Answer: Jesus

Acts 7:56 "And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." Christ is usually sitting at the right hand of God (Colossians 3:1 "...where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.")

2. This man climbed a tree to see Jesus, visited with Jesus in his own home, and then stood to report to Jesus how he would change his behavior. Who was he?

Answer: Zacchaeus

Luke 19: 1-10 tells the story of Zacchaeus. Verse 8 reports "And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold."

3. What Philistine stood and taunted the Israelites to send a warrior to fight him?

Answer: Goliath

1 Samuel 17:8 "And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? Am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? Choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me." The Israelites were afraid. David, armed with a slingshot and five smooth stones, accepted the challenge.

4. What stood behind the camp of Israel as a barrier between the Israelites and the Egyptians?

7. Who or what stood still during an especially tough battle so that the Israelites could defeat the Amorites?

Answer: Sun

Joshua 10:12-14 reports that both the sun and moon stood still at Joshua's request so that the battle could be completed. Verse 13 says "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies...". Verse 14 says "And there was no day like that before it or after it...".

8. What stood in the most holy part of the temple?

Answer: Cherubim

2 Chronicles 3:10-13 "And in the most holy house he made two cherubims...and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward."

9. Balaam wanted to see Balak but something that he could not see stood in his way. Who or what was it?

Answer: Angel

Numbers 22 tells the story of Balaam. God did not want Balaam to honor Balak's request for a visit, but Balaam was going to try to keep everyone happy. Numbers 22:24 says "But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards...". The donkey Balaam was riding upon saw the angel and would not proceed. Balaam who couldn't see the angel became angry at the donkey and smote it.

This was after the resurrection. John 21:4 tells us "But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."
