We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!In the annals of biblical history, few tales are as dramatic as the confrontation between Elijah and the prophets of Baal of 1 Kings 18. This epic showdown takes place against a backdrop of rising idolatry in Israel under the reign of King Ahab and his notorious queen, Jezebel. Ahab, the son of Omri, continued his father's legacy of evil by marrying Jezebel, a fervent advocate of Baal worship. Together, they led Israel into a period of unprecedented idolatry, turning the hearts of the people away from the Lord to worship false gods.Thank you for being a part of the club for Season 11.Show NotesBlogThe Kings of IsraelJerusalem in the Time of David and SolomonThe TabernacleThe Temple 2012 discovery of a reservoir Contact Bible Book ClubLike, comment, or message us through Bible Book Club's InstagramLike or comment on Susan's Facebook or InstagramLeave us an Apple reviewContact us through our website formThanks for listening and happy podcasting!
