3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron?


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 3. Wherefore Divine Truth from Divine Love revealed in the Word of the Lord, leading the souls of men, drawing them, and dwelling in them, is elevated in the understanding of the corrupted man, and opposed to his falsities, dictating that the way of salvation ought to be sought for in the interior truth of the church, and not in the extreme falsities of faith alone which is barren and desolate.
