  19:9  Pr 3:5  Mt 16:24  Joh 15:14 
   Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the
   Inspired Word, which may, by the perverseness of their
   argument and the ingenuity of their surmise, be made to appear
   inconsistent with fact.  In this case, they are not satisfied
   with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied
   Elijah with food, while the brook gave him drink, but
   apparently to mystify a manifest miracle, they suggest whether
   these ravens might not be merchantmen, or the inhabitants of a
   neighbouring town.  Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of
   the Bible take the whole history of Elijah, and he will find
   that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of
   God in his miraculous interpositions.  Instance the supply of
   provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil,
   after the prophet had removed to Zarephath:  the power
   communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death:  the
   wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of
   Baal's worshippers, in sending down fire from heaven to
   consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water, although the
   sacrifice had been saturated therewith, and the altar
   surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away.  The
   prayer for rain is another instance:  the sojourn in Horeb
   forty days and forty nights, after having eaten of the cake:
   the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice:  the smiting of
   the waters at Jordan:  the fall of the mantle on Elisha: and
   finally, in the closing scene of life, he was taken to glory
   without tasting the pains of death, the sting was taken away.
