J. Jonah Jameson

Overview: God calls Jonah to preach to Nineveh, but Jonah refuses and runs away on a boat that he is later thrown over into the sea. Jonah was swallowed by a large fish and prayed for forgiveness, so God made the fish spit him out onto land. God once again sent Jonah to Nineveh where the people except the message and repent. Jonah is furious that they were saved and his prophecy of their distraction does not come true. Behind the Text: When Nineveh is mentioned in the book of Zephaniah, that…

The Book of Jonah is not a biography of himself. If the book were about Jonah, it would have more of a biography of his life. The book focuses more on the repentance of the city of Nineveh, because they truly did repent. Also, it is about God’s love for all people, no matter what you are, or who you are. The author of Jonah is unknown. Although some believe that it was Jonah himself who wrote it. Jonah lived in the Galilean city of Gath-hepher which was very close to Nazareth. Jeroboam II…

The book of Jonah tells the story of Jonah’s internal journey. The LORD told Jonah to go to Nin’eveh and cry against it, but Jonah escaped and took a ship to the opposite direction. During the trip, a huge wind occurred and everyone was so afraid. Jonah realized the wind was caused because of him so he decided to sacrifice himself and let others throw him into the sea. Jonah was then swallowed by a fish and stayed in the belly for three days and three nights. During that time, he prayed to the…

“Parker!” Coach Bieman yelled. Corbin Parker was shooting hoops in the school gym, but without much success. Shot after shot, he had the same result: a miss. Clutching the ball tightly, he lined himself up for yet another try. “Parker!” Bieman yelled again. Letting out a short sigh, Corbin jogged over to the sideline. He rested the ball against his side and lowered his gaze to meet Bieman’s stern eyes. “Yeah, Coach?” Bieman was practically fuming. “What was that?” Corbin shifted his weight from…

Authoritarian Power: the leader giving out orders. 4. Laissez-faire Leadership: the leader gives up and everyone splits. 5. Coercive Power: threatening someone to get something done. I recommend this movie because there are hilarious actors such as Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, and Emma Stone. If you’re into comedy movies with crude humor, then you’ll love…

Reading Log – Exillic and Post-Exillic Literature Ezekiel 36-37 – These chapters were written by Ezekiel, a well-educated priest who was taken to Babylon to work as a slave for the royalty due to his superior talents and education. While in slavery, the priest becomes a prophet through spiritual experiences early in the book. The people have lost everything, which according to the Deuteronomic viewpoint was because of their sinful unfaithfulness to Yahweh. What is the message of chapters 36…

Carter’s message was that God can use Jonah better broken that he can whole. I even thought this caught my attention I don’t quite understand why God uses pain to correct us or anoint us. T.D Jakes once said that “anointing comes the pressing of God. He compared it to the olive and how in order…
