Eliyahu came near to all the people, and said, *How long will you waver between the two sides? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Ba`al, then follow him.* The people answered him not a word.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, *This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.*
Yeshua looking at him loved him, and said to him, *One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.*
He called the multitude to himself with his talmidim, and said to them, *Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Again, therefore, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, *I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.*
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, *The Lord knows those who are his,* and, *Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.*
These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Yeshua from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
