The 19th chapter of the 1st Book of Kings is both sobering and uplifting. I'm sure that you are familiar with it. Jezebel had just taken an oath to find and kill Elijah who in turn then fled into the wilderness. This is sobering because Jezebel's pledge of revenge is so similar to what is happening in America today. The prophets of the godless globalist establishment elites who have essentially over time destroyed that part of America's heritage that was good and righteous were themselves nearly obliterated in the primaries and general election of 2016 but they have come back with a vengeance, determined to once and for all eliminate this Christian influence that has caused them severe problems since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980.
At times it's as if we also no longer seem to have the strength to row against the wind and tide, or to stand alone if necessary. God sat Elijah down for a conversation and instructions and it's fascinating to read. Elijah began lamenting that he was all alone. No one else was holding firm in opposing Israel's worship of the Baals. God then let Elijah know in no uncertain terms that He had reserved 7000 in Israel whose knee had not "bowed to Baal." Well, God surely has left a large remnant in America that have not bowed to Baal..... may He....should it be His will to have mercy upon us.... unleash them in our pulpits and in the public square.
