Change of Plans (Superheroes)

I decided not to continue the Superhero blogs. I know I didn't get far, but the more I thought about it...that is COMPLETELY cheesy.

So, change of of plans.

For those thousands of you that check the iRescue blogspot daily in hopes that I posted the next Superhero blog, here is a completely condensed version of my top five Superheroes of the Bible:

5. Samson (A.K.A. Superman) - Yeah, I know Superman is suppose to be the biggest, baddest (er, goodest) superhero ever...but I still think he is pretty lame. And although Samson is cool, everyone expects him so I didn't move him up the rankings. But, he did kill a lion with his bare hands and 1,000 men with the jawbone of an ass. Oh, and he has his very own kryptonite - women were his weakness. Check it out at Judges 14-16.

4. Moses (A.K.A. Captain Planet) - Earth! Fire! Water! Wind! Heart! Moses used all of these when leading his people out of captivity. It all started with the plagues - blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock disease, boils, violent hail and fire, locusts, darkness, and death. Later, water split and water came out of rocks to nourish thousands of people. Check it out at Exodus 7.

3. David (A.K.A. Batman) - David didn't really have any supernatural abilities just like Batman. However, he was very resourceful! He used his abilities and weapons to take out lions bears and even giants! Then, he lurked in the shadows while escaping his enemies. Check it out at 1 Samuel 17 and 24.

2. Elijah (A.K.A. The Flash) - You might have not heard of this guy and that is just too bad. Elijah’s incredible God-given speed allowed him to outrun a chariot over a distance of about 13 miles. Of course he did possess a few powers that the Flash lacks, such as the time when he called down fire to consume 51 men who came to capture him. Unfortunately (for them), they sent another 50 after that to try again and they were cooked as well. Check it out at 1 Kings 18:44-46.

1. Josheb-basshebeth, Eleazar and Shammah (A.K.A. The Fantastic Four) - I know, three guys, but you can leave out the Invisible Woman (for a couple of reasons)...King David had a baller group of warriors but he had three that led the pack. Josheb, the captain of the three, used his spear to kill 800 men at one time. Eleazar found himself facing the Philistine army alone, but he fought them until he was exhausted and when the rest of his army came to help him, they found Eleazar had already slain them all. Shammah stood his ground against an army when his own fled. Check it out at 2 Samuel 23.
