00:00The Lord had told him the day, and that was the day.
00:06He woke Elijah before sunrise.
00:10Come.
00:13They walked together along the road to Gilgal,
00:16just as they had walked so many times over the years.
00:20The elder in the lead, the younger a step behind,
00:24learning with his feet what cannot be learned with the ears.
00:28But on that morning, every step carried the weight of a farewell.
00:34Elisha sensed it, yet said nothing.
00:38At the edge of the city, Elijah stopped.
00:41Stay here, I ask you, for the Lord is sending me to Bethel.
00:46As surely as the Lord lives, and as surely as you live, I will not leave you.
00:50Elijah looked at him.
00:52Perhaps it was pride that crossed his face.
00:55Perhaps it was the desire to spare him from what was to come.
01:01He said nothing.
01:03They continued on to Bethel.
01:07The sons of the prophets, young men studying the law and the word,
01:12hidden there since the days of Jezebel,
01:14came out to meet them and drew Elisha aside.
01:17Do you know that today the Lord is going to take your master from over you?
01:24I know.
01:26Be quiet.
01:28He did not want to hear voiced what he was already carrying.
01:33As they left Bethel, Elijah stopped once more.
01:38Stay here, I ask you,
01:40for the Lord is sending me to Jericho.
01:44As surely as the Lord lives,
01:46and as surely as you live,
01:48I will not leave you.
01:51They went on to Jericho.
01:53The same thing happened.
01:56The sons of the prophets from Jericho came.
02:00Do you know that today...
02:02Stay here, I know.
02:03Be quiet.
02:10And as they left Jericho for the third time...
02:14Stay here, I ask you,
02:16for the Lord is sending me to the Jordan.
02:21As surely as the Lord lives,
02:24and as surely as you live,
02:26I will not leave you.
02:31Then come.
02:36Fifty of the sons of the prophets
02:38followed them at a distance
02:40and stopped on a rise overlooking the river.
02:43They did not approach.
02:46There were things not meant for their eyes.
02:50No.
02:51No.
02:52No.
