7. Discalced Carmelite Order Muhraqa Monastery

The statue of Elijah the Prophet prevails in victory over the setting at Muhraqa (the place of burning), where before the Israelites, the 450 Prophets of Baal could not receive any response from their false Canaanite god Baal, to ignite their alter fire for sacrifice of an offered bull. Elijah prepared his alter to our God, laid the wood and deeply soaked it with water three times, then filled the surrounding trench with more water. God miraculously provided the fire upon the water-permeated wood and burned the offered sacrificial bull, proving to the people of Israel that He is The Lord, as written in the book of Kings. The false prophets of Baal were executed at the Kishon Brook below, then the long enduring drought in Israel ceased. Located on the summit of Mount Carmel in a peaceful setting with lush gardens, this is an ideal place to worship, both outside or inside the small Carmelite Monastery. We gasped in awe as we climbed the steps to the rooftop lookout, revealing unexpected, expansive views. Signage on the sides of the surrounding walls point to significant historical landmarks of Israel. We shuddered as Israeli fighter jets flew practice flights over the Jezreel Valley, a glimpse at the future battleground site of "Armageddon".
