question 20: How long did the
longest recorded naked walk in the Bible last?
answer: Isaiah walked around naked and barefoot for
three years.
“In the year that Tartan came
to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against
Ashdod and took it, at the same time
the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son
of Amoz, saying, ‘Go, and remove the sackcloth from your body, and take your
sandals off your feet.’ And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Then the Lord said, ‘Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked
and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder
against Egypt and Ethiopia, so shall the king of
Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives,
young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame
of Egypt. Then they shall be afraid and
ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory. And the inhabitant of this territory will say
in that day, “Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for help to be
delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?”’” (Isaiah
20:1-6).
