One of the things that's I mean we've kind of already been there for a little while, but we have the divided kingdom, right? Obviously. And we have prophets who are part of who are assigned to preach to the divided kingdom. Some prophets go to the north, some stay in the south and it's really helpful for us to have that Bible timeline because the timeline itself gives us a graphic, a visual of here's all we're talking about this person in the north. Okay, this person in the south and it's can be really helpful. So if you have that, that's phenomenal. If you don't, you can probably get it at AscensionPress.com.
One of the things you'll see if you have the Great Adventure Bible itself is that that double share the eldest son inherited a double share of the father's property and so Elisha regards him himself as the son so he asks for Elijah's spirit as his inheritance like I don't want anything else just I just want your spirit double portion of your spirit.

And that sends our singing, singing the blues in exile and just it's been so long. It was interesting for me at least to be able to journey according to the Bible timeline right in that chronological journey of here is the stories of the kings and chronicles that lead into exile.
And then to be able to hear the prophets talking about yes, here's what's coming. So to know the story and then to hear the prophets voices in the context of the story was it was fascinating for me, but to realize the story is not over right even though you have Jeremiah and those who are left behind over in Egypt and they're going to die there and you have the other Jews were brought up to Babylon and and they're not going to be left. They're not going to be abandoned. They're not exiled forever.
