Elijah's Showdown on Mount Carmel

Elijah Calls Down Fire From Heaven - The Day God Answered With Fire Scripture: 1 Kings

18 Israel was in trouble. Many people had stopped worshiping God and had begun

bowing down to a false god named Baal. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel encouraged

it, and the nation drifted further away from the truth. But God sent one

man to stand against the darkness — Elijah, His prophet. One day, Elijah challenged

the prophets of Baal to a showdown on Mount Carmel. “Let’s see who is the true God!” he

said. “We’ll each prepare a sacrifice. You call on your god,

and I will call on the Lord. The God who answers by fire — He is the true God!”
