Not everyone knows who Elijah was. But everyone knows who Jezebel was. Her name is a by word for corruption and depravity. She was queen of Israel with her husband, Ahab. She led Israel to worship every devil god she could find. Elijah prayed and it didn’t rain for 31/2 years. They were hunting for Elijah. But God hid him. Finally God sent him back and met Ahab on Mount Carmel to prove who really was God. After God performed a miracle and proved who He was. Elijah prayed and it rain again. Elijah had the people of Israel kill all the prophets of ba’al. Jezebel got angry at Elijah and said I will do the same to you. Elijah ran from Jezebel after all these things happened. His faith failed until he reached the mountain of God and talked with God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) (1Kings 18,19) (James 5:17).
