1 Kings 19:11

And he said, go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord ,.... Who would appear there as he had to Moses formerly, though not in the same manner:

and, behold, the Lord passed by ; or was about to pass, for as yet he had not; his messengers first went before him:

and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord ; strong enough to do all this, and so it might:

but the Lord was not in the wind ; as he sometimes is, Nahum 1:3 , he spake to Job out of a whirlwind, Job 38:1 ,

and after the wind an earthquake ; that shook the earth all around, and the mountain also, as it did when the law was given on it, Psalm 68:8 .

but the Lord was not in the earthquake ; as he was when it trembled in the times of Moses, Exodus 19:18 .
