Elijah on Mount Carmel
Elijah challenged 450 prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel; Baal was silent, but God answered Elijah's prayer with fire from heaven, and then sent rain.
When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”
1 Kings 18:39 (World English Bible)
Elijah called the people to stop limping between two opinions. The prophets of Baal shouted, danced, and cut themselves from morning till evening with no answer. Elijah rebuilt Yahweh's altar, drenched the sacrifice with water three times, and prayed a simple prayer. Fire fell and consumed everything, even the water in the trench.
The people fell on their faces, and soon a small cloud rose from the sea and the drought broke.
