God in his labors to restore the true worship of<br />

Jehovah; is it to end in his disappointment and<br />

death? Is this the conversion of apostate Israel?<br />

Never could man be more disappointed in his<br />

expectations. <strong>The</strong> reaction has come, but O, how<br />

bitter. <strong>The</strong> Lord suffers obstacles to arise,<br />

disappointments to follow on the heels of signal<br />

victory that His wisdom and power shall be<br />

revealed, and that His name shall be exalted above<br />

all rulers and kings. "When Elijah saw that, he fled<br />

for his life."<br />

What did Elijah see? Did he see by faith the<br />

promises of God? Did he recount his faithfulness in<br />

every past emergency? No, the dark shadow of<br />

Satan in his agent Jezebel was athwart his pathway,<br />

threatening him with cruel death. He did not look<br />

through the shadow heavenward. Human terror<br />

amazed, and paralysed his mind, and he was so<br />

terribly disappointed on Israel's account that he<br />

arose and went for his life, in disappointment and<br />

sorrow bending his uncertain steps, he knew not<br />

whither.
