BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS
The curses of rebellion and witchcraft had brought much suffering to land. Uncontrollably, the evil power using nature had brought king Ahab to his knees. In his desperation, he was willing to listen to Elijah=s. He allowed him to oppose the false prophets and Jezebels= gods.
Elijah wars the power of Jezebels= god Baalim on the mountaintop of mount Carmel. He boldly fought against the prophets of Baal, and the prophets of Ashterah. There were four hundred and fifty and the prophets of the groves, four hundred, which sat at Jezebels= table. After Ahab gathered the prophets together and the people, Elijah said, AHow long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.@ (I Kin. 18: 21).
