90
Q

A

Haggai’s message is clear: encourage the builders of God’s new temple, especially the leaders Zerubbabel and Joshua.

91
Q

What did older men and women realize when they saw the new temple according to Haggai? What did this cause them to do?

A

Many of the older men and women of Judah had seen Solomon’s Temple (“baptized in gold”) and realized that this new temple seemed very insignificant in comparison to the previous temple. They wept at the laying of its foundation (Ezra 3:12-13)

92
Q

What did God do through the prophet, Haggai?

A

Through the prophet Haggai, God encouraged the people that their work on this second temple was “a type” of a “greater temple” to come – Christianity.

93
Q

What was Zechariah thought to be in comparison to Haggai?

A

Haggai was the old prophet – perhaps 90 years old – and Zechariah was thought to be the young prophet – Haggai’s “understudy.”

94
Q

What is Zechariah’s message about?

A

As expected, Zechariah’s message (like Haggai’s) is about God’s protection and restoration of His people

95
Q

What day does the prophet, Zechariah, talk about?

The prophet Zechariah tells of a day when God will bring the office of king and priest together as one in a future individual who will build the temple of the Lord – Jesus. (Zechariah 3:8-10; 6:11-15)

96
Q

What does Malachi do like Haggai and Zechariah?

A

Like Haggai and Zechariah, Malachi preaches that the promises of God remain unfulfilled despite the Jews returning to their land

97
Q

What does Malachi speak out against?

A

He speaks out against contemptible sacrifices, divorce, and the lack of tithes and offerings.

98
Q

What does Malachi predict?

A

Malachi also predicts a “forerunner” who will come before the Lord’s visitation. (Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6)

99
Q

Who is the forerunner that Malachi predicts?

A

This forerunner is none other than John the Baptist who calls the children of Israel to repent in preparation for the coming Messiah. (Matthew 17:11-13)

100
Q

What have the gospels been referred to as since 1780?

A

Synoptic Gospels

101
Q

Why are the gospels referred to as “synoptic”? What does “synoptic” mean?

A

because they include many of the same stories, often in the same sequence, and similar wording. The term “synoptic” comes from the Greek “syn” meaning “together”, and “optic” meaning “seen.”

102
Q

Which gospel do most commentators believe was written first?

A

Most commentators believe that Mark was written first, and then Matthew and Luke used Mark as their major source.

103
Q

Who is the author of the Gospel of Mark? Who is his father in faith?

A

The author is John Mark, the son in the faith to the Apostle Peter.

104
Q

When was the gospel of Mark most likely written?

A

It is most likely written in 40’s or 50’s AD.

105
Q

Where is the only reference to the author Mark?

A

The only reference to the author is in Mark 14:51-52

106
Q

What can we read for an in-depth study of John Mark’s life?

A

For an in-depth study of John Mark’s life, read the City of Angels International Church Bulletin on February 19, 2012, entitled, Our Brother – John Mark.

107
Q

Who is the author of the Gospel of Matthew? What is his occupation?

A

The author of this gospel is the Apostle Matthew (also known as Levi), the tax collector.

108
Q

Who was Matthew’s target audience? How do we know this?

A

His target audience was the Jewish people. This is evidenced in the opening “genealogy of Jesus” as well as the generous number of Old Testament references.

109
Q

How many references are there to the Old Testament in Matthew?

A

There are 43 separate references to the Old Testament, far more than in Mark or Luke

110
Q

When was the gospel of Matthew most likely written?

A

Though there is a very wide range of dates suggested for this gospel, most likely this gospel was written in the 50’s or 60’s AD.

111
Q

Who is the author of the Gospel of Luke? Who is his target audience?

A

Luke, the companion of the Apostle Paul, is the author of this gospel whose target audience was the Gentiles

112
Q

When was the gospel of Luke most likely written?

A

The dating of this book is most likely 57-59 AD during Paul’s imprisonment in Caesarea.

113
Q

How does Luke write the gospel? Who is the gospel addressed to?

A

Luke “carefully investigated everything” and uses “eyewitness accounts.” The book is addressed to Theophilus.

114
Q

Where is the literary device “Theophilus” also used?

A

This literary device is also used in the Book of Acts – “Luke 2.”

115
Q

What does “Theophilus” mean?

A

Theophilus literally means “friend of God,” and since there are no formal greetings at the end of either book, this assertion is highly likely.
