In 2 Kings 6:8-23, God provides a “look behind the scenes,” as he allows Elisha and his servant to see the invisible chariots of fire which outnumber the Syrian army. God does not typically grant such visions of the spiritual realities all around us. However, God inspires this historical event to be recorded in Scripture to build our trust in his omniscience and omnipotence. God always has the power to protect his people and control his enemies for the sake of his glory.
