This person shows up in 1 Kings 18:1: “After many days, Yahweh’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Kings 18:1
“After many days, Yahweh’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.””
