Elijah was the exemplary prophet, calling Israel to return to Yahweh's covenant and worship only him. Through these intermediaries God again took the initiative in revelation and action as he had done in Israel's past, choosing the time and place where he would speak to his people. Just as...
used with other words and in names (e.g.,Zurishaddai), appears rarely. Of these names only Adonai has a satisfactory etymology. It is generally not possible to tell from English translations of the Bible what was the exact form of the name of God in the original. In Islam, the name ...
This is a promise to the nation of Israel that God is going to send a man like Elijah – see Elijah mentioned there in Luke 1:5? – to reunite Israel. So here is a promise of God – that’s what we’re talking about in this passage today, right – the promises of God – here...
