19:52he is the god who came into my house in sidon
19:56and would not let it close
20:00and would not let it close
20:00and would not let it close
20:51Is it truly you, my lord Elijah?
20:56After three years, you walk out of the rock, into the middle of my road, as if the whole kingdom
21:03was not turning over every stone to find you.
21:07It is I. Go, tell your lord, Elijah is here.
21:17What have I done to you, that you would hand your servant to Ahab to be killed?
21:22There is no nation, no kingdom, where my king has not sent men to hunt you.
21:28Three years he has scoured the whole earth for the sound of your name.
21:32I have feared the lord since I was a boy.
21:35When that woman began cutting down his prophets, I hid a hundred of them, fifty in one cave and fifty
21:45in another.
21:46If one frightened man in those caves had whispered my name under the lash, it would not have been one
21:51grave, my lord.
21:52It would have been a hundred and one, and mine dug the deepest.
21:56Tell me I did not keep the lord's prophets alive for three years, only to be killed for the lord's
22:01prophet on this road.
22:03I carried them bread and water in the dark, night after night, with the very hands that poured her husband's
22:12wine at noon.
22:17You have not hidden them in vain, Obedia.
22:21Heaven has counted every loaf you carried into the rock.
22:26The same god who kept those hundred alive keeps me until the sun goes down today.
22:32I stand in the presence of the living God of Israel, and 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, tell 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, in a dry riverbed as if you owned the rain.
23:33Is it you?
23:36You, troubler of Israel.
23:44I have not troubled Israel.
23:47You have.
23:50You and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Loy and 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.
24:10The 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.
24:22And then you crawled into a hole for three years and let it kill my people.
24:30You searched three years for the man.
24:35And you never once searched for the sin.
24:40Hear 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 while 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.
25:12You 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 your own mouth shut off?
25:24I would have you stop limping.
25:27You have served two gods for three years, Ahab.
25:31One 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.
25:52So 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 Jezzetal's table.
26:15Bring every voice that has cried Baal's name into this empty sky.
26:20Let the whole kingdom climb that mountain and watch whose god is God.
26:26But if it is the Lord, you will have your reign, Ahab.
26:31Not before.
26:33Four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal's name into this city.
26:48Never leave.
26:53Look for yourself.
26:53I will bring you to the city of Baal.
26:53I will bring you to the city of Baal.
26:54I will bring you to the city of Baal.
26:55I will bring you to the city of Baal.
26:55But it is the king of Baal.
26:58I will bring you to the city of Baal.
27:26I 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.
28:02If 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.
29:43O Baal, Baal, answer us.
29:46Rider of the clouds, lord of the storms, send down the fire.
29:50Show this rabble whose sky this is.
29:52Send the fire, Baal, and let all Israel see.
30:17The morning is yours.
30:33Cry louder.
30:35Surely he is a god.
30:37Perhaps 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, and look, there is not a breath of wind but the one off the sea.
31:08Louder then, and let it cost you something.
31:14Maybe a voice is too cheap for him.
31:17Maybe he only hears what a man pays for.
31:50Come near to me.
31:51Come near to me.
31:58Ready to go.
32:02Let's go.
32:04Come near to me.
32:11Let's go.
32:13Come near to me.
32:15Bye.
32:18Bye.
32:19Bye.
32:20Bye.
32:21Twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob.
32:29Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah.
32:45Bring water.
32:47Four jars filled to the brim and empty them over the wood.
32:54Pour it.
32:56They spent a whole day begging their god to send fire, and could not raise a single spark on dry
33:01wood.
33:03I am going to ask mine to send fire on wood I have drowned.
33:08Pour.
33:15A third time.
33:18Let it be known this day, before all Israel, that the Lord is God in this land, that I am
33:25his servant, and that I have done all this at his word.
33:30Turn this people's heart back to him.
33:47I'm so sorry.
33:48Here it is.
33:48Here it is.
33:50Here it is.
33:53There is everything.
33:55Here it is.
34:12The Lord, he is the God!
34:15The Lord, he is the God!
34:25The fire has spoken, now the water will speak too.
34:36Get up, Ahab, go eat and drink, for there is the sound of an abundance of rain.
34:44There is no cloud, there is no wind but the seas, the 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, do you still weigh the sky by what your
34:57own eyes can find?
35:06Go up higher, and look toward the sea, tell me what you see.
35:14There is nothing my lord, only 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, harness your chariot, and get down this mountain, before the rain shuts
35:36the road on you.
35:44the road on you.
36:01The rain shuts the road on you.
36:32What are you doing here, Elijah?
36:33Elijah, you know what I am doing here.
36:39You brought me here.
36:43Forty 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.
37:39And I still do not know why you would not 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.
38:00And then one woman sent me one line.
38:05Jedabelle 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, the ravens, the widow, the 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.
39:00I 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.
39:11Oh my God.
39:14Oh my God.
39:40Uhh...
39:41hate me.
39:41Oh, my God.
40:26Oh, 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.
40:56And 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.
