The contract made is not between believing and unbelieving children, but between obedient, respectful children and lawless, uncontrolled children. The strong terms “dissipation or rebellion” stress the children’s behavior, not their eternal state." Ref-0205, p. 229.

Ref-1396, p. 386 "As for the Plains Indians, when their men or women got too old to keep up on a hunt or journey, it was the practice of their children “to leave them without compunction or remose; on those occasions they usually place within their reach a small peace of meat and a platter of water, telling the poor old superannuated wretch for his consolation, that he or she had lived long enough, that it was time they should dye and go to their relations who can afford to take care of them much better than they could.” " Ref-1497, p. 341.

elders - appointed by man : Acts 14:23; Tit. 1:5✪ "Although the New Testament provides no example of elders appointing elders, perpetuation of the eldership is implied in the elders’ role as congregational shepherds, stewards, and overseers." Ref-0205, p. 278.

✪ "The New Testament does not indicate that the congregation governs itself by majority vote, and there is no evidence that God has granted every member one equal vote with every other member. Rather, the New Testament congregation is governed by its own congregational elders. The elders, according to the express instruction of the New Testament, have the authority to shepherd the congregation." Ref-0205, p. 293. "The original settlement of all the New England churches was strictly Congregational, a full liberty and independency being possessed by each congregation, with decisive power vested in the church meeting. But the early congregations commonly possessed ministers of such personal authority and prestige that their role of leadership was rarely challenged by ‘the power of the fraternity’." Ref-1302, p. 15 "In the words of . . . Increase Mather, ‘The Congregational Church discipline is not suited for a worldly interest or for a formal generation of professors. It will stand or fall as godliness in the power of it does prevail or otherwise.’" Ref-1302, p. 18 "His first step, or misstep, was to propose an antidemocratic revision of the congregation’s government. In a four-part sermon preached in June 1748 Edwards argued that “'Tis the mind of God that not a mixed multitude but only select persons of distinguishing ability and integrity are fit for the business of judging causes.”" Ref-1348, p. 345.

Here we see the Son before the Father, for the purpose of a kingdom being given to the Son. This passage has many parallels with the throne room scene of Revelation 4–5 . . ." Michael J. Vlach, The Trinity and Eschatology, Ref-0164 24/2 (Fall 2013) [2013121101.pdf], 199-215, p. 203.
elders - pay : 2Chr. 31:4; 1Cor. 9:14; Gal. 6:6; 1Ti. 5:17-18✪ "Scribes were unpaid (except probably in their role as teachers of the young), supporting themselves by secular work." Ref-1200, p. 168. "People remained unwilling to support pastors" Ref-1522, p. 725.
elders - plural : Ex. 18:13-26; Deu. 1:12-17; Acts 11:30; Acts 14:23; Acts 15:2-4; Acts 20:17; Acts 20:28; Acts 21:18; Php. 1:1; 1Th. 5:12; Tit. 1:5; Heb. 13:17; Jas. 5:14; 1Pe. 5:1-5✪ "[Machiavelli wrote] “a wise prince should devise means whereby his subjects may at all times, whether favourable or adverse, feel the need of the State and of him, and then they will always be faithful to him.” This is consistent with a major and common failing on the part of those in church leadership. Rather than inviting church members to maturity in Christ and the independence that comes naturally with that increasing maturity . . . church leaders often invite members to become addicted to the sugar high of entertainment, programs, and the charisma of a dynamic communicator. Not only does this often-applied approach appeal to the leader’s ego, but for Machiavelli it is a way to assure that followers will continue to be faithful to that leader. In other words, singularity and authority demands methodology that will maintain the continuance of that authority. . . . The Biblical model is simple indeed. It would appear that mandating a singular or monocratic leadership, or creating a complete distinction between a pastor and an elder or between an overseer and a pastor, represents a shift away from the natural interpretation of Scripture and the simplicity that results, and a shift toward anthropocentric and artificial forms of leadership." Christopher Cone, Ref-1217, pp. 86, 92. "[The ministers] gave warning in the ‘Reforming Synod’ of 1679 that, ‘Unless a church have divers elders, the church-government must needs become either prelatic or popular’. . . They desired neither a ‘popular democracy’, nor to be themselves independent ‘prelates’ . . ." Ref-1302, p. 16

elders - term : ✪ "Once a man is appointed to the pastor's council [eldership] he serves as long as he desires, functions in the work, and qualifies. It is unscriptural, harmful to the church, and demeaning to the elders to set limits on the time period a pastor elder can serve, or to limit the number of elders to a fixed number. . . To set a fixed number of elders is a dangerous precedent. . .if a man is ready to serve Christ's church as an elder, by what arbitrary rule is he to be kept back because another man is also ready? If the Holy Spirit makes men elders, then the church ought to be ruled by those men the Spirit has prepared." Ref-0205, p. 289.

Elijah - wind - fire - earthquake : 2K. 2:11✪ Elijah was discouraged because he expected a national revival and overthrow of Jezebel and Baal as a result of Mt. Carmel. The earthquake, wind, and fire (spectacular manifestations) are analogous to Elijah's expectations, but God was not in them - that was not how God was going to bring about His work in His time. God was in the still small voice instead. God's work was to be done a different way which Elijah did not appreciate. Perhaps Elijah will experience the type of revival he desired in his future ministry (Rev. 11:3-7). Notice that Elijah's ministry seems to fade after the Mt. Horeb experience -- he doesn't seem to zealously perform all the things he is assigned in 1K. 19:15-17.
