1Ki 18:39-40 | MHM | STEP | v. 39-40 : The people fall on their faces and cry out, "The LORD, He is God!" Yet, while many are convinced by this miracle, not all are truly converted. Elijah orders the people to seize the prophets of Baal, who are then executed according to the law that forbids leading Israel into idolatry (Deuteronomy 13:1-11 ). Ahab does not resist, being momentarily overwhelmed by fear. This event shows that God is just and will not tolerate the worship of false gods (1 Kings 18:39-40 ).
