Jonah Lehrer

Jonah and Nehemiah are two prophets that can teach us Christians a lot of life lessons and also how to deal with things when adversity strikes. The story of Jonah is one of the more well-known stories throughout the Bible, probably because we can learn so much from it in what is such a little book of God’s Word. It starts out with God telling Jonah to go to Nineveh, a great city that was weak in its beliefs. Jonah, instead of trusting in the Lord, fled to Tarshish. To get to Tarshish, he first…

Jonah Submits to the Lord Chapter 3 Jonah Delivers God’s Message (3:1-4) The theme of repentance and deliverance will be carried along further by Jonah’s actions and deliverance. This will be the second calling that YHWH is commanding of Jonah to go to Nineveh to proclaim the message of God. (Vs. 3:1-3) The Lord is relying on Jonah to obey his word and Jonah leaves without delay. (vs.3) Jonah arrives in the city and he begins to preach, he utters very the only words of prophecy in the book,…

The book of Jonah begins with God instructing his prophet, Jonah, to go to Nineveh to warn the people against their wicked ways. Jonah; however, tries to escape the Lord’s presence. However, as he flees to Tarshish by boat, the Lord sends a wind that creates a storm so strong that all the sailors become afraid. They pray to their gods while Jonah is asleep below deck. Then, the sailors wake Jonah and cast lots to see whose fault the storm is. When they find it is on account of Jonah, they…

conclusion, Jonah is summed up in these four headings: Jonah flees from God (conceals His message), Jonah prays (made humble), Jonah travels to the city of Nineveh (message of annihilation), and Jonah’s anger at the Lord’s compassion (“God is more concerned with saving souls"). (Goos) The book of Jonah has no stated author, but the most logical or sensible choice would be “Jonah,” ("Jonah." Intro to. N.p., n.d. Web. 27 Nov. 2014.) despite Jonah being referred to in the third person in the story.…

In these modern times, skeptics consider the account of Jonah the son of Amit'tai as a fable or even a symbolic story. However, Jesus drew a comparison between Himself and Jonah confirming its historical accuracy. Shortly after the Flood, Nineveh was founded by Nimrod a warrior, (Genesis 10:11-12). It was the capital of the Assyrian empire and rose to power around 900 B.C. Nineveh, the oldest and most-populous city of the ancient Assyrian empire, is today's present day city of Mosul, Iraq. It…

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…
