Rabbi Schneider: 以色列国在亚哈王和耶洗别王后的统治下，由于巴力先知的偶像崇拜、邪恶行为和道德败坏而堕落腐败。以利亚，上帝忠诚的先知，向亚哈王和耶洗别王后挑战，要检验他们神的力量。他们欣然接受了挑战，全然不知造物主的全能有多么强大。以利亚是以色列最著名的先知，他的故事最终指向了耶稣，耶稣是更伟大的先知。以利亚是信仰和正义的孤柱，呼吁人们回归上帝。以利亚虽然不是战士或表演者，但他被推入了一个公开的信仰表演中。以利亚与巴力先知之间的对抗，展现了坚持信仰的重要性，即使面对反对。以利亚的例子是勇气、正直和为信仰而坚持的榜样。以利亚的故事中隐藏着一个悲剧：即使以色列人亲眼目睹了从天而降的火，他们仍然难以放弃偶像崇拜。以利亚的信仰并非建立在迹象和奇迹之上，而是建立在与上帝的亲密关系、联系和对上帝话语的认识上。耶稣是律法的应验和最终的先知，比摩西和以利亚更伟大。耶稣是更大的摩西，带领我们走向更大的解放；耶稣也比以利亚更重要，因为耶稣是神，而以利亚只是促成奇迹的人。上帝通过旋风向彼得强调，耶稣与摩西和以利亚的地位并不平等，耶稣是上帝的儿子。耶稣是更伟大的以利亚。
