CorrectIncorrectHint
Pictures painted by skilled professional artists are used throughout this series to help acquaint you with the world’s only divinely inspired book, the Bible. Although about forty different men of varying backgrounds, castes, and cultures had a part in writing the Bible over a period of sixteen hundred years, it contains a remarkable unity of message and harmony of purpose. This harmony is no accident. These writers were guided by Divine Wisdom. Therefore, the Bible is the mind of God in human language. The apostle Peter said, “. . . for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21).

This chart shows that the Bible is actually a library of sixty- six books. The top 3 shelves represent the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament. The bottom shelf represents the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. Both testaments are very important to the Christian, but the New Testament books are the Christian’s guide for today.

CorrectIncorrectHint
Three periods of Bible history are implied in Romans 5:12-21: Adam to Moses, Moses to Jesus Christ, and from Jesus Christ on. These three eras are known as The Patriarchal Age, The Mosaic Age and the Christian Age. Notice at the bottom of the charts that during the first period God spoke to the fathers. In the second period He gave His law by Moses. In the third period, in which we now live, the gospel came by Jesus Christ. Once a person sees the overall picture of the Bible, he is able to understand, appreciate and study it more intelligently.

Question 8 of 100
8. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The first verse of the Bible tells that God is the Creator. The time of creation was “in the beginning.” Scientists now recognize five components that make up the world: time, force, energy, space and matter. All these components are in the very first words of the Bible: “In the beginning (time), God (force) created (energy) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter).”

Next, God spoke, “‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself . . . .’” Every living thing was created first by miracle, full-grown and able to reproduce after its kind. But after the miracle creation, reproduction followed according to God’s natural laws. Though begun by miracle, God’s creation is sustained by constant natural laws.

Question 10 of 100
10. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Having prepared the earth for man’s home complete with plant and animal life for his welfare, God then said, “‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness . . . .’” Since God is Spirit, His offspring is also a spirit being. Man’s fleshly body is only the temporary house of the spiritual man or soul which is destined to live forever. Therefore, man, made in God’s image, was God’s highest creation on earth. He is far different from all other creatures. When God the Father, said, “‘Let Us make man . . .’” He was speaking to the other two personalities of the Godhead: Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who were coexistent with Him from eternity. God made man ruler over all His creation when He said, “‘. . . let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth . . .’” (Genesis 1:26).

Question 13 of 100
13. Question

The garden of Eden was God’s special home for Adam and Eve. God provided the garden because of His great love. It was a paradise on earth! God also gave Adam and Eve the ability to make a choice.

God said, “‘ . . . for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die’” (Genesis 2:17). “Death” always involves a “separation.”

CorrectIncorrectHint
While in the beautiful garden God’s children enjoyed a perfect home. In addition, they could eat of the “tree of life” and all the other trees except one: “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” But Satan told Eve that if she ate of the forbidden tree she would not die as God had warned. He promised her that instead she would become wise like God. Believing Satan’s lies, Eve ate the forbidden fruit, then shared it with her husband. Instead of becoming wise, they became ashamed. They tried to hide from God because they knew they had sinned. In the Bible the word “sin” means disobedience to God’s will.

21. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pronouncing a curse upon the Devil, God said, “‘And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel’” (Genesis 3:15). Centuries later, Jesus, “born of a woman” (Galatians 4:4), was crucified for our sins. In this way the Devil bruised Jesus’ heel: that is, gave Him a minor injury. But in rising from the dead, Jesus bruised the serpent’s head: that is, He gave the Devil a crushing blow from which he can never recover. Jesus proved that we, too, may overcome death through Him.

He knew that Jesus, the Perfect Sacrifice, would eventually be offered to pay the full price for all sin.

Question 25 of 100
25. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
In the course of time Cain and Abel offered sacrifices to God. By faith Abel offered a lamb. He received God’s approval. But God had no regard for Cain and his offering of the fruit of the ground. Instead of being sorry, Cain became very angry and ultimately killed his own brother. Cain and Abel are examples of two kinds of worshipers: (1) those who worship by faith according to God’s instructions, and (2) those who worship, but not in keeping with God’s will. God approves of worship only when man worships as He directs. God will not accept man’s substitutes.

CorrectIncorrectHint
Everyone else had rejected Noah’s warnings. In rejecting these warnings they were also rejecting God’s love. Therefore when God shut the door of the giant boat no man could open it. The flood rose to the tops of the mountains. The day of God’s mercy was gone! The wickedness of the wicked had sealed their own fate. Those who were not saved could blame only themselves. In this same way people are disregarding God’s warnings of today that He will destroy the earth by fire.

32. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:9, 10). As Noah warned his generation that the earth would be destroyed by water, so the Bible warns us today that the earth will be destroyed by fire.
-
Question 33 of 100
33. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Noah’s ark was lifted high above the land by the waters of the flood. The same waters that destroyed the wicked and cleansed the earth also served to save those who were in the ark.

Abraham and Isaac enter Bible history nine generations after the flood. During those intervening years Noah’s descendants lost faith in God. They defied Him in attempting to build the Tower of Babel.

-
Question 37 of 100
37. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Eventually God appeared to Abraham in the form of three men with good news. He revealed to Abraham that soon he and Sarah would have a son. God was now beginning to fulfill His promise to Abraham. When Sarah overheard their conversation, she laughed to herself because she and Abraham were almost a hundred years old – far too old to become parents. But later Abraham could thank God time and again for his son, Isaac. Isaac was born according to God’s promise within a year after Sarah laughed.
-
Question 38 of 100
38. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
During this confused and sinful time God chose Abram, who like Noah centuries before, stood above his generation. He wanted to please God. Because of his unquestioning faith, Abram loved and obeyed God. God directed Abram to leave his country and relatives. He said, “‘Get out of your country, From your kindred And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.’” Together with other great promises, God promised Abram that in his seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed. The promised seed was Christ (Galatians 3:16).

40. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
While still a boy Joseph dreamed that his brothers’ sheaves bowed down to his sheaf. He dreamed also that heavenly bodies bowed down to him.

God was speaking to Joseph through these dreams.
-
Question 41 of 100
41. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
When Joseph arrived at his brothers’ camp, they took him prisoner. They stripped him of his beautiful coat, threw him into a pit and sat down to eat, devoid of pity for their own brother. When a caravan headed for Egypt came by, the brothers sold Joseph to them as a slave. They dipped his many-colored coat in goat’s blood in order to deceive their father. When they showed their father the bloody coat he concluded that Joseph had been killed by a wild beast. For years he mourned Joseph’s death.
-
Question 42 of 100
42. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Even in prison Joseph continued to experience God’s protection and care. Soon he was placed in charge of all the other prisoners. God also empowered Joseph to interpret the dreams of Pharaoh’s butler and baker, who were in the prison. The butler dreamed that he again served wine to the king. The baker dreamed that his bread was eaten by birds. Joseph told the butler that his dream meant that he would be restored. He told the baker that his dream meant he would be hanged.

Question 44 of 100
44. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Finally, the king’s butler remembered how Joseph had interpreted his dream in prison two years previously. Immediately Pharaoh summoned Joseph from prison to interpret his dreams. After stating that only God could interpret dreams, Joseph revealed that the fat cows and fat ears of grain meant seven years of plenty. But the lean cows and lean ears meant that a seven-year famine would follow.
-
Question 45 of 100
45. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The king was so impressed that he placed Joseph in charge of gathering grain for the coming famine. Joseph was exalted to be the ruler of all Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself. In recent years great underground bins with hundreds of tons capacity have been discovered in Egypt. These bins resemble huge cisterns. Scholars believe that these bins are the ruins of ancient granaries.

Question 46 of 100
46. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Later, Joseph identified himself to his brothers. Since he believed his presence in Egypt was in keeping with God’s plans, he forgave them for selling him as a slave. He then introduced his brothers to Pharaoh who welcomed them to Egypt. At Pharaoh’s invitation their father, Jacob, moved all of his descendants and possessions to Egypt. They settled in Goshen, one of Egypt’s choicest areas. There they dwelled for several generations. They grew into a mighty people known as the children of Israel or Israelites.

CorrectIncorrectHint
Moses’ birth occurred many years after Joseph died. A new ruler had came to the Egyptian throne. He began to persecute Joseph’s people in spite of all that Joseph had done for Egypt. He made their lives unbearable through merciless slavery and other inhuman treatment. Moses was born during his reign. To reduce the number of Israelites in Egypt, the wicked king had ordered that as soon as an Israelite son was born he should be thrown into the Nile River. But the mother of Moses saved her son. She prepared a special basket and set baby Moses afloat on the Nile River in the reeds just off shore.

Question 50 of 100
50. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Moses’ resentment for the Egyptians continued to intensify. At the age of 40 he killed an Egyptian slave driver whom he saw beating one of his fellow Hebrews.

CorrectIncorrectHint
Moses and Aaron soon were allowed to appear before Pharaoh. They told him, “‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel ‘Let my people go . . . ‘” Pharaoh replied with contempt, “‘Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice . . . ?’” During a later visit, Aaron demonstrated God’s power. He threw down his rod and it became a snake! At first Pharaoh was not impressed because his court magicians also produced snakes. But Aaron’s snake swallowed all the other snakes! This showed that no other power could cope with the power of Almighty God. But Pharaoh was stubborn. He still denied the Israelites their freedom.
-
Question 54 of 100
54. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Moses immediately demanded that Pharaoh release the Israelites. Again Pharaoh refused. As a result, he and his people suffered grievous plagues at the hand of God.

Each plague showed God’s power over one of the many gods worshiped by the Egyptians.

God said, “‘Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt’” (Exodus 12:13).

CorrectIncorrectHint
Pictures painted by skilled professional artists are used throughout this series to help acquaint you with the world’s only divinely inspired book, the Bible. Although about forty different men of varying backgrounds, castes, and cultures had a part in writing the Bible over a period of sixteen hundred years, it contains a remarkable unity of message and harmony of purpose. This harmony is no accident. These writers were guided by Divine Wisdom. Therefore, the Bible is the mind of God in human language. The apostle Peter said, “. . . for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21).

Question 66 of 100
66. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Because of their sin Adam and Eve lost their paradise home, their close fellowship with God and their right to the “tree of life.” God had warned them also of death, a word involving “separation.” Spiritual death meant separation from God and eternal doom to their souls.

70. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
In the course of time Cain and Abel offered sacrifices to God. By faith Abel offered a lamb. He received God’s approval. But God had no regard for Cain and his offering of the fruit of the ground. Instead of being sorry, Cain became very angry and ultimately killed his own brother. Cain and Abel are examples of two kinds of worshipers: (1) those who worship by faith according to God’s instructions, and (2) those who worship, but not in keeping with God’s will. God approves of worship only when man worships as He directs. God will not accept man’s substitutes.

Question 72 of 100
72. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Noah and his family were the only people who still obeyed God. God chose to tell Noah about the coming flood. He also gave him instructions to build a great boat or ark of gopherwood. The life span of early Bible characters was long. Noah had the opportunity to preach to his generation for a great many years while building the ark. God was showing love and mercy even to these wicked people by allowing them time to repent and change their lives before the flood came.
-
Question 73 of 100
73. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Everyone else had rejected Noah’s warnings. In rejecting these warnings they were also rejecting God’s love. Therefore when God shut the door of the giant boat no man could open it. The flood rose to the tops of the mountains. The day of God’s mercy was gone! The wickedness of the wicked had sealed their own fate. Those who were not saved could blame only themselves. In this same way people are disregarding God’s warnings of today that He will destroy the earth by fire.

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:9, 10).

During this confused and sinful time God chose Abram, who like Noah centuries before, stood above his generation. He wanted to please God.

He said, “‘Get out of your country, From your kindred And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.’” Together with other great promises, God promised Abram that in his seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed. The promised seed was Christ (Galatians 3:16).

The highest creation of God on earth is .
CorrectIncorrectHint
Having prepared the earth for man’s home complete with plant and animal life for his welfare, God then said, “‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness . . . .’” Since God is Spirit, His offspring is also a spirit being. Man’s fleshly body is only the temporary house of the spiritual man or soul which is destined to live forever. Therefore, man, made in God’s image, was God’s highest creation on earth. He is far different from all other creatures. When God the Father, said, “‘Let Us make man . . .’” He was speaking to the other two personalities of the Godhead: Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who were coexistent with Him from eternity. God made man ruler over all His creation when He said, “‘. . . let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth . . .’” (Genesis 1:26).

CorrectIncorrectHint
While in the beautiful garden God’s children enjoyed a perfect home. In addition, they could eat of the “tree of life” and all the other trees except one: “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” But Satan told Eve that if she ate of the forbidden tree she would not die as God had warned. He promised her that instead she would become wise like God. Believing Satan’s lies, Eve ate the forbidden fruit, then shared it with her husband. Instead of becoming wise, they became ashamed. They tried to hide from God because they knew they had sinned. In the Bible the word “sin” means disobedience to God’s will.

CorrectIncorrectHint
Pronouncing a curse upon the Devil, God said, “‘And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel’” (Genesis 3:15). Centuries later, Jesus, “born of a woman” (Galatians 4:4), was crucified for our sins. In this way the Devil bruised Jesus’ heel: that is, gave Him a minor injury. But in rising from the dead, Jesus bruised the serpent’s head: that is, He gave the Devil a crushing blow from which he can never recover. Jesus proved that we, too, may overcome death through Him.
