Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first mention of the word 'everything' in the NKJV Bible is Genesis 1:25. The verse states: "And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." According to Scripture what day was it when God made the beast of the earth?

Answer: Day 6

According to Scripture, God made the beast of the earth on the sixth day. Scripture states man was also created on the same day.

Genesis 1:24-29 tells what happened on the sixth day: "Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind'; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' And God said, 'See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Incidentally, the word 'everything' appears three times in the first chapter of Genesis.
2. After Genesis 1, the word 'everything' in the NKJV appears next in Genesis 6:17. The verse tells of the LORD proclaiming news of a massive flood which would engulf the world: "And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die." According to Scripture, the LORD revealed plans for the flood to Noah and, of all people, only he and his wife survived.

Answer: False

False. According to Genesis 7:13, Noah and his wife as well as his three sons and their wives survived the flood by taking refuge in the ark Noah had built. The names of Noah's three sons are Shem, Ham and Japheth. However, the name of Noah's wife, as well as the names of the wives of his three sons, is not given. In other words, eight people survived the flood.
3. 1 Kings 14:26 tells of a ruler taking 'everything' from the house of the LORD and the king's house. The verse in the NKJV states: "And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made." Scripture goes on to tell of the Israelite king replacing Solomon's gold shields with ones made of bronze. Who was the grand thief who took 'everything?'

Answer: Shishak

The culprit is Shishak. 1 Kings 14:25-27, in the NKJV, tells of his exploits: "It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made. Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king's house."

The website Christiananswers.net provides this information about Shishak: "His reign was one of great national success, and a record of his wars and conquests adorns the portico of what are called the 'Bubastite kings' at Karnak, the ancient Thebes. Among these conquests is a record of that of Judea. In the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign Shishak came up against the kingdom of Judah with a powerful army. He took the fenced cities and came to Jerusalem. He pillaged the treasures of the temple and of the royal palace, and carried away the shields of gold which Solomon had made (1 Kings 11:40; 14:25; 2 Chronicles 12:2). This expedition of the Egyptian king was undertaken at the instigation of Jeroboam for the purpose of humbling Judah. Hostilities between the two kingdoms still continued; but during Rehoboam's reign there was not again the intervention of a third party."
4. One of the verses in the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament of the English Bible, that contains the word 'everything' is part of a modern folk song. The first verse goes like this: "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." What book contains the verse?

Answer: Ecclesiastes

The verse in question comes from Ecclesiastes 3:1.

Much of the third chapter of Ecclesiastes was set to music in 1959 by Pete Seger and in 1965 The Byrds, an American band, released a rendition of the song titled "Turn, Turn Turn (to Everything There is a Season)". The song quickly became an international hit. According to Wikipedia, "Turn, Turn Turn (to Everything There is a Season)" hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was popular for a number of reasons, not the least of which was it struck a chord with a world which was desperately seeking peace at a time when the War in Vietnam was dominating the headlines and newscasts of the day. According to Wikipedia, the song was first released by the folk group The Limeliters on their 1962 album "Folk Matinee". Wikipedia reports Judy Collins also released a version of the song in 1963. However, the version by The Byrds would prove to be far and away the most successful.

Here's how Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 reads in the NKJV:
"To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace."
5. The following verse containing the word 'everything' is from Nehemiah 9:6 in the NKJV: "You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You." True or false: The statement was made by eight Levites -- Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiahsde.

Answer: True

True. Verse 5, the preceding verse, states the proclamation was made by the eight Levite men during an occasion when the Israelites "assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, with dust on their heads," to confess their sins to the LORD. The ninth chapter of Nehimiah is devoted to the occasion with the vast majority of the chapter devoted to the words of Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiahsde.
6. The following verse, containing the word 'everything,' is from Psalm 69:34 in the NKJV: "Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them." Out of the four options below, who is generally credited with writing a large number of the Psalms?

Answer: David

David is the correct answer, although his son Solomon is credited with writing at least two -- Psalm 72 and Psalm 127. While it is generally believed David wrote a large number of the Psalms, many theologians believe a number were written by various people over a long period of time.

Notes in the NKJV Study Bible explain things this way: "...the poems in the Psalms were written over a thousand years, from the time of Moses in the Fifteenth century B.C. to the time of Ezra in the Fifth century B.C. Although David is the main author associated with the composition of the Psalms, many other authors from various time periods contributed psalms to what would become the Book of Psalms."

The NKJV Study Bible notes also state the psalms were written for singing. "These were songs for public worship in the temple of ancient Israel," the notes state. "As such, they contain musical conventions peculiar to music and worship during that time."
7. Acts 17:24, in the NKJV, tells of Paul making the following statement to a group of people: "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands." Where was Paul when he made the statement? (Hint: He was in a city where there was an altar constructed in honor to an unknown god.)

Answer: Athens

Paul was in Athens when he made the statement. According to Scripture, Paul had an attentive audience when he made his pitch, professing Jesus as the Son of God. However, things apparently went awry when he started talking about resurrection of the dead. Acts 17:32 states some mocked Paul after he talked about the issue while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter." Nevertheless, according to verse 34, some Athenians became believers in a resurrected Jesus Christ "among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them."

Acts 17:22-32, gives this detailed account of Paul's presentation: "Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, 'Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.' And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, 'We will hear you again on this matter.' So Paul departed from among them. However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them."
8. 1 Corinthians 1:5, in the NKJV, contains the word 'everything'. Can you complete the missing word from the passage? "...that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all _________."

Answer: knowledge

The missing word is 'knowledge'. To put the verse in context, here's how 1 Corinthians 1:4-8, reads in the NKJV: "I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

1 Corinthians 1:5 reads this way in the NIV: "For in him you have been enriched in every way -- with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge."

1 Corinthians, as well as 2 Corinthians, was written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. The two books were addressed to members of the early church in Corinth, a city in Greece.
9. The following verse, containing the word 'everything', is from 2 Corinthians 8:7, as per the NKJV: "But as you abound in everything -- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us -- see that you abound in this grace also." What is the additional grace the Corinthians were told to abound in?

Answer: Giving

The correct answer is 'giving'. To put Verse 7 in context, here's how it reads with the previous six verses, as in the NKJV: "Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality. For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God. So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. But as you abound in everything -- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us -- see that you abound in this grace also."

The subhead for the chapter in the NKJV states 'Excel in Giving.'

In the NIV, Verse 7 reads: "But since you excel in everything -- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you -- see that you also excel in this grace of giving."

The book, as well as 1 Corinthians, was written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. According to the website Christiananswers.net, Corinth was a city on the isthmus which joins the Peloponnesus to the mainland of Greece. "It was noted for its wealth, and for the luxurious and immoral and vicious habits of the people," the website sates. "It had a large mixed population of Romans, Greeks, and Jews."
10. The following verse, containing the word 'everything', is from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in the NKJV: "...in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Who is widely accepted as the author of 1 Thessalonians?

Answer: Paul

Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, is credited with writing 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians in the New Testament of the English Bible. In fact, Paul is credited with writing a total of thirteen books in the New Testament. The eleven other books he is credited with writing are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon.

Some people believe Paul also wrote Hebrews, but there is no conclusive proof of this.
