that Israel’s hope does not rest in the king’s weaponry but in the word of God spoken through His prophet. Elisha’s calm gesture contrasts with Joash’s military posture, making the arrow a visible sermon on obedience, faith, and divine victory. Suitable for teaching on prophetic symbolism, spiritual warfare, trust in God’s promises, and the ministry of Elisha.
