1) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to determine whose god (Baal or Yahweh) is the true God.
2) Elijah has the prophets of Baal prepare a sacrifice but no fire is lit, while he prepares another sacrifice. Elijah mocks the prophets of Baal when their god does not respond.
3) Elijah prays to Yahweh, who answers with fire from heaven that consumes the sacrifice, water, and stones. The people declare that Yahweh is the true God. Elijah then has the false prophets seized and killed.
This passage describes events that occurred during the reigns of King Ahaziah and King Joram of Israel. When Ahaziah is injured, he seeks guidance from the pagan god Baal-zebub rather than God. The prophet Elijah condemns this action and Ahaziah dies as promised. Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. His successor Elisha performs miracles like dividing the Jordan River. King Joram faces rebellion from Moab but is told by Elisha that God will deliver water and victory over Moab for the allied armies of Israel, Judah, and Edom.

1. Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest to determine the true god, with God answering by fire. When God prevails, Elijah has the prophets of Baal put to death.
2. Fearing retaliation from Jezebel, Elijah flees into the wilderness where an angel cares for him. The angel tells him to eat to regain his strength for his journey.
3. God speaks to Elijah and commissions him to stand on the mountain. God is not present in the powerful wind, earthquake or fire, but speaks to Elijah in a gentle whisper.
How a person handles failure can mean the difference between living a life of victory or living a life filled with bitterness, hostility and anger. "Turning Failures into Faith" is a sermon that looks into a passage in the Bible where the Israelites failed during the time of Joshua but because they turned to God for faith they became victorious once again.
1. Elijah fled from Queen Jezebel after killing the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. He became depressed and asked God to take his life.
2. God sent an angel to feed Elijah and strengthen him for the journey. Elijah traveled for 40 days to Mount Horeb, where God spoke to him in a still small voice.
3. God commanded Elijah to anoint Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha to continue God's work, showing that one man alone cannot complete the task. Elijah found Elisha plowing and called him to be a prophet.

40 Days and 40 Nights_Jesus our ComforterStephen Palm
Another name for Mt. Sinai is Mt. Horeb. Several weeks ago, we saw in Exodus 24 that Moses fasted and waited atop Mt. Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights, waiting for God to deliver His Law to His people. And then, we saw in Deuteronomy 9 that after Aaron made the golden calf idol and the nation worshipped this Egyptian god, the God of Israel threatened to destroy the nation of Israel and make a new nation descended from Moses. But instead of allowing himself to become the new focal point of biblical history, Moses interceded in prayer for 40 days and 40 nights atop Sinai and begged God to relent. And now, we find ourselves nearly 500 years later. After defeating the prophets of the pagan god Baal on Mt. Carmel, Elijah the prophet has learned that evil Queen Jezebel is seeking revenge. He flees for 40 days and 40 nights and in great fear he sits atop Mt. Horeb, the same mountain that Moses spent two such 40-day jaunts. Elijah wishes he was never born, but God ministers to him and comforts him. And in this we see a picture of Jesus, who gently nurtures His people and ultimately promises the Holy Spirit as the greatest comforter of all time.
This document contains a summary of chapters 1 and 2 from the book of 1 Kings. It describes Elijah mentoring Elisha as his successor. When Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elisha refuses to leave Elijah's side. After Elijah ascends, Elisha demonstrates his receipt of Elijah's spirit by parting the waters of the Jordan river. Elisha then heals a spring by casting salt in it, curing the land of death and barrenness.
1) Prophet Ibrahim lived in Babel where people worshipped idols under King Namrud. Ibrahim was the only one who refused to worship idols and believed in the one God.
2) Ibrahim tried to guide his people away from idol worship, but they refused to listen. He smashed all the idols in the temple except one, placing an axe by the remaining idol.
3) When the people returned, they were angry to find their idols destroyed. Ibrahim admitted to smashing the idols and argued they could not protect or help anyone. Namrud sentenced Ibrahim to death by fire.
We are living in a chaotic world. Often times, we end in frustration and dismayed. The only thing we need, though things are not working according to our plans and dream is the presence of God. You might be in a condition that you are about to give up, don't worry He will comfort you through His presence.
The document summarizes the story of Prophet Isa (Jesus) according to Islamic belief. It describes how Maryam (Mary) was chosen by God to give birth to Isa despite being unmarried. When Maryam's pregnancy was discovered, she fled to the desert where God provided her with food and shelter. When Isa was born, he could speak as a prophet of God. As an adult, Isa preached God's message and performed miracles, but the Jewish priests grew jealous and had him arrested. However, God saved Isa by raising him to heaven, while his betrayer Judas was mistaken for him and crucified instead.
Elijah tells Elisha to stay behind in Bethel as God has called Elijah to go to Jericho, but Elisha refuses to leave Elijah's side. When they arrive in Jericho, members of the prophetic guild tell Elisha that God will take Elijah from him that day, which Elisha acknowledges. Elijah then tells Elisha to stay in Jericho as God has called him to the Jordan River, but once again Elisha refuses and insists on accompanying Elijah. They travel together to the Jordan River where Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind.
On Thursday night, Jesus had Passover supper with his disciples and washed their feet. After praying in the garden, Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Jesus was then arrested, mocked, and tried before Caiaphas, Pilate, and Herod. He was scourged, made to wear a crown of thorns, and crucified on Friday. When he died, the veil in the temple was torn and the centurion declared him the Son of God. His body was taken by Joseph of Arimathea and buried in a tomb.
This document provides background information about the prophet Abraham (AS) in Islam. It discusses Abraham's childhood growing up in a society that worshipped idols, his rejection of idol worship from a young age due to recognizing the idols' inability to see, hear or help people. As he grew older, Abraham publicly challenged his people's idol worship and preached monotheism. The document also describes how Abraham destroyed the idols in the temple to convince his people of the idols' powerlessness.
Elijah flees from Jezebel after killing the prophets of Baal and prays to die under a broom tree. An angel touches and feeds Elijah, giving him strength to travel to Mount Hainai. At the mountain, Elijah experiences a mighty wind, earthquake and fire, but God is not present in these. Elijah then hears a gentle whisper and God asks Elijah what he is doing there. God instructs Elijah to anoint new leaders and that he will preserve 7,000 others in Israel who have not worshipped Baal. The document emphasizes the importance of spending time alone with God in quiet and solitude to listen to his gentle whisper, overcome fear, and learn about who
An angel tells Philip to meet an Ethiopian eunuch reading Isaiah. Philip explains the passage is about Jesus. When they see water, the eunuch asks to be baptized. Philip baptizes him after the eunuch professes faith in Jesus. Then the Spirit takes Philip away, while the eunuch continues happily.
Prophet Isa (a.s.) and the bird - Animals 3ftjaffer
Prophet Isa (a.s.) was sent to the Bani Israil and performed miracles like healing the sick, but some did not believe in him. When Jewish Rabbis challenged him to bring a clay bird to life, Prophet Isa (a.s.) molded a bird from clay and prayed to Allah (s.w.t.), who brought the bird to life. The believers were happy but the disbelievers were shocked and still refused to believe.
The story describes a confrontation between the prophet Elias and the prophets of the false god Baal. Elias challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to determine whose god is real. They build altars and call on their gods, but the prophets of Baal's altar remains untouched while fire from heaven consumes Elias's altar. The people declare that the Lord is God. Elias then has the prophets of Baal killed for their false worship.
Elijah was a prophet in the 9th century BCE who defended the worship of Yahweh against King Ahab and Queen Jezebel's promotion of Baal worship. Elijah predicted a drought to prove God's power, hiding from Jezebel and being fed by ravens. He later confronted Ahab and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, building an altar and calling down fire from heaven to prove Yahweh's power when the prophets of Baal failed, which ended the drought. Elijah is now remembered in Jewish traditions as the guardian of newborn boys and having a role in Passover seders.
Hannah was barren, her husband's second wife berated her horribly, but she prayed and believed God for a son. This is a message of faith and hope for the future.
The king Nebuchadnezzar built a golden statue and commanded all people to bow down and worship it. When the music played, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down because they only worshipped God. They told the king that even if God did not save them, they would not worship the statue. The angry king had them thrown into a fiery furnace, but they came out unharmed. The king then praised their God and gave them better jobs.
Saul, who was persecuting Christians, experienced a vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus and was blinded. He was instructed to go to Damascus where a disciple named Ananias restored his sight. Saul then began preaching that Jesus is the Son of God, astonishing the disciples who knew of his prior persecution. However, he was in danger from a Jewish conspiracy and was sent to Jerusalem, where the disciples were initially wary of him due to his history of persecution, but Barnabas vouched for his conversion and preaching.
The document discusses how the Israelites failed to fully drive out the inhabitants of the promised land as God had commanded. Instead of completely obeying God, the Israelites used human logic and compromised by making the Canaanites tributaries rather than removing them entirely. As a result, the Canaanites continued to dwell in the land and influence the Israelites away from following God fully. This pattern of disobedience is seen throughout the accounts of the various Israelite tribes.
This document contains a summary of a sermon given at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle. The sermon discusses the story in 1 Kings 18 of Elijah confronting King Ahab during a drought. It notes that Ahab blamed Elijah for troubling Israel, but Elijah said it was Ahab's family's fault for forsaking God's commandments. The sermon argues that sin is the cause of problems in society like unemployment, crime, and diseases. It calls for the nation to turn back to God to heal the land.

The document summarizes the fall of Jerusalem as prophesied by Jeremiah and Lamented after by Jeremiah. It describes how the Babylonians besieged and captured Jerusalem, killing the king's sons and exiling the people. It then discusses the prophet Ezekiel's promise of restoration, and notes that some exiles like Jehoiachin did later return from exile.
This document discusses the story of Elijah and the drought in Israel. It notes that Elijah prayed earnestly for God to withhold rain, and there was no rain for 3.5 years. Elijah then prayed again for rain to be restored, and after praying 7 times a cloud appeared and rain fell, ending the drought. The document suggests that earnest, fervent prayer is effective and that God hears and answers prayer. It encourages believers to pray for rain and blessings from God.
Elijah delivers a message from God to King Ahab that there will be no rain. God tells Elijah to hide from Ahab in the Kerith ravine, where ravens bring Elijah food each day. After many months, the brook in the ravine dries up, so God tells Elijah to travel to Zarephath, where He has commanded a widow to supply Elijah with food. Elijah makes the journey to Zarephath, tired and hungry after surviving on the food brought by ravens during his time in the ravine.
The document compares the stories of Elijah and Moses, noting their similarities such as miracles involving food and water. It then discusses prophecies of Elijah's coming again before the day of the Lord. Several passages are quoted discussing Elijah confronting King Ahab and prophesying the downfall of Ahab and Jezebel. The document ends by recounting Elijah being taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire, which Elisha witnesses.
1) Elijah prayed earnestly for no rain, and no rain fell for 3.5 years.
2) Elijah climbed to the top of a mountain and prayed humbly on his knees for rain.
3) Elijah had his servant check for rain 7 specific, persistent times.
4) On the 7th check, the servant saw a small cloud, and Elijah expected rain, telling Ahab to hurry before it stopped. Rain then fell heavily.
Elijah had just experienced a great victory over the prophets of Baal when Queen Jezebel threatened his life. Overcome with fear and despair, Elijah fled into the wilderness. While resting under a broom tree, he prayed for death, feeling alone and that his efforts had been in vain. God provided for Elijah's physical needs and directed him to Mount Horeb. There, God revealed himself to Elijah through a gentle whisper, reminding him that he was not alone. God then commissioned Elijah to anoint new leaders to continue purging the land of Baal worship.
The document discusses Elijah confronting the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel to determine who the one true God is - Baal or Yahweh. Elijah proposes a contest where they each call on their god to light a sacrifice, and the god who answers with fire is the true God. The prophets of Baal call on Baal all morning but there is no response. Elijah then calls on Yahweh, who sends fire from heaven to light the sacrifice, proving he is the true God. The people then acknowledge that Yahweh alone is God.
This document summarizes three biblical stories involving the prophet Elijah and fire:
1) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to prove whose god (Baal or Yahweh) answers with fire. Yahweh consumes the sacrifice with fire while Baal does nothing.
2) After fleeing from Jezebel, Elijah experiences God's power through a wind, earthquake, and fire at Mount Horeb.
3) God sends fire to consume two groups of soldiers sent to arrest Elijah when the new king Ahaziah consults a false god instead of Yahweh for help after an accident.
The Book of Amos and the Contemporary World - Part 1Enoch Snowden
The document discusses the biblical prophet Amos and the town of Tekoa where he lived. It provides background information on Tekoa, locating it about 16 km south of Jerusalem. It notes that there is still a town called Tekoa today and it even has a street named after Amos. This confirms details about Amos and Tekoa mentioned in the Bible. The document also summarizes Amos 1:1-3 and discusses themes like God roaring from Zion as a warning and the sins of Damascus against Israel. It concludes with an unrelated tragic news item about two boys being killed in Tekoa.
1. Elijah challenges the false prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to determine whether Baal or the Lord is the true God. The prophets of Baal call on their god all day but receive no response, while Elijah's simple prayer to God results in fire from heaven consuming his sacrifice.
2. All the people declare that the Lord is God. Elijah has the altar of the Lord repaired, which had fallen into disrepair after false worship. He prays again and fire from God consumes the offering.
3. The people acknowledge the Lord as the one true God. We should let God be God and trust in his power, not relying on human efforts or
The document describes a drought that God called upon the land according to Haggai 1:11. It then tells the story from 1 Kings 18 of how Elijah confronted King Ahab and the prophets of Baal to prove that the Lord is God. Elijah challenged them to see whose god could light a sacrifice on fire, and the Lord consumed Elijah's sacrifice with fire from heaven while Baal did nothing. The people acknowledged the Lord as God. It then rains as Elijah said. Jeremiah 17 encourages trusting in the Lord during times of drought by comparing it to a tree with deep roots by water.
Elijah’s Triumph over the Priests of Baal.pptxssuser1a661d
Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest to determine whose god is real. He proposes that they each sacrifice a bull on an altar without lighting a fire. The prophets of Baal call on their god Baal all morning without response. Elijah mocks them, saying perhaps Baal is asleep. When he still does not answer, the prophets cut themselves in desperation. Elijah then successfully calls on the Lord, and fire from heaven consumes his sacrifice, proving the Lord as the true God.
1. Solomon initially experiences wisdom, success, and prosperity as king, building the temple. However, he later disobeys God by taking many foreign wives who turn him to worship other gods.
2. God punishes Solomon, and after his death the kingdom splits into Israel in the north and Judah in the south. Further kings like Ahab and his wife Jezebel lead Israel into greater idolatry.
3. The prophet Elijah confronts Ahab and the prophets of Baal, demonstrating God's power and leading Israel back to worshiping God alone.
This passage describes events involving the prophet Samuel. It introduces Elkanah and his wives Hannah and Peninnah, with Hannah unable to bear children. Hannah prays intensely for a son at the tabernacle and promises to dedicate the child to God. She gives birth to Samuel and keeps her vow, leaving Samuel at the tabernacle to serve God under Eli the priest. Eli's sons mistreat the offerings and people, and God promises to punish Eli's household and raise up Samuel in their place.
Leaflet - St Barnabas Anglican Church, Toronto - 2 June 2013stbarnabastoronto
This document provides details of the Sunday service at St. Barnabas on the Danforth in Toronto on June 23, 2013. The service begins with an opening hymn followed by prayers and readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, and Gospel. It also includes prayers, sharing of peace, communion, and closing hymn. The service is led by Father Jonathan Eayrs with musical accompaniment by organist Neil Houlton. Notices are provided about upcoming Bible study, book club, and an organ restoration campaign.
Elisha was called by God to be a prophet and learned from his master Elijah. Elijah mentored Elisha, teaching him to listen, look, and prophesy God's word. When Elijah was taken up to heaven, Elisha witnessed it and received Elijah's mantle and a double portion of his spirit. Elisha then demonstrated his prophetic authority by parting the Jordan River as Elijah had done. The sons of the prophets recognized God's spirit was now upon Elisha.
The document describes two encounters between Elijah and Elisha. In the first encounter, Elijah calls on God to prove his power and turn the people back to him, while Elisha asks to inherit Elijah's spirit. In the second encounter, Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind while Elisha strikes the water with Elijah's cloak and crosses over, showing he has inherited Elijah's spirit and mantle as a prophet. The encounters show that while Elijah and Elisha had the same call, their focuses and responses to God's calling differed.
Elijah prayed fervently for rain to end a drought, putting his face to the ground between his knees for seven times when his servant reported seeing no clouds. On the seventh time, the servant saw a small cloud forming, and Elijah confidently told King Ahab to prepare for rain. Heavy rain then began, fulfilling God's purpose through what had seemed impossible. The document provides guidance on finding one's own "cloudless sky" or divine purpose through confronting opposition, contending through prayer, confining one's prayers until breakthrough, and confirming God's purpose in one's heart.
This document summarizes key events from Genesis 35:
1) God tells Jacob to return to Bethel and build an altar. Jacob purifies himself and his household from foreign gods.
2) God renames Jacob as "Israel" and blesses him with numerous descendants who will become a great nation.
3) Jacob builds an altar at Bethel in worship of God. However, Rachel dies during childbirth along the journey.
4) The document concludes with Isaac's death at 180 years old, buried by his sons Jacob and Esau. The overall message is that God is with His people even during difficult travels and seasons of life.
The high priest and other Jewish leaders had the apostles arrested for teaching about Jesus. However, an angel freed the apostles from prison. When brought before the Jewish council, the apostles proclaimed that they must obey God rather than men. A prominent teacher named Gamaliel advised caution, saying that if the apostles' movement was not from God, it would fail on its own. The council agreed to flog the apostles and order them not to speak about Jesus, but the apostles rejoiced at being counted worthy to suffer for Jesus and continued preaching daily.
The document provides background information on the places mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, including the timeline of important events in the Holy Land from the birth of Christ to modern times. It also summarizes some of the key themes in Luke, such as an emphasis on prayer, the Holy Spirit, inclusion of women and sinners, and concern for the poor. Several passages from Luke are then quoted that describe events like the annunciation to Mary, the birth of Jesus, his baptism and time in the desert, teachings and miracles, the transfiguration, his entry into Jerusalem, the last supper, crucifixion and burial.
The document discusses the role of prophets in the Old Testament, focusing on Elijah. It describes how Elijah boldly confronted King Ahab and the prophets of Baal, killing the false prophets in a dramatic display of God's power. However, Elijah then became afraid after Queen Jezebel threatened him, fleeing into the wilderness where he fell into a deep depression and prayed to die. The document examines Elijah's dynamic actions and sudden depression, using his example to discuss the role and sacrifices of prophets today.
God instructed Moses to build a sanctuary called the tabernacle so that God could dwell among the Israelites. The tabernacle consisted of an outer sanctuary and an inner most holy place separated by a veil. Only the high priest could enter the most holy place once a year on Yom Kippur with blood sacrifices to atone for sins. The tabernacle and its furnishings, including the ark of the covenant, were built according to God's precise instructions. The tabernacle services involved animal sacrifices on the altar, which pointed to the need for blood atonement but did not ultimately take away sins.
The document discusses the Christian belief in resurrection from physical death based on several Bible passages. It defines resurrection from physical death as meaning that after a person dies physically, their soul continues to live spiritually. While some were resurrected temporarily by prophets and Jesus, true resurrection will occur after final judgment. The afterlife involves either eternal punishment or eternal life depending on one's deeds, and both righteous and unrighteous souls await final judgment in temporary places that are described as either paradise or torment.
Philip encounters an Ethiopian eunuch who is reading Isaiah on his journey. Philip joins him and explains that the passage refers to Jesus. When they come upon water, the eunuch asks to be baptized. Philip baptizes him and then the Spirit transports Philip to another city, while the eunuch continues on rejoicing in his new faith.
This document lists various figures, objects, and events from the Old Testament that are presented as types or foreshadowings of Jesus Christ. It provides numerous biblical references showing how aspects of Adam, Abel, Abraham, Aaron, the Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, sacrifices on the Day of Atonement, the Brazen Serpent, the Brazen Altar, burnt offerings, cities of refuge, David, Eliakim, first-fruits, the golden candlestick, golden altar, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob's ladder, Joseph, Joshua, Jonah, the laver of brass, a leper's offering, manna and more point forward to or prefigure aspects of Jesus and his ministry.
Jesus is brought before Pilate and Herod and accused of crimes but found innocent. The crowds demand Barabbas be released instead of Jesus. Jesus is crucified between two criminals. One criminal repents as Jesus promises him paradise. With Jesus' death, the temple curtain is torn in two, signifying direct access to God.

Jesus has been called the "Great Physician." We think of His miracles of healing. But those miracles of healing our physical bodies point to a far greater miracle--the healing of our heart and soul. He doesn't just mean physical life and death. He points to something greater--spiritual life and death, both in this world and the next.

We can look far and wide, with people, with events, with experiences, with acquisitions, and with just about anything else you of which comes to mind. But we will never touch the deepest parts of our soul until we find what Jesus called "living water." We will experience more of that living water as we become dispensers of living water, just like the woman we'll study this week!

What did it cost her in terms of her life’s plans? What did it cost her socially, with her family, with friends and neighbors? What does radical obedience cost us?

Beneath people's veneer are hidden questions. "Do I matter? Do I matter to anyone? Does someone really care about me?" People hunger and thirst for real "life," that sense of satisfaction that comes from being deeply connected with God and others. That is what Christ offers us, and He offers this real "life" through us to others! What we all want to know, is how does this happen?
The document discusses issues people have with the Bible and argues for its authority and trustworthiness. It notes that Jesus viewed the Bible as a story that reaches its climax in his life, and that he considered it trustworthy and authoritative. The document argues that Jesus is the ultimate authority, but that he mediates his authority through scripture, so obeying the Bible means obeying Jesus.
Jeremiah lamented over his people, weeping for their unfaithfulness and the destruction that would come. As the prophet of God, he faced opposition and persecution for delivering messages of judgment. He proclaimed that Jerusalem would fall to Babylon due to their sins. Still, God expressed tender compassion for Israel and a hope that they would one day return to Him.

Gender our biblical worldview part 7 seth g october 18 2020Pacific Church
In our day there is growing confusion about gender. There is a secular movement of thinking that seeks to minimize or obliterate any differences between genders. In this secular way of thinking, gender is something that one feels or identifies as. This is like leaving a great sailing ship on the high seas without sails and a rudder. It will be carried along wherever the current wishes, adrift on the open seas. The unintended consequences of this thinking is to create greater confusion for young people who already struggle with their gender and confusing feelings of their identity, but there is a wondrous design to complementary gender that seeks to build intimacy in a marriage, deeper relationships with people, and reflects the wonder of our Trinitarian God.

What does the bible say about marriage? Up until 15-20 years ago this was not a "controversial" topic. Everyone knew the answer. Our secular culture continues to send its tsunami waves at our Judeo-Christian heritage, causing great confusion. How are we to think about same-sex marriage? What does the bible say? Before we address those questions we will spend time reviewing what makes a marriage a biblical marriage.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. God's upper story. God wants to
be with us, and will pay any
price to make it so.
3. Overview Of The Northern Kingdom
Matthew 23:34 Therefore I am sending you
prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of
them you will kill and crucify; others you will
flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to
town.
4. Overview Of The Northern Kingdom
35 And so upon you will come all the righteous
blood that has been shed on earth, from the
blood of righteous Abel to the blood of
Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered
between the temple and the altar.
5. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
1 Kings 18:17 When he (King Ahab) saw Elijah,
he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of
Israel?" 18 "I have not made trouble for Israel,"
Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family
have. You have abandoned the LORD's
commands and have followed the Baals.
6. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
19 Now summon the people from all over Israel
to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the
four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the
four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at
Jezebel's table." 20 So Ahab sent word
throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets
on Mount Carmel.
7. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
21 Elijah went before the people and said, "How
long will you waver between two opinions? If the
LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God,
follow him." But the people said nothing.
8. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
22 Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one
of the LORD's prophets left, but Baal has four
hundred and fifty prophets.
9. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
23 Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for
themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and
put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will
prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but
not set fire to it.
10. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I
will call on the name of the LORD. The god who
answers by fire - he is God." Then all the people
said, "What you say is good."
11. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose
one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there
are so many of you. Call on the name of your
god, but do not light the fire."
12. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
26 So they took the bull given them and prepared
it. Then they called on the name of Baal from
morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they
shouted. But there was no response; no one
answered. And they danced around the altar
they had made.
13. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout
louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he
is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe
he is sleeping and must be awakened." 28 So they
shouted louder and slashed themselves with
swords and spears, as was their custom, until
their blood flowed.
14. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
29 Midday passed, and they continued their
frantic prophesying until the time for the
evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no
one answered, no one paid attention.
15. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here
to me." They came to him, and he repaired the
altar of the LORD, which was in ruins.
16. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the
tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word
of the LORD had come, saying, "Your name
shall be Israel."
17. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of
the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large
enough to hold two seahs of seed.
18. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
33 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces
and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them,
"Fill four large jars with water and pour it on
the offering and on the wood."
19. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
34 "Do it again," he said, and they did it again.
"Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it
the third time. 35 The water ran down around the
altar and even filled the trench.
20. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah
stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of
Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today
that you are God in Israel and that I am your
servant and have done all these things at your
command.
21. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
37 Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these
people will know that you, O LORD, are God,
and that you are turning their hearts back
again."
22. Elijah: Showdown at the Not OK Corral
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up
the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil,
and also licked up the water in the trench.
23. The Prophet Hosea
Hosea 1:2 When the LORD began to speak
through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go, take
to yourself an adulterous wife and children of
unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty of the
vilest adultery in departing from the LORD."
24. The Prophet Hosea
3 So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and
she conceived and bore him a son.."
25. The Prophet Hosea
Hosea 2:14 "Therefore I am now going to allure
her; I will lead her into the desert and speak
tenderly to her.
26. The Prophet Hosea
15 There I will give her back her vineyards, and
will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as
in the day she came up out of Egypt.
27. Hosea, and the Slave Auction
Hosea 3:1 The LORD said to me, "Go, show
your love to your wife again, though she is loved
by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the
LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to
other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes."
28. Hosea, and the Slave Auction
2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and
about a homer and a lethek of barley.
29. Hosea, and the Slave Auction
3 Then I told her, "You are to live with me many
days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate
with any man, and I will live with you."
30. Hosea, and the Slave Auction
4 For the Israelites will live many days without
king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones,
without ephod or idol. 5 Afterward the Israelites
will return and seek the LORD their God and
David their king. They will come trembling to
the LORD and to his blessings in the last days.
