A Message about God’s Hidden Remnant

You remember the story of Elijah. On Mount Carmel, he faced 850 false prophets in a life-or-death showdown over whose God would prevail. 

He simply called on the Lord, and supernatural fire fell from heaven. The engulfing blast of heat consumed both the prophet’s sacrifice and the 12 barrels full of water he had poured around it. What an awesome display of God’s almighty power! 

The false prophets trembled at the sight, and the backslidden Israelites who were present fell to their knees, crying, “The Lord, he is God! The Lord, he is God!” (1 Kings 18:39).

Elijah then slew every one of those 850 false prophets. Suddenly, the conditions seemed perfect for a revival in Israel. The awakening Elijah was praying for appeared to be on the brink of happening. Surely, the people would listen to him now. Elijah must have been thinking, “This is God’s hour. It is the beginning of the renewal I have preached about for so long!”

Before he came near the city, however, he was accosted by a messenger from wicked Queen Jezebel. She threatened, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time” (1 Kings 19:2). She was telling Elijah, “You’ve got one day to live, prophet, before I slay you the way you slew my priests.”
