Elijah site game – Finish

Correct!

   Keren-Carmel (horn of Carmel) is a hill (474M) on the south-eastern side of mount Carmel. On the hill, covered with bush,  is a small Carmelite order church which commemorates the victory of prophet Elijah over the Baal prophets. In the front yard of the church is a remarkable statue of the Prophet Elijah slaughtering a Baal prophet, and on its terrace is a beautiful panorama.

    The Bible tells the contest of Elijah and the false prophets. After the match, Elijah asks his servant to check if the rain is coming

    (1 Kings 18): “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain”.
