Top 10 Ways to Die

Everyone loves Top 10 lists.  So today I will share my Top 10 Ways to Die in the Bible.  note: By top 10 ways to die I am talking about moments that make a fellow shout "OWEE, OWEE!"  ​ 

To qualify for this list the death must meet the following 3 Criteria.. 

1. The death must be recorded in the pages of God's Holy Bible,
2. The death must be cringe worthy.
3. The death must be represented by a .. CARTOON

So here we go,

• Death by.. Rock, Goliath​
• Death by.. Tent Stake, Sisera
• Death by.. Millstone, Abimilech
• Death by.. Flood, almost Everybody
• Death by.. Bears, Boys taunting Elisha​

• Death by.. Stray Arrow, Ahab
• Death by.. Marching Band, Jericho Tower Guards
• Death by.. Worms, Herod
• Death by.. horses, and dogs, Jezebel
• Death by..  Wrong Road, too too many

Honorable mentions go to Eglon, the enemies of Samson, and the victims of the infamous Jars & Trumpet militia. 

Your list may be different than mine, and in fact please write me your favorite ways to die from the Bible.  It could make my next list.

Let me close today's ramble with the topic of 'Near Death' Experiences

In sharp contrast to top 10 ways to die we have Near Death experiences. No not the 'out of body' stories we read about, but instead our 'sinners saved by Grace' kind of experience. 

When we realize our best is a filthy rags Isaiah 64:6 before God, but with a repentant heart we can receive this Amazing Grace of God we move from 'near death' an eternity in Hell to eternal life with our creator in Heaven.

There are great stories of loved ones who gave their lives to Jesus on their literal death beds. These loved ones are very much like the thief on the cross who asked Jesus to remember Him, and Jesus replied "Today you will be with me in Paradise". Luke 23:43 Both moved from near death to eternal life with a repentant heart receiving God's Amazing Grace.

Now, that's the kind of 'near death' experience I'm talkin' bout'.

I pray God's blessings on your lives today. I pray you all have the promise of Heaven in your future. All roads do not lead to Heaven, and being a pretty good guy or gal, and/or just believing in a higher power is not good enough. 

Choose Jesus today if you have not already.  We are all going to die (deep Back Pew insight, lol), know it matters eternally what we believe and where we place our faith. I place my faith in Jesus Christ, and I pray each of you do also.

If you have not, know.. If we confess our sins, He is faithful to forgive our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9
