felt so good, that Rayford noticed others doing what he was. They
spread their palms toward heaven and turned their faces to the
sky, letting it wash them. Soon Rayford realized he was about a
hundred yards from Tsion and Chaim, who stood at the edge of the
gigantic abyss from where the water had burst forth.

It appeared Tsion was again trying to gain the attention of the
masses, but it was futile. They ran, they leaped, they embraced,
singing, dancing, shaking hands, laughing, and soon hundreds of
thousands were shouting their thanks to God.

Still, here and there, Rayford saw people grieving, crying out.

foot-high gurgling that looked cool and soothing and seemed
capable of adding to the already miraculous water supply.

"Some of you weep and are ashamed," Tsion said. "And rightly so.
Over the next few days I will minister to you as well. For while
you have not taken. the mark of the evil one, neither have you
taken your stand with the one true God. He has foreseen in his
mercy to protect you, to give you yet one more chance to choose
him.

"Many of you will do that, even this day, even before I begin my
teaching on the unsearchable riches of Messiah and his love and
forgiveness. Yet many of you will remain in your sin, risking the
hardening of your heart so that you may never change your mind.
