The Battle Of The Gods: Elijah III by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
~ The Inevitable Outcome ~
THE FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY prophets of Baal dance in a frenzy around their altar of sacrifice, more and more energetically as the day progresses. Baal does not respond. Fire does not fall from heaven. Elijah begins to mock and taunt them. “Shout louder. Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.” (1 Kings 18:27) They cut themselves, as is their practice, until their blood spatters and flows everywhere, dancing ever more wildly. Continuing in “Frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.” (1 Kings 18:29)
