Longevity? What happens if you get run over by a bus tomorrow?
Are you familiar Elijah and Elisha?
And it came about when the L-rd was about to take up
Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with
Elisha from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here
please, for the L-rd has sent me as far as Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As the L-rd lives and as you yourself
live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
Then the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came
out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the
L-rd will take away your master from over you today?”
And he said, “Yes, I know; be still.”
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for the
L-rd has sent me to Jericho.” But he said, “As the L-rd
lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.”
So they came to Jericho. The sons of the prophets who
were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “Do
you know that the L-rd will take away your master from
over you today?” And he answered, “Yes, I know; be still.”
Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the L-rd
has sent me to the Jordan.” And he said, “As the L-rd
lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.”
So the two of them went on.
Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood
opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood
by the Jordan. Elijah took his mantle and folded it together
and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there,
so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what
I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha
said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon
me.” He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless,
if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for
you; but if not, it shall not be so.” As they were going
along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire
and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And
Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and
cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and
its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold
of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also
took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned
and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of
Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said,
“Where is the L-rd, the G-d of Elijah?” And when he also had
struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and
Elisha crossed over.

Elijah trained Elisha for about ten years to take his place.
If need be G-d will have me do something similar.
