The story of Elijah’s ministry is one of the most dramatic in the Bible. It is also placed in some very specific geographic locations. Elijah began his ministry east of the Jordan River, in the modern-day state of Jordan. He returned to this area in the Kerith Ravine after announcing a drought as God’s judgment on the northern kingdom of Israel. This video has footage of the Jordan River Valley and the river itself. Elijah had to cross the river in order to deliver his message to Ahab and Jezebel.
