Nouns Of The Bible - Person, Place or Thing Quiz

Answer: the leaves of the tree of life

All of these are mentioned in chapters 21 & 22, but specifically, the leaves of the tree of life are stated as being reserved for this purpose. (Revelation 22:2)

Answer: 6 years

The Hebrew/Jewish people were enslaved in many situations. The Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Syrians, and others captured them and enslaved them many times, usually as a punishment for disobeying God. This instance of servitude is found in Exodus 21: 1-6.

(If the servant chose not to be released from his fellow Hebrew master, then the master was under instructions to take him to the judges and then to the door or doorpost and pierce through his ear with an awl, signifying permanent ownership.)

Answer: Two; Theophilus

Luke wrote the books of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Theophilus was an acquaintance of Luke, and as a Greek, was curious as to the history of the earth walk of Jesus. Luke reports the events, not as an eyewitness to the events, but much as a reporter might do today, by interviewing and speaking with those who were.

He traveled with the apostle Paul at times. (Luke 1:3&4 and Acts 1:1)

Answer: The Gospel of Thomas

The Gospel of Thomas is one of the Gnostic writings, not found in the Holy Bible. The term Gnostic means "knowledge."

Answer: Dan

Dan is not listed, but Manasseh or Manasses, the name of one of Joseph's sons, is mentioned instead. Some people think that Dan is not included because the false prophet arises from this tribe. Others think that the 144,000 people mentioned as those receiving the seal of God are not Jewish at all. (Revelation chapter 7.)

Answer: Zarah

In the 38th chapter of Genesis, we find twins being born. One of them stuck his hand out, as if ready to be born, and the midwife tied a scarlet thread around it, but his brother Pharez was born first, then the infant Zarah with the thread on his hand was born next. (Genesis 38: 27-30)

Answer: Eve and Balaam

Eve was spoken to by a serpent in the garden of Eden in Genesis 3: 1-13. He promised Eve that she would be as a god, knowing the difference between good and evil. Balaam was a prophet who was sent by the king of Moab, (modern day Jordan), to curse the children of Israel.

The donkey he was riding upon balked because it saw an angel standing in its way with a sword drawn, ready to kill Balaam. The angel informed him that had the donkey not balked, he would have slain Balaam, but would have spared the donkey's life. (Numbers, chapter 22). (Interestingly, both animals were of the opposite sex from their human counterparts.)

Answer: Boaz

The book of Ruth is only four chapters long, but Christians believe it represents Christ's love for His people and the church. In this interpretation, Ruth is a foreshadowing of the bride of Christ, the church, while Boaz, her second husband, is a foreshadowing of Christ himself. They are both ancestors of Jesus as mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:5.

Answer: Matthew

Matthew 27: 50-54 tells us of this remarkable event. It is the only gospel account that mentions it.

Answer: Nehemiah

The children of Israel had been taken captive by the Babylonians. Nehemiah was placed in a trusted position as the king's cupbearer to ensure the king was not poisoned. Because of his position in the court, the king, who released the captives in three different "waves", entrusted Nehemiah to oversee the rebuilding of Jerusalem in his own homeland. (Nehemiah 2:1-6 5:14 and 8:9).
