Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Abraham and his wife Sarah had wanted a child for many years, but were unable to have one. What had God promised their descendants would be like?

Answer: They would be more than Abraham could count.

Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him again and said, "I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right, I will keep my promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted. I promise that you will be the father of many nations. That's why I now change your name from Abram to Abraham.

In the future some of your children will even be kings. I will always keep the promise I have made to you and your descendants, because I am your God and their God. I will give you and them the land in which you are now a foreigner. I will give the whole land of Canaan to your family forever, and I will be their God."(Genesis 17:1-8)

Answer: They were really old and thought it wasn't possible.

3. When the child was born, Abraham and Sarah named him Isaac. This was the name God had given them. What does it mean?

Answer: Laughter

God wanted Abraham and Sarah to name their son "Isaac" (laughter) because they both laughed and thought it was impossible. However if you can picture a 100 year old man and a 90 year old woman having a baby, you might laugh too. :) It was a miracle! Isaac's mother said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me." (Genesis 21:6)

Abraham, heart broken, made plans to do what God asked. (Genesis 22:2)

Answer: "God will provide the sacrifice."

As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?"
"Yes, my son?" Abraham replied.

Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."
They continued up the mountain together. (Genesis 22:6-8)

In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."(Genesis 22:16-18)
