• I’m on the scene (Adam Speaking) - Leading to this point

• The LORD God formed an Earthling from the Earth

• God Breathed life into man

• Man Became (movement from some to something else)

• Commanded him - don’t eat of this tree

• Warned him - the day you eat you will die die.

Read Genesis 2 18-24 - 1:02:46

• Somethings Missing

• God Calls out something that is not Good - alone, no community

• God calls out the remedy for it,

• to create a helper - not stronger not weaker

• To create a helper - to accomplish what God requires of man (multiply, dominion, rule over)

• Fit for him - alongside, complementary, like

• Both are needed to fulfill what God wants for man

• None of this is with Adam, with man - man does not even know what he is missing

• Naming the Animals

• Another time conflict - New Animals Created or Created Animals Paraded

• Cements something in Adam’s mind - there’s no one for me

• Cements the helpmate’s station - alongside Adam

• The first act in Dominion and Subdueing (Naming Denotes Authority) - Not Sovereignty

• The Operation

• The LORD God is performing the surgery

• He caused the deep sleep

• He performed the surgery (removed the rib and closed up the space)

• He fashioned the helper from what was taken from Adam

• God brought the helper before Adam (much like the animals)

• Adam’s bars

• Realization that finally there is someone for me

• Gave a name to the helper - Woman

• Realized her origin - out of man (complementary to him)

•  The Proclamation 

• Because the are suitable for each other the institution of marriage and family is made

• The man leaves their current family bonds

• The man cleaves to his wife (one wife) 

• Publicly establish the covenant between the two

• Have their own family

• Everything was as it should be - no shame and no sin

4:10 Alright So Boom!

6:54 Jonah 4 1-4

• Why you mad, son? 

• This was evil to Jonah

• The LORD relenting on Nineveh

• Still prayed, but a weird prayer

• God is not scared of us coming to Him, with our emotions

• We see why, Jonah ran? - (selfish much)

• Description of the LORD.

• Gracious God

• Merciful

• Slow to Anger

• Abounding in Steadfast Love

• Relenting from Disaster

• Got a death wish? (The second time? - Boat and Now this)

• What do you think of Jonah sitting on the sidelines?

20:11 Jonah 4 5-8

• Is this a recap?

• Jonah’s Actions

• Left the City

• Sat to the East of the City

• Made a booth (hut)

• The LORD God’s actions

• Appointed a Plant (what has the LORD God Appointed throughout this book)

• Made it cover Jonah for shade to save from discomfort (ra’ah)

• Jonah is happy - He glad glad. - because of this plant

• The Next Day

• At Dawn

• God appointed a worm - to attack the plant and it withered

• At Noon

• God appointed a scorching East Wind - to attack Jonah 

• Jonah is Sad, dare I say sad sad

• What did God Control Directly and Indirectly throughout this book?

• What do you see having the bigger impact on Jonah’s happiness?

41:54 Jonah 4 9-11

• God asks a Question

• A Plant Tho’?

• You Pity - Are Troubled, very troubled

• Jonah’s relationship to the plant - No Control Over it

• You did not labor - Exert Yourself for it

• You did not make grow

• Was here for a fleeting moment of which you had no control

• The LORD God’s Relationship with His Creation

• He is troubled (opposite of Jonah) Shouldn’t God be troubled about

• The People He Created

• The People He Grew into a City

• The People that He appoints for times

• God considered this city (a great city to God)

• A lot of people (what is the meaning of great in this book concerning the city)

• Aloof people (not understanding the consequences of their actions, their responsibilities to God, etc.)

• Not to mention the Cattle

• And we are done. A very abrupt ending, meant to have what impact on the reader?

3:51 Alright So Boom!

5:40 Jonah 3 1-2

• A Second Time

• Second Chance?

• Mercy

• Redeeming

• Very Close Command as in Jonah 1

• Where to go

• What to do

• Not why this time

• But Notes the words

• Meant to elicit a question (What will he do this time?)

16:28 Jonah 3 3-5

• Straightaway Jonah Responds

• Arose

• Went to Nineveh

• As the LORD commanded

• Nineveh is Big

• Three days journey, Jonah goes one day tho

• What does that mean?

• Only covered a third of the way?

• Did not completely follow through?

• What about the rest of the folks?

• Hinges on the translation of journey. Some mean journey to be through the city, others think it is a day to travel, a day in and a day back. Still others think this includes following protocol of checking in with the city and waiting prior to going throughout the city. 

• Delivers the message

• 5 words in Hebrew

• 40 Days (timeline)

• City Overthrown (result if nothing changes) - turned over, demolished

• What do you think should be in the message?

• Seems extremely minimal

• But nothing today that Jonah was disobedient. I think we have to believe that this is what the LORD told him to say. 

• Their Response

• The people of Nineveh Believed God

• They repented - fasted and put on sackcloth  (Matt 12 41, Luke 11 32)

• All inclusive - is this a summation statement - potentially

• Jonah spoke and God worked (not elaborate or drawn out)

38:47 Jonah 3 6-9

• The King of Nineveh

• Word Reached Him

• King Responded (personally)

• King’s Decree (Proclamation that was published)

• He serious, animals can’t even eat

• He serious, animals putting on sackcloth

• Almost seems like he expects the animals to call out mightily to God

• Repent - turn from evil and violence 

• Not A done deal - if God does not turn His anger they will perish

• Fear of the LORD (like the sailors)

• No control, hope to be heard

54:33 Jonah 3 10

• God saw

• God relented

• God did not overthrow Nineveh
