Elijah, do not sleep that night. For the first time in years, his childhood feelings had returned to him, but this time it was not his guardian angel who had spoken to him, it was a much bigger and more powerful “thing.” He feared that if he refused to obey the order, he would be cursed.
The next morning he decided to do what he was asked to do. In addition, he was a messenger of something that had nothing to do with himself; When his task was done, the voices did not come to him again to disturb him.
It was not difficult to arrange a meeting with Shah Akhab. In distant generations, with the accession of the prophet Samuel, the prophets became important in government and business. They were able to get married and have children, but they must always remain under God’s command so that legislators and rulers do not stray from the path of piety. History has recorded many victories with the help of these “transcendents of truth”, and if Israel had continued because of its rulers, when they deviated from the right path, there would always have been a prophet who would have turned them back to the path of God.
When he reached the palace, he told the king that a drought would take over their land until they stopped worshiping the Phoenician gods.
The king did not obey his word, but Isabel, who was sitting by Akhab and listening carefully to his words, asked several questions about his message. Elijah spoke of his observation, of the headache, and of the feeling of stopping time while he heard the voice of the angel. While he was describing what had happened, he had ample opportunity to look closely at the princess that everyone was talking about; She was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, with long black hair that reached to the waist and a very balanced body. The green eyes that shone in his face stared at Elijah. He could not unravel the woman’s gaze and did not know how much his words had affected her.

Forget it. Create a new story for your life and believe in it. Only focus on the moments when you get what you want. This force helps you to do what you want.

In another part of the fifth mountain book, we read:
Elijah said to himself, he is dead. I do not want to go back there. He has already died or maybe a miracle has happened and he has been saved. So he will come in search of me. At this time his heart ordered him to go to the house where he lived. Elijah was arguing with himself. At that moment, it was not just the love of a preoccupied woman whose whole life, her faith in the will of God, the greatness of her hometown, and the thought of being chosen by Jehovah for a mission that she could accomplish, had stirred her mind.
He looked around to find a sword and use it to end these difficult days of his life. But the Assyrians had taken with them all the good things of the city of Akbar. He thought he was throwing himself into the flames, but he was afraid of the pain and burning of the fire. He spent moments that were completely numb. Gradually, he regained his discernment and was able to analyze the conditions in which he lived.
His wife and child have no doubt left this world by now, but he must bury them according to his religion. Whether or not there was a remembrance of God at that time was his only peace of mind, and when the burial and prayer ceremony was over, then he turned to his heavy sorrow or went into doubt.
Besides, they might still be alive, so he could not stay there without doing anything, but I could not bear to see their jagged faces and skins separated from their flesh, whose souls flew freely in the heavens. However, he bent down under the burden of suffering, with a grudge in his throat and a teary eye amidst the blinding smoke of a city burning in the fire and blocking his view from the well, he rushed home.
