      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.
