After the prophets of Baal could not call fire from heaven, Elijah took his turn. He soaked the altar of The Lord with water and prayed to God. The fire fell from the sky and consumed the altar, wood, rocks and water. The people proclaimed The Lord as God and the false prophets were slain. Many times God seems to soak our lives with the water of impossibility before He does a mighty work. The fire of Elijah stands a warning to all mankind, that in these last days God is speaking through His Son Jesus. Jesus will one judge the world in righteousness when fire again falls from the heavens and consumes those who deny the gospel.
