What did Elijah do before he ran scared from Jezreel?
Before fleeing Jezreel, Elijah performed a tremendous miracle, calling down the power of God, and had the prophets of Baal put to death. Then one threat from a woman at Jezreel caused him to run scared all the way to Mount Sinai, about 150 miles, where he sat under a juniper tree.
Les explains that Elijah had just performed a tremendous miracle, calling down the power of God and having the prophets of Baal put to death. With one threat from one little old woman at Jezreel, he ran scared. He ran all the way down to Mount Sinai, something like 150 miles, until he sat down under a juniper tree. There he cried that he had had his last meal and was ready to go, saying he was the only one left. God answered that He had reserved seven thousand men who had not bowed the knee to Baal, which could mean 14,000 to 20,000 Jews still believing in Jehovah when wives and children are counted.
