Brooknom's world

Today I cover my second substack article about those who walk away from the faith 

In a Seemingly odd turn of events God has a conversation with Jonah. In this conversation the mercy and long suffering nature of God is on full display.  

Why did the ninevites  repent so seemingly quickly?  why was Jonah so convinced that they would repent thus causing him to flee? I asked these questions and pose some possible answers in this episode.

God often brings the wisdom of the world low with very simple thing's. In this episode I make a loose connection to the books of Jonah referencing Balaam from numbers chapter 22. Also in this episode I bring to bear a current topic in the big picture of a greater biblical idea. 

These are just some of my fleeting thoughts loosely connected through the book of Jonah thus far. 

we see in the book of nahum what happened to Assyria after they went back on their word to God and returned to violence. Could it be that this would have been the fate of Assyria roughly 100 years earlier had they not listened to Jonah. How differently would things have played out? and what happened to Assyria eventually? int this episode I cover these question's.

Jonah goes to the city of Nineveh and preaches to the great city. The people in an odd turn of events (humanistically speaking) repent without hesitation. This seems to be a stark contrast from what is going on in Judah and Israel, and seems to be very similar to the gospel being accepted by gentiles more readily than the jews during the time of Christ.

It is sometimes thought that belief in the Bible and its instruction is without reason. Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist who has been making the rounds of philosophical debate among the prominant thought circles of this age. He has been increasingly interested and intrigued by the Bible and its validity. Now let it be known that he could denounce the Bible and everything  tomorrow, and that would not change the solid foundation upon which the Bible stands( It is true from cover to cover). I do this only to encourage those either young and or weak in their faith that what you believe is not foolish, what you trust is not unreasonable, And the God you serve isn't imaginary.

 So I have decided to enter the realm of articles particularly concerning the biblical. I can not promise you these articles will be any good. I have no idea if my thoughts will translate well to written form, or if I can properly articulate my thoughts in that way. What I wish to do is to permeate as many spaces as I possibly can across the internet with biblical reasoning.

Who was king of Assyria during the time of Jonah. In this episode I cover this with some historical context to the best of my ability. My thoughts on this are not to be misconstrued as dogma I do however believe I am correct on this matter.
