Today's Israel Inspiration In ancient Canaanite culture, high places such as mountains and hilltops, were often considered sacred and special; Mount Carmel among them. In the book of Kings, we read that there was an altar to God on Mount Carmel, but it had most unfortunately fallen into ruin by the time King Ahab took the throne. Elijah the Prophet pooled his resources and built a new altar which then became the site of one of the Bible's most well-known scenes. It was on Mount Carmel that Elijah offered a sacrifice to God in a request for rain in the Land of Israel. When God answered the prophet's prayer, and rain began to fall, multitudes of Israel's Jews were immediately inspired and once again recognized Hashem as the true God. This was a pivotal moment in Jewish history when the prophet proved God's omnipotence even in the face of countless nonbelievers.
