The Moabites are gone, but the Ammonites are still there.............

[Hebrews 11:6]

You remind me of me and my brother: one is gone................

[RoosterRedux]

The Moabites moved to Utah.;-)

[Red Badger]

🤦‍♂️😜🤷‍♀️..........................

[NorthMountain]

The ammonites

are fossilized ...

[Red Badger]

The capitol of Jordan is Amman..............

Because David used the ‘sword of the Ammonites’ to kill Uriah the Hittite, the Ammonite capital would never fall.........

[NorthMountain]

Started scrolling the pictures before answering the questions ...

[Hebrews 11:6]

Suit yourself....

[NorthMountain]

More like I forgot ...

mea culpa ...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ A: SINCE HE DID DESTROY IT, OBVIOUSLY HE FOUND FEWER THAN TEN RIGHTEOUS”

One could argue, based on subsequent events (the conception of Ammon and Moab, and the pillar of salt), that He found none righteous…but out of faithfulness to Abraham He saved Lot and his family anyway.

I really like Martin (#24) and Snyder (#26)…but again it is Tissot that provides the most noteworthy perspective here. This story is more about Abraham than even the parties more directly involved.

[Hebrews 11:6]

One could argue...that He found none righteous

Since "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", I would argue that is exactly what He found.

...it is Tissot that provides the most noteworthy perspective here.

That is his specialty....

Tissot, Martin, great paintings. Thank you, Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

For you, Alba.

Had an idea yesterday for a future fenster-feature you will like. More on it later....

[etabeta]

Looking forward to them. Thank you.

Beautiful paintings 🖼.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Each of these quiz-questions requires only 10 or so images, so I cherry-pick the “best”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

In December. That is what is known as a “clue”.
