In a period of time God had lost faith in all humanity on earth except for one man and his grateful family. In the bible God said to Noah “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation” (Genesis 7:1). God had faith in Noah to follow his wishes and make it happen, “But I will establish my covenant with you” (Genesis 6:18). The Bible is filled with stories of followers who disobeyed lord, and people who have done wrong in their life and the consequences that follow. In The Story of Jonah, the Lord gave Jonah a command to follow just as he did for many of his followers in the past. The Lord asked Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and preach. Jonah made the decision to disobey the Lords

The Lord gave Jonah a command to follow, but “Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish” (Jonah 1:3). The story goes on to illustrate the consequences for disobeying the Lord. In the story of Daedalus and Icarus, a similar event of disobedience takes place. “Remember said the father, never to fly very low or very high” (Daedalus:17). Daedalus was urging Icarus to be careful when flying because of how dangerous it is. Instead of listing to his father, Icarus flew to high and the sun melted the wax holding his wings together. Not listing to his father’s words, Icarus fell from the sky into the ocean and drowned. Both stories have examples of the consequences of being …show more content…
God taught Noah how to build the ark by giving strict guidelines on the structure of the ark and guidelines on what animals to choose, “This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high” (Genesis 6:15). Noah listens to God and fulfills his wishes exactly how God had preached them. In the story of Jonah the Lord teachers him a lesson for disobeying his order to go preach in a city. Since Jonah disobeyed the Lords wishes, he was taught a lesson. “Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up” (Jonah 1:4). During the storm, the crew threw him off of the ship and he was swallowed by a giant fish. After all of the consequences for his disobedience, the Lord asks him again to go preach. This time Jonah obeys the Lord and travels to Nineveh. In the story of Jesus there are many instances of preaching and teaching. In the temptation of Jesus he follows Gods teachings about only following one God while under pressure from the Devil. “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only” (Matthew 4:10). In the last passage of Daedalus and Icarus, the son does not follow the words his father had told him. Before they were flying Daedalus had told his son not to go to high in the sky because the sun would burn the wax holding his wings together. Icarus he did not listen to his father,
