A confrontation on Mount Carmel made this conflict unmistakable. Before all Israel, Elijah rebuilt the broken altar of the LORD, soaked the sacrifice with water, and prayed a simple prayer that God would make Himself known. Fire fell from heaven, consuming the offering, the wood, the stones, and even the water in the trench. The people fell on their faces and confessed, “The LORD, He is the God.” The prophets of Baal were put to flight, and judgment fell upon them.
