Elijah Repairs the Altar

Elijah's altar is being restored on a barren, rocky height as two robed men bend over a mound of gathered stones. The exposed hillside and open sky create a stark setting for covenant worship, recalling the confrontation on Mount Carmel where the prophet rebuilt the altar of the LORD before Israel. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah used stones to restore what had been broken down, preparing the sacrifice before God answered by fire. The scene emphasizes true worship, repentance, and the public declaration that the LORD alone is God. This artwork serves sermon, Bible study, and teaching themes on prophetic courage, idolatry, prayer, and the turning of hearts back to God.
