Questions about Elijah that make me think of Jesus

I've been working on a list of questions as I read the Old Testament. Here are some from the end of 1 Kings that have me thinking more about Jesus as prophet. The asterisks are for those that are best answered through an understanding of Messiah that is witnessed to in the New Testament and longed for in the Old.


*1 Kings 17:22, 24 What kind of communication with and from the Almighty should be expected from the true prophet of God?

*1 Kings 18:17-18 Why is it not that surprising that Elijah, a true prophet of Israel, should be called a troubler of Israel by Ahab?
1 Kings 18:29 What kind of true communication with God can be expected through false worship of false deities?
*1 Kings 18:36, 39 What was the point of Elijah's victory in his contest with the prophets of Baal?

1 Kings 19:1-3 How is it the Elijah could be afraid of Jezebel after God's vindication of him at Mount Carmel?
*1 Kings 19:8 How could the prophet of God live for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness without food?
*1 Kings 19:18 How big was the true Israel of God in the days of Elijah?

*1 Kings 20:13 How is it that the God of Israel still showed mercy to His people when so few were faithful to Him?
1 Kings 20:42-43 Why was God angry with Ahab in the matter of Ahab's mercy to Ben-hadad of Syria?

1 Kings 21:7 What was Jezebel's understanding of what it meant to govern Israel?
1 Kings 21:29 Could it be that God would respond even to a man like Ahab when he humbled himself before God?

*1 Kings 22:14, 28 What is the message of the true prophet of the Lord?
