ONE HUNDRED and two men of the army of Israel had been burned to death by lightning. They had defied God and attempted to arrest Elijah and to take him to Samaria. (II Kings 1:1-12.) When fifty more approached the prophet, their captain fell to his knees before Elijah and asked for mercy. Soldiers Learn a Lesson; "We heard about how fire came down from the sky to consume those who came before us," the humbled officer told Elijah. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
