The LORD’s triumph over Baal is really a triumph over the human heart – a heart that is set againstGod – mute, blind, deaf and dead to the love and truth of God. On Mount Carmel the righteous judgment of God came down from heaven, but it came in a way that not only demonstrated his power but in a surprising way that poured out grace upon his enemies. As Elijah intercedes for the people before God, we find that the LORD is a God who turns hearts back to himself. The love, grace, and atonement found in Jesus Christ alone is foreshadowed in this triumphant victory of the LORD over Baal and over human rebellion as he grants salvation through judgment.
