Elijah and the Prophets of Baal | 1 Kings 18 | KJV Bible Reading and Study

Three and a half years without rain. Then the prophet Elijah came out of hiding and called all Israel to Mount Carmel: four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal on one side, one prophet of the LORD on the other, two altars, and no fire under either. "The God that answereth by fire, let him be God." This is the whole of 1 Kings 18, read word for word from the King James Bible, followed by a study: who Ahab and Jezebel were, why Baal and why a drought, Obadiah, "how long halt ye between two opinions?", the fire that fell on the sacrifice and what it points to, Elijah's weakness in the very next chapter, and what it all means for us today.
