V. Study Questions
- Again, there are custom study questions for each segment of the 14 segments to this course.
- Study questions do not need to be answered by the student. These are only listed to assist students in preparing for the Unit Exams or for students to test their own knowledge and recall.
Below is a sample of the Study Questions for this course:
Segment #1 Study Questions from Fruchtenbaum, FOTM and Lecture
- In Revelation 15:2-4, there is a view of the martyred saints of the second half of the
Tribulation. They are viewed as singing two songs. What songs are these and where in
Scripture are any of them referred to? - Think About It – “Under the second trumpet judgment, one-third of the salt water was affected. Now, the rest of the saltwater will be turned into blood, destroying the remainder of sea life.” Why do you think God sent this judgment upon oceans and sea life? Why do you think He did it in two stages like this?
- Describe what happens in the five bowl judgments.
- Why is the Tribulation called “the time of Jacob’s Trouble”?
- According to Dr. Fruchtenbaum, “A graphic description of Israel in the tribulation is found in Isaiah 3:1-4:1.” Read over this passage and record anything in particular which seems to indicate that this must be referring to the period of the Great Tribulation and not another period of Israel’s punishment and suffering. Explain why.
- Select one or two passages in Joel 2:1-11 that indicate this passage must be referring to the Great Tribulation and not some other period of Jewish history, prophecy, punishment, or suffering and explain why.
- Select one or two passages in Amos 5:18-20 that indicate this passage must be referring to the Great Tribulation and not some other period of Jewish history, prophecy, punishment or suffering and explain why.
- The key passage describing the Great Tribulation as a period of worldwide anti-Semitism is found in Matthew. List the chapter and versed.
- What verse in Zechariah points out that Satan has always had a special antagonism against the Jews?
- What is the central passage in Revelation describing Satan’s relationship to Israel during the Tribulation.?
- In the Holocaust, one-third of the world’s Jewish population died. Under the fierce persecution of the Antichrist, controlled and energized by Satan, two-thirds of the Jewish population will die. What passage of Scripture does Dr. Fruchtenbaum cite to support this statement?
- What key verse in Daniel points out Michael’s relationship to Israel in the Tribulation?
- During the tribulation period, there will be four distinct groups of Jews. List and define each group.
- Which verse in Isaiah 10 indicates that a decree of destruction that has been determined upon the whole earth (thus points to the Great Tribulation)”
- In Isaiah 41:17-20, what do the combined words, “the poor and needy,” refer to?
- There are four clues from the Scripture that provide some information about where the Jewish remnant will hide. Be able to match the Scripture reference with the location clue.
- What verse in Micah pinpoints the exact place the remnant will seek refuge and hide?
- Why is the word Bozrah an important clue? What is Petra shaped like?
- What was the basis upon which the Jewish leadership of Israel rejected the Messiahship of Yeshua?
- What were the two signs of Jonah?
- Read all of Leviticus chapter 26., then respond to these three questions in the space below: (a) What do you learn about God from this chapter? (b) What verse states that the Jews would be scattered all over the world? (c) What does verse 40 have to do with the Second Coming of Messiah?
- What is the condition tied to the promises from the following passage – Jeremiah 3:11-18?
- Summarize what we learn about the Second Coming from Hosea chapter 5.
- The fifth passage dealing with the prerequisite of the Second Coming is found in Matthew 23:37-39. According to Dr. Fruchtenbaum, what did Yeshua mean by the word “house” in verse 38, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate”?
- What is the twofold basis of the Second Coming of Yeshua the Messiah?
Segment #1 Study Questions from Constable, ENOR (Ch. 15-16)
- Does Revelation chapter 15 provide supplementary revelation begun in 12:1 and 14:1? If so,
how? - The bowl “plagues” that follow have many similarities to the plagues that God sent on
Egypt. What do these similarities suggest? - What does the “tabernacle of testimony” refer to?
- What does the frequent use of the Greek adjective “megales” in this chapter indicates?
- From J. Vernon McGee’s Thru the Bible Commentary, The Prophecy (Revelation 14-22):
“This world in which we are living is under the judgment of God. It is hard for even believers
to accept that fact. After almost a century of insipid preaching from America’s pulpits, the
average man believes that God is all sweetness and light and would not discipline or punish
anyone. Well, this Book of Revelation tells a different story!” (p. 71) Do you agree or disagree
with this statement? Why? - Which bowl judgments will fall only on man’s environment?
- Pause for Prayer: Warren W. Wiersbe, in The Bible Exposition Commentary, made the
following comment: “Revelation 16:10–11 suggests that these sores do not disappear; for by
the time of the fifth vial, people are still in pain from the first judgment. It is an awesome
thought to consider almost the entire population of the world suffering from a painful
malady that nothing can cure. Constant pain affects a person’s disposition so that he finds it
difficult to get along with other people. Human relations during that period will certainly be
at their worst” (609-610). Take some time now to consider these things in prayer and record
your thoughts. - This judgment in Rev. 16:3 resulted in the destruction of all sea life, “every living thing in the
sea died,” not just one third of it, as in the second trumpet judgment (8:8-9). This may involve
actual coagulated, rotting blood. Why would this be likely? - What does the “angel of the waters” evidently refer to?
- List some of the weakness of the figurative interpretations of Rev. 16:10-11.
- According to Dr. Constable, will the Bowl Judgments overlap each other? Explain.
- What is the problem that the sixth Bowl Judgment poses for earth-dwellers?
- From the insights Dr. Constable shared in the Alfred Edersheim quote, what do we learn
about the meaning Revelation 16:15b? “(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)” - In Hebrew, what does “Har-Magedon” literally mean?
- Dwight Pentecost in his book, Thy Kingdom Come, believed that the bowl judgments
describe the second advent of Jesus Christ to the earth, and that they occur in the 45-day
period following the end of the Tribulation, not during the Tribulation period itself.
Explain why Dr. Constable does not agree with this view. What view do you take on
this and why? - Did Dr. Robert Thomas view the description of the seventh bowl as extending through
22:5? Explain.
VI. Spiritual Growth: Implications and Applications
- There is a unique Spiritual Growth Implications and Applications feature for each Segment of the 14 Segments.
- These are an important part of our courses because they help students to internalize application points which foster growth in character formation.
- There are a variety of approaches used with vary with each Segment. Sometimes this involves journaling, praying through a passage of Scripture, insights on Jewish outreach and discipleship, a little additional reading (we provide the content at no extra cost), and sometimes some Bible memorization/meditation on short passages. Students taking our courses for credit are required to complete the Spiritual Growth assignments, however students who are auditing our courses do not need to do these assignments.
- When a written assignment is required, such as a journal or prayer, students must complete these, but they are not turned-in for grading or credit. We expect students to complete these assignments, using the honor system.
- For student journal assignments you can use a Word doc on your computer or a handwritten journal or notebook; whichever you prefer is fine (again these will not be collected, turned-in or graded).
- However, when there is a Bible memory passage that is assigned and also required, then the Bible memory passage will be included in the Unit Exam. Bible memory verses for this course are based on the NASB (1995) version of the Bible; per Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s instructions. He uses the ASV in teaching but requested that the NASB be used for the Bible memory passages for this course.
Segment #1 Spiritual Growth: Implications and Applications Assignment*
Songs of worship and praise that are sung with sincere hearts and theologically correct lyrics not
only honor the Lord but also nourish our souls. Such music is a gift from God and also should to be
offered to God. We this in Revelation 15:3-4.
- 3a – “And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
- 3b – Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty;
- 3c – Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the ages.
- 4a – Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
- 4b – For You only are holy;
- 4c – For all the nations shall come and worship before You;
- 4d – For Your righteous acts have been made manifest.”
Your spiritual growth assignment for this segment is comprised of two parts. The first part is
required (if you are taking the course for credit) and the second part is highly recommended but not
required.
Part One: For the first part, find a time and place where you can pray alone, without distraction,
bring your Bible with you. Then open your Bible to Rev. 15:3-4 and read only one phrase at a time
and after reading the phrase, offer a prayer of worship to God using the words of that phrase in
some way in that prayer. Then move on to the next phrase and repeat the process, framing your
prayer upon that phrase of Scripture. This is called, “praying with Scripture” or “praying the Bible.”
If you are unsure of how to do this, here is a sample.
- Scripture 15:3a- “And they sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song
of the Lamb, saying…”- Praying with Scripture (example): God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, just
the fact that you revealed to us that these Tribulation saints “sang the song of Moses,
the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb” means that this song of worship
is important to you, that singing to you is important to you. Help me, O Lord, to
spend more time singing praises to You. Amen.
- Praying with Scripture (example): God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, just
- Scripture 15:3b – Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty;
- Praying with Scripture (example): Father God, when these Tribulation saints said
“Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty,” they really
meant it. They witnessed firsthand some of the cataclysmic judgments You sent
upon the earth. Father God, I praise You now for the “great and marvelous” works
that you have done in the world already, such as (list some) and the “great and
marvelous” works that you have done in my personal life, such as (list some)…
- Praying with Scripture (example): Father God, when these Tribulation saints said
Part Two (recommended, not required):
Listen to and enjoy the two worship songs below by Paul Wilbur.
- Song #1 is titled “The Song of Moses” and the lyrics are based on Rev. 15:3-4.
- Song #2 is titled “Who is Like Thee (Mikamocha), based upon Exodus 15:11.

*Note: The Unit 1 Exam is comprised of 151 Questions. Here are a just a few sample questions from that exam to give you an idea of the format:
Short sample some of the Exam Questions from the Fruchtenbaum Assigned Reading
- In Revelation 15:2-4, there is a view of the martyred saints of the second half of the
tribulation. They are viewed as singing two songs. One is the song of Moses (v. 3a), which
refers to (mark any or all that may apply):- The song of Mary (Miriam) in Luke 1:46-55
- The song in Exodus 15:1-18
- The song of David in 2 Samuel 22
- The song in Deuteronomy 32:1-43
- Think About It: “Under the second trumpet judgment, one-third of the salt water was

of sea life.” Why do you think God sent this judgment upon oceans and sea life? Why do
you think He did it in two stages like this? - The fifth bowl judgment will result in the fifth blackout of the end times. The entire earth, every
nation, will be darkened.- True
- False
- According to Dr. Fruchtenbaum, “A graphic description of Israel in the tribulation is found in
Isaiah 3:1-4:1.” Read over this passage and record anything in particular which seems to
indicate that this must be referring to the period of the Great Tribulation and not another period
of Israel’s punishment and suffering. Explain why. - Select one or two passages in Joel 2:1-11 that indicates this passage must be referring to the
Great Tribulation and not some other period of Jewish punishment or suffering and explain why. - Select one or two passages in Amos 5:18-20that indicates this passage must be referring to the

in Matthew 24:9-28.- True
- False
- In the Holocaust, one-third of the world’s Jewish population died. Under the fierce persecution

- Zephaniah 1:7-13
- Zechariah 13:8-9
- Matthew 24:9-14
- The key verse pointing out Michael’s relationship to Israel in the tribulation is Daniel 12:1.
- True
- False

the four listed?- The apostate Jews
- The 144,000
- The Jewish Leadership
- The Faithful Remnant
- Other Jewish Believers
- Which verse in Isaiah 10:20-23 indicates that a decree of destruction that has been determined
upon the whole earth (thus points to the Great Tribulation)”- 20
- 21
- 22a
- 22b-23
- According to Isaiah 41:17-20, the combined words, “the poor and needy” refers to the non-

- False
- Matching: There are four clues from the Scripture that provide some information about where
the Jewish remnant will hide. Match the Scripture reference with the location clue. - Petra is shaped like:
- A deep circular well
- The Temple compound
- The old Jerusalem at the time of David
- A giant sheepfold
- The Messiahship of Yeshua was rejected by the Jewish leadership, and the Jewish leadership led
the nation to the rejection of His Messiahship on the basis of:- Unfulfilled prophecy
- Lack of evidence for Davidic descent
- Lack of evidence for divine sanction
- None of the above

- What do you learn about God from this chapter?
- What verse states that the Jews would be scattered all over the world?
- What does verse 40 have to do with the Second
Coming of Messiah?
Sample of some Exam Questions from Constable’s Assigned Reading
- Revelation chapter 15 continues supplementary revelation, begun in 12:1, and the emphasis on
preparation for the final judgments of the Great Tribulation, begun in 14:1.- True
- False
- The bowl “plagues” that follow have many similarities to the plagues that God sent on Egypt. All seven of these bowl judgments repeat in varied ways the plagues of Egypt. These similarities suggestthat God’s purpose in both series of judgments is the same:
- To establish an analogous correspondence between the stubborn and hard heart of Pharaoh and his followers with that of the Antichrist and his followers.
- To punish godless idolaters and to liberate the godly for future blessing and service.
- The “tabernacle of testimony” refers to:
- The temple as the building that housed God’s law
- The temple as the Person of Messiah while He was physically present
- McGee’s Thru the Bible Commentary: The Prophecy (Revelation 14-22): “This world in which we are living is under the judgment of God. It is hard for even believers to accept that fact. After almost a century of insipid preaching from America’s pulpits, the average man believes that God is all sweetness and light and would not discipline or punish anyone. Well, this Book of Revelation tells a different story!” (p. 71) Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
- The firstfour trumpet judgments willfall on man himself, but the first bowl judgment will fall
only on man’s environment.- True
- False
- Pause for Prayer: Warren W. Wiersbe, in The Bible Exposition Commentary, made the following comment: “Revelation 16:10–11 suggests that these sores do not disappear; for by the time of the fifth vial, people are still in pain from the first judgment. It is an awesome thought to consider almost the entire population of the world suffering from a painful malady that nothing can cure. Constant pain affects a person’s disposition so that he finds it difficult to get along with other people. Human relations during that period will certainly be at their worst” (609-610). Take some time now to consider these things in prayer and record your thoughts below. (At a loss? Then take some time thanking God that you will not have to ever ensure such suffering during the Tribulation.)
- This judgment in Rev. 16:3 resulted in the destruction of all sea life, “every living thing in the sea died,” not just one third of it, asin the second trumpet judgment (8:8-9). This may involve actual coagulated, rotting blood. Why would this be likely?
- Because of the wording in Scripture: “and it became blood as of a dead man”
- Because of the phrase in the Talmud that speaks of “rotting blood” in relation to judgment
- The “angel of the waters” evidently refers to:
- A metaphor for the blessing of the waters
- A fallen angel (demon) that will be used to poison the water
- The angel responsible for the sea (oceans) and fresh water
- In the Greek, “angel” is plural, so angels, likely multitudes, will cause massive flooding
- The weakness of the figurative interpretations of Rev. 16:10-11 is that:
- Thefifth trumpet judgment involved literal darkness (9:2)
- The ninth Egyptian plague involved literal darkness (Exod. 10:21-22)
- God darkened Jerusalem when Messiah Yeshia died on the cross (Matt.27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44)
- All the Above
- According to Dr. Constable, each of the Bowl Judgments end before the next one begins; in
other words the Bowl Judgments will not overlap each other.- True
- False
- The problem that the sixth Bowl Judgment poses for earth-dwellers is not some immediate
affliction from the judgment itself, but its later consequences, namely: ____. This sixth bowl does
not inflict a plague on people, but serves instead as a preparation for the final eschatological
_____.- Political, government
- Scarcity, famine
- War, Battle
- Hell, Judgment
- Short Answer: From the insights Dr. Constable shared in the Alfred Edersheim quote, what
do we learn about the meaning Revelation 16:15b? “(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he
that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)” - Short Answer: Dwight Pentecost in his book, Thy Kingdom Come, believed that the bowl
judgments describe the second advent of Jesus Christ to the earth, and that they occur in the
45-day period following the end of the Tribulation, not during the Tribulation period itself.
Explain why Dr. Constable does not agree with this view. What view do you take on this
and why? - Dr. Robert Thomas viewed the description of the seventh bowl as extending through 22:5. He saw all that follows, up to 22:5, as being part of this final, climactic, seventh bowl judgment. More students of Revelation, however, have seen the description of the seventh bowl as limited to 16:17-21, with the consequences of that judgment following through 22:5.
- True
- False
