Scripture Reading:- 1 Kings 18:1-40
Topic:- First Fire From Heaven Through Elijah
Text:- 1 Kings 18:38
The greatest achievement and miracle of Elijah’s life was his victory over the Priests of Baal at Mt. Carmel. Having heard that the other Prophets of God were also persecuted, he requested King Ahab to gather the people of Israel, the 450 Priests of Baal, and the 400 Prophets of Ashtaroth on Mt. Carmel.
Then he asked the people of Israel the famous question, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” or “How long halt ye between two opinions?”, meaning, “How long will ye be undecided as to whether ye shall follow God or Baal?” The people remaining silent.
He invited the Priests of Baal to a contest, proposing that he and they should each build an Altar and lay a burnt offering thereon, and that the God who should send down fire from heaven to consume the offering should be accepted as the true God.
After various unsuccessful attempts to get a favorable answer had been made by the Prophets of Baal, while they were ridiculed with subtle irony by Elijah, Elijah prayed, and God of Israel sent fire from heaven to consume his offering.
