Forbes' Complete Book Of Bible Riddles - Reginald Forbes
Prayer For This Book
Father, when our first parents sinned,
They thought that all was lost.
They knew that they deserved to die
But could not pay the cost.
A judgement sentence was pronounced
On all of us that day.
Yes; we inherited a debt
That none of us could pay,
But, Lord, You paid it all for us
Through Jesus Christ, Your Son;
And that’s good news, not just for some,
But it’s for everyone.
Now Lord, I’m sure it is Your will
That all the world should know;
So bless this book as I attempt
To tell my readers so….
May they be led to search the Holy
Bible through and through,
And in their searching, come to find
Fulfillment, Lord, in You.
Amen.
Angels
1. A man who used a stone for pillow
Underneath his head,
Saw angels going up and down as
The ground was his bed.
2. A righteous man was troubled;
To Jehovah God he prayed.
An angel coming to him was
By Lucifer delayed.
3. She overheard an angel and
She laughed at what she heard -
She and her husband, both old,
Having children? How absurd.
4. An old man once was told to go
And kill his only son.
An angel stopped his hand or else
The deed would have been done.
5. A man, determined to do wrong,
Traveled to a strange land.
He was stopped by an angel with
A drawn sword in his hand.
6. An angel told a man his virgin
Girlfriend was with child.
He was relieved for she had had him
Thinking for a while.
7. Unknowingly, a man wrestled
An angel through the night.
The angel struck a bargain with him
Just before daylight.
8. A man of God who prayed, once had
His faith rewarded when
Some angels came and shut the mouths
Of lions in a den.
9. Two angels once were posted with
Some flaming swords in hand
To make sure that a couple did not
Re-enter a land.
10. A man verbally sparred with angels,
Losing every round,
For in the city, even ten
Good people were not found.
Animals
1. This bird is very pretty and
He makes a sound that’s loud.
When people talk about him, they
Would say he is too proud.
2. Rachel once stole her father’s things.
Her husband did not know.
She hid them on a beast until
Her father had to go.
3. This beast survived from Bible times
And he is still with us.
He’s used for racing and he has
His name on a large bus.
4. I’ve never seen this animal.
They say he had one horn,
Is white and I guess his children
Had died when I was born.
5. This beast is recognizable
Because of all his spots.
Some beasts have only one or two;
This one has lots and lots.
6. This beast came to King Solomon
By way of the high seas.
Do not believe the scientists
Who say we came from these.
7. This animal, the king of beasts,
Has a tremendous roar.
Right now he enjoys eating meat;
One day he will eat straw.
8. Amidst the shouts of Hosanna!
From folk of Jewish pride,
Jesus rode to Jerusalem.
On what beast did He ride?
9. This beast, the largest mammal that
Is known to us today,
Is probably what helped the prophet
Jonah in some way.
10. Joseph realized the value of
This animal and now
Man still uses this animal
To work for him somehow.
Bible Objects
1. A young man once borrowed a tool
Which somehow lost its head.
He felt so sorrowful. "Alas!
I borrowed it," he said.
2. God sought to free his people from
Pharoah and Egypt land.
Moses complained. God simply asked,
"What is that in your hand?"
3. A giant mocked the Israelites.
Although he was quite tall,
He was killed by a little boy
With two things – both quite small.
4. A woman once needed a weapon.
One that day was found.
She used it on a general’s head,
Nailing him to the ground.
5. When Jacob went to seek a wife,
He used the ground for bed,
Then something else he used for pillow
Underneath his head.
6. In Damascus some people tried
To kill God’s servant, Paul.
He hid in something and was lowered
Down over a wall.
7. Elisha somehow knew that day
His boss was heaven bound.
He also knew he had the power
When something hit the ground.
8. When Abraham and son went up
The mountain with no lamb,
God stayed his hand with something in it,
Then he saw a ram.
9. When Jonah preached to Nineveh,
Somehow he stayed nearby;
But then he got angry with God,
For letting something die.
10. Everyone knows that flowers grow
On plants in light or dark;
But God allowed flowers to grow
On something near the ark.
Bible Texts
C:\Users\redee\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Word\Vanessa Miller.jpg1. The Bible says, "For God so loved
The world He gave His Son
That no one who believes in Him
Should perish…" - No, not one.
2. Through Christ I can do all things for
In Him I have the power;
He strengthens me to do His will
Each day and every hour.
3. A man once told the Israelites
That they must choose their God,
But as for him and his household,
They chose to serve The Lord.
4. Whether we eat or drink or
Whatsoever we may do,
Let’s do it to God’s glory –
Good advice for me and you.
5. When Satan tempted Christ to sin,
He failed miserably,
For Jesus quoted scriptures saying
Get thee behind Me.
6. God tells us to remember in
A very special way
