Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. As part of a covenant with Noah, God is quoted as saying in Genesis 8:22 in the NKJV, "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease."

Answer: True

True. Genesis 8:22 contains part of a covenant God made with Noah after the world was destroyed by a massive flood. Details about the covenant appear in Genesis 8:20-22. The passage states God announced His covenant after Noah constructed an altar of sacrifice.

Verses 21-22 in the NKJV explain the covenant: "And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, 'I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease'."
2. In what book in the Old Testament do you read about three Hebrew men being thrown into a furnace that was "exceedingly hot", yet they survived?

Answer: Daniel

The account of three Hebrew men -- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego -- being thrown into a fiery furnace and emerging unscathed is found in the Book of Daniel. According to Daniel 3:22 in the NKJV, the furnace was "exceedingly hot" as the flames of the fire killed the men who were supposed to be leading Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego to their deaths. Daniel 3:25 states when authorities checked the furnace, they were astounded to see the three Hebrew men "walking in the midst of the fire" with the form of a fourth described as like "the Son of God."

The three three men were tossed into the furnace when they refused to bow and worship an image constructed by King Nebuchadnezzar.
3. The following verse containing the word 'cold' is from the NKJV: "As cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a far country." In what Old Testament book do you find this verse?

Answer: Proverbs

The verse about cold water to a weary soul is from Proverbs 25:25. Chapter 25 is much like the rest of the Book of Proverbs in the sense it contains a number of wise and witty sayings. For example, Verse 24 in the NKJV, states, "It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, than in a house shared with a contentious woman." Meanwhile, Verse 26 offers this pearl of wisdom: "A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well."
4. Who instructed the Israelites to "not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot" and to have guards in place?

Answer: Nehemiah

Nehemiah is the correct answer with his command not to open the gates of Jerusalem until the "sun is hot" found in Nehemiah 7:3, using the NKJV. Nehemiah was instrumental in leading a group of Israelite exiles in construction of a wall around Jerusalem. Chapter 7 of Nehemiah goes on to list the names of the exiles who were involved in the massive project.

Incidentally, the three other names given as possible answers -- Sanballat, Tobiah and Geshem -- were Gentiles who were vehemently opposed to Nehemiah's construction of the wall.
5. "And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward," is a quote found in Matthew 10:42, using the NKJV. Who made the statement about the cup of cold water?

Answer: Jesus

The statement in Matthew 10:42 about giving a cup of cold water to a little one was made by Jesus.

To put the verse in perspective, here's how Matthew 10:40-42 reads in the NKJV: "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward."

The verse is part of a passage in which Jesus gives advice to the original Twelve Disciples. The names of the disciples are given at the beginning of Chapter 10 and the chapter ends with Jesus telling of giving a cup of cold water to a little one.
6. The following verse containing the word 'hot' is from Proverbs 6:28 in the NKJV: "Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared?" Who is credited with writing most of the content in the Book of Proverbs?

Answer: Solomon

Solomon, the son of David, is credited with writing most of the content in the Book of Proverbs. Proverbs 6:28 is part of a passage warning about the dangers of adultery. To put the verse in context, here's how Proverbs 6:27-29 reads in the NKJV: "Can a man take fire to his bosom and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be seared? So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent."
7. Acts 28:2 in the NKJV contains the word 'cold' and states, "And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold." Do you know what incident had taken place shortly before this fire was kindled when it was raining and cold?

Answer: A shipwreck off the coast of Malta

After Paul and others survived a shipwreck off the coast of Malta, Scripture tells of the natives creating a fire to give the survivors some warmth from the rain and the cold. The account in the NKJV goes on to tell of Paul gathering a bundle of sticks and putting them on the fire when a viper came out and bit him. When people saw the viper hanging from Paul's hand, they were of the opinion he was a murderer and "justice does not allow to live." However, when Paul shook off the viper into the fire and did not suffer any harm, the people became convinced he was a god.

See Acts 28:1-6 for details.
8. In what book does Paul warn about a great apostasy in which many people will have their own conscience "seared with a hot iron"?

Answer: 1 Timothy

In 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Paul warns about a great apostasy in which many people will depart from the faith. In Verse 2, in the NKJV, Paul tells Timothy many people will be found "speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron".

Paul issues a similar warning in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 but there is no mention of the words 'hot' or 'cold' using the NKJV.
9. What worker in the early church tells, in 2 Corinthians 11:27, about some of his tribulations that include being hungry, thirsty, cold and naked?

Answer: Paul

In 2 Corinthians 11:22-28 Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, gives a list of incredible suffering he had endured to preach the Gospel. Among other things, he had been whipped on five different occasions, beaten with rods three times and shipwrecked three times. Then in Verse 27, Paul tells of being hungry, thirsty, cold and naked.
10. Revelation 3:16 denounces a church for being neither cold nor hot. The verse in the NKJV states, in part "...because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." In what city was the lukewarm church?

Answer: Laodicea

The church at Laodicea is described as lukewarm, neither cold or hot, according to John's vision as recorded in Revelation 3:16. Because of the Laodicean church being lukewarm, there would be dire consequences, the verse states.

John, in his vision on the island of Patmos, also had messages for six other churches, in addition to the one at Laodicea. The churches were in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis and Philadelphia.
