How we Know
How do we know about this “God contest” and that it really happened? We know from the story in Bible found in 1 Kings chapter 18. When Queen Jezebel and King Ahab wanted to kill the prophet Elijah and to lead Israel into worshiping the fake god Baal and other idols, Elijah proposed a public challenge to see who really was God. It’s an exciting story!
