The story of Jonah has great theological import. It concerns a disobedient prophet who rejected his divine commission, was cast overboard in a storm and swallowed by a great fish, rescued in a marvelous manner, and returned to his starting point. Now he obeys and goes to Nineveh, the capital of Israel’s ancient enemy. The Ninevites listen to his message of doom and repent immediately. All, from king to lowliest subject, humble themselves in sackcloth and ashes. Seeing their repentance, God does not carry out the punishment planned for them. At this, Jonah complains, angry because the Lord spares them. This fascinating story caricatures a narrow mentality which would see God’s interest extending only to Israel, whereas God is presented as concerned with and merciful to even the inhabitants of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian empire which brought the Northern Kingdom of Israel to an end and devastated Jerusalem in 701 B.C. The Lord is free to “repent” and change his mind. Jonah seems to realize this possibility and wants no part in it. But the story also conveys something of the ineluctable character of the prophetic calling. The book is replete with irony, wherein much of its humor lies. The name “Jonah” means “dove” in Hebrew, but Jonah’s character is anything but dove-like. Jonah is commanded to go east to Nineveh but flees toward the westernmost possible point, only to be swallowed by a great fish and dumped back at this starting point. The sailors pray to their gods, but Jonah is asleep in the hold. The prophet’s preaching is a minimum message of destruction, while it is the king of Nineveh who calls for repentance and conversion; the instant conversion of the Ninevites is greeted by Jonah with anger and sulking. He reproaches the Lord in words that echo Israel’s traditional praise of his mercy. Jonah is concerned about the loss of the gourd but not about the possible destruction of 120,000 Ninevites. This book is the story of a disobedient, narrow-minded prophet who is angry at the outcome of the sole message he delivers. It is difficult to date but almost certainly is postexilic and may reflect the somewhat narrow, nationalistic reforms of Ezra and Nehemiah. As to genre, it has been classified in various ways, such as parable or satire. The “sign” of Jonah is interpreted in two ways in the New Testament: His experience of three days and nights in the fish is a “type” of the experience of the Son of Man (Mt 12:39–40), and the Ninevites’ reaction to the preaching of Jonah is contrasted with the failure of Jesus’ generation to obey the preaching of one who is “greater than Jonah”

An ordinary man who want to enter the world of writing novels, trying to take part in a novel writing competition, but suddenly his soul got transmigrated into the world of novel writing contest themes.

A certain man had two sons, and younger son said to his father, give me my possession, let me go and live my life, the way it please me, so the younger son went. After sometimes, the younger son have spend everything he had, so there was a great famine in the land, the younger son have to go and join himself to a citizen of that country. The person that younger son was working for sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his stomach with the husks that the swine did eat. And no man gave into him. The younger son forget who he was, he was suffering, he find no man to favor him, so many of us are like that today. Are you like the PRODIGAL SON? THINK TWICE AND BE SAVE. (Luke 15 vs 17). And when he came to himself, he said how many hired servant of my fathers have enough bread and to spare and I perish with hunger. You don't have to perish, is not the will of God. Most of the problem we find our self today, we are the cause by our own decision. The younger son said to himself, I will arise and go to my father and I will say unto him father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee. And am no more worthy to be called thy son, make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. God can not forget you, can a mother forget her sucking child, No". God think about you.." Psalm 139 vs 17." Turn from your ways and God will clean you from every unrighteousness. You are precious to God, because he made you and form you in his image and likeness. Is not the will of God for any one to perish but to come to repentance, that why he send his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to come and die for you and I. (John 3 vs 16). No matter your wrong, God will still take you back, because you so precious before him. But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best rope and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet. You will be crown as prince, because your father (God) is a king, he received him with happiness, it was also with God, if you repent, God will rejoice with all his angels. The things of this world profit nothing, but death and sorrow. The younger son love the world, but what he face after was terrible, love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him. "1john 2 vs 15.". Love God because he loves you, and because of that he sent his only son Jesus Christ to die for you and I, THINK TWICE, my brother and sister, don't be deceived by what you see in the world, they are vanity. CHAPTER TWO. THE ONLY WAY. Jesus Christ is the only way in the book of john 14 vs 6.jesus said unto him, "I am the way the truth and the life. No man cometh to the father, but by me. There are no other ways, no other truth, no other except Jesus Christ. Maybe you have been passing through many ways, but I tell you, Jesus Christ is the the only way. The way here symbolise his instructions. "Proverbs 8 vs 5" He said, O ye simple understand wisdom and ye fools be ye of an understanding heart, if you read down to verse 10 to 11.He said received my my (ways) instructions and not silver (money) and knowledge rather than choice gold.. For wisdom is better than rubies and all the things that maybe desire are not to be compared to it. You see what God is telling you. All the things you desired are in God, what are you looking for, money, power, fame etc mention them, they are all in God.. The only way to get what you desire, is to seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all this thing shall be added unto you. Do you think God can lie, No he can not, he has said it, so shall it be. Just follow the only way think twice now and be save. He said in the book of Isaiah 45 vs 2 to 3,"I will go before thee to make the crooked places straight :, I will break in pieces the gates of bra
