She got pregnant before she got married

Rebecca

Mary

Hannah

Eve

Mary

Mary, a mere teen pledged to be married, receives the news that she will give birth to the Son of God. Although this may have come as exciting news, this could mean a possible death by stoning because others would’ve thought she slept around outside the bonds of marriage. Still, she accepts the angel’s message, even though this would mean she would be a social pariah for the rest of her life.

Sometimes following God’s plan can mean social suicide, but it can lead us down paths greater than social fame ever could.

I hid the Israelite spies in Jericho

Deborah

Abigail

Rehab

Naomi

Rahab - Although Rahab’s age isn’t specified, the text mentions her profession as a prostitute. This would imply someone of younger years, perhaps teens or early-to-mid 20s.

Rahab hides the Israelite spies in Jericho, sparing them from certain death (Joshua 2). She, later, joins the Israelite people and winds up in the line of Jesus. Rahab proves that no matter what one’s past holds, the future can impact the kingdom of God in enormous ways.

Peter

Instead, he works to the best of his ability, even in prison, and resists sexual temptation (Genesis 39).

Moses

Daniel

Daniel -In his teens, the Babylonians took him captive and placed him in a three-year Babylonian education. Still, he stood his ground and refused to eat the food presented to him, which would defile him (Daniel 1:8). Upon risk of death, he refuses, but the Lord rewards him for his faithfulness. He ends up affecting change, and the entire palace diet shifts because of him (Daniel 1:16).

Saul

Stephen

Prophecy

100

These 4 kingdoms were represented by what Beasts and in what order in prophecy?

Rome, Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greece

• The first beast, the lion with eagle wings (Dan. 7:4), is an accurate description of the nation of Babylon. Archaeologists have discovered this lion with eagle wings symbol on the walls of Babylon and on coins excavated from Babylon ruins.
• 
  
• The Medes and Persians were aptly described in the ruthlessness of a bear with three bloody ribs in its mouth (verse 5). In order for the Medes and Persians to dominate the Middle East they conquered three nations Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt. As the prophecy describes, they devoured three ribs.
• 
  
• The swiftness of Alexander the Great conquests is graphically revealed in the symbolism of a winged leopard (verse 6). God pictured this leopard as having four heads. Why? When Al-exander died, his four generals took over his empire. Rather than battle one another for his throne, Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, and Seleucus divided the territory of the Greek Empire among themselves.
• 
  
• The fourth beast is pictured as incredibly fierce and amazingly powerful with huge iron teeth (verse 7). The image of Daniel 2 has 10 toes. The dreadful beast of Daniel 7 has 10 horns (verse 7). Like the 10 toes, the ten horns symbolize the divisions of the Roman Empire. It is at this point in the prophecy that God introduces a completely new element.

The first four seals represents four horsemen. Name the colour of the horses and in their right order.

Red, Yellow, White, Blue, Pale, Black

White, Red, Black, and Pale

Rev. 6 - The first four seals are widely known as the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” In Revelation the horse is an animal associated with war. The four horsemen represent the churches as they go forth to battle their enemies. The colours of the horses (white, red, black, and pale) indicate a change from purity to apostasy.

300

What was the colour of the beast in revelation and how may heads and horns did it have?

Black - 5 heads and 2 horns

White - 7 heads and 10 horns

Scarlet -7 heads and 10 horns

Purple – 3 heads and 8 horns

These heads not only represent the seven hills, they represent kings as well that persecuted God's people. You've got Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. Five that were in the past when John has this vision, all five of those powers occupied the children of Israel and persecuted them.

Those are all in the past. It says five are fallen. It says one is - that was Rome, Pagan Rome ruled by the Caesars. And it says the other is not yet come, and when he is come, he must continue a short space. That's Papal Rome ruled by the church and it says he's also the eighth. Why? You go to Revelation 13, it says he gets a deadly wound but he comes back again. For me, this has been very satisfying. When I matched it with everything else in Bible history and the Old Testament, it fits. These are the powers that persecuted God's people all through time, and all the way to the end actually.

Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
