Elijah Flees to Horeb | The Lord Appears to Elijah | Call of Elisha | 1 Kings 19

Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram.Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel–all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him.”So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother good-by,” he said, “and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.

This is the first time I’ve seen a video that I can follow along reading in my New International Study Bible I am so glad I came across this video and I want to say thank you so much for sharing

[frankkociara]

1 of the great prophets of the bible. great video as usual!

Elijah probably the greatest man in the old testament, for he had only one goal in life...to obey YAHWEH

[b.d.]

So to us men that have fled a jezebel, sometimes we are called to go back. The way we came and continue on.
The lesson God is giving us is that the jezebel bark is worse than the bite.
And we should stand our ground until God makes a way. I've known men to leave different states, running from a wicked woman and what she did to them in court. And I've known other men who stayed and God slowly made a victory for those men.

This a Bible study. Praise the Lord!!!

My revolation from God. On the evening of Nov 1st 2023 just under a month after Israel was attacked, I was laying in bed with my wife Emily waiting for dinner to be done cooking. I then walked downstairs to check on the pizza and the pizza had a few minutes left. Listening to music and thinking of God and the oppressed people my soul was suddenly overwhelmed and i began thinking of my oppressors and yelling upwardly to God asking how much longer will they oppress me and the other saints. I then took the pizza out of the oven and set it on the counter, and paced the kitchen. The angel of the Lord then came upon me. My arms stretched apart, then together in prayer. I then fell to my knees, and the glory of the Lord shone round about me: Immediately I was in the spirit. Clouds and a mist invited me up, while the winds carried me up tonthe throne of God and after revealed beasts with a lot of eyes everywhere and within. There eyes color was like unto the day sky. Like the beast and seraphim of Ezekiel which were round about the Throne. Before the Throne was a sea of glass like unto crystal, which divided the cheribum and the ophinum from the throne and seraphim above the firmament. He that sat upon the Throne was a great light like unto the sun but vastly brighter, and a rainbow shown round about the Throne. That great light is God. I began to plea, please take me Lord, please take me. I then saw Emily walking away from me going behind the blanket into the livingroom, and In that same moments my vision ended I then approached her and embraced her and told her what I had just witnessed.
Emily's point of view.
Michael went downstairs to the kitchen to pull out the pizza from the oven and to cut it with a knife. Soon after I heard him yelling about the people who have oppressed him and done him wrongfully and how he no longer wants to live in this world. Then a loud thump occurred and I heard him crying please take me, please take me and that he no longer wants to be here and crying in general. I thought this was just him having an emotional break down but it persisted. I got out of bed and while going downstairs I called out are you ok a few times and hearing no response I quickened my pace. I also heard him speaking in a language i couldn't understand or known to man. I peaked through the blanket that covered the doorway to the kitchen that revealed Michael on his knees face down with his hands under his face and his feet crossed speaking in tounges. (For he that speaketh in a unknown tounge speaketh not to men but unto God). I asked again are you OK and still no answer so moved the blanket and walked up to him and touched his back and asked again are you ok. Michael then turned and looked at me with a crying face and yelled don't touch me and to get away from me very emotionally. I then left the room and came in Michael behind me and he embraced me saying "I just saw the Throne of God"
