Names attracted my attention a while ago....I find it's interesting while reading the prophets to remember the names.

My first discovery in Bible names is The city of Peace (Jerusalem) is in the area of Praise (Judah).

Another one that I heard from another Christian (it was a favorite with him) is that God is the God of Faith (Abraham), Laughter (Isaac) and Tricks (Jacob).

Good research, Ed!

Thanks for the thread, Chad!
