Elijah Repairs the Altar

Elijah stands on a barren hillside, setting stones into place as he rebuilds the broken altar of the Lord. The dry wilderness setting and simple ancient garments emphasize the prophetic confrontation on Mount Carmel, where Elijah called Israel back from divided worship to covenant faithfulness. In 1 Kings 18, the repaired altar becomes a visible act of repentance before God answers by fire, revealing that the Lord alone is God. This image is suited for teaching on prophetic courage, true worship, repentance, spiritual renewal, and the story of Elijah against the prophets of Baal.
