Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Exodus 32:17-18 provides an account of Moses descending from Mount Sinai after meeting with God and then being informed by Joshua about "noise" coming from the Israelite camp. What event caused the noise?

Answer: Creation of a gold calf

When Moses descended from Mount Sinai after being with God for an extended period of time, Scripture states he was horrified to learn the Israelites had constructed a gold calf and worshipped it during his absence.

Exodus 24 tells of Joshua accompanying Moses part way up the mountain and then waiting for his return. It was on Moses' descent Joshua told him about an unusual amount of noise coming from the Israelite camp.

Scripture goes on to tell of Moses taking the gold calf and burning it with fire and grinding it into a powder. He then took the powder and scattered it on the water and forced the people to drink it.
2. Before conquering a Canaanite city, Joshua is quoted as telling the Israelites in Joshua 6:10 in the NKJV, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout." What was the name of the city in which the Israelites were instructed not to make any noise until Joshua told them to shout?

Answer: Jericho

Joshua commanded the Israelites not to make any noise until they were told to do so during the capture of Jericho. Details can be found in Joshua 6:1-30.

The passage tells of the Israelites marching around Jericho seven times with Joshua giving instructions to the people to shout when priests blew on trumpets. When the people shouted, the walls of Jericho came tumbling down and the inhabitants were slaughtered. The only apparent survivors were Rahab, a prostitute, and her family.
3. The following verse, containing the word 'noise', is from Judges 5:11 in the NKJV and is part of a song by a famous judge of Israel: "Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places, there they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts for His villagers in Israel; then the people of the LORD shall go down to the gates." Who is the judge who performed this song after the Israelites defeated Sisera and the Canaanite army in battle?

Answer: Deborah

Deborah, the only female judge of Israel, is the correct answer. She sang a rousing victory song after the Israelites scored a spectacular military victory over Sesera and the Canaanite army. Accompanying Deborah in the singing was none other than Barak, the commander of the Israelite army.

Words to the song of Deborah can be found in Judges 5:2-31.
4. 1 Samuel 4:14 in the NKJV tells of Eli hearing the "noise" of an outcry by the people. Scripture states when Eli found out what the outcry was about, he fell backwards off his seat and broke his neck. What event caused so much tumult among the Israelites?

Answer: The ark of God had been captured

According to Samuel 4:14-18, when Eli heard the "noise" of an outcry among the people, he inquired to find out what had happened. To his horror, Eli was told by an unnamed messenger that his two sons Hophni and Phinehas had been killed in battle and the ark of God had been captured by the Philistines.

It was when Eli heard about the capture of the ark of God that he fell backward off his seat and died after he broke his neck. According to the passage, Eli was ninety-eight years old and was heavy.

He had judged Israel for forty years.
5. According to 2 Kings 7:6 in the NKJV, God caused an army opposing the Israelites "to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses -- the noise of a great army." As a result they fled in fear and did not tangle with the Israelites. What country's army heard "the noise of a great army" and fled in fear?

Answer: Syrians

The Syrian army fled in fear when God caused them to hear "the noise of a great army." (In the NIV, the army is identified as being Aramean rather than Syrian.) According to 2 Kings 7:7, after hearing the divinely created noise, the Syrians arose and "fled for their lives" at twilight "and left the camp intact".

For further details, see 2 Kings 7:3-20.
6. 2 Kings 11:13 tells of a wicked queen of Judah hearing the noise of the people during an insurrection and heading to the temple of the LORD, apparently in an attempt to find safety. It would be all in vain, as she would be executed on the orders of Jehoiada the priest. What was the queen's name?

Answer: Athaliah

Upon hearing the noise of the people during an insurrection, 2 Kings 11:13 tells of Athalia, queen of Judah, heading to the temple of the LORD. Scripture goes on to tell of Athalia tearing her clothes and crying, "Treason! Treason!"

Jehoiada, the priest, then commanded the captains of the army to execute Athalia. Verse 15 in the NKJV quotes Jehoiada as saying. "Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her. Do not let her be killed in the house of the LORD."

Athalia was so wicked she even killed her grandchildren to ascend to the throne, as per 2 Kings 11:1.
7. Ezra 3:13 in the NKJV tells of people being unable to "discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off." What was the event that caused such raw emotion?

Answer: Beginning of work on restoration of the temple

The event that generated so much noise and raw emotion was the beginning of work on restoration of the temple in Jerusalem. According to Ezra 3:12, many of the old men "who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes," while others shouted for joy. Verse 13 goes on to state people could "not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off."
8. According to Old Testament Scripture, a prophet of God heard a "a noise, and suddenly a rattling" and then a bunch of bones came together. What was the prophet's name?

Answer: Ezekiel

Ezekiel is the correct answer. Ezekiel 37:1-14 states God led Ezekiel to a valley filled with bones. Miraculously the bones came back to life with Verse 7 in the NKJV sating, "...there was was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone."

According to Verse 11, the bones represented "the whole house of Israel."
9. The following verse from the New Testament contains the word 'noise' and was written by one of the original Twelve Disciples: "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." Which disciple wrote this verse?

Answer: Peter

The verse was written by Peter and is from 2 Peter 3:10. The verse is part of a passage telling of the return of Jesus. Peter is credited with writing 1 Peter and 2 Peter.

John and Matthew, two other members of the original Twelve Disciples, also wrote books in the New Testament. John (according to tradition) wrote the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John and Revelation, while Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew.

Thomas is not credited with writing any book in the New Testament.
10. The following verse containing the word 'noises' is from the NKJV: "And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth." In what New Testament book do you find this verse?

Answer: Revelation

The verse in question is from Revelation 16:18. The verse is part of a lengthy passage providing an account of seven angels pouring out seven bowls of horrific wrath on the world.
