And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:
1 Kings 19:11 — KJV
The Lord passed by. What Elijah needed most was a new vision of God’s strength and of his own weakness. It was at Sinai that the Lord had passed by before Moses, and revealed Himself as “the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Ex. 34:6). Here too Elijah was to receive a new conception of God.
Strong wind. As Elijah stepped out of the cave a storm swept across the mountain and an earthquake shook the ground. All seemed to be in commotion, with the heavens on fire and the earth convulsed by forces that seemed about to rend it asunder. All this was in tune with the convulsive spirit of the prophet. What he needed to learn was that, mighty and moving though these forces be, they do not of themselves portray a true picture of the Spirit of God. It is not always the man who creates the greatest commotion who accomplishes the most for God.
