On Mount Carmel, Elijah challenges 450 prophets of Baal to a showdown — and God answers with fire from heaven that ends the debate.
Elijah sets up a dramatic contest: two altars, two bulls, and whichever god sends fire is the real God. The prophets of Baal shout and cut themselves for hours with no response. Elijah soaks his altar with water three times, prays once, and fire falls from heaven, consuming everything — the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and even the water. The drought breaks with a massive rainstorm.
