Episode 167 - Elijah and the Prophets of Baal” (part 2)

Written By Frank Spina

Episode Summary

In this episode, Elijah’s deity shows up and consumes the sacrifice with fire.  As though this were not startling enough, the sacrifice and the wood had been drenched.  This demonstration had the intended effect, namely, the Israelites acknowledged their God was indeed God.  Afterwards, Elijah slaughters the prophets of Baal!  Then, the prophet outruns King Ahab to Jezreel, even though the king is in a chariot and Elijah is on foot!  I point out why this story should not be seen as a historical description.
