We all have questions about life. Especially as Christians in the 21st century, we are facing tremendous challenges and temptations, and although we have God's word as a guide, some seem to remain unanswered. What's the purpose of my life? How do I find my true calling? Where is God, in a world full of suffering? Where do I draw the line between being nice and a pushover? At 21st Talks, we address the "tough" questions of the Christian walk and talk about practical solutions. We cut through the non-sense and give you straight, biblical answers. Are you ready to hear them?

Decoding Strange Stories in the Bible - Elisha, Two Bears & 42 Children

There are some stories in the Bible that seem "strange" or unusual at first sight. Some may read them and question God's character. Others might be offended and forsake Scripture altogether. But are those stories really that strange? What is the background behind the stories, and why would we find such stories in the Bible?

STORY #1: Elisha, Two Bears & 42 Children (2 Kings 2:23-24)

Editor's Comment:
The fact that two bears killed 42 children and not one single person escaped points to a supernatural incident. This was a divine judgment of GOD, and He used bears to execute it. The same way He stopped the lion's mouth when Daniel was in the den, He now used animals to do the exact opposite. Instead of witnessing an ordinary happenstance, we find evidence that those animals were indeed being used supernaturally.
