Another Bible Timeline fact –>FORD Mention is frequently made of the fords of the Jordan (Joshua
2:7; Judges 3:28; 12:5, 6), which must have been very numerous; about
fifty perhaps. The most notable was that of Bethabara. Mention is also
made of the ford of the Jabbok (Genesis 32:22), and of the fords of Arnon
(Isaiah 16:2) and of the Euphrates (Jeremiah 51:32).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>FOREHEAD The practice common among Oriental nations of colouring
the forehead or impressing on it some distinctive mark as a sign of
devotion to some deity is alluded to in Revelation 13:16, 17; 14:9; 17:5;
20:4.
The ?jewel on thy forehead? mentioned in Ezekiel 16:12 (R.V., ?a ring
upon thy nose?) was in all probability the ?nose-ring? (Isaiah 3:21).
In Ezekiel 3:7 the word ?impudent? is rightly rendered in the Revised
Version ?an hard forehead.? (See also ver. 8, 9.)
Another Bible Timeline fact –>FOREIGNER a Gentile. Such as resided among the Hebrews were
required by the law to be treated with kindness (Exodus 22:21; 23:9;
Leviticus 19:33, 34; 23:22; Deuteronomy 14:28; 16:10, 11; 24:19). They
enjoyed in many things equal rights with the native-born residents (Exodus
12:49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:15; 35:15), but were not allowed to do
anything which was an abomination according to the Jewish law (Exodus
20:10; Leviticus 17:15,16; 18:26; 20:2; 24:16, etc.).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD Acts 2:23; Romans 8:29; 11:2; 1 Peter
1:2), one of those high attributes essentially appertaining to him the full
import of which we cannot comprehend. In the most absolute sense his
knowledge is infinite (1 Samuel 23:9-13; Jeremiah 38:17-23; 42:9-22,
Matthew 11:21, 23; Acts 15:18).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>FORERUNNER John the Baptist went before our Lord in this character
(Mark 1:2, 3). Christ so called (Hebrews 6:20) as entering before his
people into the holy place as their head and guide.
