I want to compare Elijah, John the Baptist and Herbert W Armstrong. Let’s see how this thing copies and pastes into Blogger. Here is what I have so far:
| Elijah | John the Baptist | HWA | |
| Miracles | Shut up rain for 3-1/2 yrs, was fed by ravens, was fed by a widow whose flour and oil did not give out, caused fire to come down from heaven on 3 occasions | No recorded miracles | Angel took control of car wheel, angel’s voice warned Mrs Armstrong to move child |
| Mission | Fight worship of Ba’al of Sidon (probably Cid or Melkart) | Prepare the way for Messiah | To preach the Gospel |
| Appearance in visions | Depicted as coming before the Day of the Lord; in transfiguration on the mountain in time of Jesus | N/A | N/A |
| Birthplace | Gilead | Possibly Bethlehem | U.S. |
| Clothing | Coat of camel hair, leather belt, long hair (Nazarite?) | Camel hair, leather belt, long hair (Nazarite) | Business suits, leather belt, short hair and glasses |
| End of ministry | Chariot of fire whisked away | Beheaded | Natural death |
| Succeeded by | Elisha | Jesus Christ | Joseph Tkach |
| Preached to | Israel | Everyone in Judea | Everyone worldwide |
Any suggested additions?
