Show Notes

Despite being associated with the worship of the pagan deity Baal, Zarephath became the place where God led Elijah during the drought. This decision served multiple purposes and carried significant lessons. By taking Elijah to Zarephath, God tested Elijah's faith and reliance on Him, teaching him to trust in God's provision even in the midst of scarcity. It also demonstrated God's power and sovereignty by providing for Elijah's needs through an impoverished widow. Moreover, it revealed God's inclusive love for all people and His intention to bring salvation to the nations.

 

While not an exact parallel, Elijah's experience in Zarephath offers glimpses of God's redemptive plan, similar to the ministry of Jesus. We explore some of these parallels.

 

From Zarephath, God brought Elijah to the top of Mt. Carmel. We explore the significance of mountains as a symbol in the Bible.
