4. Here is an interesting point to ponder. In Hebrews 9:15-20 in the King James Version of the Bible, we see mention of a testament. While most Christians are familiar with the Old and New Testaments found in their Bibles, what exactly does the word "testament" imply? Hint

7. According to Hebrews 13:9-14 (KJV), why was it necessary for Jesus to suffer outside the city of Jerusalem on the hill of Golgotha? Hint

the hill of Golgotha was inside the city; therefore this is an inaccurate assumption

the people could not bear to watch the pain or the suffering

it had been established under the Mosaic law that the sacrificial animal should be burned outside the camp

NEXT>

8. Of whom is the author of Hebrews referring to in the 11th chapter verse 37 when he states,

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to the 5th chapter of the book of Hebrews, how do Christians believe that Christ became privileged to become our high priest? See verses 4-6 and verse 10.(KJV)

Answer: God called upon him to do it

The fourth verse states that "no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that was called of God, as was Aaron."

2. According to Hebrews 4:1-11, in the King James Version we are told that God has finished or will finish his work at a particular time. When does it say that time is or will be?

Answer: from the foundation of the world.

The last part of the third verse says, "...although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." In other words, God's work is already completed, but we, as actors upon a stage, must go through our lines and be given the opportunity to make our choices freely.

3. Who is the king that is mentioned in Hebrews as having no mother, no father, no beginning and no end of life? Hebrews 7:1-10

Answer: The king of Salem

The king of Salem, also referred to in this passage as Melchisedec, may be interpreted as a "type" of Christ, in that as a part of the Godhead, He has no mother, father, beginning or end.

Answer: that someone has died and left behind a will

Verse 16 tells us that in order for a will to be testated legally, that "there must also of necessity be the death of the testator."
Many Christians believe that just as the Old Testament may be thought to represent the death of all the prophets, so may the New Testament be considered to be God's will being accomplished through the death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ.

Answer: he preferred suffering to pleasure

Moses chose "rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;" Hebrews 11:25 (KJV). Let's face it; there IS a measure of fun in sin, but the ultimate price tag is far greater than anyone truly wants to pay. After all, "the wages (earnings) of sin is death," according to Romans 6:23.

6. It is not clear exactly who wrote the book of Hebrews, but why does this author say in Chapter 12 verses 5-11 in the King James Version that God corrects his children?

Answer: for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness

In verse 7 of this passage in the King James Version we are informed that
"If ye endure chastening (discipline), God dealeth with you as sons..."
God does not get a thrill out of being "mean", anymore than an earthly parent should when correcting their children.
He simply wants what is best for us. No parent in their right mind would consider allowing their child to play in the middle of a busy thoroughfare of traffic, and even though the child might think they were being "mean", the parent has the child's best interest at heart if they prevent such dangerous behavior.

7. According to Hebrews 13:9-14 (KJV), why was it necessary for Jesus to suffer outside the city of Jerusalem on the hill of Golgotha?

Answer: it had been established under the Mosaic law that the sacrificial animal should be burned outside the camp

Under the Mosaic Law, (the law of Moses), the sacrificial animal was to be taken outside the camp of the people to be burned. Jesus fulfilled this legal criteria, as the "Lamb of God", and in verse 13 we see that we are instructed to "go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach."
This is interpreted by many Christians to mean that we must approach Jesus as our mediator and the one who can forgive us of our sins.

8. Of whom is the author of Hebrews referring to in the 11th chapter verse 37 when he states, "They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented"? (King James Version)

Answer: men and women of faith

This entire chapter, often referred to as the "Faith Hall of Fame", is a tribute to those who throughout Jewish history have suffered for the sake of God's will for mankind.

9. How did Jesus obtain a more excellent name than the angels, according to Hebrews 1:4? (KJV)

Answer: by inheritance

Verse 4 says plainly that Jesus inherited the better name. An inheritance is something that is passed down from generation to generation, and Jesus received this from His heavenly Father. Christians believe that as joint-heirs with Christ, we too, may share the inheritance of a better name with Him.

10. What type of city does Hebrews 11:8-10 state that Abraham was looking for when he traveled as a wandering nomad in the land of God's promise? (KJV)

Answer: one with foundations

The 10th verse tells us that he was looking "for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
Now, all cities have some sort of foundation, but the implication here seems to be that this foundation is so solid that nothing can ever shake or remove it from existence.
