The Time of the sacrifice
The sacrifice offered on the altar of the Lord was offered at the time of the evening sacrifice, which was given by God to Moses in the building of the tabernacle. However, the time of the evening sacrifice was also the time Christ was sacrificed on the cross. Elijah’s sacrifice was offered by faith as the same time Christ offered Himself.
Elijah’s Appeal to God
As Elijah’s prays He uses the name LORD GOD, a name that God choose to reveal Himself as the God who keeps His promises. Every believer has this assurance and confidence that God keeps His promises.
