    gather you unto myself. Even as Elijah sought my face and was obedient to me, if you too will Love me (have not I loved you with an everlasting love?) then I will be as chariots of Fire around you and will protect you and gather you unto myself. You will not be like those who only heard of me but you will be like Elisha who saw the chariots and experienced a double portion. What do you desire? Comfort and tents of ease? Do not seek such.

    his life (and death) is left for the mind to wonder what Ancient Egypt was like. But that didn’t stop egyptologists from inventing theories as to what it was like, to try and prove.
