Two day’s worth of Elijah’s fiery chariot ride to heaven, beginning on Friday. Artists find Elijah paintable.

You probably know this ... the people in No.9 are followers of Mad Mo, the false prophet of “allah”. Some things don’t change much.

Elijah, Oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn. This performance is in English, I have also heard it in French and German. The "mocking the prophets of ba'al" part is particularly good.

Yeah, but they illustrated the text, so I threw it in. Couldn’t resist....

God’s exquisite sense of humor is largely unappreciated, but I am a big fan.

Among the illustrations, #21 and #23..awe, fear, expressed well in the faces and gestures of the people observing this miraculous event.
Thank you for the beautiful stained glass windows....you are safe for another day!

“Elijah” doesn’t get the popular recognition that “Messiah” gets, which is unfortunate. IMO, it’s on the same level.

I don’t get number 1- what is it supposed to represent? A lukewarm church? How does it represent that? Ismit,suggesting that lukewarm churches end up in hell? Or are chained to their lukewarmness? I like the sculpture, jusy not sure how it represents lukewarm
