Jonah also known as Jonas is the name given in the Hebrew bible to a prophet. Jonah was the son of Amitai and was one of the greatest prophets during the time of Jeroboam II. As a disciple Jonah had anointed Jehu and enjoyed the Kings benevolence. God commended Jonah to go to Nineveh and speak for God and speak out to them telling them what they where doing bad as Nineveh was founded by Nimrod and shorty after during 900 B.C. Nineveh had rose to power, planning on conquering Israel. By 721 B.C. the army had destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel, so Jonah chose to ignore God as he would of liked to see Nineveh go into destruction because if he done what God commended him to do he would be putting Israel into threat. Jonah decided to go into

In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt saved the game of modern football. The game has roots that go back to the 1300’s, and over its immense life it has been attacked and thrashed by those who believe that the brutality of the game lacks civility. But the game has stood the test of time, surviving up until one of its biggest reforms came in the form of a governmental reform by the president of a young and thriving United States. When Roosevelt confronted the issue footballs existence in the modern era hung by a thread. Harvard, Yale ,and Princeton, the biggest names in the game at the time, had decided that they were going to remove the football programs from their Universities. The reason they left: 18 players had died playing football
3 minutes went by and It was the last 2 minutes of the game. I couldn’t even imagine how hot the football players felt with their black jerseys! If they didn’t score a touchdown here they would not win. They threw the ball into the air. It twirled through the air, it looked as if the ball was moving in slow motion. It landed in number 11’s hands on our team.
I’ve never heard a war story that hasn’t made me clench or cry. Museums about war specifically, because they always give you a different view from what you normally see in movies. Tim O'Brien's the things we carried showed an aspect of war that you don’t normally see. Do you ever wonder what it is that soldiers would want to die with if they were to die. Or what they think is the most important item they own that will always need to be with them. Before this story, I never thought about it. Soldiers are human beings that risk there life, they probably have someone back home or something they think is an absolute necessity to have on them. When they're scared they probably have a picture, a letter, or even food to give them just the smallest

He said “something has to change or the season is going to be a disaster”. After the team shook hands with the black bears coach clark was furious that they lost.

Before the Israelites crossed the sea, the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. Pharaoh will think the Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,

Isaiah 9:2-7 is a messianic prophecy and a song of thanksgiving. This passage tells of a child that is to be born and that will save the kingdom of Judah. He will be the savior. Although the prophecy will be fulfilled it will not be in the timing of the people. God’s timing will reign, and the prophecy will be fulfilled in a peculiar way, to human standards. Despite the fact that the prophecy has already been fulfilled there are still lessons that the modern church can take from this passage.
The Israelites stayed at Mt. Sinai for more than a year. During this time, they were occupied chiefly in learning the many details of the law which they were to follow. One of the most important developments that took place was the building of the Tabernacle, the chief purpose of which was to represent God as dwelling in the midst of his people, and it is a type and shadow of Jesus Christ, who was to come.
For this essay I chose the bible passage Exodus 18:13-27 which is about Moses’ Father-in-law, Jethro, advising him on appointing judges and people under him to help take care of and make decisions for the people. This was because Moses was trying to do it all by himself and Jethro helpfully points out that there is no way he can do this by himself day in and day out. He will tire himself out because there are simply too many people for him to settle all disputes and keep everyone aware of all of God’s laws. In this passage there are three levels, the literary level which explores the dialogue between Moses and his Father-in-law Jethro, the ideological level which explores the ideas of God’s laws and the power Moses currently possesses, and the communal level which explores why Israel needed judges and the importance of their appointing.
