However, Herod died shortly after the birth of Jesus, and the Holy Family was able to escape to Egypt to avoid being killed by Herod's soldiers.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The laws given by Moses to the children of Israel in Sinai have striking similarities with the Code of Hammurabi. The Code of Hammurabi is a set of ancient Babylonian laws created by King Hammurabi around 1754 BCE. These laws were inscribed on a large stele and included regulations for criminal and civil matters, as well as rules for commerce, property, and family law. Many of the laws given by Moses in Sinai, which are recorded in the Hebrew Bible, show striking similarities to the Code of Hammurabi. For example, both sets of laws include rules for restitution, compensation, and punishment for crimes such as theft, murder, and false witness. Additionally, both the Code of Hammurabi and the laws given by Moses contain provisions for protecting the rights of women, children, and slaves. They also both reflect the cultural values and beliefs of their respective societies. Overall, while there are some differences between the two legal codes, the similarities suggest that the laws given by Moses may have been influenced by earlier legal traditions, such as the Code of Hammurabi.

Under King _______, Daniel was thrown into the lion's den.
Akọwa Nkọwa
The answer is Darius. Daniel was a prophet in the Bible who lived during the Babylonian captivity. He was known for his wisdom and ability to interpret dreams. However, some of the other officials in the king's court were jealous of him and plotted against him. They convinced King Darius to pass a law that forbid anyone from praying to any god or man except for the king himself. Despite the new law, Daniel continued to pray to God as he had always done. When the officials found out, they reported him to the king. Even though Darius liked Daniel, he was forced to enforce the law he had signed. As punishment for breaking the law, Daniel was thrown into a den of lions. However, God protected Daniel and he was unharmed by the lions. The next morning, Darius rushed to the lion's den to see if Daniel was still alive. To his relief, Daniel emerged from the den unharmed. This experience led Darius to proclaim that the God of Daniel was the one true God, and he passed a new law allowing people to worship Him.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The penultimate plague God put in Egypt before the Israelites were set free was the Plague of Darkness. This was a supernatural darkness that covered the land of Egypt for three days, during which time nobody could see or move around. The darkness was so thick that it could be felt, and it was said to be a darkness that could be "felt". According to the Bible, the Plague of Darkness was sent by God to punish Pharaoh and the Egyptians for refusing to let the Israelites leave Egypt. The darkness was a sign of God's power and a warning to Pharaoh that he needed to obey God's command to release the Israelites. It was also a way to protect the Israelites from any potential attacks by the Egyptians during their journey to freedom. After the three days of darkness had passed, Pharaoh agreed to release the Israelites. This led to the final plague, the Plague of the Firstborn, in which the firstborn of all the Egyptians were killed, but the Israelites were spared because they had followed God's instructions to mark their doors with the blood of a sacrificial lamb. This event is commemorated in the Jewish holiday of Passover.

Akọwa Nkọwa
In Paul's letter to the Romans, it is written that all who were baptized into Christ were also baptized into His death and resurrection. This means that when someone is baptized into Christ, they are identifying with His death and resurrection, and are united with Him in a spiritual sense. The old self, which is enslaved to sin, is put to death through this identification with Christ's death, and the new self is raised to life through identification with His resurrection. This is a symbol of salvation and a way for believers to experience the power of Christ's death and resurrection in their own lives. Baptism is not about suffering, but about being united with Christ and experiencing His salvation.

This bread was called manna, and it miraculously appeared every day on the ground around the Israelites' camp in the wilderness.

Manna was the main source of food for the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering in the desert.

Abraham circumcised Isaac eight days after he was born because God commanded him to do so. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant that God made with Abraham and his descendants. It was a way for Abraham and his family to show their commitment to God and to demonstrate that they were part of God's chosen people. The act of circumcision was also a way for God to set apart Abraham and his descendants from other people and to mark them as special and chosen by Him.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Paul, a disciple of Jesus and an apostle, wrote letters to early Christian communities that are now part of the New Testament in the Bible. In one of his letters, he advised Christians to avoid associating with a brother who is "living in idleness". This means to avoid being close friends with someone who is lazy and not working to support themselves. Paul believed that it was important for each person to contribute to society and not be a burden on others. He encouraged Christians to live responsible and productive lives and to avoid those who do not follow this principle.

According to Paul's letter to the Philippians, Christ demonstrated His humility by coming to earth as a servant. Christ, who was God, willingly left the glory of heaven to become a human being and live among us. He did not come to be served but to serve, and he demonstrated this by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and even washing the feet of his disciples. Ultimately, he showed his humility by dying on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, even though he was innocent. Through his sacrificial death and resurrection, he showed us the ultimate example of love and selflessness.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The law books used for the great reformation of Israel's social and religious institution were found in the temple in 621 BC during the reign of Josiah. To explain further, Josiah was a king of Judah who ruled from 640-609 BC. In the course of repairing the temple in Jerusalem, the high priest Hilkiah discovered a book that was later identified as the Book of the Law, which contained the laws and commandments given by God to Moses. Josiah recognized the significance of the discovery and initiated a series of religious reforms based on the teachings in the book. This event is described in the Old Testament book of 2 Kings 22-23. Therefore, the correct answer is 621, Josiah.

This statement, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" was made during the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This event is also known as Palm Sunday, which occurred during the last week of Jesus' life before his crucifixion. The people of Jerusalem greeted Jesus as he rode on a donkey, laying their cloaks and palm branches on the road before him and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9). This event fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, which said that the king would come to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The people of Jerusalem recognized Jesus as the Messiah and welcomed him with joy and celebration, but later in the week, many of these same people would turn against him and demand his crucifixion.

According to the Bible, Jesus told his disciples that they were not to take a bag, a wallet, or extra clothing when they went on their journeys to spread the message of the gospel. The only item they were allowed to take was a staff. This was to demonstrate their reliance on God and to show that they were not going on the journey to accumulate wealth or material possessions. The idea was to emphasize the simplicity and humility of their mission, and to trust in God to provide for their needs along the way.

He blessed the food and broke it into pieces, and his disciples distributed it to the crowd. Despite the fact that there was not enough food to feed so many people, everyone was able to eat their fill, and there were even twelve baskets of food left over. This miracle is significant because it demonstrates Jesus' power to provide for and nourish his followers, both physically and spiritually.

Akọwa Nkọwa
According to Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, as long as an heir is a child, he is under guardians and trustees. This means that when a child is too young to take care of themselves and their inheritance, they need someone to look after them and manage their affairs on their behalf. These people are responsible for protecting the child's interests until they are old enough to do so themselves. In the same way, Paul uses this analogy to explain that before Christ came, people were like children who needed the law to guide and protect them. However, now that Christ has come, they no longer need the law as they have grown up and can live by faith. So, the guardians and trustees in the analogy represent the law, and the child represents the people who lived under it before Christ.

The men who said, "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace," were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and they were thrown into the furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar had made a golden statue and commanded that everyone in his kingdom worship it. However, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were Jews, refused to worship the statue and remained faithful to their God. This angered the king, and he ordered that they be thrown into a fiery furnace as punishment. But the three men expressed their faith in God and said that they believed He would be able to save them from the furnace. Their faith was rewarded when God miraculously saved them from the fire, and they emerged unharmed.

According to James, the man who prays to God and at the same time doubts is "double-minded". This means that the person is not fully committed to their faith or belief in God, and is also entertaining thoughts or feelings of doubt and uncertainty. Being double-minded can lead to indecision and inconsistency in one's actions, as the person may vacillate between trusting in God and relying on their own understanding or worldly knowledge. James suggests that such a person is unstable and unlikely to receive anything from God because their faith is not steadfast. Therefore, in order to receive answers to prayers, James encourages believers to have unwavering faith and to trust in God wholeheartedly without doubting.

Akọwa Nkọwa
With Moses still at Mount Sinai, the Israelites asked Aaron to "produce another god for them". This event is recorded in the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible. The story goes that while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments from God, the Israelites became anxious and restless. They turned to Aaron, Moses' brother and the high priest, and demanded that he make them a god to worship. Aaron, fearful of the people, complied with their request and instructed them to bring him their gold jewelry. He then melted the gold and fashioned it into the shape of a calf, which the Israelites began to worship and offer sacrifices to. When Moses returned from Mount Sinai and saw what the Israelites had done, he was filled with righteous anger and smashed the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. He then confronted Aaron about his role in the creation of the golden calf, and ordered that the idol be destroyed and those responsible for its creation be punished. The story of the golden calf is seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of idolatry and the importance of remaining faithful to God's commandments. It is also a reminder that leaders have a responsibility to resist the pressures of the crowd and remain true to their values and beliefs. In summary, with Moses still at Mount Sinai, the Israelites asked Aaron to "produce another god for them" to worship, which he did by fashioning a golden calf out of their jewelry. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of idolatry and the importance of remaining faithful to God's commandments.

Initially, Gideon was hesitant and doubted his ability to lead such a mission, but God assured him that He would be with him and help him to achieve victory. The phrase "you will smite the Midianites as one man" means that the Israelites would defeat the Midianites with a unified and coordinated effort, as if they were facing only one enemy. Ultimately, Gideon and his army were successful in defeating the Midianites with God's help.

According to Matthew and Mark, Jesus spoke these words on the cross at the ninth hour, just before he died.

The complaints of the Hellenists led to the appointment of the deacons in the early church. In the early days of Christianity, there were two groups of Jewish believers: the Hebraic Jews and the Hellenistic Jews. The Hebraic Jews spoke Aramaic and had a more traditional Jewish background, while the Hellenistic Jews spoke Greek and had been influenced by Greek culture. There were complaints from the Hellenistic Jews that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. This led to a dispute among the believers, which the apostles resolved by appointing seven men to serve as deacons. These deacons were responsible for ensuring that the needs of all believers were being met, including the Hellenistic widows. This event is recorded in the New Testament book of Acts, chapter 6, and it marks the beginning of the formal organization of the early Christian church. The appointment of the deacons was an important step in ensuring that all believers were cared for and that the church could grow and thrive.

Those who keep all the laws but fail at one are guilty of all. This concept comes from the Bible, specifically James 2:10, which states: "For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it." The idea behind this statement is that the law is a unified whole, and breaking any part of it is a violation of the entire law. It's not a matter of tallying up individual offenses and weighing them against good deeds, but rather acknowledging that even one transgression is enough to make someone a lawbreaker. This principle has implications for religious and ethical frameworks that emphasize the importance of living a virtuous life. It suggests that being "good" in most areas but falling short in others is not enough, and that true moral excellence requires consistent adherence to all principles and standards.
