Jonah

Session Two

In our first study we discovered a few things about Jonah. He was a prophet from about 2,700 years ago, or approx. 750BC. We talked about what a prophet did, who they worked for, and what their message was. They lived a life of dedication to God, set apart from what one might consider a regular lifestyle.

Typically prophets spoke to Gods chosen people, Israel. Because of an earlier covenant God made with Abraham -

• A covenant is like a promise, or an agreement between two people that they agree to certain regulations and/or obligations)

We also discussed some history about the Old Testament, the time the story of Jonah took place.
