Mount Carmel: The Great Showdown Between Elijah & the False Prophets of Baal.
Location
1. The place marking the great showdown between Elijah and the false prophets is known as Deir Al-Mukhraqa Carmelite Monastery. The Discalced Carmelites are made up of Catholic men and women who dedicate themselves to a life of prayer. The Carmelite nuns live in monasteries and follow a wholly thoughtful and reflective life.
2. Mount Carmel is located about 9 miles (15 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea in the Carmel Mountain Range, which is in the northern part of Israel. It’s also about 28 miles (44 km.) southwest of the Sea of Galilee.
3. Mount Carmel was a High Place of worship to the false god of Baal and Asherah during Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings.
4. It has a spectacular view of the Jezreel Valley, which is also known as the Valley of Armageddon. Armageddon is where part of the last battle on earth takes place at the end of the Great Tribulation Period.
5. From Mount Carmel, Nazareth and Cana can be seen to the northeast.
Historical Background
1. The great showdown between the Prophet Elijah and the 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah began around 100 years earlier when King Solomon sowed the seeds that would destroy Israel morally.
2. Against God’s clear commandments to the Israelites, Solomon married many foreign wives.
3. These foreign wives worshipped false gods, and in order to honor them, Solomon built high places of worship all over Israel where these false gods could be worshipped. 1 Kings 11 recounts this tragic reality.
4. As a result, the worship of false gods became rampant in the land.
5. Because of the worship of false gods, God pronounced judgment on the nation of Israel, and it was divided into two kingdoms after Solomon’s death.
6. Rehoboam, one of Solomon’s sons, took the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which consisted of 2 tribes, and Jeroboam, one of Solomon’s officials, took the Northern Kingdom, which consisted of 10 tribes.
7. Because Jeroboam was afraid many of his people would defect to Rehoboam’s kingdom by going to Jerusalem to worship God in the temple there, he introduced false gods into the northern tribes of Israel.
8. Jeroboam erected two golden calf altars at Bethel and Dan for his people to worship at instead of going to the temple in Jerusalem. He told his people that these golden calves were the gods who led them out of Egypt.
9. Several kings later, King Ahab, king of the Northern Kingdom, married a foreign wife named Jezebel, who worshipped the false gods of Baal (a male god) and Asherah (a female god). Jezebel promoted worship to these false gods by employing countless prophets of Baal and Asherah. She even supported them financially and fed them at her royal table.
10. Mt. Carmel was one of the key high places in Israel where the people worshiped Baal and Asherah.
12. Baal and Asherah were the gods of the weather. It was for this reason God sent a drought and then later sent rain. By doing so, He showed He was the true God of the weather and everything else. Baal worship was originally from the Canaanite nations God drove out because of their extreme wickedness.

1. The showdown between Elijah and the false prophets takes place during the reign of Ahab, King of Israel.
even when Jezebel and Ahab know that baal is a false god they don't want to accept Jehovah.. that's why these ppl was destroyed so badly... God is always merciful.. lovely sermon .. God bless you sir .. Amen
Yeah yeah. So you have to crawel to the real God and none of this would happen right? Just listen to what your saying
Yeah. Idols destroy people. Just look how it corrupts people. I’m thankful for Gods mercy and truth that sets me free. He is so much better than any dumb idol anyway.
Jehovah IS the true God the Supreme God I am angry with this self appointed preacher if Elisha was here he would strike you down are you that blind what have you learnt ..fear of man mabey yeah? .Elisha called out those false prophets Elisha said to them as i am saying to you do you understand how you anger people with your brazen pompass attitude and FEAR OF MAN ? Elisha struck down those false Prophets and you are doing what those false prophets did YOU ARE DENYING THE LIVING GOD'S NAME WHO CREATED YOU and everyone YOU ARE REALLY A Hip...T....those people sitting in front of you deserve better The whole issue with Elisha was proving that those FALSE PRIEST were phony , Jehovah is the true God that's why they did the sacrifices with SPEAK THE TRUTH
BUT. GOD SAYS "" LAST DAYS WAR. IS GODS ELIJAHS. WITCH MOST CHRISTIANS HAVE HAVE BEEN MISS LED BY JEZEBELS FALSE PROPHETS WHO SIT AT HER TABLE. !! DID NOT GOD WARN YOU. IF SO. WHY HAVE YOU. NOT WOKEN UP TO THE ARE UNDER COVER. EVEN INTO. ESPECIALLY. ...E V E R Y PLACE AND SO CHURCH YOU GO ;!!GOD BLESS. AMEN !!!

As a Jew, and as a Messianic believer in Yeshua, I am very impressed by your teachings. Very clear, concise and gives people are great understanding of Biblical events.
Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless.
Jews understand that the sacrifices were atonement offerings (for failing trials) by individuals (the first and best fruits of their efforts). For each sin without complete and personal atonement there is punishment (first tribulation, then reincarnation or hell); nobody can negotiate nor be absolved of sin. The idea that god would take the form of the messiah, or that mashiach can be defeated, or that merely by recognizing mashiach you would be absolved of past/future sin is blasphemy. The Jews believe Jesus was a tzadik, a sage. It is typical for sages to die quickly after achieving miracles because their soul has been corrected. The purpose of life is for every soul to face trial/tribulation to be corrected in order to reflect and revere the glory of god. There are mathematical patterns embedded throughout the Torah that are not present in the new testament proving differing origin. The Jews are the chosen people and as such may never truly fall from the path - a living witness (the sons/daughters of) god. The Jews are continuous evidence the covenant remains in force upon humanity, meaning everyone is intended to follow the majority of the 613 commandments of Torah. If Jesus is mashiach, he came before the souls underwent sufficient correction, and should return. Christians that have been sparked towards the ways of Torah should pray for guidance to reveal the answers they seek.
✝️ 👨👩👧👦 🇺🇸 - It fascinates me how peaceful it looks there where the pastor is teaching…It’s such a dichotomy to the past history.

The Real Secret to the Christian Life is committing yourself to spiritual disciplines, it's your spiritual disciplines that sustain you.
It's your commitment to prayer + commitment to reading God's word are the sustaining vehicles or tools in your life that will carry you.
--- Pastor Todd M.
Pastor Todd, thank you for your comments.
Thank you father! Yes prayers and commitment to live one's life in a way that adheres to christian teaching, a relationship with God through conduct prayers Bible reading and good deeds! I am glad that you said that God spoke to you because He also spoke to me! Among many other things He told me that He'll fire is real and about people that did evil He said:"I burned him". This in my mind means that all powers are in God s hands. Even in the story of Job, it says that it is God that in order to test, allows the devil to send criminals to kill Job s children and steal his livestock.
Hello, Pastor Todd. Today, I'm a new subscriber. I'm wondering if you might be able to answer a question I have. It seems that the monastery of St. Mary of Carmel was named for Mary because of the cloud that appeared as a small hand. Is there a Biblical connection between a small hand and Mary? I don't understand. If you haven't time to answer, it's OK. I understand you must be very busy. Thank you for your work. I believe there are multiple portions of faith/grace. Forgiveness, righteousness, holiness and "the good part" promised to Mary of Bethany. My husband accepted forgiveness minutes before he died. He didn't get to live long enough to live righteously. I hope he made it.
These videos are so amazing! I would love to go to Israel and experience all these biblical sites. I am thankful that the Lord has brought your videos and teachings to me. God Bless!!!!
Such a beautiful account of the LORD our God devouring the sacrifice, our God YHVH is a consuming fire...
YHWH YHWSH IS a consuming fire, Amen! He proved himself then to be God Almighty, the only and ONE TRUE GOD! He still remains proven and true today!
This is the day that the Lord has made.
And it is marvelous in our eyes.
Praise the Lord.
Thank you Pastor, what a treat!! The Bible and Israel. I save these for a special treat.

Thank you for an insightful sermon. I have to wonder how God kept giving His people chance after chance to return to Him without giving up on them. In giving His own Son is the ultimate gift in His love for us. What an awesome Father.

Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for ur awesome teaching pastor..!!
I don't think I have ever heard this story in all my years in church. I was in church throughout my entire life and I'm about to turn 30. I was also homeschooled with Christian curriculum. So I might've studied this once as a young girl.
What a powerful display of God's voice and power!
Thank you sir for teaching us these things and sharing the proof of the history for all to see!
I always enjoyed reading and hearing this bible account. Elijah showed the people who is the one true God, and God rid Israel of these devil worshiping Kenites but the people only listened for a time. People have short memories and we all fall short of the glory of God, we need to renew our minds with Gods word amen...
When things are good we fall away
Very good!God bless you !
More blessings, always love to watch your video to learn more day by day. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍
