Who Was Elijah?
In short
Elijah was a bold prophet who stood alone against the prophets of Baal and called Israel back to the true God. God answered him with fire, and cared for him when he was afraid and exhausted.
In his lowest moment, Elijah heard God not in wind or earthquake or fire, but in a still small voice.
“And after the fire a still small voice.”
1 Kings 19:12 · King James Version (public domain)
