The many widows is a term that indicates, in this biblical context, a large number or the majority. These widowed women represent churches stripped of the presence of God, because of apostasy; The Husband, who is God, does not exist in them, he is dead. This is the spiritual death in the Bride of Jesus Christ; the lack of the flow of the Holy Spirit. They are completely cold churches: without holy anointing, without love
But the widow of Sarepta was sent Elijah to dwell there, that is, the presence of the Holy Spirit. She receives the Spirit of Prophecy, which is the Spirit of Elijah, which is the Spirit of Christ; and God preserves it in the midst of the Tribulation that plagues the Earth. Of this humble woman, suffering, persevering, lonely and gentle, God was pleased; and he uses it for his purposes.
This is the church that believes and receives God, and waits in His Salvation. A church that allows itself to be used for divine purposes; a church that does not look at its personal yearnings and does not stop before its limited condition; This church has a heart that is subject to the heart of God. This is the chosen one of God, the perfect one, to be the promised one of His Son. A church far away and free of all Judaism and Phariseeism, of legalism and Dominionism; and becomes the true bearer of grace and divine witness.
1 Kings 17: 14-16
14 For Jehovah, the God of Israel, has said thus: The jar of flour shall not run short, nor shall the oil of the jar dwindle until the day that the Lord rains it on the face of the earth.
15 So she went and did as Elijah said; and he ate, and she, and her house, many days.
16 And the jar of flour did not fail, neither did the jar's oil dwindle, according to the word that Jehovah had spoken for Elijah.
