Name of places anywhere in the world. Just one rule ... it must be a word seen in the Bible. I'll start with the letter A.
Abana
This was the name of the main river of Damascus (2 Kings 5:12). Its modern name is Barada, the Chrysorrhoas, or "golden stream," of the Greeks. It rises in a canyon of the Anti-Lebanon range, about 23 miles northwest of Damascus, and after flowing southward for a little way parts into three smaller streams, the central one flowing through Damascus, and the other two on each side of the city, diffusing beauty and fertility where otherwise there would be barrenness.

Babylon
Babylon lies in the dust of ancient Persia..One day it will rise again, only to fall complete into destruction by the Lord.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Isaiah 17:1 ESV An oracle concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.
"Damascus" is an ancient city that is mentioned almost countless times in the Holy Bible. It was significant in Bible History and IS significant in Bible Prophecy. The ancient city of Damascus still exists in Syria and is under the control of Islam. As you can see, Bible Prophecy states that Damascus will be destroyed. Damascus is definitely an enemy of Israel, and we should know that GOD has promised it will be destroyed. This could be soon.
"E" is next.

The Field of Blood also called Aceldama and the Potter's Field. This is the place the priests purchased with the pieces of silver that was given to Judas for betraying Jesus and that he had thrown back at them afterwards.

Galgotha
Golgotha is the biblical name for the place where Jesus was crucified. It was probably a small hill just outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem .

Halah = A district of Media to which captive Israelites were transported by the Assyrian kings.
(2Ki 17:6 KJVR) In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

Jeruel
Meaning: founded by God
a "desert" on the ascent from the valley of the Dead Sea towards Jerusalem
It lay beyond the wilderness of Tekoa, in the direction of Engedi (2 Chr. 20:16, 20). It corresponds with the tract of country now called el-Hasasah.

Well I'm pretty sure that "L" comes after "K", but don't quote me on it! (I said the alphabet 4 times just to make sure.) Joshua 15:37-41 Lachish37 Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal Gad, 38 Dilean, Mizpah, Joktheel, 39 Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon, 40 Cabbon, Lahmas, Kitlish, 41 Gederoth, Beth Dagon, Naamah and Makkedah—sixteen towns and their villages. |

Exodus 16:15 KJV And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat."Manna"An interesting Bible Study can be done with this word. GOD caused it to rain from Heaven in sufficient quantities to feed the children of Israel while they wandered for 40 years. Just the quantity to feed this many people would be huge. It was said to be white, like a coriander seed, and it had a taste of honey. This was a time frame when the children of Israel didn't appreciate much, so they didn't see the manna for what it was: Care from a Loving GOD and bread from Heaven. Grammyluv, I have to sing my ABCs to get them right.  My wife is at work, so I can sing all I want to unless I bother the neighbors. I stop if some of the neighborhood dogs start howling. "N" is next.
