Biblical events took place in specific places and times. This time as you read through Jonah 1, mark the name of each place. Yes, the ship and the sea are places, but we're looking for places that can be found on a map. Also mark anything that might be considered a synonym for one of the places. Usually I use a double green line to underline the names of map places, but you can choose whatever kind of marking works for you. Just make sure that you write a word like "Place" or "Location" on your key card and mark it in the way you chose.
What three place names did you find?
How is one of those places described?
Find each of those places on a map. Since Jonah took place during the time of the divided kingdom, find a map or maps showing the countries and cities at that time.
In which country was Jonah when he received his call from God?
To which city did God call him to go?
In what country is that city?
In what direction is that city from where Jonah was when he received his call?
About how far was it from there?
To what place did Jonah go instead?
In what direction is it from where Jonah was when he received his call?
About how far was it from there?
So, about how far was the place where Jonah was headed from the place where he should have been headed?
What does that tell you?
