What would you do if Christianity and Judaism were to become illegal? What if your government mandated that large church buildings become government buildings and museums, while small churches were bulldozed? What if all known men and women of God were designated enemies of the state and either imprisoned in solitary confinement or summarily executed? What if the government started a new state religion, which was clearly a substitute for the worship of Yahweh God?
What if you seemed to be the only one who recognized the situation, the only person who still recognized and prayed to God? Would you keep a low profile for your own safety? Would you pray for God's honor?
This is exactly the situation in which Elijah found himself in ancient Israel. Not only was he apparently the only man of God left in the land, he was seemingly a nobody. He was an ordinary man living in a rural area.
Join us as we examine Elijah's life in the crucible of ancient Israel, where he jumped from obscurity to the most wanted, where the entire government mobilized itself to find him, in order to put him to death. Join us as we follow his death-defying steps to one of the greatest miracles of God in all history. Would you like to be an Elijah?
