Are we stuck on "w" due to no names starting with "W" or am I publicly embarrassing myself? :mrgreen:

For the record, I can't think of any that begin with "x," either! :mrgreen:

(past and future)

Azel

"Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives
will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north
and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel.

You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime
—a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light.

On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea
and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.

The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name." Zechariah 14

Mt. " Hermon a peak, the eastern prolongation of the Anti-Lebanon range,
reaching to the height of about 9,200 feet
above the Mediterranean. It marks the north boundary of Israel...
and is seen from a great distance. It is about 40 miles north of the Sea of Galilee.
-
In whatever part of Israel the Israelite turned his eye northward, Hermon was there, terminating the view.
From the plain along the coast, from the Jordan valley, from the heights of Moab and Gilead,
from the plateau of Bashan, the pale, blue, snow-capped cone forms the one feature in the northern horizon."

Our Lord and his disciples climbed this "high mountain apart" one day, and remained on its summit all night,
"weary after their long and toilsome ascent." During the night "he was transfigured before them;
and his face did shine as the sun." The next day they descended to Caesarea Philippi."

The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite,
where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites.
When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.”
-
The LORD turned to him and said,
“Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

“But Lord,” Gideon asked, “how can I save Israel?
My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”

The LORD answered, “I will be with you...”
Judges 6

"the greatest challenge of his life" - (Moses' link)

When we feel that we are so small, and insignificant
sometimes God surprises us and gives us a mission
to serve Him valantly and gently assures us
that He is with us the whole way.

Glory to the Lord.

The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;
Proverbs 30:26 (NKJV)

The rock badger is a curious little creature that has features that are a mixture of other animals. It has the incisors of a rodent, the molars of a rhino, the vascular system of a whale and the feet of an elephant. The rock badger makes his home in crags and crevices of rocky outcrops and cliffs. Such a home is ideal for him. As he is slow moving he is a natural target for predators. His inhospitable environment, however, ensures that enemies keep their distance. The home of the rock badger also provides ideal protection from wind and rain. For these reasons the badger spends most of his time in his rocky home. The only time he will venture forth is when he goes out looking for food. The rock badger will feed twice a day. He eats a colossal amount of food. He will hone in on plants and vegetation and gobble it up with amazing speed. In less than an hour a day they take in a massive amount of nutritional greenery which is then processed by a digestive system that has been described as 'unique in all the animal kingdom.' - The rock badger is easily tamed. The animal is constantly grooming himself and so is a clean living companion. The hind foot, in fact, has a claw especially designed for grooming. Amazingly, it is not even necessary to toilet train your pet rock badger. In the wild, the rock badger community will set aside a designated spot for use by the entire colony. In her book Born Free, author Joy Adamson wrote about the peculiar toiletry habits of her pet rock badger: " At home Pati invariably perched herself on the rim of the lavatory seat, and this situation presented a comical sight. On safari where no such refinements were provided for her, she was completely bewildered, so we had to eventually to rig up a small lavatory for her." - The rock badger, then, is a unique, industrious and amazing little creature with many features that allow him to live a full life in his rocky, inhospitable habitat. He is one more evidence of the wonder of the world we live in.

Rock Hyraxes produce large quantities of hyraceum (sticky mass of dung and urine) that has been employed by people in the treatment of several medical disorders, including epilepsy and convulsions.

Rock Hyraxes are classified as non-kosher in the Old Testament/Jewish Torah. Nonetheless, they are also included in Proverbs chapter 30 as one of a number of remarkable animals for being small but exceedingly wise...

Rock hyrax calls are referred to as “songs.” Hyrax songs can provide important biological information such as size, age social status, body weight, condition, and hormonal state of the singer, as determined by measuring their song length, patterns, complexity, and frequency...hear a sample at this link...
