FATHER - AS IN GOD THE FATHER - OUR HEAVENLY FATHER - The source of all GRACE and TRUTH.

1 John 3:1-2 ESV  See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.  2  Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Hello alwpray,

I'm sorry I didn't notice that it was your first post. Can I blame it on old age?  :-[  Anyway, I do welcome you to the forums. I hope to see more of your post and to have some wonderful fellowship in the Lord.

"O"

Ophrah

1 Chronicles 4:14
Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of Ge Harashim. It was called this because its people were craftsmen.

It was also a place:   ;D

Judges 9:5
He went to his father's home in Ophrah and on one stone murdered his seventy brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerub-Baal, escaped by hiding.

Pashur

Jer 20:1  Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
Jer 20:2  Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
Jer 20:3  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

Quartus - Quartus was a Christian at Corinth. He was known to the Apostle Paul as a Christian, and "the Brother."

He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.

"V" is next.

 ;D  I'm worn out and drawing a blank for "V", so I'm going to get some rest and come back. I would have to get "V". Someone else can try it. JUMP IN!

V is a more difficult one. There are few names that start with V. Here is one of the few though.

Vajezatha, one of the sons of Haman, enemies of the Jews that the Jews killed which is told of in Esther 9.

thank you brother

I don't know any w, x or y

Apparently there are no names that start with W so X is next.

I had a hard time believing there wasn't a "W". I didn't find a specific name referring to one person, but I did find:

"WISE MEN" - Matthew 2:7 ESV  Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
 
I think that we're going to have trouble with some of these letters unless we go to Hebrew, Greek, or Books other than the Bible. I had to stretch some on "X", but here it is.

Ezra 4:6 ESV  And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

Another Name for King Ahasuerus is "Xerxes"

W.....How about "Living Water".....Jesus!

A = Alpha and Almighty

Rev 1:8  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

YEAH! - The last two were great! In fact, this is something that I like to think about often. The LIVING WATER quenches thirst forever, and HE is the beginning and the end - The ALPHA AND OMEGA!

"Baal" included several sun-gods and was associated with worshiping idols and evil. It went so far as to include a worshiper burning their children alive as a sacrifice. This is where Christians get the phrase indicating evil, "sending your children through the fire."

Judges 3:3 ESV  These are the nations: the five lords of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as Lebo-hamath.

Back to our game:

Ladan

Ladan was an ancestor of Joshua. It's interesting during Bible Studies to see why genealogies are mentioned in the Holy Bible. They were used for various things, and some even for the Promises of GOD.

1 Chronicles 7:26-27 ESV  26  Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son,  27  Nun his son, Joshua his son.

"M"    is next.

Merab

Merab was the oldest daughter of King Saul. Saul had offered to give her to any man who would kill Goliath (1 Samuel 17:25). But when David killed Goliath, Saul changed his mind, and David ended up marrying Michal, Saul's younger daughter. Saul gave Merab to a man named Adriel, and she bore him five sons. Merab means "increase."


and of course N is next.

Nehemiah

Nehemiah was a Jewish Patriot and Governor of Judea. There are many questions about the details of his life. Little is written about him except for the Bible, so reading Nehemiah will tell you just about all there is to know about Nehemiah. Some is written about Nehemiah in non-Canonical books, but the questions remain. Nehemiah is an interesting character of the Bible. Nehemiah 2:3 indicates that he might have been in the royal line of Judah.

Nehemiah 1:1 ESV  The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the capital,
