Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I may do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." II Kings 2:9

"Types and shadows" in the Old Testament are prophetic overviews of things to come as we see in the book of Kings. Elijah was a type of Jesus and Elisha a type of the future Spirit filled church!
After defeating the prophets of Baal and restoring the altar of the Lord and calling fire down from Heaven, a shadow of the New Testament church he was about to be called to Heaven in a "Chariot of fire!" As Elisha looked on, Elijah was taken up in the fiery chariot and he threw his mantle, a type of anointing to Elisha just like Jesus ascending to Heaven and sending back the promise of His Spirit!
This prophetic shadow was a type of the church in Acts receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the "Double Portion" anointed church of Jesus Christ! The New Creation church was about to be called into the ministry and miracles of Jesus!
Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven. II Kings 2:11
