I gotta have my orange juice.

Moses flees to a mountain and is given food by a “bird” to sustain him for the 40 years of work ahead of him, where he would meet with God.

So Moses feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!” When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?” And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.” So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.” Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses. (Exodus 2)

Elijah fled and was given food and water by angels for the forty days’ journey ahead of him, to meet God at the same mountain.

But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Yahweh, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”

Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of Yahweh came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19)

Earlier Elijah had been fed by ravens (1 Kings 17).

Jesus is sustained by angels on the Mount of Olives for the exodus (Luke 9:31) that he was about to accomplish.

Coming out, he went to the Mount of Olives, as he was accustomed, and his disciples also followed him. When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. Then his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

When he rose up from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow. Then he said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” (Luke 22)

Moses and Elijah are obviously types of Jesus in these episodes. As a result, I think we should read these passages as mutually interpreting one another. In particular, I do not think that we should over-psychologize the fear that Moses experienced or the supposed depression that Elijah experienced. Whatever Jesus experienced was a commendable, righteous, faith-ful emotion. Therefore I believe we ought to read Elijah’s words, “it is enough; take my life” as being another way of expressing Jesus’s words, “if it is your will, take this cup.”
