Elijah Reading Check in

Elijah was a prophet from Gilead in the land of Israel. He was ordained by God to give God’s message to the Israelites. Ahab was a King of Israel. He made the disobedient choice of marrying Jezebel. In doing so, Ahab brought the worship of Baal and Asherah into Israel. Jezebel wanted to make Baal Israel's national god. Baal is defined as a Canaanite god who was mistakenly thought to control the weather. Elijah pronounced a judgment of drought upon Israel as a punishment for their idolatry. He wanted to cause Israel to examine itself. When Elijah proclaimed there would be no rain and then he predicted the time the rain would return, God proved that He alone ruled the weather. Judgment is the righteous consequences of people's actions. God protected Elijah after pronouncing judgment on Israel by telling him where to hide. God provided for Elijah during this time. God led Elijah to a widow's home for provision when the river dried up. Elijah's faithful relationship with God gave him the courage to boldly confront sin. Obadiah was a prophet like Elijah, he hid 100 prophets in two caves to protect them from Ahab and Jezebel, because Jezebel vowed to kill all the prophets of God in Israel at that time.
