1 THE GOD THAT ANSWERETH BY FIRE BIBLE TEXT : I Kings 18:1 46. LESSON 297 Junior Course MEMORY VERSE: How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him (I Kings 18:21). BIBLE TEXT in King James Version 1 Kings 18: And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 10 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the BIBLE REFERENCES: NOTES: A Famine During the reign of Ahab, king of Israel, there was a famine because God sent no rain and no dew for three and a half years. This was the judgment of God. Ahab s evil deeds were greater than those of any king who had been before him. Ahab had married a heathen woman, named Jezebel, and he allowed her to continue her idolatrous worship. Soon Ahab and the Children of Israel were worshiping Baal, too. Ahab built an altar to Baal, and made a grove for idolatrous worship. He did more to displease God than all the kings of Israel before him. Elijah was the man who had delivered God s message that there would be no rain. When these words came to pass, the streams dried up, the grass withered, there was little food, and Ahab began to look for Elijah. Ahab searched throughout all the land. There was no nation and no kingdom that was not searched for Elijah. If Ahab had sought God as he sought Elijah, and had repented, perhaps God would have sent rain sooner. Obadiah In Ahab s home was a man by the name of Obadiah, who was considered the governor of Ahab s household. Obadiah had feared the Lord from his youth. He had risked his life by hiding and feeding 100 prophets of the Lord when Jezebel had destroyed a number of God s prophets. One day Obadiah was searching for grass for the horses and mules. Elijah appeared to him and asked him to tell Ahab that Elijah was there. At first Obadiah was afraid to tell Ahab. But when he was assured that Elijah would meet Ahab, Obadiah carried the message to the king. Rain Promised Elijah was carrying out the orders of God. Ahab had not found Elijah before because God had hidden Elijah. God told Elijah where to go and where to get food and water during the famine. God had now appeared to Elijah and promised that rain would be sent. But the Lord told Elijah to go and see Ahab. Elijah might have been fearful to let Ahab see him but this was the condition on which God would send rain. God s Promises In the Bible there are many promises of God. Along with the promises are given the directions for us to follow, in order that we might claim the promises. When we do what God has said, then God will fulfil His promise. For example, there is a promise to those who pray, having faith: What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:24). In Proverbs we read what to do in order to receive mercy: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13). Here are some other portions of Scripture which tell us what to do in order to receive the promise: Whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe (Proverbs 29:25); Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you The God that answereth by fire 1 of 5

2 Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth. 13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. 16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Ar thou he that troubleth Israel? 18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the up (James 4:10); and Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). If you lack something that God has promised, you can have it by obeying and believing God. What God has promised, He is well able to do when we do our part and meet His conditions. Blaming God and His People When Ahab received Obadiah s message, he went out to meet Elijah. Ahab greeted Elijah with these words: Art thou he that troubleth Israel? Ahab was trying to blame the Prophet of God for the famine. But Elijah told Ahab what the trouble was: Ahab and the people had forsaken God s command-ments, and were worshiping the idol, Baal. For this reason, punishment was sent upon them. When they disobeyed God, they suffered for it. Sometimes today people try to blame God when judgment comes to them because of their sin and disobedience. Or they will try to put the blame on God s people on something that has been said or done. The Bible says, The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether (Psalm 19:9). When God s smile of approval is withheld, there is some reason for it. Let a person search his heart first; and if he is clear before God, may he feel that God is working out some good in his life, because he knows that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). But if, when he searches his heart before God, a person is condemned and finds that he has done wrong, he must be honest enough to admit his failure and ask God for forgiveness. Even if someone else had said something and had done something that could not be understood, a person, himself, is to blame when he fails God. A Choice Elijah knew that Ahab and the Children of Israel could not go on in their idolatrous and sinful way and have God s blessing too. Elijah knew that they would have to destroy the sin, which had brought the judgment of God. Elijah was willing to help the Children of Israel. He did not demand that they worship the true and living God, but Elijah put the choice to the people. Elijah stood before all the people and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. These words of Elijah should be a challenge to each person today. Some people try to have a good opinion of the world and a love for God; they try to have a mixture of the blessings of God and the sinful pleasures of the world, but the two are opposite and cannot be mixed. One cannot serve God and mammon. He will either love one and hate the other or he will hold to one and despise the other (Matthew 6:24 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.). Those who are saved serve God because they love God, and have made the choice to follow Him. Those who are not God s people have chosen to be children of the devil. What choice have you made? A Test Elijah wanted the Children of Israel to prove for themselves and to know for themselves that the Lord is the only true and living God. It was planned that the 450 prophets of Baal would offer a sacrifice to their god, and that Elijah - one prophet of God - would offer a sacrifice to God. It was agreed that the God The God that answereth by fire 2 of 5

3 other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him who answered by fire would be acknowledged as the true God. The prophets of Baal prepared their sacrifice, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. The prophets of Baal were very earnest. They leaped upon the altar, hoping to attract Baal s attention. But still there was no answer. In the afternoon they cried all the louder to their god. Elijah had suggested that maybe Baal was away on a journey, or perhaps he was asleep and needed to be awakened. In their sincerity the Baalites cried the louder. In their desperation they cut themselves with knives so that the blood gushed out upon them. Still there was no answer, because Baal was an idol and could not help them even if he had heard and had seen them. The prophets of Baal had earnestly sought but they were not calling upon the name of the true and living God who not only hears and sees but also answers and helps. Fire from Heaven At the time of the evening sacrifice it was Elijah s turn to call upon his God to send fire. Elijah was very careful to rebuild the altar of the Lord, which had been broken down. He took twelve stones, representing the twelve tribes of the Children of Israel, to build the altar unto the name of the Lord. The wood was placed in order, and then the bullock, which was cut in pieces was placed upon it. Around the altar a trench or ditch was dug. Over the sacrifice, the wood, and the altar, water was poured, so that it ran down and filled the trench. After everything was in order and prepared according to the command of the Lord, Elijah prayed. He asked God to answer his prayer, in order to let the people know that the Lord was God. No doubt the people stood by, watching intently. Would Elijah s God answer? Would God answer the prayer of one man when Baal had not answered the 450 prophets? Could Elijah s God really send fire from Heaven? Could the sacrifice be burned after it was so thoroughly soaked with water? Perhaps they wondered how long Elijah would call upon his God. As the people stood there, they saw the fire of the LORD fall. The sacrifice and the wood were burned up, but the fire did not stop. It continued to burn even the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water in the trench. This wonderful miracle happened before their very eyes. Elijah s God was able to send fire! Elijah s God did answer his prayer! The people worshiped the Lord and said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. The prophets of Baal had to be slain because they had encouraged and helped the people to worship a false god. If the prophets of Baal had been spared, perhaps they would have again persuaded the people to forsake God and to worship an idol. Rain Why did Elijah do all this? To remove the sin which had brought the judgement of God. When this was done the people could expect the promised rain. Elijah told them that there was an abundance of rain coming. They believed Elijah and obeyed him. While Ahab went to eat and drink, Elijah prayed. God had promised to send rain, but still it was Elijah s part to pray. In order to claim God s promises today, He people must continue to pray. After they are saved, they pray to be sanctified. Jesus prayed that His people would be sanctified (John 17: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also The God that answereth by fire 3 of 5

4 on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 34 And he said, Do i the second time. And they did i the second time. And he said, Do i the third time. And they did i the third time. 35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and tha thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; ); and we read, This is the will of God, even your sanctification (I Thessalonians 4:3). But God s people must pray and consecrate their lives to Him in order to receive it. After they are sanctified, they must seek God to be baptized with the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:5 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. ). This experience also has been promised (Acts 1:8 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. John 14:16 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:26 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 15:26 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 16:7 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.), but those who have received it have done so only as they earnestly prayed and believed God. Praying There on Mount Carmel Elijah cast himself down before the Lord, and prayed. Then he sent his servant to see if there was any sign of rain. There was no sign, so Elijah prayed again and again. After Elijah had prayed the seventh time, the servant said that there was a small cloud about the size of a man s hand. To Elijah, that was sign enough that God was sending rain. He sent word to Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. There on Mount Carmel Elijah had prayed once and God had sent fire from heaven. That was most unusual, but the Lord answered Elijah s prayer that the people would believe that the Lord was God. Elijah had to pray seven times before God sent the rain. Elijah is a good example for us. He prayed unto he received that which God had promised. The cloud was very small and there had been no rain for three and a half years, but Elijah believed God, and so his prayer was answered. Faithful Elijah Before they could reach the city, the sky was black with clouds and wind. There was a great rain, which the land and the people needed. The people were blessed both spiritually and materially because Elijah was willing to obey God - brave to stand before evil Ahab, and courageous to slay the prophets of Baal. God was honoured and the people were restored, because Elijah took his stand for the Lord and right - one man against the 450 prophets of Baal. Who knows what will be done for the Lord and for others if each boy and each girl in our Sunday School will be obedient to God and will take a stand for that which is right? QUESTIONS 1.
