Faceoff 1 Kings 18 Chew the Bible Season 3

In 1 Kings 18, the prophet Elijah confronts King Ahab during a severe drought in Israel. Ahab has been leading the people into idolatry by worshiping Baal. Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel: both sides will prepare a sacrifice, but they must not light the fire. Instead, each will pray to their god, and the true God will answer with fire.

The prophets of Baal cry out all day, cutting themselves and shouting, but nothing happens. Elijah mocks them, saying maybe Baal is asleep. Then Elijah rebuilds the altar of the Lord, drenches the sacrifice with water three times, and prays. Immediately, God sends fire from heaven, burning up the offering, the wood, the stones, and even the water. The people fall on their faces, declaring, “The Lord, He is God!” Elijah orders the prophets of Baal to be seized, and afterward, he prays for rain. The drought finally ends with a mighty downpour, showing God’s power and mercy.
