Hey everyone. This is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central. We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly

Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast. We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos. So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube. We hope you enjoy.

I'm Taylor.

And I'm Tyler.

This is Book of Mormon Central's Come Follow Me Insights.

Today, 2nd Kings chapter 2 through 7.

So in this particular lesson, we're going to pass the baton from Elijah, one of our probably the most famous prophet

up north in the kingdom of Israel. He's going to pass the baton to Elisha. Now, an interesting

overlay that is very clear from the scripture writers and the editors through time,

there's a pattern, there's a theme that's carrying its

way through these two stories. And it's the theme of God's power manifest in these two individuals.

So you notice with last week's lesson with Elijah, he's performing miracle after miracle.

He's amazing. He's seen as this representative of God all alone compared to all these priests and

prophets of Baal, and he's single-handedly doing all of this amazing work, well, now he's

ready to be translated, and he needs to pass on the baton to the next in line, which is

Elisha. So that's all going to happen here in chapter one and two. So some people would say, it depends

totally on how you count a miracle. Some would say that Elijah performed eight miracles. Others,

by their count, he performed 10. By the way, I parsed them out, he performed 12. The actual number doesn't matter.

He performed a lot of incredible miracles. The significant thing here is when Elijah is going to be

given the call to be the next prophet, if you look at chapter 2, verse 9, he says, and it came to pass that when they were gone

over that Elijah said unto Elijah, ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from

thee. And Elijah said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
