Obadiah:
Obadiah
had a vision with God saying that Edom (descendants of Esau) was so despised
among the nations that God was going to make other nations to attack Edom by
belittling Edom. Although Edom feels like the eagle and star in the skies, but
God was going to bring Edom down. Those who allied with Edom shall chase him
away, those who had peace with him will deceive and overpower him, and those who
eat with him will kill him. God is punishing Edom because of his violence
towards Israel (Jacob), their brother.
Jonah 1:
God asked
Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh and speak against it because their
wickedness had to be addressed by God, but Jonah got on a ship to sail away from
both God and Nineveh. So God brought a great storm against the ship to the
extent that they throw all the cargo off the ship to make the ship lighter and
each passenger had no choice but to call on their gods for help. So they caste
lots to see who was responsible for the storm against them and it fell on
Jonah. Jonah then explained his disobedience and advised them to throw him into
the sea to calm the storm. This they did, and Jonah was swallowed by a whale
appointed by God for 3 days. |

Jonah 2:
Jonah
prayed to God from the stomach of the whale asking for forgiveness. Despite his
disobedience towards God, Jonah believed that he will see God’s face and temple
again because God always hears his voice whenever he called on God.
