Elijah's
ministry resumed in Israel
If God has shewn that He
took notice of His servant's fault, and did not pass it
lightly over, He did not fail towards him in either
tenderness or faithfulness. He acted towards him as
towards a beloved and faithful servant, even at the
moment in which He made him sensible of his failure in
the energy of faith; for He did not make others aware of
it, although He has communicated it to us for our
instruction.
I said failure in the
energy of faith; for, with respect to the mass of the
people, Elijah's judgment was just. God reveals His
thoughts and His intentions to him, and even points out
to him the agents He will employ; and, while definitely
replacing the prophet by Elisha, God nevertheless makes
him publicly re-enter His service, by commanding him to
call Elisha to accompany him in his work. Thus Elijah
resumes his ministry in the midst of Israel.
Ahaziah's sin and
its reproof in power
Now Ahaziah walked in the
way of his father, and openly confessed Baal to be his
god by sending to consult Baal-zebub at Ekron. Sent to
meet the king's messengers, Elijah pronounces his
sentence from the Lord. Incensed at being opposed in his
iniquity, Ahaziah sends men of his army to take him.
We find again here the
same judicial character in Elijah's miracles which was
spoken of before—a character pointed out by Jehovah
Himself. He calls down fire from heaven to consume these
men. The last of those sent by the king, owning the
authority and power of Elijah, has his life spared.
Elijah goes down with him to the king, to declare again
to him in person Jehovah's judgment which awaited him.
