Study Notes - Pastor Justin Raby
Psa 90:9 … we spend our years as a tale that is told.
1Ki 16:30 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.
1Ki 16:31 And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.
1Ki 16:32 Then he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1Ki 16:33 And Ahab made a wooden image. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
1Ki 17:1 And…
1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”
1Ki 17:2 Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
1Ki 17:3 "Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.
1Ki 17:4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
1Ki 17:5 So he went and did according to the word of the LORD, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.
1Ki 17:6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
1Ki 17:7 And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1Ki 17:9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
Jas 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
Jas 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
