Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some statements about the prophets considered 'hard' difficulty?+

Hard-difficulty statements often involve specific details (like the Kebar River vs. Euphrates), distinguish between common assumptions and Scripture's actual wording (whale vs. fish), or require knowledge of historical context and dating. They challenge players who go beyond basic familiarity to deeper biblical literacy.

How should I interpret 'virgin' in Isaiah 7:14 when the quiz says it's true?+

The NIV (our default translation) renders the Hebrew word 'almah' as 'virgin,' which is the Christian interpretive tradition. Jewish scholarship typically translates it as 'young woman.' The statement is marked TRUE because the NIV does contain this rendering; the ambiguity is flagged to acknowledge the theological debate.

Are all these prophets from the same time period?+

No. The Old Testament prophets span roughly 800 years, from Elijah (9th century BCE) through the exile prophets like Ezekiel and Daniel (6th century BCE). This quiz covers a wide range of prophetic eras, which is why historical context is important for understanding their unique ministries and messages.
