Someone showed me this story and reMARKed that there are
^^^^
twenty books of the Bible hidden here. He challenged me to
find them. Sure enough they're all here. Still this thing
is a luLU. KEpt me looKING So hard for the longest time.
^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^
Some of you will get bogged down with fACTS, others are hit
^^^^
by them like they were some kind of REVELATION or one may
^^^^^^^^^^
get in a JAM, ESpecially since the names are not capatilized
^^^ ^^
and often leap the spaces between the words. This makes it
a real JOB to find them, but it'll provide A MOSt
^^^ ^ ^^^
fascinating few minutes for you. YES, THERe are some really
^^ ^^^^
easy ones to spot, but don't get the big head cause
tRUTHfully you'll soon figure that it would take more
^^^^
federal JUDGES and PREACHERs NUMBERS of hours to find them
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
all. I will admit thaT IT USually takes a minister to find
^ ^^ ^^
one of them, and that is not uncommon, for there are to be
loud LAMENTATIONS when it is pointed out. One lady says that
^^^^^^^^^^^^
when she is confronted with puzzles like this, sHE BREWS a
^^ ^^^^^
cup of tea to help her concentrate better, but then this
gals a real PRO. VERBS, nouns, and all that stuff are her
^^^ ^^^^^
thing. See how well you can comPETE. Relax! If you fail
^^^^ ^
to find them, there's a penalty. You'll have to go fly a
kite, sit on a banaNA, HUM the Battle Hymn of the Republic,
^^ ^^^
or HOSE A dog (a mean one). Get to it!
^^^^ ^
Now I am sure some of you are going to say, "Where is the 20th
book? There is no book called 'Preacher'" Ah my friend, you are
showing your own lack of Bible knowledge. The book of Ecclesiates
is the only book of the Bible that offers two names for itself.
(Check your King James Version) The real name of Ecclesiates is
"The Preacher." Ecclesiates is the anglicized version of the Greek
word for "the preacher" -- "ekklesiastes" from the root word for
church or assembly -- ekklesia. This is the title given in the Septuagint
which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. The Hebrew
word for the title is also the word for "preacher" -- (qoheleth) or
"the one calling the assembly."
