1 Reis 18:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:38

Then the fire of the Lord fell
An extraordinary fire from God out of heaven, as the effects of it show:

and consumed the burnt sacrifice;
as it had done in former instances, ( Leviticus 9:24 ) ( Judges 6:21 ) ( 1 Chronicles 21:26 ) ( 2 Chronicles 7:1 2 Chronicles 7:3 ) , and besides this, which is still more extraordinary,

and the wood, and the stones, and the dust;
of the altar, thereby signifying that even such were not to be used any more:

and licked up the water that was in the trench;
around the altar, see ( 1 Kings 18:32 ) .

1 Reis 18:38 In-Context

36 Sucedeu pois que, sendo já hora de se oferecer o sacrifício da tarde, o profeta Elias se chegou, e disse: ç Senhor, Deus de Abraão, de Isaque, e de Israel, seja manifestado hoje que tu és Deus em Israel, e que eu sou teu servo, e que conforme a tua palavra tenho feito todas estas coisas.
37 Responde-me, ó Senhor, responde-me para que este povo conheça que tu, ó Senhor, és Deus, e que tu fizeste voltar o seu coração.
38 Então caiu fogo do Senhor, e consumiu o holocausto, a lenha, as pedras, e o pó, e ainda lambeu a água que estava no rego.
39 Quando o povo viu isto, prostraram-se todos com o rosto em terra e disseram: O senhor é Deus! O Senhor é Deus!
40 Disse-lhes Elias: Agarrai os profetas de Baal! que nenhum deles escape: Agarraram-nos; e Elias os fez descer ao ribeiro de Quisom, onde os matou.
