“And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.”
1 Kings 18:39 KJV
All the people saw it happen and fell on their faces in awed worship, exclaiming, “God is the true God! God is the true God!” When Elijah asked the fire of God to consume the sacrifice, God sent the fire. Fear of God, awe and reverence filled all the people, whether Baal worshippers or YHWH worshippers. Moses had told the children of Israel that “For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” Yet they went after other gods. Isaiah prophesied about God, “Let all the world look to Me for salvation! For I Am God; there is no other. I have sworn by My Own Name ; I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on My Word: Every knee will bend to Me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to Me.” Paul said about Jesus, “that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” This is our lifestyle to lift up Jesus so He draws all men to Him. Amen!
