BIBLE TRIVIA

In what Greek city did Silas and timothy stay while Paul went on to Athens?

Answer     Berea     Acts 17:10-14     And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea, who arriving there, went into the synagogue of the Jews.¹¹ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with al readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to see whether those things were so.¹² Therefore many of them believed, also honorable women who were Greeks, and of men not a few.¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica became aware that the Word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the people.¹⁴ And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go down to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there still.

SCRIPTURE

For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.                  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJ21
