Ironic, isn't it?

I was reading in the book, The Fifth Mountain, by Paulo Coelho (the author of The Alchemist) the account of Elijah when he was commanded by the Lord to go and say to King Ahab that until the children of Israel stopped their worship of Baal that the skies would be sealed and no rain would fall. I was reminded when reading this account that Baal was the Phoenician god of rain. Ironic, isn't it, that the Lord would send a prophet to say (in essence): You want to worship a false god of rain, then no rain for you!

Just a quick note I wanted to share.
