I'm sure that this question has been mooted before on this Forum...BUT can anyone suggest what the highlighted phrases in the following passage are trying to convey to us ?

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. 43 "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked.
"There is nothing there," he said.
Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."
44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."
So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' "

Opinions appreciated !!

I don't understand the question. The Lord made it rain. And that's not opinion, that's a fact.

Of course, it would also help if you used the correct Bible, the one and only King James - Authorized Version.

What do you think it means?


Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I reckon that while Elijah was burying his head between his knees in reverence and prayer before God, he sent his servant to the mountain’s peak tolook for the coming of the rains. The servant, though, quickly returned a number of times with a bad report:there was no rain in sight. Elijah heard the sound of a deluge, yet his servant saw nothing. So then.. If you are expecting other people to see what your faith has convinced you of, forget it! Nobody can see with their eyes what can only be perceived by faith.

A salutory lesson indeed ??.

Well, Friend: nobody said it was easy. I mean look at the Joos: as soon as Moses turned his back on them (and the Lord showed him His hind quarters ) they started worshipping something else. I mean, you couldn't take a leak or *pow*... they stopped believing in the only True Lord.

But: this knowledge has been brought to us by our Holy Bible. You can read for yourself that Ahab wasn't very smart, and wasn't a very good servant either.

If he had just believed his master, everything would have been OK. Could have saved him some round trips, right?

I think THAT is the lesson here. Obay your master! And keep believing.

Amen.

I think the problem is that you did not look at what they claim to be the right book, if you had you would have found
Quote:
41 And Eliiah said vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of abundance of raine.

42 So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel, and he cast himselfe downe vpon the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,

43 And said to his seruant, Goe vp now, looke toward the Sea. And hee went vp, and looked, and saide, There is nothing. And he said, Goe againe seuen times.

44 And it came to passe at the seuenth time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the Sea, like a mans hand. And he said, Goe vp, say vnto Ahab, Prepare thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stop thee not.
Is that clearer?

As a new follower of this Forum...I am, with your esteemed advice..learning quickly !...as for Ahab, his taste in Women left much to be desired as well as
his inability to dodge arrows !... ( Friendly Fire?).

Deo Volente we will meet again !
