ELIJAH THE TTSHBITE?I
Kings, 17.1-24.
Golden text?But seek ye first
His kingdom and His righteous
ness. and all these things shall
be added unto you.?Matt, 6.33.
BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON.
Emerson say* that "God onoe In a
hundred years or so creates a great
man and then breaks that mold for
ever." Elijah, the Tlshblte, who sud
denly and abruptly appeared In the
palaeo of the King of Israel, was one
of God's great men. No other man
Impressed himself upon the history of
the Hebrew people as the rugged
prophet, who surprised Ahab by his
llghtnlng-llko appearance and by his
bold message predicting the coming
of a famine that would last for three
and a half years. Immediately he dis
appeared after having revealed the
secret of his courage and the source
of his startling prophecy. His name,
made up of the two Hebrew words
for deity, meaning that Jehovah Is
my God, indicates the power of this
rugged mountaineer, who had ob
served the nation's danger and re
sponded to the call of God to stand
for righteousness in the presence of
the corrupt court.
It was a crisis in the history of the
nation when he left the life of a
shepherd on the hills of Gllead and
started upon his glorious record as a
prophet of God. During the sixty
years that had passed since the re
volt of Jeroboam Israel had been po
mg upon the downward grade. Its
history had been a sad record of ter
ror, assassination, suicide and civil
war, due to the practice of Idolatrous
worship during the reign of eight
kings, who represented Ave dynasties.
Ahab, who had succeeded his father
Omri, restored peaoe. He promoted
internal prosperity and opened up
commercial relations with other na
tions. He followed his suocess as a
military leader by extensive building
operations that encouraged liberal
arts and gTatlfled the tastes of the
court and nobility for splendor and
luxury to an unheard-of extent. While
there had been a development of po
litical power and social life, there
had been a. continuous and rapid re
generacy which almost destroyed the
old faith.
The low level of the spiritual life
of the nation can be traced to the
alliance which Ahab made with the
King of Zidon. It resulted in his
marriage to Jezebel, one of the
wickedest women of the world. Ahab
was like many modern soldiers and ser
vants of the state who len .lit tedious
life and love of their households to
their wives, whose labors for carlsi
and charity have Oiled many of them
with Joy even when the checks have
been large. The influence 01 Jeaeoei
resulted In Ahab's becoming a moral
degenerate. In the hands of the am
bitious and unscrupulous queen he
became her tool In introducing the
worship of Baal, who was the god of
agriculture. The ceremonies at the
so-called temples of Jehovah, who
had guided Israel during their no
madic life in the wilderness, and
those of Baal became very similar.
The deification of lust in the worship
of Astoreth under governmental ap
proval spread rapidly over the nation
like a moral pcstilenoe.
The prophets who had dared to
lift up their voices agains the sins
of the court and country were
hunted down and slain because of
the fanatical opposition of Jezebel
to the worship of Jehovah. During
the revolt of Jeroboam and before
the prophets had been the only pro
gressive religious leaders in both the
north and south. The priests of the
sanctuaries of Judah and Israel were
conservative as a class. It was
the voice of the prophets, whose
championship of the rights of the
people had prepared the way for the
division and they alone were the
champions of freedom and leaders
against all forms of autocratic pow
er. This had made them unpopular
with the militaristic parties, who had
no sympathy with the prophets' re
ligious ideals, which curbed their au
thority. The prophets refused to be
come subject to their control. The
military leaders sympathized with
? Jezebel In her efforts to crush the
| prophets' power and voice.
I it was at this hour that Elijah
i courageously stepped into the public
arena. His picturesque appearance,
clad in a simple tunic and with a
sheepskin mantle "tied around him,"
as is still the custom of the poorest,
! by a leathern girdle or belt, and fast
ened. it is likely, with the thorn of
some desert shrub, "made the king
think of him as a fanatic." But when
after several months had passed witn
* out any sea mists or rain, then the
1 drought with its attended famine re
vealed to all thinking men that the
nation was being divinely punished
In accordance with the prediction of
Elijah, who had disappeared as mys
teriously, as he had appeared. Jeze
bel who started the first religious
persecution in history, could not find
tlHePhadhl'eft his work In Israel and
In response to the word of God had
hid In the brook Cherlth. The heroic
soul did not enjoy the solitude of
the lonely ravine, but it was the or
ders of Jehovah. He obeyed the Di
vine command and while hiding in
one of the many caverns that can be
found In the dark and deep cut gorges
of Palestine, Elijah was protected
from the hostile searching parties and
fed by the providence of the ever
living God. While we cannot Identify
the exact location of the brook Che
rith yet the characteristics of a lime
stone gorge are familiar to many,
who have not seen any of the several
possible ravines, like the one that
the traveler passes upon his way from
Jerusalem to Jericho and the Jordan.
A Greek monastery marks the tradi
tional place. There, men, who are to
be punished are sent by their eccle
siastic superiors. It was not punish
ment for the prophet to be alone, for

the spirit of Elijah had com* to un
derstand God In the solitude of ths
desert. It waa the Inactivity that
forced him to truat God's keeping
care, that made his daya at Cherith
hard for the prophet.
It ia evident that the sacred writer
desired to Impress upon all the
miraculous manner In which Jehovah
provided food and water for His
prophet beside the dwindling stream
of Cherlth. Elijah lived by faith in
that ravine, whether it was the un
clean birds of the air. or the Ara
bians, or Orbites, or merchants, or
people of the rock Oreb, who were
the Instruments In the hands of fhe
Lord to provide for him. There has
been much discussion as to whether
the original Hebrew text translated
ravens ought not to have been either
one of the four Just mentioned be
cause the alight change of a dot In
the vowel sounds, which were not
added to the text, until after the
Massoretlc invention of the signs of
the vowels, would suggest such read
ings, but either of these charges
would not destroy the miraculous care
of God for His own. Elijah had to
learn to trust Jehovah when his pre
dictions were being fulfilled. One can
never understand the possibilities of
His power, unless he has been forced
to depend upon God when there was a
dwindling of resources. The prophet
had to learn to trust God when he
was experiencing the scourge of fam
ine. His own lips panted for the
water. He was compelled to suffer by
his efforts to save the nation.
Elijah could not understand the
ways of Providence. He did not see
the hand of Providence fitting him
for coming battles. Alone with God
at Cherith. he was being fitted with
spiritual strength for difficult days
and dangerous hours of conflict. He
understood it after he was sent Into
the land of Jezebel's early days.
There amid the darkness of idolatry
the Lord had a poor, lone widow,
whose faith in Jehovah was so great
that she shared the last meal that
she was cooking with Elijah. The
prophet needed faith to expect aid
at the hands of a heathen, when
every hand was against him In Israel.
The hunted outlaw knew that no one
in Israel dared to share their home
with him. since a price had been
placed upon his head. He did not
Question that God would provide the
widow, as He had provided the ravens
to feed him at Cherith. so. with un
daunted faith, he started for Zere
phath. in the land of Sidon. Every
step of the way was full of danger,
but the prophet moved rapidly, pos
sibly at night and by shepherds' trails
over the hills, rather than along the
public roads of travel and commerce.
It is difficult for us to understand
In our land of plenty fli" horr"rs and
suffering of famine. The story of
his meeting with the poor widow, as
she gathered the firewood In the
fields, so as to cook her last meal
before she and her son faced the end
is full of pathos and beauty. When
the gaunt, hungry, weary man ap
proached her and asked for water,
the widow did not know that he was
a prophet sent by Jehovah to win
her for Him and bless her poor home.
The request brought a quick answer,
for she saw his need. The poor are
always ready to share with one an
other. When he asked for food, there
came the story of her need. This
enabled the prophet to understand
some of the reasons for the days he
had spent at Cherith learning de
pendance upon God, for he imme
i diately put her to the test.
I The poor widow must have recog
nized that he needed the food more
than she did. for she responded to
I his request, giving him, as she
thought, all that she had. her last
j meal. Possibly, she heard the silent
voice of God suggesting that she do
I this noble and generous deed. Her
i courageous faith arose and accepted
j the promise of Elijah, that Jehovah
: would supply her needs if she put
first the needs of His servant. Won
derful was her faith. More wonder
ful was her reward. It provided for
her and her household a supply of
oil and meal during the balance of
the famine, which possibly lasted two
years longer. It resulted in saving
of her son, when she thought that
he was being taken from her as a
punishment for her sin. The
prophet's prayer restored the boy to
his widowed mother. This resulted
in her conversion and that of her
son. While she and her lad were
won for Jehovah, Elijah learned that
God's love and sympathy was not
limited to any race. Both were
taught the meaning of the golden
text. "Seek ve first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
The secret of success can be learned
bv all that obey His word and do
His will in trying to do first what He
calls upon us to do individually for
Him. We can leave the results with
Him if we seek to live a life of self
denial and self-surrender for His
glory, confident that He will Rive us
victory.
