  • 2 Kings Chapter 14
    2 Kings Chapter 14 Verses 14:1 – 15:38: This section quickly surveys the kings and selected events of the northern and southern kingdoms from 796 to 735 B.C. in contrast to the previous 19 chapters (1 Kings 17:1 – 2 Kings 13:25), which narrated 90 years of history (885-796 B.C.). With a concentration on the ministries of Elijah and Elisha during the final 65 years of that period (860-796 B.C.), 62 years are covered in these two chapters. The previous section concluded with a shadow of hope. Officially sanctioned Baal worship had been eradicated in both Israel (10:18-28), and Judah (11:17-18); the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem had been repaired (12:9-15); and the Syrian threat to Israel had been overcome (13:25). However, this section emphasizes that the fundamental problems remained. The false religion established by Jeroboam I continued in Israel even with the change of royal families (14:24-15:9, 18, 24, 28). And the high places were not removed in Judah even though there were only good kings there during those years (14:4; 15:4, 35). 2 Kings 14:1 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah." “Second year”: 796 B.C. “Amaziah”: (See notes on 2 Chron. 25:1-28). In chapter 12 verse 21, we read of Amaziah reigning in Judah in the place of his father Joash, who had died. The Joash of Israel and the Joash of Judah reigned at the same time for a short period of time.

  • Week 1- Jonah Chapter 1 As We Begin to Study the Book of Jonah, It's
    Jonah Week 1- Jonah Chapter 1 As we begin to study the book of Jonah, it’s important that we take the time to properly establish the context of this story. Doing so will help us rightly understand and apply the word of the Lord to our lives. The questions below are given as a guide to help us to think through each passage and lead our weekly discussions. Set aside some time each week to read the Scripture, answer the corresponding questions, and consider the application section. Our prayer is that God will use this study in a mighty way as He works in and through us. Jonah 1:1-3 ESV ​ ​ ​ ​ “Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” - How is Jonah identified in verse 1? What do we know about Jonah from the rest of Scripture (2 Kings 14:25)? - What does the Lord tell Jonah to do? What do we learn about Nineveh in verse 2? What else do we know about Nineveh (Genesis 10:8-11, Jonah 3:3, 4:11)? - How does Jonah respond to the Lord’s call? Where is Tarshish in relation to Nineveh? - Numerous times in verse 3, we see that Jonah went to Tarshish to flee from the presence of the Lord.

  • Jonah 4 “The Pity Party” by Kent Crockett
    www.makinglifecount.net Jonah 4 “The Pity Party” By Kent Crockett www.makinglifecount.net Here’s a snapshot of the book of Jonah. In Jonah 1, he’s the prodigal prophet—running from God In Jonah 2, he’s the praying prophet—crying out to God In Jonah 3, he’s the preaching prophet—speaking for God In Jonah 4, he’s the pouting prophet—complaining to God. After Jonah ran away from God’s call, the Lord gave him a second chance to do his assignment. This time he goes to Nineveh in Assyria, walks up and down the streets preaching God’s judgment, and the entire city repents. The king puts on sackcloth and tells the entire city to fast to stop God’s judgment, and the Lord calls off the calamity. Jonah got a second chance to do God’s will, but he was furious that the Lord would give the Ninevites another chance. He failed to see his own hypocrisy in the situation. When God didn’t destroy Nineveh, Jonah decided to throw a pity party. Jonah 3:10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them and He did not do it. In response to Jonah’s preaching, the entire city of 600,000 people turns to God. The whole city—the king, all the people, and even the animals wore sack cloth and fasted. This touched the heart of God—but it didn’t touch Jonah’s heart.

When I was five or six years old, I decided I wanted to be baptized. The decision was motivated by childlike faith. And a desire to belong. Because even then, I saw a divide: there were baptized believers who took communion together and constituted the church’s membership, and then there were the others. The ones who weren’t baptized, who weren’t full-fledged believers, who weren’t quite insiders yet. As I grew older, so did the divide between me and “the world.” I learned how to avoid all appearances of evil by not dating too young, not reading books with too much magic in them, and not saying words like “gosh” or “gee” because they were a form of taking God’s name in vain. Armed with a smattering of Aristotelian logic and a heavy dose of creationist apologetics, I learned how to debate my beliefs. I learned how to fight for the seemingly concrete concept of truth. I read books about how to keep my femininity from being tainted by feminism, rooted for Ken Ham when he debated Bill Nye, and watched popular Christian films.

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.

  • Jonah 3 “The God of Another Chance” by Kent Crockett
    www.makinglifecount.net Jonah 3 “The God of Another Chance” By Kent Crockett www.makinglifecount.net God called Jonah to preach to the people of Ninevah, which was the capital of the Assyrian Empire. They were extremely cruel and vicious people and so Jonah ran in the opposite direction. He boarded a boat for Tarshish which was in Spain. God intervened and sent a terrible storm to rock the boat. The sailors onboard threw Jonah overboard, where he was swallowed by a whale. He spent 3 days and nights inside the whale, which brought him back to Israel and spit him out of dry land. Jonah 3:1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time. God is the “God of another chance.” The first time God spoke to Jonah he refused to accept the call. Now God gives Jonah another chance to do his mission. Have seen the movie Mission Impossible? It’s really good. Lots of action. Half the time you don’t know what’s going on but that doesn’t matter, it’s just a fun movie. The movie is based on the TV series “Mission Impossible” where the tape recording says, “Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it…” God gave Jonah a “Mission Impossible” assignment. He said, “Your mission Jonah, should you choose not to accept it, means you will be swallowed by a whale that will bring you back to Israel, and we’ll keep doing that until you finally DO accept your assignment!” God tells him in Jonah 3:2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you.” Apparently God didn’t tell him what he was going to say at this time, but He would give him further instructions after he got there.

  • Jonah 1 the Book of Jonah Is Small in Size but Great in Impact
    Small Group Questions A God who speaks ::: Jonah 1 The book of Jonah is small in size but great in impact. Jonah is one of thirteen minor prophets. Titled “Minor” based on size of the book, not of effectiveness of ministry. Jonah was a prophet in Israel who was asked to preach to a pagan nation (2 Kings 14:25). Jonah refused to obey the word of the Lord to preach against Nineveh and instead went the other direction to Tarshish. It is unique to see Jonah take a boat to flee from the Lord because the Israelites are known to be people of the land and not of the sea. Some scholars think that Jonah might have sold his personal possessions to amass enough money to pay the far to sail some 2000 miles from Israel. Study Jonah 1 to see what you can learn about running to God. 1. Neal started the sermon by sharing about his call to move to Vegas and help serve at a growing church. Share about a time you followed the voice of the Lord. 2. Read Jonah 1:1-3. Jonah chooses to go in the opposite direction that God called him to go. Read Acts 9:1-19. Compare Jonah running from God to Ananias obeying God. What history of God’s goodness do you have to move forward and trust Him? 3. We read that God sent a great wind and violent storm on the sea (Jonah 1:4-5). Scripture teaches us that God has dominion over every aspect of His creation.

  • Eddie Izzard's Bible…
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY ARTICLES Sitting Jonah with Job Resailing Intertextuality Jione Havea, Charles Sturt University, New South Wales * Abstract In this article i1 read the sitting of two biblical characters—Jonah and Job— together, two textual events that most sensible historical and literary critics would keep apart. Job and Jonah sit under the same covers, of the one book, so what’s keeping readers from seeing and hearing them together? Might the positions of Jonah and Job have changed if they saw and heard one another? Would they have under-stood one another? I circle around those questions, and imagine myself re- sailing (re-selling?) the crafts of intertextuality. Intertextuality requires the moving of characters and texts around, and this article brings Jonah and Job out of the pages of the bible into the talanoa (story, telling, conversation) of West Papua, by way of Palestine. Keywords Intertextuality; Job; Jonah; Palestine; talanoa; West Papua They sat—Jonah and Job—and they raved. Each of them, in different sitting positions, would have been fuming, screaming, in frustration, and deeply angry. Fishy and disgusted Jonah sat in the open hinterland outside of Nineveh, while traumatized and boil-stricken Job sat on an ash-heap outside his home away from his grieving wife. Unlike the popular images of a well-rounded Buddha sitting in calm meditation, these two biblical characters were not at peace. They sat, but they were not pinned down. They moved as they raved, for raving is a moving act. I cannot be certain if their raving was in despair, but i suspect that there was something relieving and releasing in their raving.
