Elijah

Called down fire one day, asked to die the next.

The story

  1. No rain

    He confronts Ahab and announces a drought by the LORD's word.

  2. Ravens and a widow

    God feeds him in hiding. He raises the widow's son at Zarephath.

  3. Fire on Carmel

    He calls Israel to choose. Fire falls, and the people cry that the LORD is God.

  4. Asks to die

    Jezebel threatens him. He runs into the desert and asks God to take his life.

  5. A low whisper

    God feeds him, meets him at Horeb in a quiet voice, and tells him 7,000 have stayed faithful.

  6. Taken up

    A chariot of fire parts him from Elisha, and he goes up by a whirlwind into heaven.
