That time I stood where God sent down fire | Mount Carmel

Our first day in Israel, I was fighting the exhaustion of jet lag when my tour guide said: "Next, we are going to stop at the highest point of Mount Carmel. This is where the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal happened." (1 Kings 18)

It was the first of many times I was like 😮. It's one of my favorite OT stories. I almost lost my mind. Turning to my friend, I shrieked, "That's OLD TESTAMENT! OLD TESTAMENT!"

The view there was a 360 degree view, looking out over the Valley of Armageddon. Impossible to fully capture with a camera... as well as the feeling of standing in the very place where God sent down fire to consume the altars. Wow wow wow. #israel #apictureadayofIsrael
