Elijah before the Broom Tree

You know the story - Elijah on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings:18.  What a mighty display of power defeating the prophets of Baal.   After they tried to have their god light the fire on the altar and failed, Elijah had water poured all over the altar soaking everything and then asked God to show His power.  Fire came down from heaven burning the offering, the altar and the rocks and the soil.
