Prophet Pearls #4- Vayeira
2 Kings 4:1-37
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is 2 Kings 4:1-37. It accompanies the Torah portion Vayeria (Genesis 18:1–22:24).
This passage relates the moving accounts of two women in great personal distress whose needs are met through divine miracles. Lessons about the powerful effects humility, perseverance, and obedience offer encouragement for God’s faithful children of all ages. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
The image connected to the above recording is entitled Elisha Prays Over the Shunnamite’s Son and is an original work of art created specially for this week’s episode of Prophet Pearls by artist Timothy Welchel.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

So glad you are back on the air together again, we missed you and had been praying for your teaching to resume. Hallelujah!
Wow! This weeks Prophet Pearls hit very close to home for me. I feel like I am the shunammite woman, I too feel I have everything I need but a child. Keith you completely nailed the feeling she/I have. The emotional roller coaster of hoping every month followed by pain of disappointment makes it so hard to have hope. I try to have hope without getting my hopes up if that makes any sense.
One thing I wonder is if we are in the end times, which I believe we are, then maybe what Jesus said in Luke 23:29 (there will come a time that they will say blessed are the barren.). But then Deut 7:14 and 28:4 say (if you keep His commands none shall be barren) don’t they apply to me too?
I trust that YHVH will do what He does in His appointed time and His plan is always way better than mine.
