OT 15.6 | Elijah at Sinai: Why God Rejected His Own Prophet's Greatest Victory

Elijah calls fire from heaven on Mount Carmel — then God tells him at Sinai that fire is not where the divine dwells. This video traces one of the most radical theological claims in the Hebrew Bible: that Israel's God is not a nature deity but a God of history, encountered not in spectacle but in silence. We follow the literary parallels between Elijah and Moses, the theological corrective embedded in the Sinai theophany, and the prophetic legacy that passes from Elijah to Elisha — whose miracles reappear almost beat-for-beat in the gospel accounts of Jesus. Key concepts covered: • The Elijah-Moses literary parallels: 40 days on the mountain, the rocky cleft, God passing by, and flight from a hostile ruler • The Sinai theophany as a series of negations — wind, earthquake, and fire rejected as containers of the divine • Why the "still, small voice" is a polemic against Baal and storm-god theology • Cyclical nature religion (Baal) versus linear historical theology (YHWH) • God's post-silence command: anoint kings and a successor, not retreat into mysticism • Elisha's dual role as political kingmaker and popular wonder-worker • Jehu's revolution and the violent triumph of the Yahweh-only party • Elisha's miracles — floating the axe head, raising the dead, multiplying food, healing Naaman • The direct parallels between Elisha's miracles and the gospel accounts of Jesus • The three-part prophetic template: theological corrective, political action, and popular miracle-working ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCE MATERIALS The source materials for this video are from    • Lecture 15. Hebrew Prophecy: The Non-Liter...
