N o one was more respected, more feared, or more significant to
the ancient Jews than those who stood before the people as
God s prophets. When the prophet spoke, the people listened. Their
words had impact, like bullets spinning out of a rifle, drilling their
way into the heart. Prophets had clout! They weren t always appre-
ciated, but they were seldom ignored.
And no one can deny that Elijah was one of the greatest. He
was God s lightning during the dark days under Ahab and Jezebel s
rule. Suddenly he appeared . . . and almost as mysteriously he dis-
appeared into the sky. But sandwiched between his entrance and
his exit, Elijah left an indelible mark etched upon his times.
In no way, however, should we think of him as superhuman.
One of the New Testament writers states, "Elijah was a man with
a nature like ours..." (James 5:17). Again and again we ll identify
with his humanity, which (hopefully) will encourage us throughout
these biographical snapshots.
Let s listen and learn. Elijah s life and times are as relevant to
this generation as those whose names appear in today s newspaper.
Perhaps more so!
