Elijah's Showdown With The Prophets of Ball & Its Implications

Elijah’s Showdown With The Prophets of Ball & Its Implications

Spread the love

The event is recorded in the 18th chapter of the book of Kings. Elijah had been living in Sidon  with a widow for some time, hiding from Ahab. God finally commands him to leave Sidon and confront Ahab. At this point  the people of Israel under Ahab’s leadership are living in sin and completely oblivious to their depravity. Elijah is basically sent to restore them; but to do so God commands him to call fire down from heaven. We are going to be looking at the significance of this event in today’s presentation.
