This term we’re going to be looking at two great prophets of the Old Testament – Elijah & Elisha. When they lived it was a really difficult time to be a prophet of God. Ahab and his sons were ruling and Jezebel was queen and queen mother. And they were the worst rulers in Israel’s history as they turned people away from God, wanted people to worship the false-god Baal and were killing the prophets of God. For Elijah and Elisha it was a really difficult time to stand out for God.
But throughout this term we’ll see that God was still in control, He was the one true God. God was in control of the rain, death, nature and even kings and armies. Ultimately God would remove Ahab, Jezebel and their family from the throne and give it to someone else. Even when it seemed like God was far away He was still working, He was still in control.
