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?

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?
