Category:Elijah hears God

1 Kings 19:11-19:16

'''19:11. He said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord, overthrowing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: but the Lord is not in the wind. After the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord is not in the earthquake.'''

'''19:12. After the earthquake, a fire: but the Lord is not in the fire. And after the fire, a whistling of a gentle air.'''

'''19:13. When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elijah? He answered:'''

19:14. With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.

19:15. The Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way, through the desert, to Damascus: and when you have come thither, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;

19:16. and you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Namsi, to be king over Israel: and Eliseus, the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, you shall anoint to be prophet in thy room.
