Week 6 — Abraham and Isaac

1. How does Genesis 18 contrast with Genesis 19 regarding God’s character and
activities?

The former depicting Abraham’s tender, sensitive fellowship with his guests; the latter,
God’s awesome judgment and violent destruction of wicked Sodom. Perhaps this contrast can
give us new glimpses into God’s character and activities. On one hand He fellowships with us as
He did with Abraham, but on the other our infinitely holy God is moved by, and concerned
about, the wickedness of this world. (Paradise to Prison, p. 195).

2. Describe the typical hospitality displayed in Genesis 18 during this time.

Abraham’s concern that his visitors not pass him by is typical of oriental hospitality.
(Paradise to Prison, p. 197).

3. Describe the kind of laughter of Sarah.

Her laugh was clearly derisive, suggesting that Abraham either had not told her of the
promise (17:6, 19) or failed to convince her that it could be kept. (Paradise to Prison, p. 197-
198).

4. How does the Lord evaluate Abraham?

As faithful, obedient, and consistent. (Paradise to Prison, p. 198)

5. When is intercessory prayer effective?

Intercessory prayer is only effective when one realizes how awesome the judgment of God is.
(Paradise to Prison, p. 199).

6. What was the reason for God’s judgment of Sodom and Gommorrah?

Because “the cry of them has become great before the face of the Lord”. (Paradise to Prison,
p. 202).

7. How did God destroy Sodom? (Give options.)

The Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as other towns in the plain, with
“brimstone and fire”. (Paradise to Prison, p. 203).

8. How is this story of Lot often depicted in the New Testament?

The story of Lot and his family should provide a sobering reminder that all of our decisions
are significant, even that of where we will live. Our moral environment significantly influences
our lives. For this and many other reasons the New Testament constantly implores the believer to
fellowship with those of like precious faith. (Paradise to Prison, p. 207).

9. Discuss the strategic location of Gerar.

The identification of Gerar with Tell Abu Hureira was once rejected by many scholars, but
recent archaeological surveys seem to support it. The territory of Gerar was strategically located
between settled land to the east and grazing land to the west, so it is understandable that the
Philistines gained control of it rather early (Paradise to Prison, p. 211).

10. T/F—Abimelech is the real name of the king of Gerar. Explain your answer.

False – The real name, or birth name, of the king is not mentioned, only the title he assumed as
king.
Abimelech was a dynastic title: the king of Gerar in Isaac’s time is called Abimelech (26:8),
as is King Achish of Gath in David’s day (1 Sam. 21:10; cf. the title of Ps. 34). (Paradise to
Prison, p. 211).
