Elijah's Sudden Appearance and Disappearance

Elijah's sudden appearance and disappearance hold valuable lessons for all believers. His introduction was a reminder to idolatrous idolatrous Ahab that the Lord lives. The believer too is a living reminder to modern society which seeks to consign God to history. In the withdrawing of his prophet we see a famine of the Word of God, and lessons in humility and faith for the prophet and for us.
