Elijah and the Fire from Heaven

On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal call desperately to their god. But despite their

shouting and dancing, no fire appears. Elijah, a lone prophet of the Lord,

steps forward with calm confidence. He rebuilds the altar and orders water to be

poured until it is soaked. Then, Elijah raises his eyes to heaven

and prays to the living God. Suddenly, fire descends from the sky,

consuming everything in a brilliant explosion. The crowd falls to their knees. The Lord,

He is God.
