Here's one for you.. What was the name of Isaiah's son????

Surely you must be referring to the redoubtable Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz

What did Jael use to murder Sisera?

A tent peg and a hammer.

To make things more sacrilegious, she killed him in the temple!

Point of information: Does the Bible consider this a murder or an act of war?

(singing) "If I had a hammer . . ."

Hezekiah 4:9

Almost ran to my Bible to look that up...

When the magi came to seek Baby Jesus, where did they find Him?

(careful now!)

The obvious answer, based on Judges 5, is that what Jael did was a wonderful, heroic thing. It was part of the war between good and evil. God was in the process of preparing for the coming of the Messiah and the enemy was set in its opposition to God. Their probation was at an end. He had given those peoples over 400 years to repent. God's patience is not infinite.

The gospel calls for us to take radical action also. It calls us to use "the nail and hammer", or knife, to cut sin out of our lives. If your hand makes you stumble, better to cut it off and get into God's kingdom with one hand than be lost with both hands. Don't put up with sin in our lives any more than Jael put up with Sisera. The "giants" in the land that we have to conquer are not people but sins in our lives that with God's power we can overcome.

The Magi followed the star until it rested over the house where Jesus was staying with Mary, His mother.

Matt 1:11

Morning Glory

Judges 4: 17 - 22 indicates that Sisera fled to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber.......

Curious, where do you read that he went to the Temple, and was killed there?

Morning Glory

PS Loved the part about "If I had a hammer....."!!!

Ya! That's what I had always thought. So I reread the account. He went into her tent and she nailed him with a tent peg in his temple.
