Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This first-born son was exiled from his home, doomed to wander the land. He went out into the land of Nod and built a city, which he named after his son. Who was he?

Answer: Cain

Genesis 4:16,17 - "So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch."

Cain, of course, is famously remembered as the first murderer, killing his brother Abel when God preferred Abel's offering over Cain's. The bible records his descendants to the sixth generation, at which point the great flood ended his line.
2. Genesis 6:15 - "This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high." Approximately how long was a cubit?

Answer: 21 inches

Webster's Dictionary defines a cubit as such:

"1. (n.) The forearm; the ulna, a bone of the arm extending from elbow to wrist.

"2. (n.) A measure of length, being the distance from the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger."

Scholars have come to settle on a common computation as a length of 20.24 inches for the ordinary cubit, and 21.89 inches for the sacred cubit. What this translates into for the given dimensions of the ark is approximately 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
3. The Lord told Abram to leave his homeland and to travel to the land that God would show him. After Abram and his household arrived in that land, the Lord told him, "To your offspring I will give this land." (Genesis 12:7) What was the name of the land?

Answer: Canaan

Canaan was the fourth son of Noah's son Ham. After Ham had seen his father passed out drunk and naked, he told his brothers about it. Afterwards, Noah laid a curse on Canaan:

Genesis 9:24-27 - "When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." He also said, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth's territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth."

All of this eventually led to the Israelites conquering the land of Canaan under Joshua after the Exodus, fulfilling God's promise to Abram.
4. Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian King who effected the Jewish exile (or captivity) had a dream about a statue that Daniel described and interpreted for him. According to the NIV, the statue had a head of gold, the chest and arms were made of silver, its belly and thighs were bronze, the legs were iron, and its feet were a mixture of iron and what?

Answer: Clay

Daniel explained the dream to the king, as described in Daniel 2:36-41:

"This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron-for iron breaks and smashes everything-and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay."

These symbolic parts of the statue have been interpreted to represent Babylon (the golden head), Medo-Persia (the silver chest and arms), Greece (the bronze belly and thighs), Rome (the iron legs), and post-Roman empire Europe (iron and clay feet).
5. In 538 BC, Persia conquered Babylon, nearly 60 years after the fall of Jerusalem and the exile and captivity of the nation of Israel in Babylon. Who was the conquering Persian king who decreed that the Jews could return to Jerusalem?

Answer: Cyrus II (the Great)

Cyrus II, also known as Cyrus the Great, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, ruling for approximately 30 years. His grandfather was Cyrus I, his father was Cambyses I, and his eldest son was Cambyses II.

One major thing that Cyrus the Great was known for was respecting the customs and religions of the lands that he conquered. It was from that respect that stemmed the Edict of Restoration, wherein Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Israel and begin the rebuilding of the Temple.
6. Jesus Christ performed His first miracle at a wedding, turning water into wine after the hosts had run out. Where did this take place?

Answer: Cana

Jesus performed the miracle, but he did so reluctantly, as He was not intending to begin His ministry quite yet (according to His own words). Even so, it provided a foundation for his disciples to believe in the power of Jesus.

John 2:1-3 - "On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, 'They have no more wine.'
'Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. 'My hour has not yet come.'"

John 2:11 - "What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him."
7. After Jesus was betrayed and tried, Pontius Pilate relegated him to his soldiers, who stripped him, put a scarlet robe on him, put a staff in his right hand, and "twisted together a ____________ and set it on his head". What phrase goes in the blank from the NIV?

Answer: Crown of thorns

Matthew 27:29b-31 - "Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. 'Hail, king of the Jews!' they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him."
8. What was the name of the Roman centurion who is believed to be the first gentile to convert to the Christian faith?

Answer: Cornelius

Both Cornelius and Peter had dreams from God that brought them together. Peter's vision showed him that what God had shown his chosen people (the Jews) was also being made available to the gentiles (everyone else).

Acts 10:1,2 - "At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly."

Acts 10:45-48 - "The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 'Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.' So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days."
9. The Epistle of Colossians was written to the church at Colossae in Phrygia on the upper Lycus River. The modern city of Chonos is nearest the site where Colossae once stood. In which country is it?

Answer: Turkey

The church at Colossae was founded by Epaphras, and Paul had not visited it prior to writing the letter. Colossae was itself destroyed in an earthquake in the ninth year of Nero's reign in Rome and then rebuilt. Today, there is only a mound where Colossae once stood, and Chonos is the nearest town. The nearest large city is Puerto Montt.
10. I John 2:3 states "We know that we have come to know him if we keep his _________." What does the author say they need to keep (NIV)?

Answer: Commands

I John 2 covers such topics as 'love and hatred for fellow believers,' 'on not loving the world,' 'warnings against denying the Son,' and 'God's children and sin.'

John did not write this letter to any specific church, as Paul did with his epistles, but it was a general letter to the whole church, warning them against the pitfalls that can befall new Christians.
