Elijah The Prophet Part 2

THE Israelites often broke God's Commandments. They married pagans and even worshiped false gods. Out of pity for them, God sent holy men to lead them back to Him. These were the prophets. They also foretold the coming of the Savior. The greatest of the prophets were Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. The prophet Elijah lived when King Ahab was ruling Israel. This king had married a pagan, Jezebel, and had built a temple to her god, Baal. Ahab also adored Baal. Elijah was sent by God to warn Ahab. He said, "To punish you for worshiping idols God will not send any rain for three years. There will be a famine." With the country suffering from a great famine because there had been no rain for three years, God sent Elijah back to Ahab. He told the king that the famine was a punishment for his sins. The king's wife, Jezebel, had killed almost all the true prophets of God. In their place she had put several hundred false prophets to sing the praises of her false god. Elijah asked Ahab to gather these false prophets on Mount Carmel. The people also gathered there. Elijah said to them, "If the Lord is God, you should obey Him. But if the god of Jezebel is the true god, then follow him." Elijah then asked for two oxen, one for the false prophets and one for himself. He said to these prophets, "You call upon your gods, and I will call upon the Lord. The god that shall answer by fire consuming the sacrifice will be known to be the true god." This plan seemed very good to the people.
The false prophets laid the ox upon an altar. They called upon their god from morning till noon, but there was no answer. They cried still louder and even cut themselves until they were covered with blood. But no answer came. Then Elijah told the people to gather around him. He put wood on an altar and laid the ox on the wood. He poured buckets of water over the sacrifice. When the hour of the evening sacrifice came, Elijah prayed, "0 Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, show this day that You are the true God of Israel." As he was praying, fire came down from heaven and burnt up the sacrifice and the altar itself. When the people saw this, they fell down to the ground and cried, "The Lord is God! The Lord is God!"

I am sooo sick and tired of whenever biblical characters are played they are always portrayed as white when these people were black not white, As if blacks have never been in any part of history except for them being slaves they have no problem being portraying blacks like that when the truth of the matter is blacks were the first people and everything come from blacks.

@ScriptureOnly Amen. God bless you brother.

@yashiramarrero23 Actually they were Middle eastern.

@95nik It's hard to answer you quickly why most jews you see are white now. It's also interesting to ask a orthodox jew what they think about the zionist movement and the state of Israel. A short research insto zionism or khazars would most likely show you what i mean..

Again as far as anybody claiming to be jewish it is a null and void arguement as wether you are a jew or an egyptian or an american or a palestinian. Jesus is there for all.

@95nik But only God knows the answer to our question.

@ScriptureOnly I don't know what race were the Jews, but as I see today they are white. I found a part in the Bible where we clearly read that the Jews were white, where Solomon's bride says to Jerusalem's daughter's:

" 6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. " The Song of Songs, Which is Solomon's (1:6)
