Who is your possessor?
Reading the Bible in Hebrew, in the book of 1 Kings 18 / מלכים א -18, we see the word Baal - בעל several times.
Baal means master lord. At the time of the biblical passage meant "possessor."
In Hebrew, it is very strong to refer or invoke your Baal, for it is invoking its possessor, the one to whom the person really belongs, to whom he gave his life.
Nowadays, here in Israel, the word Baal is used to show the relationship of man to his wife, so the word Baalí means "my husband" or "my possessor."
In 1 Kings 18, we see the prophets repeatedly crying out to their Baal, to the Baalim (plural) and to have no answer. As for us, who has been our possessor?
The answer is only one: If God is our Lord, if we truly surrender our life to Him, then He is our possessor. And when we cry out, He will descend upon Mount Carmel with His Fire upon us.
In faith and with affection,
by Josi Boccoli
