Twenty:Fourteen

Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi

Afflicted with the Cold That Does Not End (day 12 today, and no real improvement...), I watched church online today. 

Pastor had a most excellent message, but something he said about 2014 triggered a thought in my head, and I proceeded to look through the Bible to see what the 20:14 verses were.

Some were encouraging, some were warnings, some were, well, in the middle of something else.  But, just for grins, I'll share 'em:

20:14, all verses ESV

Genesis - Then Abimilech took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned Sarah his wife to him.

Exodus - You shall not commit adultery.

Leviticus - If a man takes a woman and her mother also, it is depravity; he and they shall be burned with fire, that there may be no depravity among you.

 Numbers - Moses sent messages from Kadesh to the King of Edom: "Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship we have met:"

Deuteronomy - but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take for yourselves and you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies.

2 Kings - Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, "What did those men say?  And from where did they come to you?"  And Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, from Babylon."

2 Chronicles - And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaniah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.

Jeremiah - Cursed be the day on which I was born!  The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed!

Ezekiel - 'But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.'

Matthew - 'Take what belongs to you and go.  I choose to give to this last worker as I gave to you.'

Luke  - But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, "This is the heir.  Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'

John  - Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she didn't know that it was Jesus.

Acts - And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

Revelation - Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Hmmmmm......
