Hey, everybody's Matt, this is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast. And if you dig around through history,

there's some people who've got some pretty wicked, awesome nicknames. But I like the nicknames that aren't

quite on the nose. I like the nicknames that make you think a little bit about what's going on.

For example, and let me just be unbelievably clear here, when it comes to World War

II, I'm really solidly team allies on that one, but there is one Nazi who's got a super cool

nickname. Erwin Rommel, do you remember his nickname? It's the Desert Fox. I mean, you hear that

nickname. You're like, well, one, that's cool, but two,

what does it mean? Like that says something about you. And you go when you look at the story of

Rommel and like, well, he was just clever. He was deceptive. He was a tactical genius. And where

did he operate? North Africa, the desert fox. Cool. Sometimes even the bad guys get a cool nickname. How about the sun king?

Louis the 14th? Remember that one? I mean, why would you give yourself the name of the sun king?

Well, because you built the biggest buildings and you have the most money and you wear the fanciest leotards and wigs.

You are the reflection of the glory of the cosmos

you are the sun king that's a pretty good one the iron lady that's a pretty good nickname that's uh

margaret thatcher right like i grew up hearing about the iron lady like there's uh there's a juxtaposition there, right?

Like, it's a lady.

She's elegant and refined.

But she's made of metal?

What?

That's pretty cool.

How about the Winter King?
