Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

[Bob4God]

There are SO MANY to choose from, but if you could have witnessed just one of GOD's amazing displays of heroism and judgment in the Bible, which would it be?

I know what I would have wanted to witness: GOD's magnificent slaughter of Egypt's first born sons. I would run door to door laughing and pointing at fathers and mothers cradling the cold, limp bodies of their children in their arms, weeping and crying, only to tell them if their Pharaoh hadn't been such an atheist, their kids would still be alive!

Glory!

Four words, "Jawbone of an Ass"

That says it all, three D special effects, all that. To be there and see that jawbone in action and the blood flying and heads being liberated from bodies, and WOW! It must have been like the 4th of July but blood making those sparks fly!

"15": And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

That's from:
Judges, chapter 15

I would dearly love to have seen the look on Saul's face when David showed up with not one hundred, but TWO HUNDRED foreskins of Philistines!

I wonder if they were delivered with some Philistine clams, as well?

Mine would not be so "Steven Spielberg" in nature. No amazing feats with amazing background music. Mine would be more simple.

I will take Genesis. Right between 2 and 3. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Happy. Everything perfect and as God had planned for it to be. No sin had been committed. No shame. Plenty of warm sun and cool grass.

Perfection.

Yup, I'd love to experience that...

I would love to see Jesus from the Book of Revelation, all badass with firey eyes and a sword for a tongue, unleashing untold woe and death and agony upon the people of the world:

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.... I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:7-18

It almost makes me wish I wasn't going to be raptured out before that happens.

I'd just like to see God rain fire on non-belivers or complaining believers. I am a little unclear on the physics of the phenomenon mostly, but it would be nice to see a few people who had really angered God get what was coming to them.



The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Genesis 19:23-25




The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 11:5-7





And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 38:21-23




And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.

And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.

Numbers 11:1-3

One word: She-bears!

2 Kings 2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
2:25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

The flood - watching it rain until the waters covered the tallest mountains (more water than the Earth even contains, AMEN! What a miracle). Watching every man woman, child and animal (but miraculously enough, not the plants, not even the olive tree...) drown as the waters slowly poured down and devoured them.

God is so wonderful. He could have just killed all the people in an instant with his power, but chose to do it as spectacularly as possible!

And seeing two of every animal and 8 humans on a huge boat would be an awesome sight, too.

Re: Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

I think it would have been so sweet to get to see the baby Jesus! Babies are soooooooo cute! The way they look at you, with their eyes all googily and blue and they're sooo tiny with their tiny little hands!

And imagine, not only is it a super cute baby, and you're in olden times with all the wisemen and stuff, but it's Jesus too!

I mean seriously, how cool would it be to get to actually HOLD the baby Jesus!?! Like on your lap and everything!!!!!

My cousin had a little girl last year and that was pretty cool, but seriously, Jesus? I mean come on! That would be like the coolest thing EVER!

Re: Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

I don't know what my Godly Brethren are thinking. The Bible teaches us againa nd again about the goodness of slaughtering God's enemies. But it doesn't teach us as much about the evil ways of sexual gratification.

Ezekiel 23:18-20
18So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

A woman who "discovers her whoredoms" and who takes on many men with genitals the size of donkeys and who ejaculate as much as horses do? I think I could learn how to avoid such women better if I could observe this Biblical event.



(Maybe it would have helped me avoid marrying my third ex-wife!)

Re: Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

I would have loved to see the look on the face of that fig tree!

Mark 11:21
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

Jesus always wins!

Re: Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

Here is my favorite miracle, and what a sight it must have been! God stops the sun and the moon!

Jos:10:10: And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Jos:10:11: And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Jos:10:12: Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Jos:10:13: And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Jos:10:14: And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

There is so much here; there is
(i)The Wrath of The Lord of Hosts in His Destruction of His Enemies
(ii)“slew them with a great slaughter” and “smote them to Azekah” (truly poetic language)
(iii)“great stones from heaven”
(iv)There is proof that the earth is the center of the universe and that the sun revolves around it.
(v)There is the mighty miracle, for despite stopping the sun, which weighs over 500 tons and is made of burning coal, the physics of the universe remained the same.
(vi)There is mention of “The Book of Jasher” (beware of forgeries.)

Re: Amazing Biblical Events You Would Most Like To Have Witnessed

It gets better than that. God actually made the sun move backward in the sky. It was so wonderful that the Bible describes it twice.

2 Kings 20:8-11: And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What [shall be] the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

Isaiah 38:4-8: Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. And this [shall be] a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

I'd like to sit there with Jeremiah in his cave of Lamentations and watch Jerusalem and the temple be destroyed.

Then I'd like to watch it happen again in 70 AD.

I'd kind of like to watch all the siege's of Jerusalem. Just so I can sit there with the prophets and be like "yep, this is what you get".

Not sure if this counts but I'd like to see Moses' parting the Red Sea. I saw Charlton Heston do it but it was not real.
