2 Kings 1-3, Psalm 72

The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.” ...

The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.” ...

Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. (2 Kings 2:3, 5, 7)

I wonder what it is like to be in the company of prophets. They seem to know the day of Elijah's assumption into heaven beforehand. At a distance hey witness the place where heaven and earth meet. They demonstrate deep love and care for one another. They speak only what the LORD gives them to speak, and they announce truth. 

Let us inherit a double portion of their spirit!
