“Obviously, for some years the Lord had been preparing Elijah to prove one truth to all Israel: that the Lord (Jehovah-Yahweh) is the only living and true God. In fact, Elijah’s very name means ‘the Lord (Yahweh) is my God.’ It was his God-given mission to proclaim the message that his name declared: ‘The Lord is God, He and He alone.’ His message was to stand against Baal, the false god that most of Israel was now worshipping. Baal was thought to be the god of fertility, the god who controlled the rain and the dew, the crops and the harvest of the fields, and gave man the strength to work and produce with his hands.” (Page 180)

“Ahab’s alliance with Jehoshaphat: An unholy, worldly union” (Page 229)

“Ahab’s leadership the people became engrossed in wickedness, idolatry and false worship, so engrossed that they turned completely away from the Lord to the worship of the false god Baal. This particular false god was thought to be the god of fertility, the god of the dew and rain and of the sunshine and light—all the ingredients that caused the crops to grow and the lives of men to be productive and fruitful upon the earth.” (Page 178)

“Placing the Ark in the temple was to be the crowning event of the dedication service. As Matthew Henry says, without the Ark, the temple was like a body without a soul, or a candlestick without a candle, or a house without an inhabitant. All the cost that had gone into the temple was lost if God’s presence did not dwell therein.” (Page 84)

“Remember that Ahab and his infamous wife Jezebel had launched a purge against the prophets of the Lord, no doubt killing many of them. Jezebel was determined to eliminate the worship of the Lord from the land.” (Page 231)
