Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Christian denomination is known for its Saturday worship services as well as its emphasis on the imminence of Christ's return?

Answer: Seventh-day Adventist Church

Adventism was initially rooted in the teachings of William Miller, who unsuccessfully predicted the end of the world in the mid-19th century.

2. Which evangelical radio personality predicted that the world would end on May 21, 2011, and publicized his prediction on billboards throughout the U.S.?

Answer: Harold Camping

When his prediction proved false, Camping revised his doomsday forecast to October 21, 2011, saying that he had misunderstood the order of end times events.

Answer: James

James 5:8 reads, "You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near" (NIV). Several books in the New Testament indicate that the authors thought the Second Coming of Christ was imminent.

Answer: Pat Robertson

In 2010, Robertson blamed a massive earthquake that killed as many as 200,000 Haitians on a supposed "pact with the devil" the nation had made two centuries earlier.

5. Which pair of Christian authors wrote a series of books in which they theorized about those "left behind" after the Rapture?

Answer: Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins

By 2011, the "Left Behind" series consisted of 16 books and three feature films. The first book was published in 1995.

6. According to the writer of 1 Thessalonians (NIV), how can Christ's impending return be best characterized?

Answer: like a thief in the night

1 Thessalonians 5:2 says, "for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night" (NIV). Paul was traditionally assumed to be the author of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. However, many modern scholars question the authorship of those books.

7. How many times does the word "Armageddon" appear in the New Testament (NIV)?

Answer: 1

Though many Christians place great emphasis on the Second Coming and related events, the New Testament has few references to many of these concepts. Armageddon -- the final battle between good and evil -- is one such concept; it is found in the New Testament (Revelation 16:16) only once.

8. Known for its door-to-door mission efforts and Watch Tower publications, which denomination declares that the last days began in 1914?

Answer: Jehovah's Witnesses

At various times, Watch Tower publications attached eschatological significance to the years 1878, 1914, 1918, 1920, and 1925.

9. Which end-times happening do many Christians believe will result in them being united with Jesus Christ in the air? Blondie got all caught up singing about this event.

Answer: Rapture

Those who believe in the Rapture are divided over the order of end-times events. Camps include those who believe in a pre-tribulation Rapture and those who believe in a post-tribulation Rapture.

10. Which prolific Christian author suggested that the world could end by the close of the 1980s in his book "The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon"?

Answer: Hal Lindsey

Lindsey is one of many failed end-times prognosticators.
