1Ki 18:25-29 | MHM | STEP | v. 25-29 : The prophets of Baal go first. They pray loudly and for a long time, crying, "O Baal, hear us!" They jump and dance around the altar, and even cut themselves with knives in desperate hope that their god will respond. Elijah mocks them, suggesting their god might be busy or asleep. But despite their efforts, there is no answer—Baal is powerless. This shows the emptiness of idol worship (Deuteronomy 14:1; Revelation 13:13-14 ). The prophets of Baal exhaust themselves, but nothing happens (1 Kings 18:25-29 ).
