Jonah Sent to Nineveh, Flees to Tarshish

(Jonah 1:1-3)

1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

The Great Storm

(Jonah 1:4-10)

But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What mean you, O sleeper? arise, call on your God, if so be that God will think on us, that we perish not.

7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray you, for whose cause this evil is on us; What is your occupation? and from where come you? what is your country? and of what people are you? 9 And he said to them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which has made the sea and the dry land.

O odredištu

Kad god se spomene odredište, vi se prema njemu odnosite sa posebnom ozbiljnošću; ono je, štaviše, nešto na šta ste svi posebno osetljivi. Neki ljudi jedva čekaju da spuste glavu do zemlje klanjajući se pred Bogom, kako bi došli do dobrog odredišta. Mogu d...
