Description

Image Title: Place of Elijah's Sacrifice on Mt. Carmel

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The one great name associated with Mount Germel is that of the prophet Elijah, and the one great event in the prophet's sacrifices in the sight of all Israel, when the solemn choice of the nation was made between Jehovah and Baal. Near the foot of the mountain overlooking the plain, stands a rocky plateau which tradition has fixed upon as the site of the two rival altars. Around one altar stood the four hundred priest of Ball, shouting hoarsely for their god to send the fire upon the waiting sacrifice, but calling in vain. By the other altar stood Elijah alone, the prophet of Jehovah, lifting his solitary voice to God. In a moment his prayer was answered; the fire fell from the heavens;the offering was burned; the water in the trench around it was licked up; even the dust upon the altar was consume and its stones were destroyed under the intense heat; while the people shouted with one voice. "Jehovah, He is God!""
