Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

Berea, a town where Paul preached, was full of smart people who verified everything they were told and read, but that’s all.

Acts 17:10

Fact of the Day

Berea was a town at the foot of Mt. Olympus where the Greek god Jupiter and a lot of his “children” supposedly lived.  We wonder how many ever climbed the mountain and verified whether those gods were really there.  Do you think that’s why the Bereans wanted to check everything out and verify everything whenever anyone told them any new thing to believe?

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

A former slave in the Bible saved the Jews from extermination

Esther 9:1-32 – Esther chap. 1

Fact of the Day 

Jewish Esther arrived in Babylon as a little slave girl. A while later, Xerxes, king of Persia conquered Babylon, Egypt and many other smaller kingdoms.  When he marched to conquer Greece, he had such a temper that, when a storm stopped his advance he ordered the sea beaten with 300 lashes.

Later, he made this little slave girl his bride.  But she did not tell him she was a Jew,  So, when Esther asked King Xerxes to spare her people from extinction, she was taking a big chance.  She had to admit she was a former Jewish slave. With all that against her, Xerxes honored her wish and saved the Jews.

To this day, every March, Jews keep a festival to remember how a former slave turned queen in the Bible, saved the Jews from extermination around 450 BC. 

Oh, and the remains of her magnificent palace in Susa still reign in Iran.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Darius_in_Susa
