The story of the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah is more easily understood with this week’s overview of events and their political and geographical context. The actions of Elijah take on new meaning once we understand what the people believed about the god Ba’al he was confronting. We also learn his ministry is patterned after that of Moses which explains why the two later appear together with Jesus on the Mt. of Transfiguration.

This episode complements the daily readings from our Walk Thru the Bible reading plan for July 5-11, covering 1 Kings 17-22; 2 Kings 1-8; Obadiah.
