Auf der Suche nach Regen

Elijah stands on a windswept hillside overlooking the sea, watching the horizon after the long drought over Israel. The bare trees and sparse landscape recall the famine that followed Israel’s rebellion, while the open sky and distant water point toward the promised mercy of God. The scene reflects the moment after Mount Carmel when Elijah declared that rain was coming and sent his servant to look toward the sea. In 1 Kings 18, the prophet’s watchful waiting becomes an act of faith: before the storm appears, he trusts the word of the Lord. This artwork is suited for teaching on prayer, perseverance, repentance, drought, famine, and God’s power to restore a land.
