Israel lost 30,000 soldiers in a battle with the Philistines because the Ark of God was captured. The Ark of God held great significance for the Israelites as it symbolized the presence and favor of God among them. However, during the battle, the Philistines managed to seize the Ark, effectively taking away God's symbol of protection and divine presence. This loss greatly demoralized the Israelite soldiers, causing them to lose faith and resulting in a significant defeat. The capture of the Ark highlighted the consequences of their spiritual and moral decline and the absence of God's favor in that particular battle.

Pilate sent Jesus to Herod for trial because he wanted to avoid being blamed for Jesus' death. Pilate was the Roman governor who had the authority to execute Jesus, but he was hesitant to do so because he found no fault in Jesus. However, the Jewish leaders insisted that Jesus be put to death, and Pilate did not want to anger them or incite a riot. Therefore, he decided to send Jesus to Herod, who was the ruler of Galilee and had jurisdiction over Jesus' case. Pilate hoped that Herod would take responsibility for the trial and decision regarding Jesus, and that he would not have to bear the blame for Jesus' death.

The discrimination in the daily distribution of relief items in the early church came up when the Hellenists (Greek-speaking Jewish Christians) complained about the neglect of their widows. The Hebrews (Aramaic-speaking Jewish Christians) were taking care of their own widows, but the Hellenists felt that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. This issue prompted the apostles to address the situation and led to the decision to appoint deacons to help with the distribution of relief items so that no one was neglected.

The quote "Why do you do such thing? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear..." is from the book of 1 Samuel in the Old Testament of the Bible. The sons being addressed were children of Eli. Eli was a high priest and judge in Israel who served in the tabernacle at Shiloh. His two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were also priests, but they were known for their wickedness and corrupt behavior. The quote is from a conversation between Eli and his sons, in which he rebukes them for their sinful behavior and warns them of the consequences of their actions. Despite his warnings, Hophni and Phinehas continued to sin, and they were eventually killed in battle as a result of their disobedience. The story of Eli and his sons serves as a warning about the dangers of corruption and the importance of living according to God's commands.

Zerubbabel and Jeshua led the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after the Jews returned from exile. Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah, and Jeshua was the high priest. Together, they led the first group of Jews who returned from exile in Babylon to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. They faced opposition from neighboring people who did not want the temple to be rebuilt, but Zerubbabel and Jeshua persevered and completed the temple in about 516 BC. This was a significant event for the Jewish people, as it marked the restoration of their worship of God in the temple, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Old Testament describe the rebuilding of the temple and the walls of Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Jeshua.

According to the book of Numbers in the Bible, Moses sent twelve spies, one from each tribe of Israel, to explore the land of Canaan. Among them was a spy from the tribe of Reuben, but the name of that spy is not given directly in the Bible. However, the Bible does mention the names of the twelve spies in the book of Numbers, chapter 13, verses 4-15. Therefore, we can eliminate the options that are not listed in these verses. The names of the twelve spies mentioned in these verses are Shammua, Shaphat, Caleb, Igal, Joshua, Palti, Gaddiel, Gaddi, Ammiel, Sethur, Nahbi, and Geuel. So, one of the spies Moses sent to the land of Canaan from the tribe of Reuben was either Shammua, Caleb, Igal, Palti, Gaddiel, or Gaddi. However, in verse 4 of Numbers 13, the Bible specifies that the spy from the tribe of Reuben was named "Shammua, the son of Zaccur." Therefore, the correct answer to the question is Shammua.

According to the Bible, at the time Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli, the word of God was rare and there were no frequent visions. This means that communication from God was not common or easily received during that period.

According to Jesus, a major condition for discipleship is to renounce all that one has. This means that a person must be willing to give up everything they have, including possessions, relationships, and even their own life, in order to follow Jesus. This teaching is recorded in several passages in the Gospels, including Luke 14:33, where Jesus says, "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." Jesus' call to renounce all that one has is a call to complete surrender and devotion to Him, and it requires a willingness to let go of anything that may hinder or distract from following Him. While baptism, overcoming temptation, and respecting parents and elderly people are all important aspects of Christian life, Jesus specifically emphasized the need for disciples to renounce all they have to follow Him.

The women who visited the tomb of Jesus on the first day, according to Luke's gospel, were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. These women were among the followers of Jesus who had been with him during his ministry and had helped support him and his disciples. After Jesus' crucifixion, these women had prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body, but because it was the Sabbath day, they rested and did not go to the tomb until the first day of the week, which was Sunday. When they arrived at the tomb, they found that the stone had been rolled away and that the body of Jesus was not there. They were perplexed and didn't know what had happened. Suddenly, two men in dazzling apparel appeared to them and said, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen" (Luke 24:5-6). The women were amazed and ran to tell the disciples what they had seen and heard. This event marks the beginning of the resurrection story in the gospels, and the women who were present at the tomb play a significant role in it.

The instruction "You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey" was given in connection with the appointment of Joshua to succeed Moses. In the book of Numbers chapter 27, God commanded Moses to climb a mountain to see the land of Canaan that God was giving to the Israelites. God also told Moses that he would not be the one to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land because he had disobeyed God at the waters of Meribah. So, Moses asked God to appoint a successor to lead the Israelites after he was gone. God then told Moses to take Joshua, his assistant, and lay his hands on him, and "invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey" (Numbers 27:20). Moses obeyed God's command and laid his hands on Joshua, passing some of his authority to him. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the instruction "You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey" was given in connection with the appointment of Joshua to succeed Moses as the leader of the Israelites.

This shows that James believes that personal prayer is also important, in addition to the intercession of the Elders. The Elders are called upon to pray over the sick, anointing them with oil, but James also emphasizes the importance of individual prayer and faith in God's healing power.

According to the Bible, Jesus made the statement "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death, remain here and watch with me" to three of his disciples - Peter, James, and John. This is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 26, verses 36-38. The statement was made at the Garden of Gethsemane, just before Jesus was arrested and crucified. He took Peter, James, and John with him and asked them to stay and watch with him while he prayed. He then went a little further away and prayed, saying, "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." Jesus was in great distress and agony, knowing that he would soon face betrayal, arrest, and death. He was asking for comfort and support from his disciples in this difficult time, but they were not able to stay awake and keep watch with him, as they kept falling asleep. Jesus then went back to them and said, "Could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that Jesus made the statement "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death, remain here and watch with me" to Peter, James, and John.

Peter holds the view that servants should be submissive and respectful not only to masters who are good and gentle but also to those who are overbearing and arrogant. In his teachings, Peter emphasizes the importance of showing respect and obedience to authority, regardless of the character or behavior of the masters. This principle is rooted in the belief that by displaying a respectful and submissive attitude, servants maintain a positive witness and reflect the teachings of Jesus. Peter encourages servants to endure hardship and mistreatment, trusting in God's justice and reward. By practicing humility and respect, even in difficult circumstances, servants can demonstrate their faith and potentially influence their masters towards righteousness.

a. Promises God Made to Joshua

The promises that God made to Joshua when he was appointed to lead the Israelites are found primarily in the Book of Joshua, though the themes of these promises are consistent with the teachings in the Synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Here are the key promises:

1. God's Presence and Support:

   - "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5)

   - This promise is about God's continuous presence and support, assuring Joshua that he would not be alone in his leadership.

2. Success and Prosperity:

   - "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go." (Joshua 1:7)

   - God promised success and prosperity if Joshua remained faithful to the Law.

3. Courage and Strength:

   - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

   - This emphasizes the need for Joshua to be courageous, reinforcing the promise of God's unending support.

4. Land and Inheritance:

   - "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses." (Joshua 1:3)

   - God promised the land to the Israelites as their inheritance, reiterating the promises made to Moses and the patriarchs.

b. Benefits of Fulfilling One's Promises

Fulfilling one's promises has significant benefits, both spiritually and practically, as can be drawn from the teachings in the Synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles:

1. Trust and Credibility:

   - Keeping promises builds trust and credibility. People are more likely to rely on and respect someone who is consistent in their words and actions.

2. Personal Integrity:

   - Fulfilling promises aligns with being a person of integrity, which is a valued characteristic in Christian teachings. Jesus emphasized the importance of integrity, such as in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:37): "Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'."

3. Blessings from God:

   - The Bible often links obedience and faithfulness to receiving God's blessings. Acts 2:42-47 describes how the early Christians, by living in community and fulfilling their promises to each other, experienced God's blessings in their lives.

4. Positive Relationships:

   - Promises kept lead to stronger and more positive relationships, as they demonstrate reliability and commitment to others.

5. Spiritual Growth:

   - Fulfilling promises can be an act of faith and devotion, leading to spiritual growth. By doing what we say, we emulate God's faithfulness and cultivate our own faith.

6. Peace of Mind:

   - Knowing that you have fulfilled your promises provides a sense of peace and satisfaction, reducing guilt and inner conflict.

By examining these benefits, we see that fulfilling promises not only enhances our relationships and reputation but also aligns with the values taught in the Bible, leading to spiritual and communal harmony.

a. Jezebel played a significant role in the death of Naboth by using her influence and power as the queen to have him falsely accused and sentenced to death. She conspired with wicked men to bear false witness against Naboth and then arranged for him to be stoned to death. After his death, she took possession of his vineyard for her husband Ahab. Jezebel's actions were motivated by her desire for power and material possessions, as well as her hatred for Naboth and his refusal to give up his ancestral land.

b. People can be greedy for a variety of reasons, such as the desire for power, wealth, or status. Greed can stem from a fear of scarcity or a need to feel important and valued. It can also be influenced by societal and cultural norms that place a high value on material possessions and success. Some people may have a compulsive need to accumulate more than they need or can use, which can lead to hoarding or other negative behaviors.

b. Measures a nation can take to prevent God's Wrath.

The Bible teaches that a nation can prevent God's wrath by turning away from their wicked ways and seeking Him. This can be achieved through prayer, repentance, and living in obedience to God's commandments. The nation's leaders play a vital role in this process by setting an example of righteousness and leading the people on the right path. The nation can also engage in acts of charity and justice, and seek to promote peace and unity within society.

a. The problem of discrimination in the early church was solved through the leadership of the apostles and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Initially, there were tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers, but the apostles recognized that all were equal in Christ and that the Gospel was meant for all people. The apostles, led by Peter and Paul, worked to break down the cultural barriers between Jewish and Gentile believers, and the Holy Spirit enabled them to come together as one body in Christ.

b. Discrimination in society can have many negative effects. It can lead to social division, inequality, and injustice, and can perpetuate cycles of poverty and oppression. Discrimination can also create feelings of resentment, anger, and mistrust among different groups in society, and can lead to violence and conflict. In addition, discrimination can limit the opportunities available to individuals, preventing them from reaching their full potential and contributing fully to society. It is important to work towards a society that values diversity, promotes equality, and respects the dignity and worth of all people.

While he was traveling to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus, he had a vision of Jesus and was struck blind. He then went to the city and met with a Christian named Ananias, who restored his sight and baptized him. After this, Saul began preaching about Jesus and faced opposition from some Jews who plotted to kill him. However, Saul was able to escape the city by being lowered down the wall in a basket.

b. There can be various reasons why people wish evil for others. Sometimes it could be due to jealousy or envy, as they might feel threatened or insecure by someone else's success or happiness. Other times, it could be due to resentment or anger towards someone who has wronged them in the past. In some cases, people may also wish harm on others because of their own beliefs or ideologies, or because of prejudices or biases they hold.

Overall, it's important to remember that wishing evil on others is never a productive or healthy way to deal with one's own feelings or problems. It's always better to try and work towards forgiveness and understanding, and to focus on building positive relationships with others.
