Elijah: Showdown On Mt. Carmel
Elijah has been staying with a widow in the Phoenician village of Zarephath located on the Mediterranean coast between Tyre and Sidon. Israel is experiencing its third year of drought and Ahab has looked high and low for one he believes to be responsible, Elijah.
It is at this time that God summons His prophet to confront the people of Israel with a choice. Will they follow the Lord their God or will they continue worshiping the false god Baal.
