Mount Carmel: The Great Showdown Between Elijah & the False Prophets of Baal.
Location
1. The place marking the great showdown between Elijah and the false prophets is known as Deir Al-Mukhraqa Carmelite Monastery. The Discalced Carmelites are made up of Catholic men and women who dedicate themselves to a life of prayer. The Carmelite nuns live in monasteries and follow a wholly thoughtful and reflective life.
2. Mount Carmel is located about 9 miles (15 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea in the Carmel Mountain Range, which is in the northern part of Israel. It’s also about 28 miles (44 km.) southwest of the Sea of Galilee.
3. Mount Carmel was a High Place of worship to the false god of Baal and Asherah during Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings.
4. It has a spectacular view of the Jezreel Valley, which is also known as the Valley of Armageddon. Armageddon is where part of the last battle on earth takes place at the end of the Great Tribulation Period.
5. From Mount Carmel, Nazareth and Cana can be seen to the northeast.
Historical Background
1. The great showdown between the Prophet Elijah and the 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah began around 100 years earlier when King Solomon sowed the seeds that would destroy Israel morally.
2. Against God’s clear commandments to the Israelites, Solomon married many foreign wives.
3. These foreign wives worshipped false gods, and in order to honor them, Solomon built high places of worship all over Israel where these false gods could be worshipped. 1 Kings 11 recounts this tragic reality.
4. As a result, the worship of false gods became rampant in the land.
5. Because of the worship of false gods, God pronounced judgment on the nation of Israel, and it was divided into two kingdoms after Solomon’s death.
6. Rehoboam, one of Solomon’s sons, took the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which consisted of 2 tribes, and Jeroboam, one of Solomon’s officials, took the Northern Kingdom, which consisted of 10 tribes.
7. Because Jeroboam was afraid many of his people would defect to Rehoboam’s kingdom by going to Jerusalem to worship God in the temple there, he introduced false gods into the northern tribes of Israel.
8. Jeroboam erected two golden calf altars at Bethel and Dan for his people to worship at instead of going to the temple in Jerusalem. He told his people that these golden calves were the gods who led them out of Egypt.
9. Several kings later, King Ahab, king of the Northern Kingdom, married a foreign wife named Jezebel, who worshipped the false gods of Baal (a male god) and Asherah (a female god). Jezebel promoted worship to these false gods by employing countless prophets of Baal and Asherah. She even supported them financially and fed them at her royal table.
10. Mt. Carmel was one of the key high places in Israel where the people worshiped Baal and Asherah.
12. Baal and Asherah were the gods of the weather. It was for this reason God sent a drought and then later sent rain. By doing so, He showed He was the true God of the weather and everything else. Baal worship was originally from the Canaanite nations God drove out because of their extreme wickedness.

even when Jezebel and Ahab know that baal is a false god they don't want to accept Jehovah.. that's why these ppl was destroyed so badly... God is always merciful.. lovely sermon .. God bless you sir .. Amen
Yeah yeah. So you have to crawel to the real God and none of this would happen right? Just listen to what your saying
Yeah. Idols destroy people. Just look how it corrupts people. I’m thankful for Gods mercy and truth that sets me free. He is so much better than any dumb idol anyway.
Jehovah IS the true God the Supreme God I am angry with this self appointed preacher if Elisha was here he would strike you down are you that blind what have you learnt ..fear of man mabey yeah? .Elisha called out those false prophets Elisha said to them as i am saying to you do you understand how you anger people with your brazen pompass attitude and FEAR OF MAN ? Elisha struck down those false Prophets and you are doing what those false prophets did YOU ARE DENYING THE LIVING GOD'S NAME WHO CREATED YOU and everyone YOU ARE REALLY A Hip...T....those people sitting in front of you deserve better The whole issue with Elisha was proving that those FALSE PRIEST were phony , Jehovah is the true God that's why they did the sacrifices with SPEAK THE TRUTH
BUT. GOD SAYS "" LAST DAYS WAR. IS GODS ELIJAHS. WITCH MOST CHRISTIANS HAVE HAVE BEEN MISS LED BY JEZEBELS FALSE PROPHETS WHO SIT AT HER TABLE. !! DID NOT GOD WARN YOU. IF SO. WHY HAVE YOU. NOT WOKEN UP TO THE ARE UNDER COVER. EVEN INTO. ESPECIALLY. ...E V E R Y PLACE AND SO CHURCH YOU GO ;!!GOD BLESS. AMEN !!!
@@Injusticeshittingone day, even you will bow the knee
As a Jew, and as a Messianic believer in Yeshua, I am very impressed by your teachings. Very clear, concise and gives people are great understanding of Biblical events.
Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless.
Jews understand that the sacrifices were atonement offerings (for failing trials) by individuals (the first and best fruits of their efforts). For each sin without complete and personal atonement there is punishment (first tribulation, then reincarnation or hell); nobody can negotiate nor be absolved of sin. The idea that god would take the form of the messiah, or that mashiach can be defeated, or that merely by recognizing mashiach you would be absolved of past/future sin is blasphemy. The Jews believe Jesus was a tzadik, a sage. It is typical for sages to die quickly after achieving miracles because their soul has been corrected. The purpose of life is for every soul to face trial/tribulation to be corrected in order to reflect and revere the glory of god. There are mathematical patterns embedded throughout the Torah that are not present in the new testament proving differing origin. The Jews are the chosen people and as such may never truly fall from the path - a living witness (the sons/daughters of) god. The Jews are continuous evidence the covenant remains in force upon humanity, meaning everyone is intended to follow the majority of the 613 commandments of Torah. If Jesus is mashiach, he came before the souls underwent sufficient correction, and should return. Christians that have been sparked towards the ways of Torah should pray for guidance to reveal the answers they seek.
These videos are so amazing! I would love to go to Israel and experience all these biblical sites. I am thankful that the Lord has brought your videos and teachings to me. God Bless!!!!
The Real Secret to the Christian Life is committing yourself to spiritual disciplines, it's your spiritual disciplines that sustain you.
It's your commitment to prayer + commitment to reading God's word are the sustaining vehicles or tools in your life that will carry you.
--- Pastor Todd M.
Pastor Todd, thank you for your comments.
Thank you father! Yes prayers and commitment to live one's life in a way that adheres to christian teaching, a relationship with God through conduct prayers Bible reading and good deeds! I am glad that you said that God spoke to you because He also spoke to me! Among many other things He told me that He'll fire is real and about people that did evil He said:"I burned him". This in my mind means that all powers are in God s hands. Even in the story of Job, it says that it is God that in order to test, allows the devil to send criminals to kill Job s children and steal his livestock.
Hello, Pastor Todd. Today, I'm a new subscriber. I'm wondering if you might be able to answer a question I have. It seems that the monastery of St. Mary of Carmel was named for Mary because of the cloud that appeared as a small hand. Is there a Biblical connection between a small hand and Mary? I don't understand. If you haven't time to answer, it's OK. I understand you must be very busy. Thank you for your work. I believe there are multiple portions of faith/grace. Forgiveness, righteousness, holiness and "the good part" promised to Mary of Bethany. My husband accepted forgiveness minutes before he died. He didn't get to live long enough to live righteously. I hope he made it.
Another fascinating teaching, always reminds me to just focus on God's grace and love. Thank you, pastor 🙏
Such a beautiful account of the LORD our God devouring the sacrifice, our God YHVH is a consuming fire...
YHWH YHWSH IS a consuming fire, Amen! He proved himself then to be God Almighty, the only and ONE TRUE GOD! He still remains proven and true today!
I love your preaching pastor ❤️ . It makes me loving God more . Thank you pastor 🙏🙏🙏.
Are you from Pacifica, CA?
This is the day that the Lord has made.
And it is marvelous in our eyes.
Praise the Lord.

@@HolyLandSite Pastor how are you friend?Iam Arab Muslim from Yemen and I have see you being wise and a christian scholar so I want to ask you about the Ark of covenant,Is it written in old testament about it that one day it will be lost and found in the second coming of ISSA(as)?
Or according to your knowledge of bible when was it lost?
Eager to hear from you soon sorry for my English is poor
Todd is an excellent teacher and I enjoy his lessons and the mood he sets with the music. I find it very peaceful here as I'm learning about the Bible...
Thank you for this video. I have a better understanding of what happened at Mt Carmel now. Please continue sharing. It has been a great blessing to me!
How neat! Thank you Pastor Todd for this video, enjoyed it. Sending love & prayers from Southern California.
Glad you enjoyed it
Prayers also from Northern California!
Thank you for an insightful sermon. I have to wonder how God kept giving His people chance after chance to return to Him without giving up on them. In giving His own Son is the ultimate gift in His love for us. What an awesome Father.
Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless.
God love is not like mankind love he continues to give us chance after chance all day everyday his love is unconditional thank you Almighty Heavenly Father for not being lime man thank you for being God above all gods and beside you there is no other 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No son,sounds just like the baal worshippers!
Thank you Pastor, what a treat!! The Bible and Israel. I save these for a special treat.
Thank you so very much ❤.
The Mighty Power that comes from your soft spoken crystal clear voice is A true blessing from God 🙌🙏🙌🙏❤❤❤
We're there in 2017 on top of the building & took photos but didn't have any study of Mt. Carmel. Pastor, you gave a very enlightening, inspiring message w/ your group. Nice teaching. God richly bless you & your ministries. I praise the good Lord for you!
Thank you pastor! Thank you Heavenly Father! For your sovereignty towards us. This was very extremely helpful and reminder of “God is much bigger then an. Emotion don’t limit me to how you feel”
With the help of our Lord Jesus Christ He has shown me how to be disciplined and has He has remind me how I need to act. I am not the same person now I understand what it means when you completely except Jesus Christ as your savior you leave your sinful life behind.
His words have been my rock yes we all go through up & down I am learning to fight the devil back with Scriptures! This was an amazing video thank you for this amazing beautiful video I am a visualize person or I need to reread it but your video made me see it clearly on details on the altar. Blessings Pastor to you and Isreal.
Thanks for sharing and may God bless you.
Awesome just awesome. I have heard of Elijah but didnt know the whole story and man it blew me away when I read about it. Thank you Pastor and to see the location, I'm still in awe.

According to Google, Most Stone melts at 1500 degrees Celsius (2750 Fahrenheit). I've always loved this Story, but hearing it read while standing on that Terrace is the moment that the the Bible became Overwhelmingly "Real" to me. God Bless You and your ministry!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Pastor for this sermon I really really appreciate it may God bless you
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Lord Jesus, help us to be focused on you. Help us to be steadfast in our love for You, to be committed in prayer, studying your word, worshipping & serving You. Dat at the end of it all, we don't keep turning back, but be wholeheartedly committed to You. And help us to bear fruit which lasts. This vdo has taught me not to keep coming back & forth. But to move forward in Our walk with Christ Our Lord. Thxs once again. Am blessed to be part of your Holy Land tour.
I stood on this spot in Feb 2020. Amazing.
Hi Linda, is that you to the left of screen at 10:58 ?....
I had tears of joy in my eyes each time that you smiled in this video... That might seem odd to some people, but it makes me so happy to see other people enjoying the Word of the Lord.
God bless you Linda, and remember....
"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" - James 4:8
Again another badass video. I especially love what you said at the end. I seem to go up and down On fire and then a simmering then on fire again. I call myself a bipolar christian. My heart wants to be on fire all the time but sometimes even in praying daily and reading scripture i go quiet. But then i go on fire again. Thank God for the on fire times
Your voice is so peaceful. I enjoy listening to your sermons. God bless you and your beautiful family.
