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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 38 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Kings. Elijah repairs the Lord’s altar with twelve stones representing the twelve tribes and soaks the sacrifice with water before praying. God responds with fire that consumes the offering and the water. The people then acknowledge the Lord as God. The restoration of the altar and the twelve stones recalls that the conflict is not merely between one prophet and several priests, but concerns Israel’s entire identity as the covenant people.
