Along with Moses, Elijah is probably regarded as one of the greatest prophets of God. A man that God used to demonstrate his powers in a most dramatic way. Israel was being ruled by the foolish King Ahab and evil Queen Jezebel; who’s leadership turned the people away from God and towards Baal. Elijah a man of faith and courage stepped up and showed with miraculous intervention that there is only one true God, “Yahweh;” the God of Abraham, Isaac & Israel - Today he still wants us to be his people.
