The man of God gave proof to the people that these things would happen. He said, “This is proof that the Lord told me about. The Lord said, ‘This altar will break apart. And the ashes on it will fall onto the ground.”
God, give me a sign to show\par that you will help me.\par My enemies will see that sign,\par and they will be disappointed.\par That will show that you heard my prayer\par and that you will help me.\par \par \par
Also, how will we know if you are pleased with me and these people? If you go with us, then we will know for sure! If you don’t go with us, then I and these people will be no different than any other people on the earth.”
