  Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the
  Inspired Word, which may, by the perverseness of their
  argument and the ingenuity of their surmise, be made to appear
  inconsistent with fact.  In this case, they are not satisfied
  with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied
  Elijah with food, while the brook gave him drink, but
  apparently to mystify a manifest miracle, they suggest whether
  these ravens might not be merchantmen, or the inhabitants of a
  neighboring town.  Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of
  the Bible take the whole history of Elijah, and he will find
  that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of
  God in his miraculous interpositions.  Instance the supply of
  provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil,
  after the prophet had removed to Zarephath:  the power
  communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death:  the
  wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of
  Baal's worshippers, in sending down fire from heaven to
  consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water, although the
  sacrifice had been saturated therewith, and the altar
  surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away.  The
  prayer for rain is another instance:  the sojourn in Horeb
  forty days and forty nights, after having eaten of the cake:
  the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice:  the smiting of
  the waters at Jordan:  the fall of the mantle on Elisha: and
  finally, in the closing scene of life, he was taken to glory
  without tasting the pains of death, the sting was taken away.
