Footnotes
Elisha's posture precisely mirrors Elijah's raising of the widow's son (1 Kings 17:21), where the prophet 'stretched himself upon the child three times.' Life presses against death—warmth against cold. This potent scene carries typological weight: the Living One entering the place of death to restore warmth to what has gone cold, an image that resonates with the incarnation itself. FOG renders the physical actions with stark literalism; FOG Message draws out the visceral drama with 'warmth began to return.'
