Meaning of a “Pure Fast” in Revelation / Apocalypse of Elijah 1:15–27
A pure fast means more than abstaining from food. In this passage, the fast YAHUAH accepts is tied to a pure heart, pure hands, humility, repentance, prayer, and righteous conduct.
The passage teaches that fasting is not only an outward discipline. It must be joined with inward cleansing, obedience, mercy, and truth before YAHUAH.
