1^st KINGS
CHAPTER 19

Elijah traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night.

And the word of the LORD came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD,
but the LORD was not in the wind.

After the earthquake came a fire,
but the LORD was not in the fire.

And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

The LORD said to him, “Anoint Elisha son of Shaphat to succeed you as prophet. Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him.”

So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother good-by,” he said, “and then I will come with you.”

“Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”

So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.

Good morning Dan, and good morning to everyone.
Very exciting lesson Dan, thank you. The Word of God is powerful indeed, and filled with lessons for each of us. Thanks be to God!!

The Word of God is powerful indeed

I'd be concerned if it weren't, Leon.

EARTH quake shattering the mountains!
WIND blowing boulders around!
FIRE consuming them!

Do you suppose this was the origin of their name? Or at least a contributor?

In the last picture (#18) it looks like the ox is wearing a surgical mask. Covid?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I'd suggest it's a feedbag, thereby illuminating Paul's dictum, "“Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” 1 Timothy 5:18.

[Red Badger]

I suspect that it is.........................

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I had never made that connection previously. I’d always assumed it related to the Greek philosophy on elemental forces.

Hi, Ben!

Keep it down, Mary-Lou--no exclamation marks. Think _{still small voice....}

Thank you for posting these threads.
