1 Reis 18:36

36 À hora do sacrifício, o profeta Elias colocou-se à frente do altar e orou: “Ó SENHOR, Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Israel, que hoje fique conhecido que tu és Deus em Israel e que sou o teu servo e que fiz todas estas coisas por ordem tua.

1 Reis 18:36 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:36

And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the
evening sacrifice
Which the people of God at Jerusalem were now attending to:

that Elijah the prophet came near;
to the altar he had built, and on which he had laid the sacrifice:

and said;
in prayer to God:

Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
the covenant God of the ancestors of his people, though they had now so fully departed from him:

let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel;
and that there is no other:

and that I am thy servant;
a true worshipper of him, and his faithful prophet and minister:

and that I have done all these things at thy word;
restrained rain from the earth for some years past, and now had convened Israel, and the false prophets, together, that by a visible sign from heaven it might be known who was the true God; all which he did not of himself, but by the impulse, direction, and, commandment of the Lord.

1 Reis 18:36 In-Context

34 “Façam-no novamente”, disse, e eles o fizeram de novo.“Façam-no pela terceira vez”, ordenou, e eles o fizeram pela terceira vez.
35 A água escorria do altar, chegando a encher a valeta.
36 À hora do sacrifício, o profeta Elias colocou-se à frente do altar e orou: “Ó SENHOR, Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Israel, que hoje fique conhecido que tu és Deus em Israel e que sou o teu servo e que fiz todas estas coisas por ordem tua.
37 Responde-me, ó SENHOR, responde-me, para que este povo saiba que tu, ó SENHOR, és Deus e que fazes o coração deles voltar para ti”.
38 Então o fogo do SENHOR caiu e queimou completamente o holocausto, a lenha, as pedras e o chão, e também secou totalmente a água na valeta.
