Mount Carmel Forests 

Biblical, Mt. Carmel is referenced most often as a symbol of beauty and fertility.  To be given the "splendor of Carmel" was to be blessed indeed (Isa 35:2).  Solomon praised his beloved: "your head crowns you like Mount Carmel" (Song 7:5).  But for Carmel to wither was a sign of devastating judgment (Nahum 1:4).

 

Fresh Water Streams during Spring

 Spring Season in Israel (Feb/March)

 

The statue at the Carmelite monastery reflects the Lord's victory over the prophets of Baal.  Shortly after fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice, altar and even the water, Elijah had the prophets of Baal slaughtered at the Brook Kishon.

This is probably the best view of the area of Elijah's contest, assuming tradition is correct.  The monastery of Muhraqa is at the top of the hill, but tradition places the contest slightly lower near a spring.  The crowds of Israelites would have filled the spacious territory around to see whose God would win.  Overlooking the Jezreel Valley.
