HUNEYCUTT Pastor Black Mountain First Baptist Church. May 9. 1954. ELIJAH CHALLENGES BAAL WORSHIP I Kings 17:1; 17-24, 37-39. Last Sunday we studied the events which took place during the reign of Jereboam king of Israel. There were six rulers betwen last Sunday’s lesson and the lesson for next Sunday covering a period of about forty years. Omri, the fifth king from Jereboam, reigned 12 years and accomplished many things that were good. Ahab, his son, succeeded him and he is known as the husband of Jezebel, since she was the dominating influence in his life. In this lesson we are concerned with Elijah, the fearless prophet of the country, and especially the way he dealt with Baal worship. I. The Problem. One should understand that the basic problem Elijah faced was Baal worship, and this problem was acute at this period in Hebrew history because it had gained the sanction of the king. Ahab’s queen, Jezebel, was the daughter of Ethbaal who had once been a priest of the Phoenician goddess Astarte. Jezebel inherited much of the spirit of her father and ac quired unbounded influence over her weak-minded husband and made him a mere puppet in her hands. She saw to it that 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Astarte were supported at the queen's table. She persecuted the prophets of Jehovah God until it became necessary that some Be concealed in caves in order to sur vive. What made Baal worship a problem in connection with the worship of Jehovah God? Why did Baal worship appeal to so many Israelites and become a threat to the Hebrew’s God? It is necessary to look at the nature of Baal wor ship to understand why Jehovah God's worship was threatened. There were many types of Baal worship in Hebrew history, but the worst type of Baal worship was introduced by Jezebel. Ordi narily offerings of incense and burnt sacrifices were made to Baal, but on extraordinary occa sions human sacrifices were made. The priests worked themselves up into a state of ecstasy at times and dancing around the altar they fre quently cut themselves with knives. The female consort of Baal was Astarte. At her shrines prostitu tion was licensed and in some in stance female chastity was sacri ficed. This type of worship ap pealed to the lustful nature of peo ple and many followed the path of undisciplined living. II. The Prophet’s Challenge. In this crisis of Israelitish his tory, as sudden as the flash of lightening and as alarming as thunder, there appeared a man from the uplands across the Jordan by the name of Elijah. We know nothing of his origin and there is no announcement of his coming, but suddenly he appears before the king to make an announcement. He announced to king Ahab that there would be no rain upon the earth for three years. The king's court must have had fun laugh ing at the crazy prophet, but as time went on and the drought be gan to touch the people’s lives they took the prophet more ser iously. The entire nation became desperate for water and the king sent out expeditions to seek for water for the animals lest they all die. Suddenly again Elijah met Ahab in the wilderness and denounced his idolatries. And this time Ahab was willing to listen. Elijah de cided that Baal worship had gone too far and it was time to chal lenge the people to take a stand. Elijah challenges Ahab to summon the prophets of Baal and Astarte to a contest on Carmel. Ahab was afraid to disobey the prophet, so the prophets of Baal and Astarte along with a great concourse of people repaired to a peak on Car mel. III. The Showdown. This was the great day of crisis for the ten tribes of Israel. Elijah faced the people and said, ‘'How long halt ye between two opin ions?” That is the same idea which we use for the term "Pussy foot.” The person who is first on one foot and then the other is a “pussy-footer.” Elijah said, “If the Lord be God, follow Him; but if Baal, then follow' him.” The most important thing is to make up your mind what you are going to do about serving God or Baal. Elijah is saying. The prophet proposed that the prophets of Baal take two bullocks and prepare the altar and place the 'bullocks upon the altar. Then, they were to pray to Baal to de stroy the sacrifice with fire. Af terward Elijah would call upon the Lord and the God who answered by fire would be the true God. The , nf Baal were forced to rXt hi" proposal because they "tre on the spot before the peo ple. The prophets of Baal cne all day long for an answer ih cried and danced around the a ta, and cut themselves «ith ^ but nothing; happened. Klijah mocked them and made fun "Then Klijah prepared the altar hp canu. forward and utteied a short prayer. He said, “Hear me 0 Lord, hear me that this peop may know that thou art the Lord God. and that thou hast turn d their hearts back again. Fire 1' upon the sacrifice and consumed the bullocks, the wood, the stones, the dust, and even licked up th water in the trench about the al tar And now listen to the response f the people. When the people aw this happen, they fell on their aces and they said, “The Lord, He 3 the God; the Lord He is he lod ” The contest ends with tni -eople exclaiming that the God f the Hebrews is the only Go. there is. A Thought On the Lesson. Our idolatry is not Baal wor ship today, but there are other little gods too numerous to men tion which have usurped the place of Almighty God in many lives. L I had to mention the god which causes us more trouble than an.' other it would be the little god self. We are either worshipping the true God or we are making gods out of ourselves and falling down and worshipping them. The big trouble with our world is that there are too many people who thinks they are gods and they are worshipping themselves. I CHURCH NOTICES ST.
