From Quiz The Midnight Hour in the Bible

Answer: Death of the firstborn

The tenth and final plague unleashed on Egypt involved the death of the firstborn. No one, except the Hebrews, were exempt. Exodus 12:29 in the NKJV states, "And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock." After the plague of the firstborn, the Pharaoh granted permission to the Israelites to leave the country and journey to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Answer: Egypt

Egypt was devastated by a punishing series of plagues unleashed by God with the tenth and final plague being the death of the first born. Details about the deadly plague can be found in Exodus 11:1-10 and Exodus 12:29-42. The firstborn in every Egyptian household died during the plague, with the same fate handed out to their livestock. Miraculously, the Israelites were spared the misery and suffering. According to Exodus 12:29, the mass slaughter took place late at midnight. Scripture states that God unleashed ten plagues on Egypt to convince the Pharaoh to give permission to the Israelites to leave the country and travel to Canaan, known as the Promised Land. In the process, the Israelites became fully aware of the mighty power of God as well as His deep love for them.

Answer: Adam

Adam is the correct answer, as per Genesis 2:21-22. According to the verses, God caused Adam to go into "a deep sleep" and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place.

After meeting his wife, Adam is quoted as saying, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man."

Answer: Elijah

Elijah is the correct answer. According to 1 Kings 18, Elijah and the prophets of Baal had a showdown to see who could call upon a higher power to ignite a sacrificial offering on Mount Carmel. The 450 prophets called on Baal and Elijah called on the LORD with Elijah being the clear winner, according to Scripture. During the showdown, when the prophets of Baal were not getting any response to their request, Elijah started taunting them. 1 Kings 18:27, in the NKJV, tells of Elijah's taunting: "At noon Elijah began to taunt them. 'Shout louder!' he said. 'Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened." Elijah is well known for many things, but perhaps the best known story involving him is his duel with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.

Answer: Adam

Adam is the correct answer. According to Scripture, God took Adam's rib and used it to create the first woman -- Eve. Geneses 2:21-24, in the NKJV, states: "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

From Quiz What Dreams May Come

Answer: Egypt

This occured soon after the visit from the wise men. Matthew 2:13 says, "Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, 'Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him'." Joseph obeyed what the angel told him and took Mary and Jesus to Egypt where they stayed until the death of Herod. According to Matthew 2:15, this fulfilled the prophecy from Hosea 11:1, which said, "...And out of Egypt I called My son".

From Quiz Biblical Dreams

Answer: His wife

Matthew 27:19 KJV says: "When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him." Pilate's wife (Abrokia) sent a message to her husband as he was holding court over Jesus, asking him to have nothing to do with condemning Jesus because of her dream. God must have shown her fearful things that could befall her and her family, as well as Israel. But why? Christians believe Jesus' death was ordained. Perhaps both Pilate and his wife were simply meant to be a testament of Jesus as King of the Jews, and an innocent man, dying for the sins of mankind. Judas Iscariot believed Jesus to be King even as he betrayed Him with that identifying kiss. Pilate washed his hands in full view of the crowd below, telling them Jesus was a "Just" man, and that he was innocent of his blood.

From Quiz The Midnight Hour in the Bible

Answer: Samson

Samson, a judge of Israel noted for his immense strength, is the correct answer. Judges 16:1-3 tells of Samson visiting an unnamed harlot in Gaza and when others caught wind of the incident, they surrounded the place and waited to kill him in the morning. Verse 3 tells of Samson saving his life by suddenly leaving the harlot's house at midnight and departing the city in grand fashion. The verse in the NKJV states: "And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron." Scripture goes on to tell of Samson falling in love with Delilah, a Philistine woman from the Valley of Sorek.

Answer: Jacob

It boggles the mind, but according to Genesis 32:22-32, Jacob was involved in a wrestling match that lasted all night with God. At the end of the marathon struggle, Jacob ended up with a new name -- Israel. Genesis 32:28, in the NKJV, quotes God telling Jacob of his new name, "for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed." Using the KJV, NKJV and the NIV, this is the first mention of Israel in Scripture. According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Israel is translated as 'Prince with God'.

Answer: Ham

According to Scripture, after the Great Flood Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard and ended up becoming drunk. When Ham saw his drunken father sleeping naked in his tent, he went and told his two other brothers, Shem and Japheth. The two brothers responded by going backwards into their father's tent to cover his nakedness. They entered the tent backwards so they would not see their father naked. See Genesis 9:20-23 for details. Scripture goes on to tell of Noah arising and announcing a curse for the offspring of Canaan and blessings for Shem and Japheth. Canaan was the son of Ham.

Answer: Jacob

Jacob is the correct answer. According to Genesis 28:10, Jacob was traveling west from Beersheba to Haran when he camped for the night. Verse 19 in the same chapter states the place had been called Luz, but Jacob "called the name of that place Bethel." According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Bethel literally means 'House of God.'

Answer: Sisera

Sisera was the commander of an opposing army and after his troops were wiped out in a lop-sided battle with the Israelites, he had no choice but to flee. Scripture states he fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. Sisera was vanquished and he quickly accepted Jael's offer of hospitality to take refuge in her tent. However, it would prove to be a deadly mistake. Judges 4:18-21, tells what happened: "And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, 'Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear.' And when he had turned aside with her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket. Then he said to her, 'Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.' So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him. And he said to her, 'Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' you shall say, 'No.' Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died."

From Quiz What Dreams May Come

Answer: Four beasts

Daniel had the dream and then wrote down the main details. Daniel 7:2-3 reads, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other". After being troubled by the dream, Daniel asked someone for the interpretation of the dream, and the person replied, "Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings which arise out of the earth" (Daniel 7:17). Here the kings represent different kingdoms. After the explanation given, Daniel asked of the interpreter more information about the fourth beast which was different. The interpreter replied, "The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces" (Daniel 7:23). As horrible as the fourth kingdom sounds, Daniel's dream ended with an everlasting kingdom being established by God.

From Quiz Biblical Dreams

Answer: Abimelech

Genesis 20:3-7 (KJV) reads as follows: "But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine." Abraham and Sarah devised this ruse of telling people they were brother and sister when passing through lands they weren't familiar with. While they were husband and wife, they were indeed also half brother and sister. They had the same father but different mothers. So they only told half-lies, which meant they also told half-truths. King Abimelech of Gerar found Sarah worthy of being taken as a wife or concubine even though she was now 90 years old. However, God told the king in a dream that Sarah was a married woman and that he must send her back to her husband. Abimelech made a plea to God because he didn't know about the ruse. He truthfully said to God he had not touched Sarah. God informed him that he was well aware of that and added that he kept Abimelech from touching Sarah. After reproving both Abraham and Sarah, she was set free and the king provided for them with livestock and silver. Abraham prayed to God to restore the wombs of Abimelech's household. God heard Abraham's prayer; the wombs of the king's household were opened. Author's note: It's worth mentioning that God had promised Abraham and Sarah a child in the same year as she was taken by Abimelech. Perhaps that's why he suffered the king to touch her not upon threat of death.

Answer: Boaz

Boaz was sleeping and then became "startled" at midnight when he realized there was a woman lying at his feet, as per Ruth 3:8 in the NKJV. The woman Boaz found lying at his feet at midnight was none other than Ruth. Scripture goes on to tell of Boaz and Ruth becoming husband and wife and the parents of a bouncing baby boy, Obed. Ruth 4:17 states Obed became the father of Jesse who became the father of David.

Samuel was a young boy in the care of Eli, a judge of Israel and high priest, when he hard a voice call out his name four times during the night, as per 1 Samuel 3:1-21. According to the passage, the first three times when Samuel heard the voice call out his name, he thought it was Eli calling him. However, on the fourth occasion, Samuel became fully aware it was actually God calling out his name. Scripture goes on to state Samuel was told about God's disgust for the corrupt practices of Eli's sons and that there would be divine retribution. The chapter, in the NKJV, concludes by stating Samuel grew and "the LORD was with him" and "all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the LORD."

Answer: Solomon

See 1 Kings 3:5 and 2 Chronicles 1:7. Solomon went to the bronze altar in front of the tent of meeting and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings on it. On that same night, God appeared to him and He not only granted him more wisdom than he asked for, but He also added many unsolicited blessings because Solomon's request was focused on serving God. (See 1 Kings 3:4-13 and 2 Chronicles 1:7-12.)

From Quiz Biblical Characters Who Were Dreamers

Answer: Joseph

Joseph is the correct answer. According to Genesis 37, he was seventeen years old when he had a dream of greatness that his eleven brothers would bow down to him. According to Scripture, Joseph's brothers were highly jealous of him over the fact their father Jacob favored Joseph over the rest. His dream of greatness infuriated them. Genesis 37:5-9 explains things this way in the NKJV: "Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, 'Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.' And his brothers said to him, 'Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?' So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words." The chapter goes on to tell of his brothers plotting to kill him, but eventually agreeing to sell him to Midianite traders passing through the area. The Midianites, in turn, took Joseph to Egypt where he was sold into slavery.

From Quiz Hope This Bible Quiz Doesn't Put You to Sleep - #2

Answer: David

David is the correct answer. According to 1 Samuel 26, David and Abishai sneaked into King Saul's camp and found the monarch sleeping with a spear beside his head. And this at a time when Saul was devoting practically all his time to kill David simply because of a severe case of jealousy. 1 Samuel 26:6-7, in the NKJV, states: "So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him. Then Abishai said to David, 'God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!'" David, however, refused to follow Abishai's advice, allowing Saul to live. According to Verse 12, the visit by David and Abishai was undetected because the LORD caused Saul and his soldiers to fall into a "deep sleep."

Answer: Samson

The correct answer is Samson, a judge of Israel who was betrayed by Delilah, his Philistine lover. According to Scripture, Samson's long hair was the key to his extraordinary strength. Judges 16:5 states five Philistine rulers each offered Delilah eleven hundred shekels of silver if she could discover the secret to his strength. After finding out Samson's hair was the reason for his brute strength, Delilah set the wheels in motion to betray him. Judges 16:19 states: "Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him." Scripture goes on to tell of Samson being taken captive by the Philistines. According to notes in the NKJV Study Bible, Delilah was the third Philistine woman that Samson became "entangled" with. The two others are mentioned in Judges 14:1 and Judges 16:1.

Answer: Pharaoh

In Genesis 40, Joseph had interpreted the dreams of the baker and the butler while they were all three in prison. In Genesis 41, the pharaoh had the dream and was troubled upon waking up, so "he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh" (Genesis 41:8). It was then that the butler remembered Joseph and told Pharaoh about him and Pharaoh called for Joseph. Before Joseph heard Pharaoh's dream, he told Pharaoh, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace" (Genesis 41:16). He then interpreted Pharaoh's dream and Pharaoh was pleased and gave Joseph rule over his house.

From Quiz Bible Events That Happened During the Night

Answer: Saul

Saul is the correct answer. According to Scripture, the king of Israel consulted with an unnamed female medium in En Dor who was successful in bringing up Samuel, the last judge of Israel. As result, Saul was able to communicate the with man who had installed him as king. According to Scripture, Saul was deeply troubled because the Philistine army had "gathered together" and was threatening the very existence of Israel. In addition, God had stopped communicating with Saul, largely because of his wickedness. However, Saul's worries and fears would grow even more after his late-night conversation with Samuel. 1 Samuel 28:15-20 tells of the conversation between the two men, with Samuel informing Saul that Israel would suffer a stinging military defeat against the Philistines, and that he and his sons would die in the battle. And sure enough, that's exactly what happened as 1 Samuel 31 provides details about the defeat of the Israelites and the deaths of Saul and his sons.

From Quiz It Happened While They Were Sleeping

Answer: Samson

When it comes to betrayal in the Old Testament, Samson's lover Delilah is in a league of her own. Samson was a judge of Israel who had super-human strength because of his long hair, Scripture states. Judges 16 tells of Delilah, Samson's Philistine lover, betraying him and receiving a massive amount of silver from his adversaries. While he was sleeping, Delilah called upon an unnamed man who cut Samson's hair, resulting in the loss of his super strength. Samson 16:21 tells of Samson's having his eyes gouged out, then being put in bronze fetters, and made a grinder in a Philistine prison.
