them.
When the days of their feasting were over, Job sent regularly for his sons and sanctified them, rose up

holds fast his integrity, although thou moved me against him to destroy him without cause.” [Job 2:3]

STD 7 3
5. What did Satan argue and reply to the Lord, when the Lord said that Job was standing fast in his

bone and his flesh and he will curse thee to thy face.” [Job 2:4,5]

VIII ANSWER IN DETAIL :

1. Describe the first conversation between the Lord and Satan concerning Job?
At the time, when Satan came and stood among the sons of God, the Lord said to Satan, “Hast
thou considered my servant Job? There is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God, and escheweth evil?”
Satan then answered the Lord, “Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made a hedge
about him, his house, and all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands and his
substance is increased in the land.”
“But put forth thine hand now and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.”
Then the Lord said unto Satan,” Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself
put not forth thine hand.”[ Job 1 : 6 – 12 ]

2. Describe the evil that came one after another upon Job?
One day, a messenger of Job came and said, “The Oxen were plowing and the Asses feeding
beside them. The Sabeans fell upon them and took them away. They have slain the servants with the edge
of the sword. I only am escaped alone to tell thee.”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another and said, “The fire of God is fallen from
heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and consumed the servants and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.”
While he was speaking, there came another and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands and fell
upon the camels and carried them away and have slain the servants with the edge of the sword. I only am
escaped alone to tell thee.”
While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “Thy sons and daughters were eating
and drinking wine in their eldest brother‟s house, a great wind from the wilderness came and smote the
four corners of the house and it fell upon them and they are dead; and I only am escaped to tell thee.” In
this way many evil came upon Job. [Job 1 : 13-19 ]

3. Describe the second conversation between the Lord and Satan concerning Job.
Satan came and stood before the Lord, after destroying all the substance of Job.
Then the Lord said unto Satan, “From whence comest thou?” Satan answered, “From going to and fro
in the earth and from walking up and down in it.”
Then the Lord said, “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the
earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? And still he holds fast his
integrity, although thou moved me against him to destroy him without cause.”
Then Satan answered the Lord and said,” Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give for his
life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh and he will curse thee to thy face.” And
the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in thine hand but save his life.” [Job 2 : 3-6 ]

IX MORAL : (21/2 -Marks)

Job was a man who had received testimony of the Lord. But he was tried by Satan and
lost all that he had and even his children. He was smitten with sore boils from the sole of
his foot to his crown. Yet he did not sin with his lips. When we face fiery trials we should
be patient and trust God and praise Him like Job.

daughters who were dead. In all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job.
After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons‟ sons, even four
generations. Job died, being old and full of days. [ Job 42 : 11, 12, 13 ]

VIII. ANSWER IN DETAIL :

1. What was Elijah‟s challenge to the prophets of Baal to prove which God was the true God?
Explain.
Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal‟s prophets
are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one
bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress
the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under. And call ye on the name of your Gods
and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God”.
( I Kgs 18 : 22 - 24 )

2. What did the prophets of Baal do when Elijah laid the condition: “the God that answereth by
fire, let him be God.”
The prophets of Baal took the bullock, which was given them and dressed it and called on the
name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal hear us.” But there was no voice, nor any that
answered. And they leaped upon the altar, which was made. At noon Elijah mocked them and said
“Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or
peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked”. When they heard that they cried aloud and they cut
themselves after their manner with knives and lancets till the blood gushed out upon them. They
prophesied until the time of the evening sacarifies. But there was no answer. ( I Kgs 18 : 26
- 29 )

whom the word of the Lord came, saying Israel shall be thy name. And with the stones he built an
altar in the name of the Lord.
He made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. He then
put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood.
Then he asked them to pour four barrels of water, three times on the burnt sacrifice and on the
wood. And the water ran round about the altar and he filled the trench also with water. ( I Kgs 18 : 30

4. Having made ready the burnt sacrifice on Mount Carmel, how did Elijah pray for the fire of
the Lord to fall upon it?
At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah prayed saying, “Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy
servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that

and said, “The Lord, He is the God, The Lord, He is the God.” Then Elijah slew all the prophets of
Baal at the brook Kishon.
He then went up to the top of Carmel and cast himself down upon the earth and fell on his
face and prayed. Then the Lord sent a great rain upon the land. ( I Kgs 18 : 2, 19, 20, 30, 37,

Set two men, sons of Belial before him, to bear witness against him saying, Thou didst blaspheme
God and the King. Then carry him out, and stone him that he may die”. The men of the city, even the
elders and the nobles in the city, did as Jezebel sent letters unto them.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. There came two men,
children of Belial and witnessed against him in the presence of the people saying, Naboth did
blaspheme God and the King. Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him with stones that
he died. Then they sent word to Jezebel that, “Naboth is stoned and is dead.” ( I Kgs 21 : 8 - 14)

2. What was the Judgement of God said by Elijah upon Ahab and Jezebel?
The word of the Lord came to Elijah and he said to Ahab, “Behold, I will bring evil upon
thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall,
and him that is shut up and left in Israel. And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast
provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.”
The Lord said about Jezebel, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. Him that
dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air
eat.” ( I Kgs 21 : 21-24)

bound two talents of silver in two bags and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his
servants; and they bare them before him. When he came to the tower, he took them from their hand,
and bestowed them in the house. Then he went and stood before his master. Elisha asked him,
“whence comest thou, Gehazi?” And he said, “Thy servant went no whither”. And Elisha said, “Went
not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to
receive money, and to receive garments, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and
menservants, and maid servants? The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto
thy seed for ever.” (II kgs 5 : 20 – 27 )

word of Elilsha.
Elisha said unto them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city : follow me, and I will
bring you to the man whom ye seek.” But he led them to Samaria.
When they were come into Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they
may see.” The Lord opened their eyes, and they saw and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

1. What did Isaiah the prophet of God say to the King who was sick? What was his prayer to the
Lord? What did the Lord who heard Hezekiah’s prayer, say through the prophet Isaiah to

Prophet Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou
shalt die, and not live”.
King Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, “O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee
in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight”. [ II Kings 20 : 3 ]
The Lord said through the prophet Isaiah, “tell I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy
tears. I will heal thee. On the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. I will add unto
thy days fifteen years; I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I

to go down ten degrees. Let the shadow return backward ten degrees.” Isaiah the prophet cried unto
the Lord and the shadow returned backward ten degrees. [ II Kings 20 : 8 – 11 ]

VIII. ANSWER IN DETAIL :-

1. Describe the sickness and the healing of King Hezekiah.

King Hezekiah was sick unto death. Then prophet Isaiah came to him and said, “thus saith
the Lord, set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live.” Hezekiah then turned his face to
the wall and prayed to the Lord saying, “I beseech thee O Lord remember now how I have walked
before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.” And
Hezekiah wept sore.
The word of the Lord came to Isaiah immediately saying, “Tell, I have heard thy prayer, I
have seen thy tears. I will heal thee and on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.
I will add unto thy days fifteen years. I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the King of
Assyria. I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.”
When Hezekiah heard the words of the Lord, he asked Isaiah that the shadow should go
backwards by ten degrees, as a sign, that the Lord would heal him and he would go to the house of
the Lord. When Isaiah cried unto the Lord, he brought the shadow ten degrees backward by which
it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. According to the word of the Lord, King Hezekiah received
healing completely. [ II Kings 20 : 1-11]

IX. MORAL :- (21/2-Marks)

Like Hezekiah, the children of God should seek only God for their healing

had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth. And he heard a voice, “Rise,
Peter ; kill and eat”. But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or
unclean”. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, “What God hath cleansed, that call not
thou common”. God, through the vision made Peter to understand the truth that, „what God has
cleansed not to call it common‟. Thus God prepared the heart of Peter even before the men sent by
Cornelius met him. Therefore Peter accepted the men sent by Cornelius, when they came in search of
him, and went along with them to the city of Caesarea, as the Holy Spirit led him. ( Acts 10 : 11-23).

Peter was preaching the words of God, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Then
Peter commanded them to be baptized. ( Acts 10 : 44,48 ) Thus God worked for the salvation of the
