The index in the front of your Bible should help. 2|Jonah 1:1 - He was from Gath-hepher in Zebulun. 3|Jonah 1:2 - The capital of the Assyrian Empire. 4|Jonah 1:3 - Tarshish was the opposite direction from Nineveh, showing that he was physically and spiritually going in completely the wrong direction. 5|Jonah 1:5 - It seems strange to think he was asleep through the raging storm while all the sailors where above in a state of panic. 6|Jonah 1:5 - This shows just how worried the sailors were to resort to throwing the cargo overboard. 7|Jonah 1:7 - An ancient method to supposedly find out the mind of a god - in this case the true God directed the lot to fall upon Jonah. 8|Jonah 1:12 - Jonah knew that he did not deserve to live. 9|Jonah 1:16 - They probably became true converts to the God of Israel. 10|Jonah 1:17 - What Jonah is best known for, though there is much speculation to what creature actually swallowed him. It couldn't have been a whale because the throat of a whale can barely take the size of a man's leg - a shark might be more likely, but "Jonah and the Shark" doesn't quite have the same ring to it! 11|Jonah 1:17 / 2:10 - Three days and three nights, perhaps echoing the time Jesus would spend in the tomb. 12|Jonah 3:3 - No longer disobeident he rose up and went where he should have gone in the first place. 13|Jonah 3:4 - This number is often associated with humiliation... 40 days fasting, 40 years in the wilderness. 14|Jonah 3:5-8 - They believed that the word Jonah spake came from God not from man and repented. 15|Jonah 4:1 - Jonah felt that they should still be destroyed. He thought he knew how to govern better than God. 16|Jonah 4:5 - A place where he probably had a good view of the city. 17|Jonah 4:7 - God employees even the smallest of creatures to do His work. This was to teach Jonah a lesson in pity. 18|Jonah 4:8 - In addition to the hot sun this was virtually intolerable and Jonah felt faint. 19|Jonah 4:11 - That is those who could not distinguish between good and evil. 20|Anyone have a special way of remembering the order of these?
