Bible Question: What verse in the Bible contains every letter of the alphabet except J? |
Bible Answer: Hi tracker, This is interesting trivia. Where did you hear it and what was the bottom line thought of the investigator? Did he say something like "So all we need now is (J)esus?" With that thought in mind let's look at the passage in 1 Chronicles 29:2 and consider the [things] of that verse. The Hebrew does not have "things of" in the manuscripts evidently because the occurances are in italics in our Bibles. So we could in context with the investigator who evidently spent some amount of time and effort to find these two verses--that he is interested in the "things" of alphebetical leters. My hope is that his efforts and his ability are being provided for the "house of my God". 1 Chronicles 29:2. 1) Personally, my interest is not in alphabetical letters but in words; and the "things" I am interested in are the nouns [person, place or things] and pronouns of Deity. 2) When looking at the idea of our needing only (J)esus now, I would consider the prayer found in 1 Chronicles 29:10-19. In this prayer they look to the "Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever", 1 Chron 29:10, NASB. They also say, "And You are exalted as head over all." 1 Chron 29:11, NKJ. Who are we making as "head" of our lives? From the heart, Ray |
