Revelation 10:
Then I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven wrapped in a cloud, with a halo around his head; his face was like the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire. In his hand he held a small scroll that had been opened. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and then he cried out in a loud voice as a lion roars. When he cried out, the seven thunders raised their voices, too. When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write it down; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken, but do not write it down.”

A sample of ‘BOTTLED LIVING WATER’
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1393/livingqt1.png

Yes, you heard that right. And that ain’t an oxymoron (For nothing is impossible with God) !
Our water is taken from the Springs of Living Water, guaranteed to make you no longer feel thirsty anymore, unlike normal water which only provides temporary relief. (Jn. 4:13-14)

The Sourceof our water: Springs of Living Water

The water will become a Spring gushing Eternal Life when drunk due to its special qualities, just as Jesus is the Living Water (Jn. 4:14, 7:38). The bottle itself is specially made to avoid the water inside being lukewarm so as not to cause the Lord spewing the water out (Rev. 4: 15-16).

Just ask Jesus for more of this Bottled Living water if you ever want it again and he will give you as much as you want! (Jn. 4:10, 7: 37-38) He, after all, said ‘Ask and you shall receive’.

(Take my Life and) Let it Be Album by the Evangelists

I’m slightly stumped. I know of a passage in Ez that has him lying on one side of his body for Israel and on the other for Judah, and he has put up some type of iron wall or griddle between him and a drawing of Jerusalem. But I’m not sure this is what is meant.

Is this close?

Ezekiel 4:1 As for you, son of man, take a clay tablet; lay it in front of you, and draw on it a city (Jerusalem).
2 Raise a siege against it: build a tower, lay out a ramp, pitch camps, and set up batteringrams all around.
3 Then take an iron griddle and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city. Fix your gaze on it: it shall be in the state of siege, and you shall besiege it. This shall be a sign for the house of Israel.

He goes on to lie on one side, and then the other side.

Right Answer!

If you’ll look at the left side of the picture, I’ve also included the command by God to make bread and bake it over human dung (changed to cow dung after Ezekiel refused to bake it in a human’s).

For answering the question correctly, here’s a Galilean boat.

Abraham being visited by the three angels (or possibly the Trinity) and told that he’d have a son, and Sarah laughing.

Correct, but which chapter and verse of Genesis is it from? 🙂
Click to expand...
I’d like to add that in the scene, Abraham is being very hospitable, and they are sitting by an oak tree. There is Heb13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. We should always offer hospitality, for we never know who it could be that we are helping.

Genesis 18:1 Now the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.
2 When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,…

the scene continues until they go and do the Sodom thing.

Right answer. Since there’s two of you who answered this correctly, you’ll both have:

A pack of Mustard Seeds! Just have faith the size of them and you’ll have whole mountains under your command. Just say ‘fall to the sea’ to them and they will follow!

Plant any of these seeds and they will yield tall trees to the point that birds can habitate in its branches!

That’s the Finding in the Temple, Luke 2: 42-51.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. 43 After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
 
For the first time, I’ll post three questions at once.
But note that ONE PERSON CAN ONLY ANSWER ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. Meaning, out of these three, you’ll have to pick one question to answer. You shouldn’t answer all of these to give the others a chance.

Let’s see. It’s Daniel. The weeping woman is Susanna since she was condemned to die by the tribunal under the crime of adultery (actually the accusation was false; the two elders in the picture perpetrated it). So, it’s Daniel 13: 44-64.
44
The Lord heard her prayer.
45
As she was being led to execution, God stirred up the holy spirit of a young boy named Daniel,
46
and he cried aloud: “I will have no part in the death of this woman.”
47
All the people turned and asked him, “What is this you are saying?”
48
He stood in their midst and continued, “Are you such fools, O Israelites! To condemn a woman of Israel without examination and without clear evidence?
49
Return to court, for they have testified falsely against her.”
50
Then all the people returned in haste. To Daniel the elders said, “Come, sit with us and inform us, since God has given you the prestige of old age.”
51
But he replied, “Separate these two far from one another that I may examine them.”
52
After they were separated one from the other, he called one of them and said: "How you have grown evil with age! Now have your past sins come to term:
53
passing unjust sentences, condemning the innocent, and freeing the guilty, although the Lord says, “The innocent and the just you shall not put to death.’
54
Now, then, if you were a witness, tell me under what tree you saw them together.”
55
“Under a mastic tree,” he answered. “Your fine lie has cost you your head,” said Daniel; “for the angel of God shall receive the sentence from him and split you in two.”
56
Putting him to one side, he ordered the other one to be brought. “Offspring of Canaan, not of Judah,” Daniel said to him, “beauty has seduced you, lust has subverted your conscience.
57
This is how you acted with the daughters of Israel, and in their fear they yielded to you; but a daughter of Judah did not tolerate your wickedness.
58
Now, then, tell me under what tree you surprised them together.”
59
“Under an oak,” he said. “Your fine lie has cost you also your head,” said Daniel; “for the angel of God waits with a sword to cut you in two so as to make an end of you both.”
60
The whole assembly cried aloud, blessing God who saves those that hope in him.
61
They rose up against the two elders, for by their own words Daniel had convicted them of perjury. According to the law of Moses, they inflicted on them the penalty they had plotted to impose on their neighbor:
62
they put them to death. Thus was innocent blood spared that day.
63
Hilkiah and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, as did Joakim her husband and all her relatives, because she was found innocent of any shameful deed.
64
And from that day onward Daniel was greatly esteemed by the people.

By the way, if my answer is correct, it’s really a nice idea to include the Deuterocanon in this quiz! 👍
 
Right you are!!! It IS Daniel rescuing Susanna from the Elders!

And from my vast treasure trove you win…

The first picture is from Psalm 22. Several verses of it come to mind:

8 All who see me mock me; they curl their lips and jeer; they shake their heads at me:
9 “You relied on the LORD-- let him deliver you; if he loves you, let him rescue you.”

16 As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue sticks to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death.
17 Many dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me. So wasted are my hands and feet
18 that I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat;
19 they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.

The mention of hands and feet often includes the word “pierced”, and with bones, “numbered”. I gave the NAB translation.
