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'.
 
God bless
