BIBLE CHARACTERS (Disciples, Apostles & Prophets)
See if you can answer the following questions correctly before the checking the answers given below:
41.Say, I pray thee, what's in a name?! For an individual whose name means trickster, I really lived up to the name. Not only did I double-cross my twin brother out of his blessing, I swindle my father-in-law of a large portion of his livestock. My life was transformed the day my name was changed.
42. I am one of the well-known prophets in Israel. A unique feature some of my prophetic utterances is the prominence given the birth, life and exploits of the Messiah.
43.I am a prophet with a call and mission to warn the children of Israel about the danger / consequences of rebellion to the Most High God. I faced a lot of opposition and persecution including jail terms and burning of my book of prophesy. When my prophetic utterances were fulfilled, I constantly demonstrated an inclination that is least expected of an adult but quite rampant among kids and bereaved ones. Who am I? And what is the inclination / habit?
44.I am one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. I happen to be the only disciple who entered the judgment hall with the Lord - even though I did it secretly.
45.I am one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. Same goes with my brother. If you address me by my initials, I probably will respond. But so will my brother. Who are we? What are our initials?
46.I am one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. A prominent and vocal one too. I vowed that I will not ___________ my Master not even once. I was right; I didn't do it once; I did it thrice! Who am I? And what did I vow that I would not do?
47.I am one of the apostles. I wrote a large portion of the epistles in the New Testament. Who am I?
48.I am generally credited as the disciple who preached the first sermon in an evangelical crusade in the Christian church on the day of Pentecost. Who am I?
49.I penned a book in the bible that offered quite a revelation into what will happen in the end times. Who am I? And which book in the bible am I referring to?
50.My name has become almost synonymous to the words 'betrayer' or 'backstabber'.
