INTRODUCTION:
Elijah: A prophet of God A man who challenged an entire nation of Baals (pagan
gods) manifesting his great faith in Jehovah, having defeated the Baal prophets,
and was in a cave fearful of Jezebel's threats, and God had to deal with him.
Widows: Israelite law has dealt with widows in a special way, because together
with orphans and foreigners, they formed the most disadvantaged stratum of the
population. Widow (at that time and culture) was a woman who did not receive
financial aid or social protection from any male, either because her husband had
died, either because she was abandoned and left alone, without parents, siblings
or relatives taking care of her.

Zarephath: From the Hebrew "Tsarephath" which means Refinery place or
workshop (Because God allows you to get to where I can work with you and
where you can know it even more).
This was a pagan nation, corrupt and idolatrous, and God allowed it not to rain for
three and a half years. Elijah by order of Jehovah went to live in the stream of
Cherith, and because of the drought, this stream dried up and God took him to
another place. (to Zarephath)
“Believing in God”: It is trusting in Him, in His Word, in His promises. Believing
God is the basis of all God's dealings with man. It is more than just believing in
God.
