Questions 47: Where was the first altar built?
Answer:
In Genesis 8:20 we find the first reference to an altar, namely that one on which Noah offered his sacrifice to YHVH for deliverance from the danger of the Flood. Armenian tradition says it was built on Mount Ararat.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 46: Who were the Amorites?
Answer:
They were one of the seven nations of Canaan and were governed by many independent kings (Joshua 5:1; Joshua 9:10). They originally inhabited a mountain district in the south (Numbers 13:29), but later acquired an extensive tract from Moab, east of Jordan (Numbers 21:26, 30). They had many strong cities (Numbers 32:17, 33). They were profane, wicked and idolatrous (Genesis 15:16; Joshua 24:15). They interfered with Israel (Numbers 21:21) at times, again were peaceful, but were finally brought into bondage by Solomon (1 Kings 9:20-21).
Question 45: Who were called “the children of Lot”?
Answer:
The Ammonites were so called (Deuteronomy 2:19). They were a cruel, covetous, proud, reproachful, vindictive, superstitious and idolatrous nation (see Amos 1:13; Zephaniah 2:10; Ezekiel 25:3, 6; Judges 10:6; Jeremiah 27:3). Their chief city was Rabbah (2 Samuel 12:26-27), where they were governed by hereditary kings (2 Samuel 2:20-21). They had various encounters with Israel. With the Philistines they oppressed Israel for eighteen years (Judges 10:6-9). Saul succeeded against them as did David and Joab overcame them (1 Samuel 11:11; 2 Samuel 10:7-14). Solomon intermarried with them and introduced their idols into Israel (1 Kings 11:1-5).
Question 44: What was the fate of Amalek?
Answer:
The Amalekites were a wicked, oppressive, war-like and cruel people. They were powerful and influential and possessed cities in the south of Canaan. (See 1 Samuel 15:18; Judges 10:12; Numbers 24:7.) They were the first to oppose Israel (Exodus 17:8); Saul overcame them (1 Samuel 14:48); David invaded their land (1 Samuel 30:1-2) and what was left of them was completely destroyed during the reign of Hezekiah (1 Chronicles 4:41-43).
Question 43: What is the meaning of “Selah”?
Answer:
The word "Selah," which occurs a number of times in the Psalms, was a musical or liturgical sign, whose meaning is unknown. Some regard it as a pause in the music, to mark a transition in the theme or composition. It seems to have no grammatical connection with the sentence after which it appears and has therefore nothing to do with the meaning of the passage. It was a note to the singers of the psalm or to those who were accompanying the singing with instruments.
Question 42: Was Sarai a relative of Abraham?
Answer:
In Genesis 20:12 Abraham speaks of Sarai as his half-sister, the daughter of the same father, but not the same mother. The common Jewish tradition referred to by Josephus (Antiquities 1, 6, 6) and also by Jerome, is that Sarai was identical with Iscah (see Genesis 11:29), daughter of Haran and sister of Lot, who is called Abraham's "brother."

Question 41: What chapters of the Bible are alike?
The two chapters in the Bible that are alike are 2 Kings 19 and Isaiah 37. Both are regarded as the work of Isaiah, relating a series of events which in one book are placed in their proper historical setting and in the other find their true place among the prophecies.
Thought for Today: Friday January 10
There is nothing in the universe that YHVH Elohiym cannot do. Thus remember, ask Him for wisdom, knowledge, power and strength because every moment of resistance against satan’s temptations, is a victory.
Everybody understands things a little differently. When I come to a conclusion on a matter it's usually after careful study and sometimes the holy Spirit showing me something precisely. It doesn't mean other people will see it and just because other people don't see it doesn't make me wrong. There are certain things that I know for certain are true. There are certain things out there that people teach that I know for certain are not true. In areas that I have not come to a conclusion on I continue to study and learn more. On things that I know the holy Spirit has revealed to me when other people try to convince me of something else all it does is wastes my time especially after I already told them my stance on the issue. If I were to ask for someone's opinion then it would be a different story. And yet I'm always willing to learn more. Sometimes there comes a point when I have told someone my stance and I know that what they're trying to push on me or even my wife is a lie they will lose my friendship. There's scripture to back that as well. I will give one or two warnings before disassociating with someone. And this has happened before in my life where I made it clear to someone that I will not receive what they are telling me. Mostly because I believe it to be a false teaching. I won't hate that person but neither will I associate with them any longer.
