∙ 13y agoThe Bible records Elijah as a great prophet of Israel, expert at performing magic tricks or trivial miracles. For his friend, he converted an ordinary cake into one that never grew smaller as it was eaten and, in contrived circumstances, resuscitated her apparently dead son.
Elijah's one great miracle is also highly contrived. According to 1 Kings 18:19, he challenged the king of Israel to let the 450 opposing priests compete with him on Mount Carmel to call upon their gods to start a fire under a bullock carcass. Of course, he set the rules for this contest, which he won convincingly. The crowd then held the priests until Elijah personally killed them all. Yet, in spite of seeing a miracle performed, and in spite of their fervent involvement in the deaths of the priests, the people continued to worship the gods that Elijah despised.
