Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I tried to release a man named Jesus, even though someone had warned me about a dream they had concerning him. His own people would simply not hear of me releasing him to freedom. A large crowd gathered, insisting upon his crucifixion, and demanded that I have him crucified, but for no reason that I could ascertain clearly.
Who am I, and who had warned me to have nothing to do with his execution?
2. I was once a king, yet I arranged for a man to be killed, just so that I could have his wife, even though I already had several of my own!
Who was I, a man who had some other wives named Michal, Ahinoam and Abigail?
3. My name is Gomer, and I was the wife of a prophet. I was also a woman who had managed to live what might today be called a "rough lifestyle", because prior to my marriage, I was what was commonly called a "harlot".
Who was my husband, who married me because God commanded him to do so?
4. I, Nebuchadnezzar, was the undisputed king of the great nation of Babylon. I paid homage to Daniel, one of God's prophets, as well as respecting three other young men who had been taken as captive by our nation's armed forces, who had been enslaved in our homeland. At one time, I felt so powerful, that I insisted that all people should bow and worship a golden image of ME, and when those three refused, I had them thrown into a blazing flame.
Who did I think that I saw, walking around with them, in the fire, according to the King James Version of Daniel 3:25?
5. I once did my husband, the king, a favor. He wanted some land that belonged to a man named Naboth who would not sell or trade it, even for better land. I devised a scheme to help my poor ole hubby out, (he was busy pouting, and I can't stand to see a grown man sulking). My plan worked like a charm! All I had to do was simply tell a little lie and have the man put to death. What is my name?
6. I was the oldest of my father's thirteen children. My only sister was named Dinah, and I once protected my next to youngest brother, Joseph, from being killed by my other brothers! (How noble of me; not to mention the fact that my dad would have probably wrung my neck for allowing such a thing to happen!)
What did my dad say about me, on his deathbed?
7. I was a devout Jew of the sect of the Pharisees. I once invited Jesus to my home, in an effort to be friendly, and was appalled at the fact that he allowed a known prostitute named Mary to touch him as she washed His feet with her tears!
What was my name?
8. My brother, Jonathan and my father, King Saul, both died on the same day, albeit under different circumstances. Two brothers, Rechab and Baanah, decided to kill me, as I lay resting in my bed, hoping to please the new king of Israel, David. He was anything BUT pleased, and demanded their lives for their trouble.
What was my name?
9. My dad's name was Simon, and he was from the town of Kerioth. I once felt that it was downright criminal for a very expensive ointment to be applied to the feet of my mentor. At least, I pretended to be offended. I was the treasurer of our little group, and my ulterior motive was to criticize the effort because I myself could have used the money that it had cost!
What was my name?
10. I was a false prophet, who during the time of Paul wished to turn a man named Sergius Paulus away from the teachings of Barnabas and Paul. My REAL name was Elymas, (which means "sorcerer"), but by what name was I going by when they met me?
