Elijah, Prophet to Israel (Level 2 | 25)

Bible Literacy Foundation Season 2 Episode 35

We journey through the life of the prophet Elijah during a rebellious reign in the northern kingdom of Israel. Elijah stands against the idolatry of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, delivering God's judgment of drought upon the land. We discuss God's miraculous provision for Elijah, including his time in Zarephath with a widow and her son, and the epic showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. We end with a reflection on the downfall of the northern kingdom and its exile by the Assyrian Empire in 722 BC.
