Angel Anger B Ring Cake Elijah Flees Israel Jezebel Juniper Kindly Prophet Starve Testament Ahab
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts a pivotal moment in the Old Testament narrative of the prophet Elijah's flight from the wrath of Jezebel, the queen of Ahab, king of Israel. According to the biblical account, Elijah had angered Jezebel by predicting a drought and prophesying against her idolatrous husband Ahab and his Baal prophets. Fearing for his life, Elijah fled into the wilderness, where he would have perished had it not been for the kindness of an angel. The photo print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the desolate and arid landscape of the wilderness, with Elijah lying under the sheltering branches of a juniper tree. The angel, unseen but for the ethereal rays of light emanating from his wings, has brought Elijah sustenance in the form of a cake and a jug of water. The scene is one of stark contrasts: the barrenness of the wilderness juxtaposed with the nourishment provided by the angel; the imminent danger of Jezebel's wrath contrasted with the safety and protection offered by the divine being. The image is a powerful reminder of the sustaining power of faith and the provision of God, even in the most desperate of circumstances. The historical significance of this event in the Bible is immense, as it marks a turning point in the prophetic career of Elijah and the history of ancient Israel. This image, with its haunting beauty and evocative symbolism, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the sustaining grace of the divine.
