The Egyptians encamped at ____ when they pursued the Israelites

Détails de la réponse

The Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth when they pursued the Israelites. To understand this, we need to go back to the story of the Exodus in the Bible. According to the book of Exodus, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and God chose Moses to lead them out of slavery and into the promised land. After a series of plagues and miracles, the Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go. However, soon after leaving Egypt, the Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army. The Israelites were trapped between the pursuing army and the Red Sea, but God miraculously parted the sea and allowed the Israelites to pass through safely. After the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea, the pursuing Egyptian army followed them into the sea, but God caused the waters to return and drown the army. The Bible says that the Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth before pursuing the Israelites, so that is where they were when they were drowned in the Red Sea.

"For the men in the ship knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord". The person referred to in this statement is________

Détails de la réponse

The person referred to in the statement is Jonah. The statement is a reference to the Biblical story of Jonah, who was a prophet in ancient Israel. In the story, Jonah was commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to preach against its wickedness. However, Jonah didn't want to do this and instead decided to flee on a ship to Tarshish. During the journey, a great storm arose, and the men on the ship became fearful for their lives. They eventually realized that Jonah was the cause of the storm because he was running away from God's command, and they threw him overboard to appease God. Jonah was then swallowed by a great fish, and after three days and nights, he was vomited onto the shore by the fish. Therefore, the phrase "For the men in the ship knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord" refers to the realization of the sailors that Jonah was trying to escape from God's will, which caused the storm to come upon them.

Détails de la réponse

One of the most significant lessons from the emergence of Deborah as a leader is that gender difference isn't a limitation to leadership. Deborah was a prophetess and judge who led the Israelites during a time of oppression by the Canaanites. Despite living in a patriarchal society where men were typically the leaders, Deborah's wisdom and courage were recognized and respected by both men and women. Her leadership not only resulted in the defeat of their enemies but also brought peace to the land for forty years. Therefore, the lesson from Deborah's emergence as a leader is that one's gender should not be a limiting factor in leadership. What matters most is one's ability, character, and commitment to lead effectively.

Détails de la réponse

According to Jeremiah, the Lord's new covenant will be made with the "house of Israel and the house of Judah." The prophet Jeremiah lived during a time when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, he speaks of a new covenant that the Lord will make with the people of Israel and Judah, in which He promises to write His laws on their hearts and to be their God. This new covenant is seen as a fulfillment of the promises made by God to His people and as a renewal of the relationship between God and His people. It is also seen as a symbol of the restoration of the unity of the people of Israel and Judah and the reunification of the kingdom. In the New Testament, Christians believe that this new covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who through His death and resurrection established a new covenant between God and humanity. Through faith in Jesus, people can be reconciled to God and become part of the new covenant community.

"It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" what was to be divided?

Détails de la réponse

"It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" refers to a live baby that two women claimed as their own. This story is recorded in the Old Testament book of 1 Kings chapter 3, where King Solomon was faced with the difficult task of determining which of two women was the real mother of a baby. Both women claimed that the baby belonged to them, and Solomon had to decide who was telling the truth. His solution was to propose cutting the baby in half and giving each woman an equal share. The true mother's love for the child was revealed when she begged the king to spare the baby's life and give it to the other woman instead. Solomon then declared that the first woman, who was willing to give up her claim to the child rather than see it harmed, was the true mother. Therefore, the phrase "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" refers to the live baby that King Solomon was called upon to judge and which he ultimately saved by revealing the true mother's identity.

"Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." This statement was made__________

Détails de la réponse

The statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was made by an angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (the mother of James) who had come to Jesus' tomb on the morning of his resurrection. According to the Bible, after Jesus was crucified and buried, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb to anoint his body with spices. When they arrived, there was a great earthquake and an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled back the stone from the tomb, and sat on it. The guards who were watching the tomb were terrified and became like dead men. The angel then spoke to the women, saying "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying" (Matthew 28:5-6). The women were overjoyed at the news and hurried to tell the disciples, who later saw Jesus alive and were convinced of his resurrection. Thus, the statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was a message of comfort and assurance from the angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, confirming the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to rise from the dead and providing them with evidence of his resurrection.

The accusation of blasphemy against Moses, the law and God was levied against _______

Détails de la réponse

The accusation of blasphemy against Moses, the law and God was levied against Stephen. In the book of Acts in the New Testament of the Bible, Stephen was a man full of faith and wisdom who was chosen as one of the seven deacons to serve the needs of the community of believers in Jerusalem. However, he was also known for preaching about Jesus and performing miracles, which led to some people becoming jealous and angry with him. During a debate with some of these people, Stephen made a long speech in which he recounted the history of the Israelites and their relationship with God. He criticized the religious leaders for not following God's laws and for rejecting Jesus as the Messiah. This enraged the crowd, and they accused him of speaking blasphemous words against Moses, the law, and God. As a result of these accusations, Stephen was arrested and brought before the Jewish high council, where he continued to defend his beliefs. Eventually, he was stoned to death, becoming the first Christian martyr.

The model example in St. Paul teaching on humility is ______

Détails de la réponse

The model example in St. Paul's teaching on humility is Jesus Christ. In Philippians 2:5-8, Paul wrote about the importance of humility and the example that Jesus Christ set for us. He urged his readers to have the same attitude that Christ had, which involved putting the needs of others before our own and serving them with humility and love. Paul described Jesus as one who, "being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:6-8). This passage shows that Jesus, who was fully God, willingly took on human form and became a servant, putting the needs of others before his own. He humbled himself by submitting to death on a cross, even though he had the power to save himself. In doing so, Jesus set the ultimate example of humility and self-sacrifice, which serves as a model for all Christians to follow. Therefore, St. Paul's teaching on humility is centered around the example of Jesus Christ, who showed us the ultimate act of humility and selflessness through his life, death, and resurrection.

For how long did the Lord supply the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness?

Détails de la réponse

The correct answer is: Forty years. According to the Bible, after the children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt, they wandered in the wilderness for forty years before entering the Promised Land. During this time, the Lord provided them with food in the form of a substance called manna, which was described as being like coriander seed and tasting like honey (Exodus 16:31). The manna appeared on the ground each morning, and the Israelites were instructed to gather enough for their daily needs, with the exception of the day before the Sabbath, when they were to gather enough for two days (Exodus 16:4-5). The manna continued to appear every day for the entire forty-year period, until the Israelites reached the border of the Promised Land and were able to eat from the produce of the land (Joshua 5:12). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Forty years. The other options do not accurately reflect the length of time that the Lord supplied the Israelites with manna in the wilderness.

The name "Jezreel" is a representation of ______

Détails de la réponse

The name "Jezreel" represents the punishment to come unto the royal house. In the Old Testament, Jezreel was a city in Israel that became associated with God's judgment upon the ruling family of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, due to their wickedness and disobedience. The prophet Hosea also named his son "Jezreel" as a symbolic act to indicate that God would soon punish the royal house of Israel for their sins, just as He had punished the house of Ahab in Jezreel. Therefore, the name "Jezreel" signifies divine judgment and punishment.

The core of St Paul's advice on dignity of Labour is that

Détails de la réponse

The core of St. Paul's advice on the dignity of labor is that Christians should be productive and work diligently in whatever occupation they have, as if they are working for the Lord. In the Bible, St. Paul emphasizes the importance of work and the need to avoid idleness. He encourages Christians to work hard, not just to support themselves, but also to support others who may be in need. St. Paul believed that labor was a way to honor God and to demonstrate love for others. In his letter to the Colossians, St. Paul wrote: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 3:23-24). St. Paul also worked hard himself, despite facing many challenges and difficulties, and encouraged others to follow his example. He wrote, "We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you" (2 Thessalonians 3:7-9). Thus, the core of St. Paul's advice on the dignity of labor is that Christians should work hard and be productive in their occupations, not just to support themselves, but also to serve others and honor God.

Peter advised Christians to _______as they were sharing Christ's sufferings

Détails de la réponse

The Apostle Peter, in the New Testament of the Bible, advised Christians to rejoice as they were sharing in Christ's sufferings. This advice can be found in 1 Peter 4:13 where it says, "But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed." Peter's message was that Christians should not be discouraged or fearful when they face suffering or persecution because they are not alone in their struggles. Instead, they should be joyful because they are united with Christ and are partakers in his sufferings. Rejoicing in the midst of trials may seem counterintuitive, but Peter understood that suffering produces perseverance, character, and ultimately, hope. By rejoicing in their sufferings, Christians can develop a deeper understanding of God's love and grow in their faith. Therefore, the answer to the question is "Rejoice."
