The showdown between Elijah and the prophets was a pro-temple because Elijah “built an altar in the name of the Lord” just like Solomon did. On the other hand, he challenged the people to “call upon” Ba’al, their god, to see who the real God was. This was the same when Israelites prayed to YHWH in the temple so that He may hear their pleas except that the prophets were not…
Like David from the bible story David & Goliath, it was thought that UCLA stood no chance against Gonzaga. Adam Morrison stood tall over UCLA’s team, and was expected to carrying his team like a giant. With only about 40 seconds left, Mark Few pulled all he had like the David did with the stones. David had to represent his entire nation against a giant who was over ten times his size. All of the cards are on Gonzaga’s court, but UCLA’s Ryan Hollins gets fouled and this changes the expectation of what is to happen now.…

My experience at Elijah’s Promise was humbling and self-rewarding. It was humbling because for the two hours I was there I witnessed what it is like to have close to nothing. The people who came in looked forward to their hot meal. They had some fun and really enjoyed themselves even though they are not in the best of situations. For this reason, I did not mind doing the work I was told to do and actually enjoyed it in the process. Elijah’s Promise was also self-rewarding because I was able to really get something out of the experience. I was able to be truly thankful for my life and understand that I was doing a good thing for good people. I could tell how grateful the people at Elijah’s Promise were and that…
In ancient Jewish culture, prophets were a part of every-day life. They proclaimed what they understood to be God's word, and lived according to it. In times of crisis, prophets were even more present, to warn and give consolation to the people.

The Prophets by Abraham Heschel is a fascinating book which aims to understand the prophet by studying and evaluating the totality of his consciousness, in his relation not only to God, but also to man. According to Heschel the prophets purpose was to convey the very pathos of God, yet throughout each prophetic book the imprint or voice of the author is still felt (p. xxii). For these men prophecy was not just something that they did from time to time, it was a way of life and part of their very being. Who was the prophet? He was a man imbued with a deep conviction, an inner crisis.…

In the Old Testament, we have been introduced to many influential characters. There are many characters who classify as prophets. In fact, there are a total of twelve prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Some of the most compelling ones are Samuel, Isaiah, and Jonah. While there are many goals of prophets, I believe that the overall goal for prophets in the bible (mostly the Old Testament) was to serve as a messenger of God and relay His message to His people.…
