A,B, C of Bible people (4)

New thread! New thread!! Wooo hooooo!!!!

Beautiful story of Ruth, a woman who gave her heart to God.

Sarah the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac.

The ONE The ONLY God Almighty

Universal God of everything, Jah.

Venomous Judas who betrayed Jesus.

Worried Job said to those men stop this homosexual behaviour, I will give you my daughters.

X-citing acts of the apostles! hope it is alright, Brinny to copy your little person...he's (it's great)

^ hahaaaaaaa LOVE it!!!!!

Yammering Hagar, who had the NERVE and AUDACITY to scorn and needle Sarah because she had a son, Ishmael, and that Sarah was barren, and had no children, yet. Hagar SHAMED Sarah, deliberately, even though she knew that Sarah was heart-broken and grieved about her barrenness.

Zoom zoom zoom ~Elijah the Prophet was QUITE a runner!-1 Kings 18:46 -The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel...17 miles!

Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, (a thoroughly nasty piece of work) sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel. 'Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel....

yup, everyone answers to God including Amaziah.

Benjamin

Cyrus the great;
Isaiah 45 verse 1
This is what the Lord said to his anointed, to Cyrus whose right hand I take hold of....

(the only place in the Bible where a Gentile ruler is called anointed; it's all exciting stuff!)

David

Elon ~The father of Esau’s wife -Gen. 26:34

Favourite disciple of Jesus...John...must have had a lovely personality...

Gehazai

Hosea ~The son of Beeri and first of the so-called Minor Prophets -Hosea 1:1 ...a dear dear man of God who obeyed God and took to him a wife named Gomer, who was a prostitute (this was soooooo hard to understand for me for the longest time, until i studied him a bit more)

What i realized is that God was bringing to Hosea's consciousness the parallel of Gomer and Israel, both unfaithful "wives" and the sorrow in Hosea's heart paralleled God's own sorrow over Israel.

Isaac ~The son of Abraham and Sarah, who was born at Gerar when Abraham was one hundred years of age and Sarah was about ninety years old -Gen. 17:19

Jubal...Genesis 4 21, the father of all who played the harp and flute...the first musician mentioned in the bible.
