Elijah

Elijah was one of the most powerful prophets in the Old Testament, known for his dramatic confrontations with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. During a time when Israel had turned to worship false gods under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, Elijah called the nation back to the true God. He performed miracles, including raising a widow's son from the dead and calling fire from heaven. He was taken to heaven in a whirlwind with a chariot of fire, and is expected to return before the Messiah.
