Jeroboam II was northern Israel’s most powerful king‚ and during his administration the borders of the nation were expanded to their greatest extent since the time of David and Solomon. Assyria‚ however‚ five hundred miles to the east‚ was a constant threat. The fact

    the people of Nineveh‚ Jonah flees to Tarshish. At this point Jonah seems a little bit cowardly from running away from a task given to him by God. Jonah may also be seen as unconfident for not facing the people of Nineveh. Jonah seems selfish when he is on the boat as he knew that running away would put not only himself‚ but also the other men on the boat in danger. However‚ he also seems selfless when he tells the men to throw him overboard to save themselves. We see that Jonah is God fearing and has

    Where the book of Jonah takes a turn to the “not so believable” is when Jonah is swallowed up by a large fish or whale and survives for three days inside the whale. He prays‚ repents and calls out to God for forgiveness.  Due to scientific advancements‚ we know it’s not physically possible for a man to sustain life inside of another mammal after being digested. Scientifically the person would begin to be decomposed and turned into energy just as any other “food” would be converted. I think this is

    Although Jonah initially disobeys an action God commanded of him‚ his understanding of who God is and what God is like toward people drastically changes as he gains more of an understanding of God at the end of chapter four. To begin‚ we must first analyze Jonah’s expectations and view of God at the start of the Book of Jonah. In Jonah 1:1-2 God commands Jonah to “go at once to Nineveh‚ that great city‚ and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.” The word of God is being

    Jonah and the Whale

    • 999 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Jonah sat in the whale’s belly for three days and nights. He spends that time in prayer‚ thanking God for saving him. He realizes the miracle that God has affected to save him and is truly grateful. I’m not certain how grateful I’d be sitting in a whale’s belly come day two or three. I would certainly have been glad at first‚ but possibly would have started complaining pretty quickly. This is often the case for people: we beg for relief from our circumstances and when it comes‚ we aren’t satisfied

    In this essay‚ I will argue that the book of Jonah illustrates the process God takes to refine the characters of His servants‚ and how He chooses to work through sinful people to bring about redemption. This process is first exemplified by God’s orchestration of events to redeem Jonah from his disobedience. Secondly‚ the narrative demonstrates Jonah’s prideful nature‚ in contrast with the humble nature seen in the Ninevites’ repentance‚ which kept him from experiencing true‚ lasting repentance. Lastly

    happen. During the entire first chapter of Jonah the author is always raising the tension because every terrible event seems to arise by the minute. While it did begin with the Lord hurling a great wind to sea then downgraded to the mariners and sailors tragic events despite the characters in the story. The men ended up fearing Jonah because Jonah was fleeing from God. We have moved from a significant amount of tension to tension. The tension especially when Jonah got overthrown overboard and swallowed
