#8 Elijah and Jezebel - a podcast by Has it crossed your mind?

This episode we look at the old testament prophet Elijah and queen Jezebel in their conflict of devotion to the God of Israel and the false gods. We cover themes of tyranny, idology(the belief in idol worship) and look at how God works through his people.

Elijah was a prophet. A man that spoke for God. His job was to bring the people of Israel who had turn to worship Idols, back to knowing and living for the one who freed their fathers from slavery in Egypt. Lord over Israel and all the earth.He was the quintessential prophet. A lonely, zealous man, single mind in his fidelity to God and Sinaitic Covenant. He erupted from the desert wastes whenever Yahweh's battles had to be fought, clad only in the hair mantle of his calling. At this time the King of Israel, Ahab, married Jezebel a woman who had intention to overthrow the land with the false God Baal. She dedicated time to killing the prophets of Israel. She was so evil that even the prophet Elijah fled from her and wanted to die.
