And he said, Go forth, and stand on the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

Verse Explanation
God tells Elijah to stand on the mountain because the Lord is about to pass by. A powerful wind tears through the mountains, breaking rocks, but God is not in the wind. The event begins a lesson about recognizing God's presence beyond dramatic displays.
History
Ancient peoples often associated storms and powerful natural events with divine activity.
