Back to History 8 Fifth Mountain Readings
Example 1: "He had done things that caused me to doubt his wisdom, but never his existence. And thus the god of Israel asked that I tell the woman I met in Zarepath. "The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the curse of oil, until the day the lord sendeth rain upon the earth." Without explaining how such a miracle could come about, Elijah fainted.
Example 2:
For long moments nothing happened. Elijah saw himself back in Gilead, standing before the soldier with an arrow pointing at his heart, aware that oftentimes a man's fate has nothing to do with what he believes or
fears. He felt calm and confident as he had that day, knowing that, whatever the outcome might be, there was a reason that all of this had come to pass. Atop the Fifth Mountain, the angel had called this reason the “grandeur of God”; he hoped one day to understand why the Creator needed His creatures to demonstrate this glory.
It was then that the boy opened his eyes.
