Who was EliYah?
|
||||||||
Inside this issue: |
||||||||
EliYah was an obedient prophet of Yahweh. At the time, the wicked King Ahab | Who was EliYah?
|
|||||||
and his evil queen, Jezebel, were ruling over Israel. They were worshipping Baal | Personality Profile
|
|||||||
instead of Yahweh. They hated the prophets of Yahweh and had many of them | EliYah & the Drought
|
|||||||
killed. |
|
|||||||
"As they were |
||||||||
EliYah lived in the desert and | walking along and |
|||||||
was fed by ravens. In time, EliYah | talking together |
|||||||
confronted King Ahab, “Let’s see | suddenly a chariot |
|||||||
once and for all if Baal is the true | of fire and horses |
|||||||
mighty one.” So the priests of Baal | of fire appeared |
|||||||
prepared an altar for their mighty | and separated the |
|||||||
one and begged him to consume | two of them, and
|
|||||||
it. They cried out for hours and | Eliyah went up to |

still nothing happened. Finally | heaven in a whirl- |

Yahweh. He even flooded it with | ||||||||
water to prove that Yahweh could | ||||||||
|
||||||||
But Yahweh protected EliYah and Jezebel was killed. Many miracles were performed by Yahweh through EliYah. He truly was an obedient prophet. May we all be as faithful to Yahweh! |

Personality Profile: Jezebel
|
||||||||
Many people have wondered why EliYah ran for his life when Jezebel threaten-ed to kill him. After all, he had seen Yahweh’s miracles with his own eyes. We can glean a little more background information from the historian, Josephus. In his writings, Josephus recorded Jezebel’s family history. Apparently, Jezebel’s father was a high priest in a pagan temple in Tyre. His reign was characterized by murderous idolatries and a reckless contempt for human rights. Evidently, his daughter Jezebel followed in his footsteps. Her reputation was such that she even struck terror in the heart of Yahweh’s own prophet!

EliYah and the Drought
|
||||||||
EliYah and the land of Israel suffered through a terrible drought. The drought lasted for three years. | ||||||||

drought is?
