Which Old Testament prophet, known for his fiery faith, miraculously called down fire from heaven in a dramatic showdown with false prophets?

Correct Answer

C) Elijah

The answer is C. Elijah. This thrilling story is found in 1 Kings 18. Elijah, empowered by his faith in the one true God, challenges the prophets of Baal to a duel. They spend hours performing elaborate rituals, but cannot call down fire. In contrast, Elijah builds an altar, drenches his sacrifice in water, and then prays. Fire spectacularly falls from heaven, showcasing the might of genuine faith and revealing the impotence of false gods.
