Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Elijah the Tishbite came before the King of Israel and prophesied that it would not rain for 3 1/2 years. Who was the king in Israel at this time?

Answer: Ahab

Ahab was King in Israel at this time (I Kings 17:1). He worshiped Baal and did more evil in the sight of the Lord than all the kings that were before him (I Kings 16:30-31).

2. The Lord sent Elijah to the Brook Cherith to hide after he prophesied that there would be no rain. He told Elijah to drink from the brook and that He would send these birds to feed him.

Answer: ravens

The Lord commanded the ravens to feed Elijah (I Kings 17:4). They brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening (I Kings 17:6).

Answer: die

Because the widow only had a little flour and oil, she planned to make the last meal for herself and her son and was prepared to die (I Kings 17:8-12). Elijah told her not to fear, but to make him a small cake first. Because she did what he said, the bin of flour was not used up and the jar of oil did not run dry, and they "ate for many days" (I Kings 17:13-16).

Answer: 3

Elijah stretched himself over the boy three times. When he brought the boy to his mother, she then knew that Elijah was a man of God. (I Kings 17:17-22)

Answer: pulled out their hair

The 450 prophets of Baal called upon their god, then leaped upon the altar, and finally cut themselves. They got no answer from their god (I Kings 18:23-29). Elijah had water poured on his altar and called on the Lord. Fire came down and consumed the bull, the altar, and the water. (I Kings 18:30-38)

Answer: a cloud as small as a man's hand

The seventh time, the servant saw "a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea" (I Kings 18:43-44). Soon, clouds filled the sky and there was a heavy downpour. (I Kings 18:45)

Answer: a still small voice

The Lord passed by and caused a strong wind, an earthquake, and a fire, but He was not in them. Then there was a still small voice, and Elijah came out and talked to the Lord (I Kings 19:11-14). The Lord then sent him to anoint new kings over Syria and Israel, and to anoint Elisha to take his place as prophet (I Kings 19:15-16).

8. The Lord sent Elijah to prophesy the deaths of the king of Israel and his family. What did Elijah say would happen to the king's wife when she died?

Answer: the dogs would eat her

Elijah prophesied that the "dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel" (I Kings 21:23). This was later fulfilled in II Kings 9:30-37.

Answer: a fire consumed them

The first two times Ahaziah sent a captain and his men, Elijah answered the captain, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." Then fire came down and consumed them. (II Kings 1:9-12) The third captain pleaded with Elijah to spare his life.

The angel of the Lord told him to go, so Elijah went to Ahaziah. Again he told him that he shall surely die, and soon after, Ahaziah died. (II Kings 1:13-17)

10. When Elijah finished his work, he was taken up to the Lord in a whirlwind. How did he go up in the whirlwind?

Answer: nothing, it just took him up where he stood

Despite popular belief, Elijah did not ride the chariot of fire. A chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire and separated Elijah from Elisha. Elijah then went up in the whirlwind (II Kings 2:11) riding the winds. Elisha, Elijah's successor, saw it and received a double portion of Elijah's spirit (II Kings 2:9,10,12).
