The Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot . . . Whoa! Just being silly. After writing that blog title, that first line from Dr. Seuss' famous Grinch story simply slid out. Sorry about that.
On a more serious note, we've reached the third chapter of Jonah, and if we continue to observe it in a way consistent with how we've studied the first two chapters, we'll begin by reading it and looking for who is mentioned.
Read the chapter. Who is mentioned?
In the same way as you did for the first two chapters, mark the Lord and Jonah.
Add what you learn about the Lord to your list.
Add what you learn about Jonah to your list.
What comes to Jonah a second time? What does that show you about God?
Whose proclamation will be proclaimed to Nineveh?
Who will proclaim it?
Who went to Nineveh? Why did he go there?
Who told Nineveh that their city would be overthrown in forty days?
After hearing that message in whom did the Ninevites believe?
Whom were the Ninevites encouraged to call upon?
Why were they encouraged to do that?
What did they hope God would do?
Who saw that they turned from their wicked ways?
Who didn't bring upon them the calamity that Jonah had proclaimed?
Something to think about: Read Matthew 12:38-41. Ponder what Jesus said in relation to chapter three of Jonah. What is Jesus trying to tell the scribes and Pharisees of His day? Does what Jesus told them apply to us and our time?
There are other whos in this chapter whom we'll look at more closely in the next blog.
