Tonight, the themes of Elijah’s journey south come to a climax. Here we see Elijah’s complaint, and we see and hear God’s response to that complaint. Like Moses, Elijah met God on Sinai. And as He did to Moses, so God revealed Himself to Elijah as a God with power to judge and destroy who will avenge covenant-breaking, but also as a God with power to save who will never be without a host of worshippers. That’s the point of this story. It’s not directly about the solution to discouragement, or the alleged “revelation” of apophatic theology that God is to be found in the silence. No, this story exists to tell us about God’s power to judge covenant-breakers and His love to preserve a remnant for Himself.
