His definition of throughput catches Rogo off guard as it is different from the version he learned. Operations and Supply Chain Management‚ defines throughput as the “output rate that the process is expected to produce over a period of time”. Jonah explains the reason for this difference is that if the plant is manufacturing

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

Great Truths from the Book of Jonah By Wayne Jackson The prophet Jonah lived in the Galilean city of Gath-hepher (about four miles north of Nazareth) in the reign of Jeroboam II (793-753 B.C.)‚ king of Israel (cf. 2 Kings 14:25). 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.

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
Premium Bible Qur'an
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.
