Second Kings Two - Animal Attacks

 

"Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, 'Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!' So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths," 2 Kings 2:23-24, NKJV. #AnimalAttacks

On many occasions in the scriptures, animals were ordered to turn away from their natural course to attack the disobedient people of God, seemingly without provocation; in some cases, the Lord sends special creatures not found in this world to carry out the deed.

Numbers 21:4-6, 1 Kings 13:23-25 and Revelation 9:1-11.
