Moses could not enter the Promised Land because he
Maelezo ya Majibu
Moses could not enter the Promised Land because he disobeyed God. According to the biblical narrative, Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and to the Promised Land. However, when they reached the border of the land, Moses disobeyed God's command to speak to a rock to bring forth water, instead of striking it with his staff as he had done before. Because of his disobedience, God told Moses that he would not be allowed to enter the Promised Land but would die in the wilderness. Therefore, the correct option is "did not give due regard to God."

Maelezo ya Majibu
According to the Bible, God revealed to Solomon that the kingdom would be divided after him because he worshipped other gods. Despite his wisdom, Solomon turned away from God and began to worship the gods of his many wives. As a result, God warned Solomon that his kingdom would be taken away and divided among his rivals. This prophecy was fulfilled after Solomon's death, as his son Rehoboam struggled to hold the kingdom together, leading to a division between the northern and southern tribes of Israel.

Maelezo ya Majibu
When the disciples thought that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately, Jesus told them the parable of the pounds. This parable is also known as the parable of the talents in another gospel account. In this parable, a nobleman goes on a journey and entrusts his servants with a sum of money (pounds or talents) to invest while he is away. When he returns, he calls his servants to account for their investments. The ones who invested wisely and made a profit were rewarded, while the one who buried the money was punished. This parable teaches us that we are all given talents and resources by God, and we will be held accountable for how we use them. It also emphasizes the importance of being faithful and diligent in our service to God, even in the face of delay or uncertainty regarding the coming of the kingdom.

"To your tents, O Israel" was a signal for a rebellion. In the Bible, this phrase is mentioned in the context of a revolt led by Jeroboam, who rebelled against King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. After Solomon's death, the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts, with Jeroboam ruling over ten tribes and Rehoboam over two. However, Rehoboam's harsh policies led to discontent among the people, and Jeroboam seized the opportunity to rebel against him. When Rehoboam mobilized his army to suppress the rebellion, the prophet Shemaiah advised him to desist, and the phrase "To your tents, O Israel" was used as a rallying cry for Jeroboam's followers. This led to a split in the kingdom and a period of division and conflict between Israel and Judah.

Who was unfaithful to her husband as Israel was to God ?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The person who was unfaithful to her husband as Israel was to God is Gomer. She was the wife of the prophet Hosea, and their marriage was a picture of God's relationship with His unfaithful people, Israel. Gomer's unfaithfulness to her husband and her eventual return to him through Hosea's love and forgiveness represented Israel's unfaithfulness to God and God's love and mercy towards them. Gomer's story is found in the book of Hosea in the Old Testament, where God instructs Hosea to take Gomer as his wife, even though He knew she would be unfaithful. This was to demonstrate God's enduring love for His people, even when they are disobedient and unfaithful to Him.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The occasion referred to in the above statement is when the Lord fought for the people of Israel by drowning the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were being pursued by the Egyptians, but God performed a miracle by parting the Red Sea and allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. However, when the Egyptians attempted to follow, the waters closed in on them, drowning them all. Therefore, the statement "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still" was Moses' encouragement to the Israelites as they witnessed the miraculous defeat of their enemies.

Maelezo ya Majibu
"Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you" is a statement made by Isaac. In the Bible, Isaac is the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob. When Isaac was old and blind, he wanted to give his blessing to his firstborn son Esau. However, Jacob, with the help of his mother Rebekah, tricked Isaac into giving him the blessing instead. As a result, Esau was angry and vowed to kill Jacob. To protect Jacob, Rebekah sent him away to her brother Laban's house. On the way, Jacob had a dream in which God appeared to him and reaffirmed the promises that he had made to Abraham and Isaac. In this dream, God said to Jacob, "Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you" (Genesis 27:29, NRSV). This promise was part of the covenant that God had made with Abraham and Isaac, and it was eventually fulfilled when Jacob became the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.

The message of the risen Christ to the woman who came early to the tomb was to be relayed to the disciples and to Peter.

Pharaoh oppressed the Israelites because he feared that they might become too numerous and join his enemies to fight him. According to the book of Exodus in the Bible, the Israelites had settled in Egypt during a time of famine and had become prosperous. This worried the new Pharaoh, who did not remember Joseph or the Israelites' contribution to Egypt's prosperity. To control their population, he ordered them to be enslaved and worked them harshly. He also ordered the midwives to kill all male infants at birth, but they defied him, and the Israelites continued to grow in number. This led to further oppression and eventually, the Exodus, where God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

Maelezo ya Majibu
According to the Bible, in the book of Matthew, Jesus Christ said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God." This means that those who make peace between people and bring harmony to conflict situations are considered to be blessed and favored by God. The phrase "sons of God" implies a close relationship with God and a sharing in His divine nature. Therefore, being called the "sons of God" indicates that peacemakers will enjoy a special relationship with God and receive His approval. Additionally, the statement "they shall inherit the earth" can be interpreted as meaning that peacemakers will be rewarded with prosperity and blessings in this life as well as in the life to come. In summary, the statement "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God" means that those who work to bring peace and harmony to others will receive God's blessings and be rewarded with a close relationship with Him, as well as prosperity and blessings in this life and the next.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The statement, "Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles," was made by Paul. To provide some context, this statement was made by Paul during his trial before the Jewish council in Jerusalem. Paul had been preaching the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles, and some of the Jewish leaders were angry with him for what they saw as a betrayal of their traditions. During the trial, Paul gave a passionate defense of his actions, but when he realized that his words were not having the desired effect, he made the statement in question. Essentially, he was saying that he had done nothing wrong, and that the responsibility for any harm that came as a result of his preaching would be on the heads of those who opposed him. He then declared that he would turn to the Gentiles, meaning that he would focus his efforts on preaching to non-Jewish people instead. This was a significant shift in his ministry, as up until that point he had primarily been preaching to Jews. Overall, this statement reflects Paul's commitment to spreading the gospel message, even in the face of opposition and persecution.

Maelezo ya Majibu
Having a good knowledge of the scriptures is NOT a condition for being a disciple of Jesus. While having knowledge of the scriptures is important, it is not a prerequisite for becoming a disciple of Jesus. Instead, Jesus called on his followers to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and confess Him as Lord. This means that being a disciple of Jesus requires a willingness to surrender our own desires and submit to God's will, to endure hardships and suffering, and to openly acknowledge our faith in Jesus Christ. These conditions reflect a deep commitment to following Jesus and living a life that is pleasing to God.

Jonah was a prophet who was swallowed by a great fish and was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights before being spit out alive. Jesus used this story as a metaphor for His own death and resurrection. He would be buried for three days, just as Jonah was in the belly of the fish, and then rise from the dead. This was the ultimate sign of His authority and messianic role, and it confirmed His claims to be the Son of God.
