1 Kings 18:1-46
1. After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
"Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land."
2. So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria,
3. and Ahab had summoned Obadiah,
who was in charge of his palace. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the LORD.
4. While Jezebel was killing off the LORD'S prophets,
Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves,
fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.)
5. Ahab had said to Obadiah,
"Go through the land to all the springs and valleys.
Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive
so we will not have to kill any of our animals."
6. So they divided the land they were to cover, Ahab going in one direction and Obadiah in another.
7. As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him.
Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, "Is it really you, my lord Elijah?"
8. "Yes," he replied. "Go tell your master, 'Elijah is here.'"
9. "What have I done wrong," asked Obadiah,
"that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death?
10. As surely as the LORD your God lives,
there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you.
And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there,
he made them swear they could not find you.
11. But now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.'
12. I don't know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you when I leave you.
If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn't find you, he will kill me.
Yet I your servant have worshiped the LORD since my youth.
13. Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD?
I hid a hundred of the LORD'S prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water.
14. And now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.' He will kill me!"
15. Elijah said, "As the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today."
16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17. When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
18. "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied.
"But you and your father's family have.
You have abandoned the LORD'S commands and have followed the Baals.
19. Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel.
And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah,
who eat at Jezebel's table."
20. So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.
21. Elijah went before the people and said,
"How long will you waver between two opinions?
If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
But the people said nothing.
22. Then Elijah said to them,
"I am the only one of the LORD'S prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
23. Get two bulls for us.
Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it.
I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it.
24. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD.
The god who answers by fire--he is God."
Then all the people said, "What you say is good."
25. Elijah said to the prophets of Baal,
"Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you.
Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire."
26. So they took the bull given them and prepared it.
Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon.
"O Baal, answer us!" they shouted.
But there was no response; no one answered.
And they danced around the altar they had made.
27. At noon Elijah began to taunt them.
"Shout louder!" he said.
"Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling.
Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
28. So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears,
as was their custom, until their blood flowed.
29. Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice.
But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.
30. Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me."
They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins.
31. Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob,
to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Your name shall be Israel."
32. With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD,
and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
33. He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood.
Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood."
34. "Do it again," he said, and they did it again.
"Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time.
35. The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
36. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed:
"O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel
and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God,
and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38. Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood,
the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried,
"The LORD--he is God! The LORD--he is God!"
40. Then Elijah commanded them,
"Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!"
They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.
41. And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain."
42. So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel,
bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43. "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant.
And he went up and looked.
"There is nothing there," he said. Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."
44. The seventh time the servant reported,
"A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."
So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'"
45. Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46. The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and,
tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
한심한 이스라엘과 놀라우신 하나님의 방법
어쩌면 이리도 어리석은 것인가?
마치 무지하고 어리석은 사람들과 같은 이스라엘 사람들을 본다.
그럼에도 불구하고 하나님은 그들을 사랑하시고 그들을 돌이키시기를 원하신다.
왜?
하나님은 그들을 당신의 백성 삼으셨기 떄문이며
우리또한 그 어리석은 인간의 모습으로 그분의 자녀되었으므로
당신의 사랑과 전폭적인 은혜가 아니면
단 한명이라도 하나님의 구원을 경험 할 수 있을까?
엘리야는 하나님의 말씀을 따라
3년 6개월동안 가뭄이 든 이스라엘로 올라간다.
그리고 자기의 목숨을 노리는 아합에게 나아가
하나님의 살아계심을 증거하는 결투를 신청한다.
온 이스라엘 사람들과
바알과 아세라 선지자 400, 450명을 갈멜산으로 부르시오.
그리고 그들과 그곳에서 대결한다.
이 대결은 하나님이 참으로 유치한 이간들을 위하여
가장 인가ㅓㄴ적인 방법으로 그들에게 하나님의 살아계심을 보이신 것이리라.
하나님이 이리하지 않으셔도
하나님은 온 세계의 주권자 되시는 하나님이심은 변함이 없을 터이다.
그러나 하나님은 연약하고 어리석은 이간을 위하여
그들의 방식으로 하나님의 살아계심과
주권을 보이시기를 주저하지 않으셨다.
이 대결에 앞선 선지자 엘리야의 일성을 들어보라
Elijah went before the people and said,
"How long will you waver between two opinions?
If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
But the people said nothing.
But the people said nothing.
바로 이엇이 우리의 보습이다.
하나님의 자녀임에도 불구하고
하나님과 다른 우상 사이를 왔다갔다하는 어리석음
그 사이에서 결단을 요구하는 선지자의 외침 앞에서
아무 대답없이 눈치보는 부끄러움
그들은 하나님의 살아계심을 확신 하지 못하였을 뿐 아니라
우상 바알의 힘을 무시하지도 못하고 있는 것이다.
이들의 다음 모습은 우리를 더욱 처연하게 한다.
Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD.
The god who answers by fire--he is God.
"Then all the people said, "What you say is good."
불로 응답하는 신이 참 하나님이라는
엘리야의 피맺힌 외침에
백성은 "그 말이 옳다"고 대답한다.
하나님을 선택할 것을 요구하는 외침에는 조용하던 그들이
참 심을 선택할 기회를 얻기를 원하는 것이다.
그리고 그들은
하나님의 응답을 보고서야 비로소 하나님 앞에 업\ㅍ드리고
울며 회개하고 있는 것을 본다.
우리의 모습이 이러하지 않은가?
하나님과 세상 사이를 왔다갔다하다가
하나님의 살아계심을 우리의 눈으로
우리의 어리석음을 깨우칠 모습으로 발견하고서야
하나님이 우리를 향하여 마지막 선택을 하실 떄에야
미로소 하나님을 섬기기로 하는 모습
그러나 이러한 감정이 얼마를 가겠으며
이 얄팍한 믿음을 하나님이 기뻐하시겠는가?
오늘도 우리는 나를 돌아볼 것이다.
하나님의 말씀에 순종하는 자로 살아가는 삶을 말이다....
