Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a man named Jonah. Jonah was a prophet of God. Prophets tell God’s people messages from God. God tells prophets what to tell the people. One day, God gave Jonah a message for the wicked people of Nineveh. They would be punished if they did not stop doing bad things. Jonah didn’t want to go to Ninevah with God’s message. He got on a boat that was going far away. story continues on the next page 2 3 Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale Jonah sailed away on the boat, but God sent a big storm. Jonah knew the storm would sink the boat if he didn’t get out of the boat. To stop the storm, the sailors threw Jonah over the side of the boat. Everyone hold your breath and try to swim! But Jonah did not drown in the waves! Jonah prayed to God. God sent a whale to swallow Jonah. Jonah stayed alive in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Everyone hold up three fingers! God took care of Jonah and kept him safe. Jonah promised to go to Ninevah and give the people God’s message. story continues on the next page 4 5 Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale God sent the whale back to shore. The whale spit Jonah out on the beach. Jonah went straight to Nineveh and gave the people God’s message. The people told God that they were sorry for being bad. Even though Jonah disobeyed God, God took care of Jonah and gave him a second chance. In the end, Jonah did what God asked him to do. Did you know that God takes care of you too? Just like God kept Jonah safe in the whale’s belly, God will take care of you too! Everyone shout “God takes care of me!” stop the story 6 7 Lesson 2 Daniel and the Lions’ Den God takes care of us every day. Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a man named Daniel. Daniel was the servant of a king. King Darius liked Daniel so much that he planned to put Daniel in charge of the whole kingdom. Some of the other servants were jealous of Daniel. They had a plan to get Daniel in trouble. They made a law that said you couldn't pray to God. Daniel loved God. He kept right on praying to God three times a day. Everyone get on your knees and bow your heads just like Daniel did. story continues on the next page 8 9 Lesson 2 Daniel and the Lions’ Den The jealous servants told King Darius that Daniel was breaking the law. King Darius was sad because he liked Daniel. But Daniel had to be punished for breaking the king’s law. King Darius ordered Daniel to be thrown into a big den of hungry lions! Everyone roar like a hungry lion! God sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths. They couldn’t hurt Daniel. God took care of Daniel! The next morning, King Darius saw that God kept Daniel safe! He praised God for taking care of Daniel. God will take care of us just like He did Daniel. Everyone shout “God takes care of me!” stop the story 10 11 Lesson 3 Paul and Silas God takes care of us every day. God can help us when we are in trouble. Sometimes in small ways. Sometimes in big ways! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, Paul and Silas were in big trouble. They needed God to take care of them! Paul and Silas loved to tell other people about Jesus. One day, Paul and Silas were arrested for telling about Jesus. Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown in jail. The soldiers put chains on their wrists and feet. They were thrown in a cold dark jail cell. Everyone point to your wrists and ankles where the chains were. story continues on the next page 12 13 Lesson 3 Paul and Silas Paul and Silas knew they weren’t alone. They knew God would take care of them—even in jail. They began to pray and sing songs. The other people in the jail listened to them. Suddenly, God made the ground shake. It shook so much that the doors of the prison opened. God made the chains fall off Paul and Silas’ hands and feet. The next day, Paul and Silas got out of prison. God rescued Paul and Silas from jail. Did you know that God will take care of you too when you’re in trouble? God takes care of you because He loves you that much! Everyone shout “God takes care of me!” stop the story 14 15 Lesson 4 Elijah and the Ravens God takes care of us all the time. Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a prophet named Elijah in an amazing way. Prophets tell God’s people messages from God. God tells prophets what to tell the people. One day, God told Elijah to take a message to wicked King Ahab. He was a very bad king. Elijah told King Ahab that God would keep it from raining for a long time. It wouldn’t rain again until Elijah told it to. story continues on the next page 16 17 Lesson 4 Elijah and the Ravens The king was very angry. The king told Elijah he was going to kill him. So God told Elijah to go hide near the mountains. Even though it got very dry without any rain, God led Elijah to go live near a stream of water that didn’t dry up. Every morning and evening God sent big black birds called ravens. The ravens gave Elijah bread and meat to eat. Everyone flap your arms like bird wings! God took care of Elijah and gave food and water to him. God will give you everything you need and will take care of you! Everyone shout “God takes care of me!” stop the story 18 19 .

  • Resurrection Or Miraculous Cures? the Elijah and Elisha Narrative Against Its Ancient Near Eastern Background
    Bar, “Resurrection or Miraculous Cures?” OTE 24/1 (2011): 9-18 9 Resurrection or Miraculous Cures? The Elijah and Elisha Narrative Against its Ancient Near Eastern Background SHAUL BAR (UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS) ABSTRACT The Elijah and Elisha cycles have similar stories where the prophet brings a dead child back to life. In addition, in the Elisha story, a corpse is thrown into the prophet’s grave; when it comes into con- tact with one of his bones, the man returns to life. Thus the question is do these stories allude to resurrection, or “only” miraculous cures? What was the purpose of the inclusion of these stories and what message did they convey? In this paper we will show that these are legends that were intended to lend greater credence to prophetic activity and to indicate the Lord’s power over death. A INTRODUCTION There is consensus among scholars that Dan 12:2-3, which they assign to the 1 second century B.C.E., refers to the resurrection of the dead. The question be- comes whether biblical texts earlier than this era allude to this doctrine. The phrase “resurrection of the dead” never appears in the Bible. Scholars searching for biblical allusions to resurrection have cited various idioms.2 They list verbs including “arise,”3 “wake up,”4 and “live,”5 all of which can denote a return to life. We also find “take,”6 which refers to being taken to Heaven, the noun “life,”7 and “see.”8 In the present paper however, we shall examine the stories of the Elijah and Elisha cycles which include similar tales in which the prophet brings a dead child back to life: in Elijah’s case, the son of the widow of Zare- phath (1 Kgs 17:17-24); in Elisha’s, the son of the Shunammite matron (2 Kgs 4:31-37).

Lawrence Raful Professor of Law Elijah the Prophet lived in Israel during the ninth and 10th century BCE (Before Common Era). Although his name does not grace the title of any of the biblical books of the major and minor prophets, throughout the ages he has become the central figure in Jewish traditions, a mysterious and beloved “everyman.” Elijah, in various disguises and roles, works for justice and performs miracles to help the poor and downtrodden. He is best known as part of an important ritual in the Passover meal, and he is said to be present at births and weddings. But Elijah’s most prominent role, perhaps the major reason that he has become so popular, is as the precursor, the forerunner, of the coming of the Messiah (see Malachi 3:24). It is for this reason that Jews everywhere greet the end of the Sabbath day and the beginning of a new week with a prayer that, God willing, Elijah the Prophet will appear this week, to herald the coming of the Messianic era.

  • Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really?
    Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? Junia the Apostle. Really? Mike Lambert 2013-07-12 The July 2013 issue of Ministry magazine carries the lead article, ªJunia The Apostle.º Much is made by the author of Junia being a ªfemale apostle.º This claim is based on the apostle Paul's description of Andronicus and Junia as ªmy kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before meº (Romans 16:7 KJV). The conclusion on p. 9 boldly declares, ªPaul recognized her as one of the apostles, a woman who was willing to suffer for the gospel she was busily spreading.º Receiving my July copy, seeing the cover with its title, then reading the article and evidences provided, I could only react with astonishment. One question. On what basis? Junia the apostle? Really? Theologians and historians have debated the text used in support of this claim and come to differing conclusions. To be fair, in her opening paragraph the author states that ªthrough the years, questions have been raised about her identity, occupation, and especially her gender.º Yet, she claims unequivocally in the title and the conclusion that Junia was a female apostle. OrdinationTruth.com Committed to Scripture//Subordinate to Jesus//Called to Unity page 1 Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? In proving her case, three and a half pages are spent looking at the name Junia in the Greek language, in antiquity, in early Christian references, in Greek NT manuscripts, in printed Greek New Testaments, and in modern translations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BOOK OF JONAH BOTTOM LINE INTRODUCTION THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE BIGGEST FISH STORY OF ALL TIME. BUT IT ISN’T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. Almost everyone has heard the story of the huge sea creature that swallowed Jonah, and about Jonah’s pitiful prayer for deliverance while inside its stomach (ch. 1-2). But the real fish story takes place in chapter 3. To understand this, consider an event that would transpire some seven centuries later in northern Israel: “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him” (Mt. 4:18-20). In this passage Jesus taught that the “fish” God is looking to catch are sinful men, and the real “fishermen” are soul winners.

Chapter 7 Israelite Inscriptions from the Time of Jeremiah and Lehi Dana M. Pike The greater the number of sources the better when investi- gating the history and culture of people in antiquity. Narrative and prophetic texts in the Bible and 1 Nephi have great value in helping us understand the milieu in which Jeremiah and Lehi received and fulfilled their prophetic missions, but these records are not our only documentary sources. A number of Israelite inscriptions dating to the period of 640–586 b.c., the general time of Jeremiah and Lehi, provide additional glimpses into this pivotal and primarily tragic period in Israelite history. The number of inscriptions discovered from ancient Israel and its immediate neighbors—Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Phoenicia—pales in comparison to the bountiful harvest of texts from ancient Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt.
