underway. Many people condone slavery because it will make their life easier. It will cost the owner a lot less to by 2 slaves at $1,500 each, (CITE THIS) than to pay for someone to work their land every year or pay for a maid to clean their house that will cost them thousands of thousands of dollars. While there were thousands of people who were pro slavery, there were some who thought it was inhuman and unethical to treat a person with that little respect. Elijah Parish Lovejoy was one of…

God, all that mattered was your social status. Elijah Pierson and Robert Matthews grew up in that time but didn’t agree with it as their elders did.

Pick Up the Mantle In 2 Kings 2:13, Elisha picks up the mantle that had been left behind by Elijah, symbolizing the passing on of the ministry to Elisha. God had not only chosen Elisha, but gave him the mantle, the covering of His Holy Spirit, to give him power and show his election and rite of succession. With this power Elisha was able to do great works for the Lord. God had chosen His only begotten son, equipping Him with the power to raise the dead, to give sight to the blind, to perform…

In 1 Kings 17:1-16, the reader is encountering the prophet Elijah, the Tishbite of Tishbe in Gilead, for the very first time. Ahab’s reign to King took place in 1 Kings 16, in which he is judged for provoking the anger of God more so than all of his predecessors had done. During 1 Kings 17, we see Elijah announcing to Ahab the coming of a drought that will end on his say-so only. The drama ultimately unfolds itself and runs through the end of chapter 18, which concerns itself with the…

Old Testament, we see great prophets emerge during times of great injustice. Among these great prophets is Elijah, an Israelite and worshiper of God under during the reign of Ahab and his murderous, idolatrous wife Jezebel. Ahab himself let his uncertainty and fear drive his passivity, which, even more so, gave way to Jezebel’s evil desires. As Ahab & Jezebel ruled, a severe famine and drought spread across Samaria. According to scholars, this devastation in Samaria lasted anywhere from two…

Ahab disregarded this and went to war disguised as a commoner. An arrow was shot between his armour, he died later that evening and his body was returned to Samaria where he was buried. His blood stained chariot was washed by the pool in Samaria and dogs licked his blood as prophesied by the prophet Elijah. “38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken.” i…

different churches. Each church has its own set of practices. One church upholds the practices of the early Apostolic Church. The other church upholds the practices of a preservation society. On one hand, the Apostolic Church never changes its position on right practice (though some of its practices continually change). Preservation societies, on the other hand, continually shift their Orthopraxis to accommodate the congregational sensitivity. Jeremiah 's cracked cistern symbolizes the…

In understanding Baal-zebub in 2 Kgs 1:2, we begin with Ahaziah falling through a lattice and inquiring of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron. It should be no surprise as a worshipper of Baal, determined to walk in the evil ways of his father and of his mother (1 Kings 22:52), Ahaziah would obviously make inquiries of all forms of the Baal divinity. Why he would chose "Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is said that possibly that Baal the oldest ancient sites of the Baal-worshiping temple. Baal-zebub is "the…
