What prophet mentions Nebo as one of the gods of Babylon?

(Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos)

[David_james]

Isaiah 46:1

The idols of Babylon, Bel and Nebo, are being hauled away on ox carts. But look! The beasts are staggering under the weight!

Excellent Brother David!  And so fast!  Thank you.

Paul, newly converted to Christianity, enraged the Jewish leaders in a certain city, so they decided to murder him.  His friends let him down in a basket through the city wall.  What city was it?

(Exodus, Acts, Romans)

Paul, newly converted to Christianity, enraged the Jewish leaders in a certain city, so they decided to murder him.  His friends let him down in a basket through the city wall.  What city was it?

(Exodus, Acts, Romans)

Damascus

(Act 9:22 KJV)  But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

(Act 9:25 KJV)  Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

Paul also speaks of this while  he was in the church of Corinth

(2Co 11:32 KJV)  In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

(2Co 11:33 KJV)  And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

What is more amazing is that he was originally on his way to Damascus to persecute  any of the Lord's disciples that he could find there, and our Lord Jesus appeared to him.

(Act 9:1 KJV)  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

(Act 9:2 KJV)  And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

(Act 9:3 KJV)  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

(Act 9:4 KJV)  And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

(Act 9:5 KJV)  And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

(Act 9:6 KJV)  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

  I reckon we could keep right on with this and about Paul's conversion, so I better just leave off here and anxiously await the next question.

Active during Josiah's reign, this prophet spoke about judgment and the coming "day of the Lord."

(Zehaniah, Habakkuk, Micah)

[workinprogress]

Active during Josiah's reign, this prophet spoke about judgment and the coming "day of the Lord."

(Zehaniah, Habakkuk, Micah)

I think it is "Zephaniah"

(Zep 1:1 KJV)  The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

(Zep 1:7 KJV)  Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

And you would be correct again, Faithful Dave!

Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this paragraph? This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot...that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.


(I'll post the answers in a few days!  Have fun!  Everyone can play!)
