Answer:
Elijah proved that Yahweh is the only true God by challenging the prophets of Baal to a spiritual showdown and did what Baal cannot.
Explanation:
Elijah confronts King Ajab and challenges him to a spiritual showdown. King Ajab gathered the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah in Mt. Carmel.
Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to prepare a bull as an offering to their god Baal and light it with no fire. Elijah will also do the same.
The prophets of Baal cried from morning till midday, but nothing happens. Then Elijah took his turn, he cried to Yahweh saying: "Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that these people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice. God did what Baal could never do. Through this, Elijah proved that Yahweh is the only true God and Baal is a false god.
(1 Kings 18:15-39)
