God asked Elisha three major things, but he only made one
Elisha came to the outskirts of Damascus in Syria and did not speak out. Instead, he found a place to stay and wait quietly. He is waiting for someone to appear. Master Elijah talked to God on Mount Sinai. God asked him to do three great things. Elijah only made the last one, and he took Elisha as an apprentice. Two other Elijahs were handed over to Elisha. Elisha knew that the time had come.
The man really came, and the door opened, and Elisha opened the door. When I was young, my eyes were dark, my eyes were black and my chest was squatting, and I was escorted to Elisha, and the servant behind me took forty camels and took all kinds of precious gifts. Elisha asked: "Where are you coming?"
The man replied again: "I am Hasha, the king of the Hada, and Wang is seriously ill in bed, feeling depressed. I heard that Mr. here, I sent a greeting and sent some thin gifts. By the way, Wang wants to ask. Can he recover this time?"
"You go back and tell him that he will heal. But the Lord told me that after you go back, Hada will die..."
Live in Lisaton, stare at Hazael, and look at him seriously, as if he had known him a long time ago, as if he was looking at what was behind him, and the tears slowly rose into the eyes of Elisha, and then flowed into his gray whiskers. Such as autumn dew into the hay.
Hazael was uncomfortable to see: "My lord, why are you crying?"
Elisha wiped away the tears with a rough palm and said quietly, "Just now, my God showed me how you would harm the people of Israel: you want to burn their fortress, kill their strong men, and smash their babies, and Lively cut the belly of a pregnant woman."
"What is your servant, but a dog, how can you do this big thing?"
Hasha seems not to be surprised.
"The Lord also told me that you are to be the king of Aram."
Elisha finally said that God had told Elijah the prophecy of Elijah, but he did not say more, nor did he anoint Hasha in accordance with God's command. He could not anoint an enemy to slaughter his compatriots. But he knew that he could not delay any longer. God decided to use Hasha to make a rod and hit the Israelites so that they might wake up.
Hassel's eyes flashed like a meteor, but there was no light, because there were so many servants in the back, and because Elisha refused his gift, he hurriedly said goodbye and rushed back to the Royal Palace of Aram, and comforted him on the sickbed. "Elyssa told me that you will be healed." The king looked a little slower.
The next day, Hasha once again visited the king and negotiated important things. Wang Ming left the attendant to retreat. Hasha sat on the edge of the bed and saw that the water in the king's wash basin had not been dumped. Then he was immersed in the pot and the king was not prepared. He picked up the horn of the water and held the nose and mouth of the king. After the dying struggle of Benjad, he stopped breathing. Hazael therefore took the throne and became the king of Aram.
When Hazael became king, the king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, had passed away for eight years, and the throne was taken over by his son Harlan. When Harlan ascended the throne, he killed all his brothers to consolidate the throne. His queen is Ahab, the daughter of Ahab, and Ahaziah, the son of Ahab. Harlan was fond of the Queen, and introduced the false god she worshipped, causing her to be angry. God drove the Philistines in the west of Judah to join the Arabs in the south, and invaded Judah, and took away all the treasures in the palace of Jerusalem, snatched the wives of Haran, and killed his sons, leaving only the sons. Aya Liya and Ahazi mother and son. God also punished Harlan for having a disease of rectal prolapse, and the intestines were dragged out of the body, stinking and smelling bad, but unable to smooth bowel movements. Two years later, he died in severe pain. He was forty years old and passed the throne to his son Ahaziah.
Ahaziah, like his father, was a frequent visitor to Israel because of his in-laws. After Hazael was enthroned, the king of Israel, Jolan, wanted to take the opportunity to recover the lost land of the country, because his father Ahha died in Ramo in the last battle. So he invited Ahaziah, the king of Judah, to send troops together.
Although Hajj was just a king, he was calm and determined to send troops to meet the Israeli coalition forces. The two sides fought hard, Yoland was injured, and he withdrew from the front line and returned to the summer residence in Jezreel. King Ahaziah of Judah also took the opportunity to exit the front line and visit Jezreel. The front is guarded by both sides and is in a state of glue.
Elisha heard this battle and knew that the second thing that God had done to Elijah could be accomplished, so he sent a prophet to Rama to find Israel's fierce Jehu.
One morning, Yehu was in the end of the meeting with other generals to discuss the situation. The door suddenly opened. A young man ran in, carrying a tank of oil in his hand. After looking around the crowd, he said to Yehu: "General, I have I want to tell you.” Jehu did not know the coming, but saw the prophet’s dress and asked, “Who are you talking to?”
"It's for you, the general," the man said, walking to the side of Jehu, pulling him into the inner room, closing the door tightly, going to the center of the room, calling Jehu down, pouring the ointment to the head of Jehu. Then, say, "The Lord of Israel, the Lord, says to you, 'I anoint you as the king of my children. I will kill the family of your master Ahab and avenge my servants because they are being washed by Jesus. Don't kill. The family of Ahab will perish, regardless of slaves or free men. The body of Jezebel will be eaten by dogs in the field of Jezreel, and no one will be buried."
The ointment dripped down the leaves of Jehu's hair, and the room was filled with a strong aroma. Yehu squatted on the ground, reminiscing about what he had just heard, but the prophet stopped talking, turned to open the door, passed through the generals, and ran away. .
The generals turned their heads and saw Jehu coming out of the inner chamber. There seemed to be a burning fire in the eyes. There was anointing oil flowing down his hair to the battle suit. Everyone smelled a strong aroma. "Are you okay? What did the madman come to look for?" Someone asked.
Jehu’s heart leaped up. If the horse was to break its reins, he insisted on calmness: “Don’t you recognize him? You should know what he is doing.”
"We don't recognize him. Tell us what he is doing."
The horse finally broke free of the reins: "He told me that the Lord has anointed me to be the king of Israel."
There was a sudden silence in the room, and then a thunderous voice broke out. The generals took off their shirts and laid them at the feet of Jehu. They leaned over to the court, and others ran outside, blowing the horn and shouting: "Yehu is king." ”
Jehu stopped the generals and said, "If you really stand up to be king, you will return to your military camps immediately. You should not let anyone arbitrarily report to Yoland, and strictly guard the enemy." Later, Jehu called the guards to prepare the chariots and horses, and personally selected the soldiers, and then jumped into the chariots. When the ride was first, the dust went and went straight to Jezreel.
Ye Huma is non-stop, more than a hundred miles away, half a day. When the sun was hanging over the walls of Jesseli, Jehu finally saw the figure of the soldiers shaking on the wall, and called the car to speed up the speed. The gate suddenly opened, and a horse came flying. When he stopped in front of Jehu, the sentinel immediately asked: "When the king sent me to ask, what is the general?"
Jehu replied: "What is your business? You are behind me." The sentinel obeyed the generals of Jehu and obeyed.
Another horse came flying, and the sentinel asked the same question. He was also placed in the chariot after Jebe.
The gate opened for the third time, and the two chariots came out one after the other. Yehu has already seen the Israeli chariot on the front of the chariot, and then slowed down and prepared. Harlan arrived in the blink of an eye and asked Jehu in the car: "Why did the general come from the front line? But good news?"
"Where the country is full of idols and sorcerers of your mother Jezebel, how come you?"
Jehu held a good bow and said that he was close to Harlan.
Yoland’s face was pale, and he quickly turned his head and drove his horse to escape. Ahahie, who came forward, shouted: “Ahache, Jehu is against!”
The voice just fell, a sharp arrow in the middle of Yoland's left back, as lightning, running through the heart of Yoland, the arrow from the front chest. Yoland fell on the chariot and immediately killed himself. It was the father of Ahab who took possession of Nabo’s vineyard and had been transformed into a vegetable garden by Ahab.
Yehu did not stop, he was like a hound dog chasing the hare, his eyes fixed on the chariot of the escaping King Ahaziah of Judah, chasing the horse.
The name of the woman who has disappeared from the world
The fierce horse whose son was shot was uploaded back to the inner palace. Jezebel had just ran out of the inner room and heard the rumble of the chariot rushing into the outer court. No way to escape, Jezebel turned and went back, dressed up on the mirror, and soon came out again, a beautiful young woman with a squirrel. She is a beautiful woman, and she can rely on the beauty to make the rebellious Jehu fascinated. She boarded the high building of the inner palace and relied on the high view to maintain a safe distance when negotiating with Jehu.
Jehu heard the embarrassment on the palace floor and looked up. Jezebel stood on the platform and stood next to a row of eunuchs and ministers. "Say the traitor who killed the master, how are you?" The voice of Jezebel was charming and harsh.
Jehu yelled at everyone around her: "Who is standing on my side?" Several people pointed out.
"Throw her down for me." Jehu sipped at them.
The couple exchanged their eyes and grabbed Jezebel together, and together they lifted her up high and threw them out of the building. Jezebel made a desperate scream and suddenly stopped at a muffled sound. Jehu looked at the probe from the chariot, and Jezebel had shattered the skull, overflowing his brain, splashing blood, and smashing into the wall and the battle of Jehu. The gate was opened.
Yehu did not say anything, driving the chariot over the body of Jezebel and entering the inner palace. One day passed, the big thing was solved, and he had to sit down and have dinner.
After dinner, Yehu suddenly remembered something and said to the soldiers around him: "To bury the cursed woman, she is the Princess of Sidon after all." The men took the life and went outside the city, but saw a group. The wild dog is eating there with gusto. From time to time, later dogs get together to eat the meat residue on the ground. The sergeant was disgusted and dispelled the dog. There are only mottled blood on the ground, setting off the skeleton of Bai Sensen's skull and hands and feet.
After listening to the reward, Jehu sighed and said, "This is fulfilling the words of the Lord through the servant Elijah. "The dog will eat the flesh of Jezebel in the field of Jezreel. The body of Jezebel will be like Jez. No one can recognize the feces in the fields. It is since then, no one in the world has named his daughter Jezebel.
I thought of the seventy sons of Ahab in the city of Samaria. Jehovah wrote a book and sent people to the princes and elders in the city to let them choose a son of Ahab to be king, so that they could face the troops of Jehu. . The leaders of the city quickly let the messenger come back with a secret letter, saying that they are willing to return to Jehu and obey his arrangements. So Jehu repaired another book: "Since you are obedient to me, at this time tomorrow, come to Jezre with the first level of your master's son and grandson."
Two days later, in the early morning, there were two piles of human heads outside the city of Jezreel. Each pile consisted of thirty-five, and the two men’s blood was flying in the wind. The hair on the head fluttered in the wind, and the mouth was empty and seemed to sigh silently. The black eagle hovered in the air, and the swarms of flies flew up and down from time to time, but the wild dogs did not dare to approach, but they were far from crying helplessly. It turned out that these people were the seventy sons of Ahab. They were sent by the people of the city of Samaria on the night before, and Jehu immediately called his men to pile up outside the city, to deter the people, and to give himself a victory.
The capital, Samaria, was returned. Jehu has killed his eyes and will kill more people in the name of God to consolidate his throne. He killed all the relatives, ministers, friends, and priests of Ahab in the city of Jezreel. No one was spared. Their innocence was murdered, which angered the Lord God, and thus predicted that Jehu would be king only to the fourth generation.
Jezreel was flat, and Jehu led the army to Samaria and went to the wild. He met a group of messengers and was heading to Jezreel. Jehu asked who they were. They replied: "We are relatives of King Ahaziah, and now I am going to greet Wang and Jezebel."
Yehu exchanged his eyes with his men. It turned out that these people did not know what happened in the city of Jezreel, and they did not know that when Ahabah, the king of Judah, fled by the chariot, he was seriously wounded by his own chasing man and died when he fled to Megiddo. Yehu shouted and asked his men to catch the messengers who were at a loss and drag them to a well. Forty-two innocent people were killed.
Jehu entered Samaria and captured the men in the house of Ahab, including the servants and slaves, and killed them all. One did not stay, fulfilling Elijah's prophecy.
A few days later, the bureaucrats across Israel sent a message to their people over the king of Jehu: "Aha is not enthusiastic about Baal, and my Jehu is to be more enthusiastic, so I will offer a great sacrifice to Baal at the Baal Temple. Baal priests and believers must attend the ceremony as scheduled. Anyone who does not come will be killed by disrespect."
As time went by, the Baal Temple was crowded, and the believers in the temple wore the uniform sacrifices from Jehu. Everyone smiled and did not want to be so honored. Jehu not only sent heavy troops to guard the temple. People who don't believe in Baal have no qualifications to enter the temple. The sacrifice began, and Jehu offered sacrifices, and then handed the procedure to the Baal priests and walked out. The temple door was closed.
The temple door suddenly opened again, and everyone in the temple was disturbed to look back. A group of soldiers armed with long and short weapons, slashed and killed the Baal believers at the door. The courage of the people in the temple was lost, and the instinct squeezed into it, which made it easier for the soldiers to slash. Less than a moment of effort, the entire temple was corpse, blood and water flowing, all the Baal believers, all killed by Jehu, no one left. The soldiers dragged the dead bodies out of the inventory and set fire to the pillars of Baal. The temple later became a public toilet.
In this way, Jehu has ridiculed the worship of Baal, just as Elijah expected Aha on Mount Carmel a few decades ago. Jehu also eradicated the Ahab family. Just as Ahab killed Naboth, Elijah prophesied to Ahab in the vineyard of Nabo.
After Jeju has killed many innocent people, there is no longer any worries and peace of mind. Only he forgot one thing: the daughter of Ahab, the mother of Ahazah the king of Judah who died, and the queen of her, and the son of the queen, and the embers of Judah, and a new bloody hurricane.
Jesus’ family tree is almost broken from her hand.
Six years later, the temples in Jerusalem were crowded for the first time, and the Levites and elders from all over Judah came. The five military officers will inform them before the lead. The crowd saw the five officers standing on the steps outside the temple.
The five officers each led a detachment and guarded around the temple. Since the temple was built two hundred years ago, the soldiers who had swords and scabbards were guarded for the first time in the temple. Everyone was silent and silent. There was only a sacred ritual fireworks in front of the temple, and the mountain winds were slightly swayed, and the chanting of the priests in the temple was passed to the distance.
The door of the temple opened, and Jehoi came out. He was wearing a high priest's robe, his face was thin, his chest was long, and he stood between the two pillars of the temple door, and he looked at the crowd. The soldiers on the temple suddenly increased their murderousness and held the sword in their hands. The people in the yard held their breath and fixed their eyes on the high priest.
"For six years, the temple has been ridiculous for six years, and you have not been worshipped by the Lord for six years. You should remember the things that happened in the palace six years ago." The high priest said slowly.
Everyone stunned, some people clenched their teeth, and some people shed tears, but no one answered. The temple is as quiet as a desert.
The high priest continued: "Six years ago, the king of Israel, Jehu, shot and killed the first king, Ahaziah. The news was sent back to Jerusalem. The first eldest son of the king should follow the example of the throne. Some of you have participated in the planning. But no one thought of that. The wicked woman, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, the loyal follower of Baal, and the daughter of the Queen Mother, she made a vicious thing than the serpent. She was the mother of the first king, and she was the son of the first king. The grandchildren had poisoned hands! She killed all the grandchildren and their families in the palace overnight!"
There was a slight sob in the temple courtyard, and someone who had experienced it on the bloody night six years ago.
"This evil woman, after her husband and the first king Haran had just ascended the throne, killed him and killed all his brothers. After that, the invading Philistines killed all the brothers of the first king Ahaziah. The house of David had only her son Ahaziah, and she had poisoned all the sons and daughters of Ahaziah! She was to kill the promised David sons!"
Someone in the hospital burst into tears. The despair that was suppressed by fear like a stone in six years finally fell off the cliff. They know that the Jewish people have no hope anymore.
Jehoi reached out and pushed down to signal calm: "Alyariya thought she had killed all the sons and daughters of Ahaziah and took herself to the throne until today. Not only that, but she is still Jerusalem built the Baal Temple and joined the Baal priest Mattan to give birth to children and seek to be kings in this generation. But the Lord kept the blood of David."
The crying in the courtyard suddenly stopped, such as the surprisingly brief calm in the sky after lightning.
"On the night of six years ago, Athalia did not know that the woman of Zebba, who had just given birth to a child, was the son of the first king Ahaziah. The name of the child was Joash. The bloody night, this child The aunt and the sister of the first king, Joshua, rushed to the mother of the child and took the child from the scorpion together with the mother to the royal palace and hid in a secret room in the temple."
The crowds were upset and excited, and they all knew that Joshua was not only the sister of Ahaziah, but also the wife of the high priest. People are shaking. Only the five generals and the leaders of the temples did not change their colors. They had prepared everything for today. The soldiers stood as a stone and stood by the sword.
At this time, the temple blew a loud horn, and the music swelled. The temple door opened wide. A group of priests and musicians came out in turn, standing sideways on the sides of the copper pillars, and turned back. The people in the order picked up their toes and rubbed their necks as they saw a small figure slowly coming out of the temple.
A quiet boy stood between the copper pillars of the temple. His face was pale and his body was small. Like a seedling that lacked sunlight, his eyes glowed with a melancholy and calmness that a six-year-old child should not have. He stood next to Jehoi, and looked down at the crowd. There was another sob in the crowd, like the sound of sand and sand.
"Look, this is the only descendant of King Ahaziah. This is the forgiveness of Joash. This is after the Lord has reserved for us. The king's son should have been king, because this is the Lord's David. Promised."
Jehoiada took the crown from the priest behind him, and put it on the child, and placed the book of Moses on the child's hand. There was a thunderous cheer in the crowd: "Long live the king, long live the king."
The music rang again, and the priestly class responsible for the music sang the poems of David. The people shed tears and sang together, and the songs came out of the temple and lingered in Jerusalem.
The song suddenly stopped, and everyone in the courtyard looked back at the courtyard door, where a woman stood, wearing a crown, a golden ring of ten fingers, wearing a magnificent royal suit, staring straight at the boy on the temple, angry from Both eyes are ejected. She slammed the royal suit and shouted: "Reverse! Reverse!"
The five centurions on the temple stage led a group of soldiers to encircle Yashe Liya and her entourage. Jehoi screamed, "This is the holy place of the temple, and it cannot be tainted by the blood of this evil woman. You dragged her out and avenged the sons of the first king outside the city."
Athaliah was strangled outside the gates of Jerusalem, because the door was dedicated to the delivery of goods, and the road was mostly horse dung. Six years after her aunt Liya, she fell into the horse dung and dust.
The high priest Jehoiada led the crowd to smash the Baal Temple, killing his priest Mattan in the temple, and restored the Levi priest of the temple, and resumed the six-year ritual ritual.
After six years in the temple, Joash went to the throne and was only seven years old. As the Lord promised David, his children and grandchildren became kings.
The death of an old man accelerates the decline of a country
Elisha is old and sick in bed. The sun moved westward, the interior was dim, and the east-facing window was closed, and the faint light did not seem to reach the old man leaning against the bed in the Western Wall. Elisha looked out the window and could only see a few yellow autumn leaves hanging on a fig tree in the courtyard. Winter is coming.
Elisha no longer has physical strength to go outside, his body is like an autumn leaf, lying alone on the couch, shivering, I am afraid that it will be blown away by the autumn wind. The fig tree outside the window sways in the wind, and another leaf falls down.
Before the last moment, he quietly waited for one person to come. This is the last chance.
Elisha closed his eyes and saw Elijah came to his hometown more than 50 years ago to accept himself as a disciple. At that time, Master had just returned from Mount Sinai, and Israel was still strong. At that time, if the king of Ahab really repented, how could Israel have the sorrow of today? Master was finally disappointed to leave.
After fifty years, I have to leave. The Ahab family, as Master predicted, was annihilated by the clouds of smoke. Jehu was the king of Israel, but he still worshipped the golden calf. Hazael also prophesied himself as the king of Syria. What a ruthless lion he was, occupied all the land of Israel in the east of Jordan in the years of Jehu. Israel was like a green leaf, but only half of the yellow leaves were left.
Jehu died in the 28th year of his reign. Johas, who succeeded him, became king for seventeen years and passed away. Johas, you worship the golden calf like your father, and even worship the false god Asherah. The wrath of God is upon you, and Hasha tramples on Israel as he tramples dust until there are only ten chariots left in your country, fifty cavalrymen and 10,000 steps. Jehoahaz, even then, why don't you repent until you mourn and die.
Elisha wiped the old tears from the corner of his eye. He heard the sound of the carriage outside the house. The son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel, Joash, came.
Joash was at the door, and after adjusting to the dim light in the house, he saw Elisha curled up in the bed. He leaned down and kneeled in front of the bed, kneeling on the old man, tears and tears: "My father, my father! Israel's chariots and knights!" He mourned, the old man who was leaving.
"You go to take the bow and arrow."
Elisha's hand was pressed on the king's hand, and it seemed to restore the energy of the past years, and the voice was steady and powerful. Wang Zhao did it.
"You open the window."
Elisha looked out the window, as if smelling the smell of spring. The window opened and the autumn wind blew in.
"You lead the archery."
Elisha is like a military order.
An arrow flew out the window with a howling.
"This is the arrow of the Lord's victory, the arrow that defeats the Arameans. For you will attack the Arameans in Aph, until they defeat them."
Eli sofa has a prophecy of victory.
The king turned and looked at Elisha, and there were flashing tears in his eyes. Israel has not won many years.
"You take a few more arrows and hold them in your hands."
Wang Zhao did it, holding a few long arrows in his hand, waiting for the old man’s instructions.
"You take the arrow and slam the ground!"
The king was half-squatting on the ground and hit the ground with an arrow. Puff puff. The wet soil rose and left three pits on the ground.
Elisha sighed, how can God's will be able to escape? How can the country of the false god get the blessing of the true God?
But Elisha was still angry, because this is the last chance, to himself, and to Joash. Joash, why can't you understand my pains!
"Why don't you hit five or six times! Then you can completely destroy the Arameans. But you only hit three times, so you can only beat them three times."
Wang Hao is in the same place, Nono is speechless. Elisha no longer spoke, and there was nothing to say. He looked at the window, the autumn wind blew his cold arm, and another piece of fig leaves fell. When Master Elijah left, he might still be full of hope, and before he left, his heart had already died, and Israel had embarked on a road of no return.
Elisha died suddenly. He ended the time when God called Israel to repent. God began to let the enemy slay Israel, and the prophet he called began to preach the demise of Israel.
The Syrian king Hasha was also dead, and his son Benjad succeeded him as king.
Joash fought with Benjah, defeated him three times, and collected some previously lost cities, as Elisha said. But behind them, a wild mushroom with a powerful power like the rain began to rise. It is the Assyrian Empire.
He was punished by God but was called the greatest miracle by Jesus.
If there is a wheel flip on the bottom of the sea, the deck will pass the impact of the waves to the bottom compartment, and the dark bottom compartment is like a huge speaker, echoing the horrible bass.
He is asleep, like sleeping in the cradle. He was nervous and ran for a few days before boarding the ship. The road was not killed by the lion, nor was it stolen. When I got on the boat, my heart was down, and I was drowned by the drowsiness. The boat went all the way to the west, waiting for the shore to be Spain, away from the sad home, and escaped from the destination that God sent him.
"Sir, sir, you wake up." Someone swayed his shoulder.
He barely opened his eyes, an oil lamp lit up in the dark cabin, and one stared at him like a monster: "I am the captain, looking for you everywhere. This boat is fast, but the wind is full, the passengers of the whole ship They are waiting to die in the top cabin. Why do you still have the mind to hide here to sleep?"
The hull, like a water monster that has been squeezed, gives a desperate embarrassment. He sat up, but did not speak, followed the few people to climb the top compartment. There were different horror eyes in the cabin, and the low-pitched prayers fluttered in the darkness.
The captain said loudly: "The whole ship is here, let us draw lots to see who is angering God."
The captain threw the sign, checked out, and got him. Hundreds of pairs of eyes cast him on him, and a trembling voice asked, "What are you doing here? Who are you, where are you from?"
"I am a Hebrew, named Jonah, who worships the true God who created the heavens and the sea, the prophet of Israel, prophesied to the king of Israel, Jeroboam, and assisted him in the recovery of the land of Israel. God sent me to the east this time. To Nineveh, the capital of Assyria."
A big wave rolled up, people swayed to the end of the boat like a swing, and slipped back together. "Then why do you have to run counter to each other and take the boat to the west?" asked a crying voice.
"Who do you not hate those cruel Assyrians? Who do not know that they are happy to slaughter the city, and the captives will be peeled alive? My country will be beaten again and again by them."
Jonah paused: "God sent me to the bloody lion's cave, and the devil, Nineveh, told them the warning of the Lord and gave them the opportunity to repent."
"But why do you run like this?" The sailor's voice did not fall, another big wave rolled up, the ship was almost vertical, and the scream of the ship was like a mosquito flying outside the ship.
"Throw me into the sea, the wind and waves will calm down. It is because of me, but I am tired of everyone." Jonah was drenched by the sea, grabbed the deck, and yelled at the captain and the sailors.
The captain did not answer, adding sailors to shake together, the coastline is like a hairspring floating on the waves, but they are the only hope of their lives. The waves swayed like countless mountains and pushed the boat into the bottom of the valley again and again.
"Don't work harder, how can you overcome the arm of the Lord. Throw me into the sea, and the wind will calm down." Jonah was drunk and moved to the boat, grabbed the rope and begged the captain.
The wind and waves have temporarily subsided, such as the time for the captain to think, the hull of the hull is more harsh. The captain looked at Jonah and looked at the coast again. There is no other way, a few sailors have come up. The captain looked at the sea and shouted out loud, "Do not destroy the Lord because of this man's life. Do not sin against me because we kill this innocent. Lord, this is your work, you are responsible for it." ""
Several sailors lifted Jonah high and threw it out of the boat, and took it into the water. The wind and waves stopped instantly, as the nightmare passed away. The whole ship was stunned, and people squatted and screamed to the Lord.
Jonah fell into the sea like a rock, and the darkness drowned him. He instinctively grabbed the sea, but the sea water penetrated into his nose and mouth like the coagulated air, vomiting and letting more bitter sea water into his lungs. He After a few twitches, I lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, a strange sound awakened him, such as the melodious sound of the sea, but the sound of the waves was gentle as the stream back in the cave. In the meantime, he seems to have returned to the dark bottom of the cabin to sleep, but his body is immersed in the cold and cold water. He squats instinctively making a swimming move, but his arm hits a round and small object. He was surprised, opened his eyes, black and white, and the smell of fish was coming.
Another sound of the piano came, his whole body shook and suddenly, the sea around him suddenly surged, the water surface rose rapidly, drowning him, and the sea water disappeared again, and a clear wind blew. There seems to be a rain outside the cave.
It turned out that this is the belly of a whale, and Jonah suddenly woke up. God did not let him die on the bottom of the sea, but let this big fish swallow him alive and save his life.
In the crowded dead fish, Jonah prayed to God: "Lord, you throw me into the abyss, the sea devours me, the waves of the floods drown me. I sink to the roots of the mountains, the gates of the earth Keep me forever. However, my God, Lord, you have saved me from the deep pit."
After three days and three nights, the fish will spit on the shore. "You got up and went to the city of Nineveh to announce to the residents there what I had told you before." God once again knew Jonah.
In the early morning after a few days, Nineveh entered the door at the gate of the city. His face was thin, ragged, his hair was like a seaweed, and his body was stinking. The whole body's skin was sulphurized in the bricks. He didn't squint. No more words. Although the Nineveh were brutal, they had never seen such strange people, and they were avoiding them, and curious young people followed.
Nineveh is a huge city with a large city wall, a wide street, a building like a tower, and a thick stone. The streets are orderly, and there are patrols from time to time. When the sun sets over the city wall, there is only half a day left from the palace in the city center. It casts a shadow of orange and yellow, which is even more magnificent. Jonah looked at it and stopped. He looked around, stood on a high place, overlooked a few people who were still curious to follow him, and said loudly:
"In another forty days, Nineveh will be destroyed!"
This is what God wants Jonah to warn Nineveh.
After that, he became like a dumb and went into silence again.
