16:13-21
Elijah heard the voice of the Lord and went out to the mouth of the cave. There can be times when the Lord seems to be nowhere, but when we get a hint of his presence we should make the most of it. \god asks Elijah the same question, “What are you doing here Elijah?” Elijah repeats his sob story. God now gives Elijah instructions, he is to return the way he came and anoint Hazael as king over Aram, then to anoint Jehu as king over Israel, and Elisha as his own successor. Contrary to Elijah’s thoughts, God had not stopped working. He also tells \\elisha that he is far from being the only one,God has “seven thousand" in Israel. So Elijah goes off and finds Elisha. Elijah throws his cost over him. Elish wants to say farewell to his parents before following Elijah, Elijah is not impressed (Matt 8:22), Elisha followed Elijah at once, slaughtering his oxen and burning his plough, signifying his total commitment.
