In the age of the prophets, Elijah "prophet fed by ravens" was the first. It was roughly eighty somewhat years after the first kings, David and Solomon.
One day, frustrated with the times, Elijah took a hike (well, a sojourn, in the lingo of the day) to Mt. Horeb, where Moses, a long time ago, had met with God.
While he was there on the mountain, God went by as an earthquake, but then said "I'm not in the earthquake". And then He went by as a tempest, and said "I'm not in the tempest".
But then He came by as gentleness and stillness, and said "I'm in the quietness and the peace".
I read a blurb in an old book which said the Spirit of God was showing Elijah not to fret over the world because God's Spirit of peace and gentleness will one day fill the world and rule the universe.
