VOICES
Elijah. Elijah. Elijah.
(then)
You have challenged the worship of Baal. You have destroyed the priests of Baal. You
have humiliated the queen’s people, who depended on Baal.
(then)
Elijah Elijah Elijah.
(then)
Jezebel will seek you. Jezebel will hunt you. Jezebel will do the same to you that you’ve
done to the priests.
ELIJAH
It is too much Lord. Take away my life. I might as well be dead.
Lights shift.
ANGEL VOICE
Take and eat, or the journey will too much for you.

I have walked for 40 days. I can go no further. This cave will be my end.

LORD’S VOICE
Elijah.
ELIJAH
Lord.
LORD’S VOICE
What are you doing here?
ELIJAH
God Almighty, I have always served you, but your people have broken their covenant
with you, torn down your altars and killed your prophets. I am the only one left. And
they are now trying to kill me.
LORD’S VOICE
Go out and stand before me on the top of the mountain.
ELIJAH
I will.
Elijah climbs.
ELIJAH
Where are you?
ELIJAH
Is that you Lord?
ELIJAH
Is that you Lord?
Earthquake stops.
ELIJAH
Lord, is that you?
LORD’S VOICE
Elijah. What are you doing here?
ELIJAH
LORD God Almighty, I have always served you, and you alone. But the people of Israel
have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed all your prophets.
I am the only one left and they are trying to kill me.
LORD’S VOICE
I am with you. You will return to Damascus. I will purge the kingdom of Israel of those
who have bowed down to the idols of Baal and turned their backs on me.
ELIJAH
But I am all alone. How will Israel be purged?
LORD’S VOICE
I have chosen a new king for Syria, and for Israel.
ELIJAH
And what of me, Lord.
LORD’S VOICE
And I have chosen a prophet to succeed you.
