  4. Noah, the Ark, and the Flood - Ch 6
  5. Abram (Abraham) and God’s chosen people - Ch 12
  6. Death of Joseph - Ch 50
158
Q

Genesis: What was the one thing that God told Adam & Eve that they could not do?

A

Eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

159
Q

Genesis: Describe what is sometimes referred to as the “not in Satan’s tale.”

A

In Gen 2:17, God told Adam & Eve “in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” In Gen 3:4, Satan told Eve “you shall NOT surely die.” The only difference between these two is the word “not”. Satan lied in the beginning and he has been lying ever since (John 8:44).

160
Q

Genesis: What lesson should be learned from the example of Cain and Abel’s worship to God?

A

Many today will claim that HOW we worship God does not matter, as long as we worship. Cain and Abel’s example shows that is not true. God was pleased with Abel’s sacrifice (worship) but not with Cain’s.

Q

A

8 - Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives.

162
Q

A

Noah did “according to all that God commanded him” (Gen 6:22; 7:5, 9, 16). When it came to Noah’s salvation (and that of his family), he was careful to do exactly what God commanded him to do - not adding to it or taking away from it.

163
Q

Genesis: The Flood of the OT was a shadow of what thing to come in the NT?

A

Baptism: Man can be saved by water…God can use water to wash sin from the life of an obedient sinner (1 Pet 3:21).

164
Q

Genesis: What three promises did God give to Abram (Abraham) in Gen 12?

A
  1. Land promise (go…“to a land that I will show you”)
  2. Nation promise (“I will make you a great nation”)
  3. Seed promise (“in you all families of the earth shall be blessed”)
165
Q

Genesis: The land that God promised to Abraham is a shadow of what thing to come?

A

The “promised land” for God’s chosen people of the OT (the Israelites) foreshadows a “Promised Land” for God’s chosen people of the NT (Christians).

166
Q

Genesis: What was Abraham’s wife’s name and what was the name of the “child of promise?”

A

Sarah; Isaac

167

A

Because they were the direct descendents of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel.

172
Q

Genesis: What is meant by the phrase, “the twelve tribes of Israel?”

A

Jacob (Israel) had twelve sons. All the descendents of each of the sons were considered a “tribe” and were named after that son (e.g. the “tribe of Judah”). Thus, the nation of Israel consisted of twelve separate tribes.

173
Q

Genesis: Which of Jacob’s sons was hated by his brothers, sold into slavery, and became second-in-command over all Egypt (second only to Pharaoh)?

A

Joseph

174
Q

Genesis: Near the end of Genesis, how did the Israelites end up in Egypt?

A

A famine drove them there.

175
Q

179
Q

180
Q

Exodus: The Passover of the OT was a shadow of what thing to come in the NT?

A

Christ, as the Lamb of God, became our Passover and it is through His blood that we can be spared from the second death. (1 Cor 5:7)

181
Q

Exodus: What does the word “manna” mean? How is it described?

A

“Manna” means “what is it?”; It is described a coming down from heaven; when the dew lifted it was like “a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground”; it was “like white coriander seed”; and the taste of it was like “wafers made with honey.”

182
Q

Exodus: How were the Israelites instructed to gather the manna?

A

They were to go out early (before the sun became hot) and gather enough for one day, every day for five days, and not leave any until the next day. On the sixth day they were to gather twice as much and leave some for the seventh day. There was no manna to gather on the seventh day (the Sabbath).

183
Q

Exodus: Manna in the OT was a shadow of what thing to come in the NT?

A

God has also provided us with manna from heaven. It is not food for the physical body but food for the spiritual body..the Bread of Life…the word of God. (John 6:58)

184
Q

Exodus: Describe Israel’s first battle. Where did it take place? Who were they fighting? What happened?

A

A

Priests; attendants to the priests.

189
Q

A

As priests, Nadab and Abihu were both in the process of worshipping God. However, they worshipped in a manner that was displeasing to God and he killed them with fire. Today, all Christians are priests and we too must worship in a way that God has instructed. HOW we worship matters!

  2. Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land.
199
Q

Numbers: Moses’ sin against God in striking the rock (Num 20) is a shadow of what lesson to be learned in the NT?

A

Disobedience against God can cause us to forfeit our inheritance - the Promised Land.

200
Q

Numbers: God sent “fiery serpents” among the Israelites and those who were bitten died. Why did God do this? How were the people saved from certain death?

A
  1. They had “spoken against God and against Moses,” even referring to God’s gift of daily bread as “worthless bread.”
  2. Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. If anyone who had been bitten looked upon the pole, they would live.
201
Q

Numbers: The bronze serpent that Moses made and put on a pole was a shadow of what event to come?

A

The lifting up of the Son of Man (Jesus) on the Cross. We have all been “bitten” by Satan, that serpent of old. We can only be saved from certain death (spiritual death) by coming to the foot of the Cross and gazing upon our Savior, Who died for us (John 3:14-15).

222
Q

224
Q

The main events of the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Joshua in the OT are a shadow of what things to come in the NT?

A

Just as the Israelites were in captivity (in Egypt), we too were captives to sin. Just as God freed the Israelites via the blood of the Passover Lamb and the Red Sea, we too are freed from the consequences of sin via the blood of Jesus (the Lamb of God) and baptism. Just as the Israelites wandered for a lifetime in the wilderness, we too wander a wilderness. Just as Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land, even so Jesus (Greek form of the Hebrew name “Joshua”) leads us into the Promised Land. Just as lack of faith and disobedience caused many not to enter the promised land, we too can fall short of our inheritance.
