Hello, boys and girls,
00:00:29.66\00:00:30.99
and welcome to Bible Buzz,
00:00:31.03\00:00:33.36
where we learn
stories from the...
00:00:33.40\00:00:35.80
B-I-B-L-E.
00:00:35.83\00:00:37.90
That's right.
00:00:37.93\00:00:39.27
And after we hear a story,
00:00:39.30\00:00:40.64
then we quiz you to see
just how much you remembered.
00:00:40.67\00:00:44.44
And my name is Christian Martin,
00:00:44.47\00:00:46.14
and I'm not alone here today
00:00:46.17\00:00:47.64
I have my sidekick, Neto.
00:00:47.68\00:00:50.75
Let's welcome Neto, everyone.
00:00:50.78\00:00:52.68
Let's give Neto a hand.
00:00:52.71\00:00:54.05
Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
00:00:54.08\00:00:55.42
Let's give Neto a hand.
00:00:55.45\00:00:56.79
And Neto deserves a good hand.
00:00:56.82\00:00:58.92
So, you're from Brazil, right?
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.36
Born and raised.
00:01:00.39\00:01:01.72
What language do
they speak in Brazil?
00:01:01.76\00:01:03.09
Portuguese.
00:01:03.12\00:01:04.46
Portuguese!
00:01:04.49\00:01:05.83
You guys know how to say,
00:01:05.86\00:01:07.20
hi, in Portuguese?
00:01:07.23\00:01:09.10
No.
00:01:09.13\00:01:10.47
Oi. Can you say, Oi?
00:01:10.50\00:01:11.83
Oi.
00:01:11.87\00:01:13.20
Oi, everyone.
00:01:13.23\00:01:14.57
Oi, Neto. Oi.
00:01:14.60\00:01:15.94
Oi, Neto.
00:01:15.97\00:01:17.31
All right, we gotta make
him feel at home, you know.
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.01
And for those watching at home,
00:01:19.04\00:01:20.98
we're so glad you've tuned in,
00:01:21.01\00:01:22.78
because we want you to be
a part of this experience.
00:01:22.81\00:01:25.11
We're gonna have
a good time today,
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.58
with two teams.
00:01:26.61\00:01:27.95
We got the red
team and the blue team.
00:01:27.98\00:01:30.12
Team number one, let's
welcome, The Cardinals.
00:01:30.15\00:01:34.19
The Cardinals are here today.
00:01:34.22\00:01:36.66
And we also welcome, The Eagles.
00:01:36.69\00:01:39.46
Team number two, The Eagles.
00:01:39.49\00:01:41.90
All right, two awesome teams,
00:01:41.93\00:01:44.03
and they're with us here today.
00:01:44.07\00:01:45.57
Ready to hear yet another story,
00:01:45.60\00:01:47.74
and answer questions at the end.
00:01:47.77\00:01:49.74
So, Neto, I say we
go right into the story.
00:01:49.77\00:01:51.47
What do you think?
00:01:51.51\00:01:52.84
I say, yes,
let's go to the story.
00:01:52.87\00:01:54.21
I think so.
00:01:54.24\00:01:55.58
All right.
00:01:55.61\00:01:56.95
Today's story takes us
back to the Old Testament.
00:01:56.98\00:01:59.38
Here we find the
nation of Israel,
00:01:59.41\00:02:02.05
the nation of Israel.
00:02:02.08\00:02:03.42
Now, Israel has a long history
00:02:03.45\00:02:09.46
of good kings and bad kings.
00:02:09.49\00:02:12.06
No, not just bad kings.
00:02:12.09\00:02:14.00
Really, really,
really, bad kings.
00:02:14.03\00:02:18.37
So bad that it's
an embarrassment.
00:02:18.40\00:02:21.14
These are bad guys.
00:02:21.17\00:02:22.70
And so Israel has good kings
00:02:22.74\00:02:24.77
and bad kings and whatnot.
00:02:24.81\00:02:27.08
And one king in particular,
00:02:27.11\00:02:28.84
his name was Ahab.
00:02:28.88\00:02:30.71
Have you heard of Ahab?
00:02:30.75\00:02:32.15
Yeah.
00:02:32.18\00:02:33.58
What's your guess, guys?
00:02:33.62\00:02:34.95
Was he a good
king or a bad king?
00:02:34.98\00:02:37.05
Bad.
00:02:37.09\00:02:38.52
Scored.
00:02:38.55\00:02:39.89
He was a bad king,
00:02:39.92\00:02:41.26
and he was a bad king,
00:02:41.29\00:02:42.62
because he didn't get
along with the prophets of God.
00:02:42.66\00:02:46.13
I mean, God would send prophets
00:02:46.16\00:02:49.00
to be able to communicate
00:02:49.03\00:02:50.37
messages that were important
00:02:50.40\00:02:51.77
for people to
do the will of God.
00:02:51.80\00:02:53.64
But these kings, they
didn't want to do anything.
00:02:53.67\00:02:55.80
They didn't want to
know anything about that,
00:02:55.84\00:02:57.67
because why?
00:02:57.71\00:02:59.04
Because they wanted to
do their own thing, Neto,
00:02:59.07\00:03:01.78
is it ever good for us
to want to do our own thing?
00:03:01.81\00:03:06.08
It's not always good, is it?
00:03:06.11\00:03:07.45
We should do the
things that God asks us to do,
00:03:07.48\00:03:09.82
Precisely.
00:03:09.85\00:03:11.35
So Ahab wanted
to do his own thing.
00:03:11.39\00:03:14.92
He didn't want to
be told what to do.
00:03:14.96\00:03:17.86
Does that sound
like us sometimes?
00:03:17.89\00:03:19.96
Mmm.
00:03:20.00\00:03:21.86
Sometimes, sometimes, right?
00:03:21.90\00:03:23.23
You should ask my mom.
00:03:23.26\00:03:24.60
This is human nature.
00:03:24.63\00:03:25.97
We don't want to
be told what to do.
00:03:26.00\00:03:27.34
We want to do,
what we want to do.
00:03:27.37\00:03:29.27
Well, this was King Ahab.
00:03:29.30\00:03:31.87
And you know what?
00:03:31.91\00:03:33.24
During this time,
00:03:33.27\00:03:34.61
Israel had a big
problem with these bad kings.
00:03:34.64\00:03:36.85
You know why they were bad?
00:03:36.88\00:03:38.45
Because they
couldn't make up their minds.
00:03:38.48\00:03:40.42
They served God
00:03:40.45\00:03:42.68
and they served
the gods of Baal.
00:03:42.72\00:03:45.22
They had two masters,
00:03:45.25\00:03:47.49
if you want to put it that way.
00:03:47.52\00:03:48.89
They had two Gods
00:03:48.92\00:03:50.26
and they didn't
make up their mind.
00:03:50.29\00:03:52.06
No wonder, no wonder
they had such a hard time.
00:03:52.09\00:03:54.76
They're all confused.
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.13
They were all confused.
00:03:56.16\00:03:57.67
They serve two Gods,
00:03:57.70\00:04:01.04
and one of those
prophets that King Ahab
00:04:01.07\00:04:04.01
just did not get along
with was the Prophet Elijah.
00:04:04.04\00:04:09.38
Oh, Elijah,
00:04:09.41\00:04:10.75
he was a true prophet of God.
00:04:10.78\00:04:13.31
And he told it straight
00:04:13.35\00:04:15.32
and King Ahab didn't like this.
00:04:15.35\00:04:18.02
And one day King Ahab
00:04:18.05\00:04:19.85
and Elijah are face to face.
00:04:19.89\00:04:21.99
And King Ahab tells Elijah, you,
00:04:22.02\00:04:25.16
you are a troubler of Israel.
00:04:25.19\00:04:29.00
Those are, those
are strong words.
00:04:29.03\00:04:30.87
That's what my mom calls me too.
00:04:30.90\00:04:33.60
My nickname at home.
00:04:33.64\00:04:34.97
Strong words,
00:04:35.00\00:04:36.34
you must have gone and you
must have done something...
00:04:36.37\00:04:37.84
No.
00:04:37.87\00:04:39.21
Oh, I don't know. I don't know.
00:04:39.24\00:04:41.48
But, but, but, but man,
00:04:41.51\00:04:43.08
King Ahab, he was not happy.
00:04:43.11\00:04:45.21
And he blamed
Elijah for a famine
00:04:45.25\00:04:47.75
that had just taken place.
00:04:47.78\00:04:49.92
And so Elijah,
00:04:49.95\00:04:51.55
just stood up
before the king and said,
00:04:51.59\00:04:53.62
"Listen, King,
listen, enough is enough.
00:04:53.66\00:04:58.29
We're having all these problems
00:04:58.33\00:04:59.76
because you can't
make up your mind.
00:04:59.79\00:05:02.43
You think you serve God,
00:05:02.46\00:05:04.07
but you also worship Baal.
00:05:04.10\00:05:05.83
Come on King,
00:05:05.87\00:05:07.20
you can't have it both ways.
00:05:07.24\00:05:08.74
You have to choose
who you will serve.
00:05:08.77\00:05:12.57
And so this is what
we're gonna do King,
00:05:12.61\00:05:14.88
we're gonna have a showdown.
00:05:14.91\00:05:16.44
I want to meet at
Mount Carmel with 400 and,
00:05:16.48\00:05:20.65
let's make it 50,
00:05:20.68\00:05:22.02
450 of your prophets of Baal,
00:05:22.05\00:05:24.72
and I'm going to meet
them up at the mountaintop,
00:05:24.75\00:05:27.19
and we gonna have a show down.
00:05:27.22\00:05:28.69
I'll see you there."
00:05:28.72\00:05:30.29
And so then Elijah left.
00:05:30.33\00:05:32.53
And soon enough,
00:05:32.56\00:05:34.10
there was a huge gathering
00:05:34.13\00:05:35.46
of people on Mount Carmel.
00:05:35.50\00:05:37.10
What did they do?
00:05:37.13\00:05:38.47
They sang or they, they...
00:05:38.50\00:05:39.83
Oh, man, the word got out.
00:05:39.87\00:05:41.20
This was gonna be a
showdown, Neto, a showdown.
00:05:41.24\00:05:43.84
Like a dancing one?
00:05:43.87\00:05:45.21
Oh, yeah, there
was some dancing,
00:05:45.24\00:05:46.57
we'll get to that in a minute.
00:05:46.61\00:05:47.94
So, all these prophets
show up and hundreds, no,
00:05:47.98\00:05:51.48
maybe even thousands of people
00:05:51.51\00:05:53.11
show up to the mountaintop.
00:05:53.15\00:05:54.82
And here's Elijah all
by himself standing tall,
00:05:54.85\00:05:57.85
he was, brave.
00:05:57.89\00:05:59.22
He was not afraid.
00:05:59.25\00:06:00.59
But he was alone.
00:06:00.62\00:06:01.96
And then on this side,
00:06:01.99\00:06:03.32
he had, imagine,
450 prophets of Baal,
00:06:03.36\00:06:06.80
and they look pretty scary,
00:06:06.83\00:06:08.33
I would think.
00:06:08.36\00:06:09.70
Really? Oh, yeah,
00:06:09.73\00:06:11.07
prophets of Baal, Neto.
00:06:11.10\00:06:12.43
They were scary kind of guys.
00:06:12.47\00:06:14.54
Yeah, face paint
and all kinds of stuff.
00:06:14.57\00:06:17.74
They look, they
looked really scary.
00:06:17.77\00:06:20.18
And so this was the test.
00:06:20.21\00:06:21.64
They made an agreement,
00:06:21.68\00:06:23.35
they said, all right,
this is what we're gonna do.
00:06:23.38\00:06:24.71
We're gonna build two altars,
00:06:24.75\00:06:26.48
and we're going to
provide a sacrifice
00:06:26.51\00:06:30.09
on top of each altar.
00:06:30.12\00:06:31.99
And then we're going to do this.
00:06:32.02\00:06:34.59
Prophets of Baal, you're going
to have to call upon your gods,
00:06:34.62\00:06:39.13
and I'm gonna have
to call upon my God,
00:06:39.16\00:06:42.56
and whoever answers by fire,
00:06:42.60\00:06:45.10
he is the true God.
00:06:45.13\00:06:47.97
And the prophets
of Baal said, deal.
00:06:48.00\00:06:51.14
And so, Elijah said, you start.
00:06:51.17\00:06:53.98
And so all the prophets of Baal
00:06:54.01\00:06:55.34
got together around that altar,
00:06:55.38\00:06:58.05
and, Neto, you got
a good imagination.
00:06:58.08\00:07:00.35
What did the
prophets of Baal start to do?
00:07:00.38\00:07:03.28
Dancing?
00:07:03.32\00:07:04.65
They did. They did,
can you demonstrate, Neto?
00:07:04.69\00:07:07.06
They yelled a little
bit. Can you demonstrate?
00:07:07.09\00:07:08.42
Yeah, yeah, demonstrate.
00:07:08.46\00:07:09.79
Something like that.
00:07:11.26\00:07:12.59
And Elijah was like...
00:07:12.63\00:07:15.80
What was that?
00:07:15.83\00:07:17.17
That was a dance.
00:07:17.20\00:07:18.53
You gotta be a
little crazie than that,
00:07:18.57\00:07:19.93
because obviously you
didn't get their attention.
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.30
Come on, do a
little crazier dance.
00:07:22.34\00:07:24.24
And Elijah was like,
00:07:27.08\00:07:30.65
maybe a little louder
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.01
because they didn't hear you.
00:07:32.05\00:07:34.52
So a little louder, please.
00:07:34.55\00:07:36.45
Fire, down.
00:07:39.82\00:07:41.19
And Elijah was like,
00:07:41.22\00:07:43.02
you know what?
00:07:43.06\00:07:44.39
Maybe they're away.
00:07:44.43\00:07:45.86
Maybe they're away on vacation.
00:07:45.89\00:07:48.23
Elijah was like
being so hilarious.
00:07:48.26\00:07:50.67
He was telling
the prophets of Baal.
00:07:50.70\00:07:52.60
Your gods aren't
listening to you.
00:07:52.63\00:07:55.00
Well, duh, because the prophets,
00:07:55.04\00:07:58.31
the gods of Baal
were not true gods.
00:07:58.34\00:08:02.24
They were not listening
00:08:02.28\00:08:03.61
because the gods
of Baal were gods
00:08:03.65\00:08:06.51
of stone and of rock.
00:08:06.55\00:08:08.55
They didn't, they were not like
the true God that hears prayer.
00:08:08.58\00:08:12.35
Not only were they doing
crazy dances and weird sounds,
00:08:12.39\00:08:16.02
these guys were
cutting themselves.
00:08:16.06\00:08:18.36
It was pretty,
pretty crazy scene.
00:08:18.39\00:08:21.86
They were cutting themselves
00:08:21.90\00:08:23.23
and making all
this mess and noise.
00:08:23.26\00:08:26.33
And nothing, guys,
00:08:26.37\00:08:28.07
nothing happened, nothing.
00:08:28.10\00:08:31.07
And after a while Elijah said,
00:08:31.11\00:08:32.44
all right, guys, step aside.
00:08:32.47\00:08:33.98
It's my turn.
00:08:34.01\00:08:35.34
And Elijah
stepped up to the altar.
00:08:35.38\00:08:37.31
And he looked up towards heaven.
00:08:37.35\00:08:38.68
But before he did that,
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.05
he thought to himself,
00:08:40.08\00:08:41.42
these guys are
going to think I'm going
00:08:41.45\00:08:42.78
to pull a fast one here.
00:08:42.82\00:08:44.15
So he said, just to be sure
00:08:44.19\00:08:45.52
that the people
don't think I'm cheating.
00:08:45.55\00:08:46.99
I'm going to ask people
00:08:47.02\00:08:48.36
to come throw buckets,
00:08:48.39\00:08:50.39
buckets of water on the altar,
00:08:50.43\00:08:52.16
just soak it with water,
00:08:52.19\00:08:53.76
so that nobody will say later,
00:08:53.80\00:08:56.13
it was a trick.
00:08:56.16\00:08:57.67
Someone put fire under the altar
00:08:57.70\00:08:59.33
when we weren't watching.
00:08:59.37\00:09:00.70
Elijah's gonna
say no, no, no, no.
00:09:00.74\00:09:02.77
Cover this place with water.
00:09:02.80\00:09:04.24
And they will
know that there is no,
00:09:04.27\00:09:06.27
there is no joke here.
00:09:06.31\00:09:07.91
This is serious stuff, serious.
00:09:07.94\00:09:09.28
What happened?
00:09:09.31\00:09:10.65
And so Elijah
stood up before God,
00:09:10.68\00:09:12.91
and before all the people
00:09:12.95\00:09:14.42
and he said a simple prayer,
00:09:14.45\00:09:15.98
boys and girls, he said,
00:09:16.02\00:09:17.89
Lord, God, the God of Israel,
00:09:17.92\00:09:20.86
hear me today,
00:09:20.89\00:09:22.22
show these people
that You are the true God.
00:09:22.26\00:09:27.63
That's basically what he said,
00:09:27.66\00:09:29.13
straight prayer, very direct.
00:09:29.16\00:09:31.50
And, boys and girls,
00:09:31.53\00:09:33.34
what happened next,
00:09:33.37\00:09:34.97
we cannot even
imagine what that looked like.
00:09:35.00\00:09:38.37
It must have been absolutely
00:09:38.41\00:09:40.21
breathtaking to see this, this,
00:09:40.24\00:09:43.14
this, this fire
coming down from heaven,
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.05
a straight shot all
the way down from heaven,
00:09:46.08\00:09:48.35
straight into the altar
00:09:48.38\00:09:49.72
and consuming this altar.
00:09:49.75\00:09:54.16
And the people were just like,
00:09:54.19\00:09:57.23
they couldn't
believe what they saw.
00:09:57.26\00:09:58.73
Their mouth just dropped open,
00:09:58.76\00:10:00.90
when they saw fire coming down
00:10:00.93\00:10:03.67
from heaven and
consuming that altar,
00:10:03.70\00:10:05.33
and all they could say, guys,
00:10:05.37\00:10:06.90
all they could say was, wow!
00:10:06.94\00:10:10.01
The Lord, He is God.
00:10:10.04\00:10:11.87
The Lord, He is God.
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.78
Maybe you can say that with me.
00:10:13.81\00:10:15.14
If you're watching from home,
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.51
join us, alrighty,
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.88
let's say that on
the count of three.
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.25
One, two, three.
00:10:19.28\00:10:20.62
The Lord, He is God.
00:10:20.65\00:10:21.98
Again.
00:10:22.02\00:10:23.35
The Lord, He is God.
00:10:23.39\00:10:24.92
That's what the
people began to say.
00:10:24.95\00:10:27.19
And you know what, guys?
00:10:27.22\00:10:28.56
That day, God,
00:10:28.59\00:10:29.92
the true God was glorified.
00:10:29.96\00:10:32.49
And there was no compromise
00:10:32.53\00:10:34.86
among the people
because they finally
00:10:34.90\00:10:37.33
made a choice,
the Lord, He is God.
00:10:37.37\00:10:41.90
That's our story for today.
00:10:41.94\00:10:43.27
And we're going
to be back in just
00:10:43.30\00:10:44.67
a few moments where we're going
00:10:44.71\00:10:46.07
to be quizzed to see
just how much we remember.
00:10:46.11\00:10:49.64
We'll be right back.
00:10:49.68\00:10:51.35
