EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts the biblical scene of Elijah's Burnt Offering as described in 1 Kings, Chapter 18. The prophet Elijah, a central figure in Jewish and Christian history, stands before an altar on Mount Carmel, challenging the people of Israel to choose between the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the Baal, the god of the Canaanites. The illustration portrays a tense atmosphere, with the prophets of Baal gathered around their altar, frantically calling on their god to consume their sacrifice. In contrast, Elijah, with unwavering faith, prepares his altar, offering a single bull as a sacrifice to God. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged mountains and a clear, blue sky, emphasizing the stark contrast between the two faiths. The moment of truth arrives as Elijah prays for God to send fire to consume the sacrifice. The heavens answer with a mighty display of divine power, consuming not only the bull but also the stones of the altar and the water in the trench surrounding it. The people of Israel, witnessing this miraculous event, fall to their knees and declare their faith in the God of Israel. This powerful and evocative print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the history and stories of the Bible, transporting us back to a time when faith and miracles shaped the lives of God's people.
