Did You Know?



Did you know that the Bible has a lot of interesting things you've never thought was written in the Bible itself?

Well that's because we think about the Bible as the all-so-serious stuff. But let me tell you some interesting facts written on the Bible.

Did you know that...

- King David was handsome? :) 1 Samuel 17:42

- King Saul was the most handsome in Israel and is also tall. 1 Samuel 9:2

- Queen Esther was sexy.  Well at least that's how I understood the phrase "lovely figure". And was so beautiful, so much so that she was offered her own room when she joined the contest 'the search for the next queen'. By the way, she won. Esther 2:7

- When you read the Bible and when you see the phrase "he knew her" or "he knew his wife" don't get confused. It means they knew each other on a different level, the kind of level husbands and wives do.. you know.. the thing they do to have a baby? :) Genesis 4:1, Genesis 4:25

- If you want to read a love story? Read Ruth.

- If you want novels about wars and kingdoms, read Judges and Samuel and Chronicles

- If you want to read poetry about love, read Songs of Solomon.

Read the Bible, I promise you'll find great love, adventure and humor! :) Till next time, xoxo!
