He silenced the rain over a king. He called down fire in front of eight hundred and fifty men.
And then he sat down under a tree in the desert and asked God to take his life.
This is the complete story of Elijah — from the throne room of Ahab to the mouth of a cave on
Mount Horeb, where the God who answers by fire finally spoke in a whisper.
A cinematic Bible film. 42 minutes. Every word of the story, told in full.

Elijah appears out of nowhere in the book of 1 Kings — no genealogy, no introduction — and tells
the most powerful man in Israel that it will not rain again until he says so. What follows is
three years of drought, a widow's last meal, a dead boy, a mountain of fire, and a man so
emptied by his own victory that he walks into the wilderness to die.
The part almost no one tells is what happened next. God sent a wind that tore the mountain apart.
He sent an earthquake. He sent fire. And He was in none of them.

02:00listen to them three years I have given this people everything a king can give what more
02:08does a God want from a king than a full belly for his people
02:16nothing Baal asks nothing but a whole kingdom and no other name spoken in it
02:23that is why the hills still whisper Ihab because you left a door open
02:30a door you mean the prophets I mean the prophets a hundred fled this moon alone
02:40someone feeds them
02:44someone inside these walls opens the granary at night
02:48find me that hand husband I did not cross the sea to share a sky
02:53find me that way
02:54you
02:55you
02:55you
02:55you
03:00you
03:01you
03:09you
03:22you
03:25you
03:30who are you
03:32who brings this desert beggar before the throne of Israel
03:36I have stood in the court of the king of heaven tonight
03:41I did not come to your gate for your leave Ahab
03:45I came by his word
03:49look at what you have built Ahab
03:52a house of ivory over a land of mud
03:56a thing your wife carried in her baggage like a knife
04:02guard your tongue old man
04:05you stand in my hall
04:08I stand in the hall of a man who is afraid of his own wife
04:13and calls it peace
04:32so you are the hand the little prophet who lived what is the name of the god you would set
04:39against mine
04:42he has no image you can carry
04:45you say Baal gives the rain then let him give it
04:48let him thunder
04:49I will wait
04:52hear me Ahab
04:55and hear the god you have forgotten
05:04I stand tonight in the presence of the living god of Israel and I speak his word to you
05:10there shall be neither dew nor rain these years
05:13but according to my word
05:19not one drop of mist on a single leaf
05:22now count the days Ahab
05:25count them in the dust that gathers on your feet
05:31seize him
05:32guards
05:33take him
05:34take
05:35take him
05:35take him
06:2350 days east of the Jordan
06:25in a crack in the earth.
06:29He told me to come, and I came.
06:33He told me to hide, and I hid.
06:42I sealed the sky with my own mouth, and you send me to the last thread of water in a
06:48dying
06:48land.
06:50And even here it runs thinner each morning.
07:21I did not send you to the green country, Elijah.
07:23Look, and watch what I do with the birds.
07:25Look, and watch what I do with the birds.
07:26Look, and watch what I do with the birds.
07:55Ravens, of all the birds under heaven, he sends me ravens, the thief of the air.
08:03He did not make the raven gentle.
08:05He made it obey.
08:08That is the harder thing.
08:18If the Lord can make a raven deny its own hunger, he can keep one stubborn old man alive at
08:25the
08:26bottom of a ditch.
08:28So be it.
08:29I will wait.
08:57There it is.
08:58The last of the water.
09:01The sky I shut is closed over me too.
09:06There is no ditch far enough east to hide a man from his own word.
09:14You understand more than you did fifty days ago.
09:18The brook is dry because I have somewhere better to feed you.
09:22Arise and go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there.
09:27Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.
09:36Zarephath, Sidon, you dry up my brook and send me to drink from the land that wants me dead, Jedabal's
09:44own country, and a widow, you say, to feed your prophet.
09:50I have never once understood you, and you have never once been wrong.
09:57So I will go.
09:58A god who can shut a raven's hunger and open a widow's hand only needs me to walk.
10:26A god who can shut a raven's hunger and open a widow's hand only needs me to walk.
10:55I have no bread baked, my lord, only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in
11:03a crisp.
11:04See, I am gathering two sticks to go and prepare it for me and my son, that we may eat
11:09it.
11:09Fear not.
11:10Go and do as you have said, but make me a little cake of it first and bring it to
11:15me.
11:16For thus says the God of Israel, the jar of meal shall not be spent, nor the crisp of oil
11:21fail, till the day the Lord sends rain upon the earth.
11:25You ask the first mouthful from my son's last meal.
11:29Israel, he is inside that house behind me, waiting for it, and the first word out of your mouth is
11:34give.
11:36Give water.
11:38Give bread.
11:39I do not know your God.
11:42He is not the God of this land.
11:46This is Sidon, the coast of Bahal, and Bahal has starved us the same as your Israel.
11:54I am not asking you to feed a beggar, woman.
11:58I am asking you to trust the God who sent me to your gate.
12:04You think I chose this door?
12:08I am a hunted man.
12:11There is a queen who would give a province for my head, and that queen was born in this land,
12:18in Sidon, your Sidon.
12:23Of all the doors in all the world, the God of Israel sent his prophet to hers, to a starving
12:30widow on the coast of Bahal.
12:32Well, ask yourself why.
12:38Words.
12:39The priests of Bahal had words, too.
12:42Every festival, every drought, give to the God, and the God gives back.
12:47I gave.
12:49My husband gave, too.
12:51Until the fever took him.
12:53Then stop giving to a God who only takes.
12:57I am telling you the opposite.
12:59Feed your son first.
13:02Tip the jar.
13:04And count what is left in your hand when you think it is empty.
13:09Come, then.
13:12There is a room over my stairs.
13:15My husband built it for a guest we never had.
13:18It is yours.
13:20For as long as the sky stays shut.
13:31Mother, did you bring the fire?
13:36I brought a guest, Hiram.
13:42Is he going to eat with us?
13:44He eats first, Hiram.
13:46Then you.
13:47Then me.
13:48That is what I have agreed.
13:51Why?
13:52Because he says his God will fill the jar.
13:56And I have nothing left to lose by pouring.
14:04Mother, it's still coming.
14:06I felt the bottom of it this morning.
14:09With my own hand, there was nothing.
14:12And now it does not end.
14:15It will not end, woman.
14:17Not while the drought lasts.
14:21You asked why he sent me to your door.
14:24Now you have your answer.
14:29The God of Israel keeps a fuller table here.
14:33in one poor house in Sidon
14:37than Bahal keeps in all his temples.
14:44Eat.
14:45And give your son to eat.
14:47And tomorrow, pour again.
14:51And the morning after that.
14:53Every morning.
14:54Until the day the rain comes back.
14:57Every morning.
15:00Every morning.
15:10Thirty mornings I have poured from that jar.
15:14Thirty.
15:15I stopped counting the days of the drought
15:17and started counting the days of the bread.
15:23Mother says a bird brought you bread.
15:25Is that true?
15:29Ravens, Hiram.
15:32They brought me bread in a ditch.
15:35Until the water ran out.
15:37And then he sent you here.
15:43And then he sent me here.
15:53He has not kept down a mouthful in three days.
15:57It smells like morning.
15:59Eat it for me, Hiram.
16:01Just the corner of it.
16:04I don't want it, Mother.
16:08Mother.
16:09I'm cold.
16:11You are not cold, Hiram.
16:14You are burning.
16:17It is the fever.
16:19It is the same fever.
16:21Hiram.
16:23Hiram, wake up.
16:26He does not wake.
16:28He does not wake.
16:29He does not wake.
16:29There is no breath left in him.
16:35The child is gone from us, woman.
16:40Do not say us.
16:42What have I to do with you, oh man of God?
16:46You, in my house,
16:48eating my endless bread at my endless table.
16:50Is this the rent your God charges for it?
16:53Thirty mornings your God fed him.
16:56He let me watch his face face fill out.
16:59He let me hear him laugh again.
17:02He let me forget.
17:04And then he came in the night.
17:07Was that the fuller table you praised, Prophet?
17:10A fuller table in Sidon?
17:13Take your miracle back.
17:15Take your jar and your oil.
17:17I would rather have had nothing
17:19and had him.
17:23Give me your son.
17:25I will carry him up to the room you gave me.
17:28And I will not come down till God has answered me.
17:32Give him to me.
17:57Why this house, Lord?
17:59Why this one of all the widows in the world?
18:04The one who took me in,
18:06in the land of my enemy,
18:09when your own Israel would have sold me.
18:12She had nothing.
18:14She gave me her last,
18:16and she gave it first.
18:18Is this how the kindness is paid back?
18:22Tell me that,
18:23and I will carry it down those stairs
18:25and call it good.
18:27I stood before kings for you.
18:29I sealed the heavens at your word.
18:31Lord, I never understood one step of it.
18:35I am not asking now, Lord.
18:37I am holding on.
18:39Give the child back.
18:45I do not know how to say your name,
18:47but if you are what he says you are,
18:50you are in this house.
18:52You have been eating at my table.
18:55Do not do this to me.
19:06Oh, Lord, my God.
19:08Let the breath come into this child again.
19:12Let him open his eyes.
19:14Let him hear his mother's voice.
19:26He breathes.
19:28He breathes.
19:30He breathes.
19:33See?
19:34Your son lives.
19:41Now I know that you are a man of God
19:43And that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth
19:47I called your God the God of another land
19:50He is not
19:52He is the God who came into my house in Sidon
19:57And would not let it close
20:22He is the God of another land
20:51Is it truly you?
20:54My Lord Elijah?
20:56After three years
20:58You walk out of the rock
21:00Into the middle of my road
21:02As if the whole kingdom was not turning over
21:04Every stone to find you
21:07It is I
21:09Go
21:10Tell your Lord
21:12Elijah is here
21:17What have I done to you
21:18That you would hand your servant to Ahab to be killed?
21:22There is no nation
21:23No kingdom
21:24Where my king has not sent men to hunt you
21:28Three years
21:28He has scoured the whole earth for the sound of your name
21:32I have feared the Lord since I was a boy
21:36When that woman began cutting down his prophets
21:39I hid a hundred of them
21:43Fifty in one cave
21:44And fifty in another
21:46If one frightened man in those caves had whispered my name under the lash
21:50It would not have been one grave, my Lord
21:52It would have been a hundred and one
21:54And mine dug the deepest
21:56Tell me I did not keep the Lord's prophets alive for three years
21:59Only to be killed for the Lord's prophet on this road
22:03I carried them bread and water in the dark
22:06Night after night
22:09With the very hands that poured her husband's wine at noon
22:17You have not hidden them in vain, Obediah
22:21Heaven has counted every loaf you carried into the rock
22:26The same God who kept those hundred alive
22:29Keeps me until the sun goes down today
22:32I stand in the presence of the living God of Israel
22:36And I speak his word
22:39I will show myself to Ahab this very day
22:43I will not flee
22:45I will not vanish
22:47Go and bring him
22:49And when he asks who sent for him
22:52Tell him it was the drought
22:54Come at last to speak with the man who called it Baals
23:19So it is you
23:22Three years I turn over every well from Dan to the sea
23:26And here you stand
23:28In a dry riverbed as if you owned the rain
23:33Is it you?
23:36You troubler of Israel
23:39I have not troubled Israel
23:46You have
23:49You
23:50And your father's house
23:53In that you have forsaken the commandments of the Loy
23:56And follow the Baals
23:59I troubled Israel
24:03Cattle rotting in the beds where rivers ran
24:07Mothers grinding the last of the seed corn
24:09The young and the old alike going down into the dust
24:14And you tell me the fault is mine
24:18You sealed the sky with your own mouth
24:23And then you crawled into a hole for three years
24:26And let it kill my people
24:30You searched three years for the man
24:35And you never once searched for the sin
24:39Hear me, Ahad
24:44Your priests have burned offerings to Baal on every high place
24:48And the rain did not come
24:51Your wife has filled four hundred tables in his name
24:54While your people ate dust
24:56You tore down the altars of the living God
24:59This drought is not my curse upon Israel
25:02It is Israel's own debt
25:04Come due at last
25:06And paid back into Israel's own dust
25:09I only spoke the words
25:11You and your house wrote every one of them
25:14Then what would you have me do?
25:18Beg a God I cannot see to send the rain
25:21Your own mouth shut off?
25:24I would have you stop limping
25:27You have served two gods for three years, Ahab
25:30One knee bent to each
25:33And the sky has answered neither
25:37It is time the whole land saw which one is God
25:42Not in a temple, where men can lie
25:45Under the open heaven, where only fire can speak
25:53So this is what you will do
25:56Send word through all Israel
25:59Gather every soul to me at Mount Camerlil
26:02Let no man stay in his house
26:08Bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal
26:11And the four hundred who eat at Jezedel's table
26:15Bring every voice that has cried Baal's name into this empty sky
26:20Let the whole kingdom climb that mountain
26:23And watch whose God is God
26:26But if it is the Lord
26:28You will have your reign, Ahab
26:30Not before
26:32Despini
26:34No
26:36I
26:45Shall
26:46Let case
26:48You
26:49Let
26:49Let
26:53You
26:55You
26:55You
26:56You
26:58You
27:01I don't know.
27:35How long will you go on limping between two opinions?
27:48You want the sky of the Lord and the altars of Baal at the same time.
27:54One knee to each heaven.
27:57A prayer in each hand.
27:59So choose.
28:01If the Lord is God, follow him.
28:05But if Baal is God, follow him and be done with it.
28:10Only stop limping between the two.
28:15I am the only prophet of the Lord left standing in all Israel.
28:22One man.
28:25Baal's prophets are 450.
28:28Let two bulls be brought.
28:31Let them choose one for themselves.
28:34And make it ready upon the wood and put no fire under it.
28:39And I will make the other ready in the same way.
28:46You will call on the name of your God and I will call on the name of the Lord.
28:51And the God who answers by fire, that one and no other, let him be God.
28:56It is well spoken.
28:59Let the God who answers by fire be God.
29:12You are many and I am one.
29:16So choose your bull first and call first.
29:19The morning is yours.
29:43Oh, Baal, Baal, answer us.
29:46Rider of the clouds, lord of the storm, send down the fire.
29:50Show this rabble whose sky this is.
29:52Send the fire, Baal, and let all Israel see.
30:33Cry louder.
30:35Surely he is a God.
30:38Perhaps he is deep in thought and must not be disturbed.
30:42Or perhaps your great God is simply asleep.
30:49So wake him.
30:51Shout into his ear.
30:53He rides the clouds, but there is not a cloud in the sky today.
30:58He rules the storm.
31:00And look, there is not a breath of wind but the one off the sea.
31:08Louder, then.
31:10And let it cost you something.
31:14Maybe a voice is too cheap for him.
31:17Maybe he only hears what a man pays for.
31:48Come on.
31:50Come near to me
32:21Twelve stones
32:23According to the number of the tribes
32:26Of the sons of Jacob
32:29Reuben
32:30Simeon
32:31Levi
32:32Judah
32:45Bring water
32:46Four jars filled to the brim
32:49And empty them over the wood
32:54Pour it
32:56They spent a whole day
32:57Begging their god to send fire
32:59And could not raise a single spark
33:01On dry wood
33:03I am going to ask mine to send fire
33:05On wood I have drowned
33:08Pour
33:15A third time
33:18Let it be known this day
33:20Before all Israel
33:22That the Lord is God in this land
33:24That I am his servant
33:26And that I have done all this at his word
33:30Turn this people's heart back to him
33:36You must be a bad neighbor
33:37Of the�� almudi
33:37I am the castle
33:37I am the man
33:37Oh man
33:50I am the one
33:51Oh man
34:02Look at that
34:12The Lord, he is the God!
34:15The Lord, he is the God!
34:24The fire has spoken.
34:28Now the water will speak too.
34:36Get up, Ahab.
34:39Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of an abundance of rain.
34:44There is no cloud.
34:45There is no wind but the seas.
34:47The sky is shut, Prophet.
34:49I shut it with a word, and with a word it opens again.
34:52You just saw fire fall on soaked wood, Ahab.
34:55Do you still weigh the sky by what your own eyes can find?
35:06Go up higher, and look toward the sea.
35:09Tell me what you see.
35:14There is nothing, my lord.
35:16Only the sea, and the sun going down into it.
35:21Go again.
35:23There, there rises a little cloud out of the sea, no bigger than a man's hand.
35:30Go, run, tell Ahak.
35:33Harness your chariot, and get down this mountain, before the rain shuts the road on you.
35:37There, there, there it is nothing of a beast.
35:41And it appears to me, try to ordinance the whole do you see on fire grow up in front,
35:43but you just need us to see on fire, doesn't get as much the dust?
35:55As you can, I think our tree is ready to conditions,
35:57and we don't go mad, and as you can see on fire.
35:58Okay, let's go to the forest
35:59so we're walnuts and hay.
36:00Yeah.
36:06So what I like, anyway,
36:32What are you doing here, Elijah?
36:33Elijah, you know what I am doing here.
36:39You brought me here.
36:42Forty days I have walked.
36:46Forty days and forty nights on the strength of a single meal an angel put in my hands under
36:53a broom tree in the wilderness.
36:58Because I had lain down under that tree and begged you to let me die.
37:03Do you remember?
37:05I asked you to take my life.
37:09It is enough, Lord, I said.
37:12I am no better than my fathers.
37:15And instead of the grave, you sent bread.
37:21Twice.
37:22A cake baked on the coals and a jar of water, and a hand on my shoulder.
37:29Rise and eat.
37:30The journey is too great for you.
37:34I walked to the mountain where you gave Moses the law, and I still do not know why you would
37:41not let me sleep.
37:47You want to know what I am doing here?
37:51I am running.
37:53I, who shut the sky over Aham's hall and faced eight hundred and fifty knives on camel.
37:59And then one woman sent me one line.
38:05Jedabel swore by her dead gods that by tomorrow I would be as one of her prophets.
38:13And the man who called fire down from heaven gathered his robe up in both fists and ran.
38:22Ran with his skirts in his hands, like a beggar caught out in the open.
38:27A day into the desert I sat down under that broom tree and I meant every word.
38:35Enough.
38:36Take back the years.
38:38The ravens.
38:39The widow.
38:40The fire.
38:42I cannot carry it one more mile.
38:47I have been jealous for you, Lord God of hosts.
38:51Israel has forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets.
38:59I am the only one left, and they are hunting me.
39:04Leave this cave, Elijah.
39:06Come up onto the open mountain and wait there, for I am passing this way.
39:41I am the only one who has been in the open mountain.
39:41Oh, my God.
40:39Oh, my God.
40:41What are you doing here, Elijah?
40:44I am the only one left, and they are hunting me.
40:51Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus.
40:57And when you come, you will anoint Hazael to be king over Aram.
41:02And Jahu, the son of Nimshi, you will anoint to be king over Israel.
41:07And Elisha, the son of Shaphat, of Abel-Mehola, you will anoint to be prophet in your place.
41:14You are not the end of anything, Elijah.
41:17You are one link in a chain older than you and longer than you.
41:22You said you are the only one left.
41:25You are wrong.
41:26I have kept for myself 7,000 in Israel.
41:317,000 in Israel who never bowed the knee to Baal and never once bent to kiss his stone.
41:39You have never been alone, my prophet.
41:42You only felt alone.
41:45Now lift up your face and rise and go.
42:00There is a young man plowing a field who does not yet know your name.
42:04And he is waiting for a mantle he has never seen.
42:07You are the only one left.
