Jump to Previous Burnt-Offering Fill Four Jars Ordered Pour Second Third Time Water WoodJump to Next Burnt-Offering Fill Four Jars Ordered Pour Second Third Time Water Wood1 Kings 18 1. In the extremity of famine Elijah, sent to Ahab, meets good Obadiah9. Obadiah brings Ahab to Elijah 17. Elijah, reproving Ahab, by fire from heaven convinces Baal's prophets 41. Elijah, by prayer obtaining rain, follows Ahab to Jezreel and said, “Fill four waterpots and pour the water on the offering and on the wood.” In the context of 1 Kings 18, Elijah is confronting the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. The use of water in this scene is significant, especially during a time of severe drought in Israel, as described earlier in 1 Kings 17. The act of pouring water on the offering and wood emphasizes the miraculous nature of the impending divine intervention, as it would be impossible for a water-soaked sacrifice to ignite naturally. This act also symbolizes purification and dedication, as water is often used for cleansing in biblical rituals. The number four, represented by the four waterpots, can symbolize completeness or universality in biblical numerology, suggesting the totality of God's power over creation. “Do it a second time,” he said, and they did it a second time. “Do it a third time,” he said, and they did it a third time. Persons / Places / Events 1. ElijahA prophet of God who played a crucial role in demonstrating God's power over the false god Baal. He orchestrated the events on Mount Carmel to prove the sovereignty of the Lord. 2. Mount Carmel The location where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. It was a significant site for this dramatic demonstration of God's power. 3. Prophets of Baal The false prophets who served the Canaanite god Baal. They were challenged by Elijah to prove the power of their god. 4. The Altar The altar built by Elijah to offer a sacrifice to God. It was drenched with water to emphasize the miraculous nature of God's impending response. 5. The Israelites The people of Israel who were present to witness the contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Their faith was wavering, and this event was meant to turn their hearts back to God. Teaching Points Faith in ActionElijah's command to drench the altar with water demonstrates his unwavering faith in God's power. We are called to trust God even when circumstances seem impossible. God's Sovereignty The event underscores God's supremacy over false gods. In our lives, we must recognize and submit to God's ultimate authority. Public Witness Elijah's actions were a public demonstration of faith. We are encouraged to live out our faith openly, serving as witnesses to God's power and love. Preparation for God's Work Just as Elijah prepared the altar, we must prepare our hearts and lives for God to work through us. Persistence in Prayer Elijah's repeated actions symbolize persistence. We should be persistent in prayer and faith, trusting in God's timing and methods.Verse 34. - And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. [Heb.
