While I was busy working and organizing stuff for my new vineyard, Elijah came to me and instantly I knew that bad news was about to come. He told that since I have sold myself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD, the LORD is going to bring disaster on me. This was Elijah's exact quote of the LORD, "I am going to bring disaster on you. I will consume your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel-slave or free. I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have caused Israel to sin." Then Elijah said, "And also concerning Jezebel the LORD says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. Dogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country.' "
When I heard those words, it stung my heart like Ehud striking an 18" inch sword into me. Ouch! I know that the LORD is lame and all but one thing that it isn't is false. I have learned that what the prophets say always finds a way to come true and it has so far. So I when I heard what Elijah said, I became scared. I tore my clothes, and then I put on a sackcloth and fasted. I lay in the sackcloth and went around meekly. Hopefully the god of Elijah will have compassion on me and lighten his punishment.
