What did Elijah do when he ran away from Jezebel?
After Jezebel threatened him, Elijah fled, running far into the desert. Exhausted, he sat under a juniper tree and asked God to take his life, saying he was the only one left. God corrected him, revealing He still had 7,000 in Israel.
Les explains that after Elijah put to death the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, Jezebel sent a messenger saying that by the next day he would be as dead as her prophets. Rather than standing on God's victory, Elijah ran and ran a long way. When he finally pooped out, he sat under a little old juniper tree in the desert and said, 'God, take my life. This is the last of Israel. I'm the only one left.' God answered that He still had 7,000, a remnant. Les ties this to the broad way and narrow way: many go the broad way, but few find eternal life, and God has always been satisfied with a small remnant, even through the church age.
