Dreamers: Jonah Sermon by Pastor Sarah Rohde Bethlehem Lutheran Church, St Dreamers: Jonah Sermon by Pastor Sarah Rohde Bethlehem Lutheran Church, St. Charles January 28, 2021 Many of us, I’m sure, grew up hearing the story of Jonah. We know it to be a theatrical story, and one that points us to God’s persistence in spite of human resistance. Those are absolutely two themes that come out of this story, but as I was reading it again this week, I was drawn to some of the other details and nuances that I think are worth exploring today. The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time – is how our passage for today begins. So this is after Jonah has spent three days and three nights in the belly of a fish – and he’s just now seeing blue sky again, as the fish has just vomited him out on land. As he’s sort of coming to his senses again, the word of the Lord comes to him and commands him to do the very thing he was asked by God to do before he got swallowed up by a fish: “Get up, go to Ninevah, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” Go to Ninevah, that great city. Really? Great? All that I read about Ninevah, and frankly the reason that Jonah wanted nothing to do with it, is that they’re the enemies. Israel loathed Ninevah, and for good reason. You see, Ninevah was the capital of Assyria, and the Assyrians were the people who had destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel. And when they destroyed it, they forced the Israelites to leave their homes, they stole their wealth, they pillaged their culture, all these things that you better believe affected how the Israelites spoke of Ninevah for generations. Ninevah was one of the most detested places on earth, so Jonah of course hated the idea of going there. He wanted nothing to do with them, and he despised the idea that God might want something to do with them. That is a really hard thought, isn’t it? That God wants to work in the lives and hearts of the people we consider enemies. If I’m really honest, that’s a part of God’s boundless love that’s downright hard for me to accept sometimes, and yet I know it’s true. And I know it’s the same truth that makes my humanness and my imperfection redeemable. For this reason, I keep close the quote from Anne Lamott that says, “You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all of the same people that you do.” Now, to be clear, the message that God wants Jonah to deliver to the people of Nineveh is not one of permission or, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer would call it “cheap grace.” God is not wanting Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them that their actions of injustice and violence are in any way acceptable. God wants Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach a word of repentance. Repentance, which means to take responsibility for what we’ve done wrong, and then to allow God’s grace to turn us in a new direction. Repentance literally means to turn, to turn away from sin, and to turn toward new life. That was God’s hope for the Ninevite people because it’s God’s hope for all people. So Jonah, still reluctant, sets out for Nineveh. The story tells us it took him three days to walk there, which is a lot of time for him to talk himself out of it and turn around. But Jonah knew by this time that God was not going to let up on this call, and turning around and running away was only going to delay getting there and getting it over with. So Jonah eventually arrives at Nineveh, and he gives the shortest sermon imaginable, probably with the hope that no one will hear it, and he can trot on back home and move on with his life. His sermon is 8 words, at least when it’s translated into English. All he says is, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” He doesn’t introduce himself. He offers no explanation about what he exactly means. There’s no word of hope. And yet the crazy thing is that people listened to him. His enemies listened to him, and experienced the power of God in his words, and it caused king and servant and even cattle to repent and to change the way they were living. Here we see outsiders – foreigners, enemies, people who had never heard of God before, people who had done some really bad stuff – recognizing God’s voice and responding. Their response is repentance, for they allow this voice from God to help them confront their evil ways, and then they turn – they turn away from the life they were leading, and by the grace of God, they begin walking in a new direction. Change is possible, my friends. It is possible for us. It is possible for our enemies. And one change that this story beckons us to consider is our very relationship with the people we call our enemies. Are we open to transformation there? Are we willing to allow our enemies to be changed, or our assumptions about our enemies to be changed? Or do we so identify ourselves with who we are against that we can no longer see human beings, only enemies? I put those questions in front of us because what’s really revelatory in the story of Jonah is how it plays out from here. Jonah watches the Ninevites repent and have their whole lives changed by God. Jonah experiences God’s compassion toward his enemies, and even though God has been gracious with Jonah, too, Jonah can’t take it. He stomps off to sulk – you know why? Of course, you know why – because it doesn’t seem fair! It feels to Jonah like his enemies are getting off easy, like they’re not having to pay the price of their actions. Jonah tells God he would rather die than watch his enemies be given another chance. As one writer (David Fleer) puts it, “When it comes to others, we tend to believe that God’s justice should outweigh God’s mercy. But when it comes to ourselves, we tend to believe that God’s mercy should outweigh God’s justice.” Of course, from our perspective, we can see that Jonah, the supposed “faithful one” has struggled many times to be faithful; rather than turning toward God, he turned away many times over, and here, again, he struggles to accept what God’s love can make happen in people he despises. And it’s the supposed “unfaithful ones,” the Ninevites, who are faithful here, they’re responsive to God, and willing to let God’s love confront them and transform them. It’s easy to say we’re all about the expanse and generosity of God’s love when it works in our favor; but it’s also this truth about God that shreds our judgments and our hidden hope for revenge. We might think we want God’s love to fit into human calculations that make sense to us, and it just doesn’t. And, ultimately, that’s what saves the Ninevites, Jonah, and every single one of us. Now I want to just pause here and acknowledge that this is really messy, slippery stuff. This can quickly sound like “everything goes” and “everyone gets a pass” when God’s love is in charge. But I want to be really clear that, in God’s kingdom, there is judgment. Not in a “you either go to heaven or hell way,” not in a “you’re either inside or out” way – that’s how we often think of judgment, but clearly we see in the story of Jonah that those distinctions don’t work for God. God comes to love and save all of us. But it’s that same love brings judgment. It judges what in ourselves and what in our society is moving the kingdom closer, and what about us is keeping it further away. God’s kingdom is a vision for how the world can be when the love of God reigns. And through Jesus we know that, in God’s kingdom, every child has enough to eat, and outsiders have a place at the table, and the voiceless have a voice, and economies are set up in such a way that every person has enough, and diversities of skin color and language are celebrated as a testament to God’s creativity; if that’s what God’s kingdom looks like, then there is judgment on our individual actions and words, and on us as a society, when we act in such a way that slows God’s kingdom from moving in. And that judgment is not just for the sake of the world, it’s for our sake, too. None of us are well until all of us are well. This is, again, why God’s love calls the Ninevites, first, to repentance. God loves them too much to let them keep on with their evil ways. It’s why God calls, and calls again to Jonah to go and deliver a message to his enemies, not just so they can be changed, but so he can be changed, too. Jonah has to release the story he’s been telling, and, let’s be honest, the story he wants to keep telling, about his enemies.

    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

  • Jonah and Becoming a Prophet for Worker Justice
    1 Trinity United Methodist Church, Sarah Smoot guest preaching from ICWJ, 01-25-2015 Scripture Reading: Jonah 2:10-3:10 (New Revised Standard Version) Responsive Prayer, adapted from Jonah 2: I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered. I cried from the belly of Sheol, and you heard my voice. You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood surrounded me. All your waves passed over me. Then I said, "I am driven from your sight. How will I return to see your holy temple?" The waters closed over me. The deep surrounded me. I was cut off forever. Yet, O Lord my God, You lifted my life from the pit. While my life slipped away I remembered the Lord, and my prayer rose to your holy temple. With cries of thanksgiving i will sacrifice to you. Deliverance belongs to the Lord! Amen Song for Reflection: Wonderful Things, Ryan Corn, played & sung by Tyler Smoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac9mRT9aoLA Disclaimers before preaching: ICWJ = Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice When I use the word “enemy,” I am remembering Jesus’ call that we love our enemies 2 ICWJ is a non-partisan organization. The issues of worker justice are bigger than any one politician or political party. When I mention the government in this sermon, I am not advocating or disparaging any particular party. Sermon: Jonah What did God say to the fish? God spoke to the fish, and the fish spewed Jonah out upon the dry land.

  • Novena to St. Joachim and St. Anne
    Saints Anne & Joachim ach year the Church venerates the memory of Saints Anne & Joachim Eon July 26th. An ancient story dating to the first centuries of the Church’s life recalls how Saints Anne & Joachim, like Abraham and Sarah, were scorned by their neighbors because they had no children. Years of longing did not weaken their trust in God, but grief eventually drove Saint Joachim into the wilderness to fast and pray. Saint Anne, remaining at home, dressed in mourning clothes and wept because she had no child of her own. Seeing her mistress distressed, a servant girl reminded Anne to put her trust in God. Saint Anne washed her face, put on her bridal clothes and went to a garden to plead with God for a child. Angels appeared to Saint Anne in her garden and Saint Joachim in the desert, promis- ing that, despite their old age, they would give birth to a child who would be known throughout the world. The new parents ran to meet one another at Jerusalem’s Golden Gate, and with a kiss rejoiced in the new life which God had promised would be theirs. Saints Anne and Joachim are powerful intercessors for all married couples, expectant mothers and married couples who are having difficulty conceiving, as well as all who have grown old. About the Mosaic The art of mosaic dates back some five thousand years to ancient Babylon. The mosaic of Saints Anne and Joachim, depicted on the cover of this novena, was made of an Italian glass called smalti. Its intentionally uneven surface makes it highly reflective.

For biblical women, a major source of suffering is infertility. Although only described in short portions scattered throughout the stories, infertility plays a significant role in the lives of biblical women. The tales of Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah have prompted major discussion about infertility amongst scholars. Initially, the reason infertility causes suffering for these women seems obvious: their inability to give birth to a child eliminates their chance of experiencing the love motherhood offers. However, their suffering was rooted much more deeply; barrenness during biblical history threatened women’s identity, lineage, and status, which reveals how infertility was perceived during ancient times. Today, these notions have carried forward, marking the lives of, and giving guidance to, modern women struggling with their own infertility. Before exploring Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah’s infertility, it is necessary to define the terms used to describe the ways infertility threatened women’s lives.
