After final separation of the twelve tribes
The kingdom of Israel succumbed to idolatry
God's anger raged at King Ahab and his nation
For idolatry and persecution of his priests
They were put to death in astonishing numbers
Now God's plan - a punishment for their sinsHe sent Elijah
TELL HIM, to tell King Ahab
THREE YEARS, for three years and a half
NO RAIN, no rain shall fall in IsraelAs soon as Elijah had foretold this great evil
God bade him hide himself from the rage of Ahab
In a certain place near the brook called Cherith
Where He had commanded the ravens to feed him
So he dwelt and drank of the water from the brook
While the ravens brought him food morning and eveningDo unto the least of these
GOD'S PLAN, God's instruments of his plan
RAVENS, the blackest bird of them all
FED HIM, the ravens heard God's callGod provides when hope is gone today
God provides when you must hide away
God provides when hope is gone todayThe members of Jeroboam's family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures. I, the Lord, have spoken.
