Description

Elijah stands on a windswept hillside overlooking the sea, watching the horizon after the long drought over Israel. The bare trees and sparse landscape recall the famine that followed Israel’s rebellion, while the open sky and distant water point toward the promised mercy of God. The scene reflects the moment after Mount Carmel when Elijah declared that rain was coming and sent his servant to look toward the sea. In 1 Kings 18, the prophet’s watchful waiting becomes an act of faith: before the storm appears, he trusts the word of the Lord. This artwork is suited for teaching on prayer, perseverance, repentance, drought, famine, and God’s power to restore a land.

Scriptures	1 Kings 18:41-45 James 5:17-18 1 Kings 18 41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain.” 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees. 43 And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” And he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go again,” seven times. 44 And at the seventh time he said, “Behold, a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea.” And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.’” 45 And in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. James 5 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
