Elisha's Wrath: A Tale of She-Bears and Consequences (II Kings 2:23-24) - In this biblical tale, Elisha's prophetic curse brings two she-bears out of the woods to maul the children who mock him. The image of she-bears, powerful mothers protecting their young, is a recurring theme in art and nature. From Gustave Doré's wood engraving to Muravyov's winter landscapes, she-bears with their cubs evoke a sense of awe and reverence. In modern times, we continue to marvel at these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats, from the polar bears of the Arctic to the brown bears of Scandinavia and Alaska. Remember, actions have consequences, and even the mightiest of creatures can be provoked.
