2 Ki. 1: Don't Light Your Own Fire

2 Kings 1:12 "But Elijah answered them, 'If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.' Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty."

Ahaziah, son of Ahab has some weird accident where he falls through some lattice or whatever. Who knows. Anyway, he was evil. So, curious as to whether he would recover from his sickness, he sends a cavalcade of messengers to consult Baal in Ekron.

The angel of the LORD tells Elijah that he's on. He's got to confront these messengers and ask them if they're consulting Baal because there's no God in Israel. Because of this, and probably the evil, Elijah tells them that Ahaziah is gonna die.

So they go back and deliver the news, and Ahaziah sends a delegation of a captain and 50 dudes to meet Elijah and tell him to come back with him. Ahaziah has not learned from the past, where you can't order prophets around and live. Elijah says "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty." And it happens again. Finally, the third guy gets it, and the angel allows Elijah to go see Ahaziah.

There Ahaziah hears it straight from Elijah that he's gonna die. Maybe if Ahaziah had consulted God, things might have been different.
