HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND THE EARTH
Do you know what history is? His
tory, as you know, teaches us what is
TO happen in the past event.
Geography shows us where the thing
has happened at. History tells us
where Adam and Eve were created,
and geography shows us where the
Garden of Eden is, which continent
and which division. History tells us
that Adam was the first man that was
created, and while he was sleeping
God took out one of his ribs and made
Eve.
After a while Eve went to walk
among the trees of the garden. Con-
versation took place between her and
the Devil. The Devil told her to eat
some kind of fruit which God had told |
her and Adam not to eat. She took it |
and ate it, and also took some for her
husband. When Adam saw it he did
not take time to ask Eve where she
got it from.
History. geography and the earth
Just do to go together. One tells
forth. Histories are interesting to
read. indeed they are. 1t tells us
something about the whale. The
whale is the largest animal in the sea.
Whale is spoken OF in the Bible. When
God had sent Jonah to Nneveh to
preach to the people about their sins,
Jonah refused to 60. He went into a
ship with some people. He just went
in there to hide from God. But God
caused storm to take place. The !
ship went from this way to that way. |
The people was afraid indeed, and
they began to cast lots. The lot fell |
upon him. They took him up and !
throwed him into the sea.
While he was going TO the very bot a
tom of the sea, he met with this ami $
NAL The whale said: "My friend
where are you goingp" Jonah answer f
ed and said: ~ have disobeyed my n
God and am trying to hide from his
face" !;
The whale said: "You ought to be t,
ashamed of yourself. Don't you know
that neither you nor l can hide from II
his facep' Jonah said: 80, whale am d
20 afraid don't know what am say tf
ing or doing"
The whale said: "JOnah, o, Jonah, h,
take heed to yourself, for indeed | sC
will swallow YOU" .Have mercy on
me, o, whale, and if it is God s will, AZ
be will carry me safe to land so l NAV w
obey him.
The whale said: "Jonah, put your as
read in my mouth, and get ready for m
our life"
Jonah said: 'Whale, l think YOU in
ad better swallow me, because l see tb
here is no use in talking" t;r
The whale said: "Jonah, the idea of =
our running away from God. You ne
ill bear the consequences. That is III
Il have got to say" At the same an
me he did swallow him up. Jonah
,ought the whales body was the do
rave and end. He did not think he wi
ould go to the shore any more, there. 90,
IRE, he offered up prayer to God for m,
is soul, if he should die before he
Duld get to the shore. if it was Gods m,
i'll to carry his soul to heaven. The ms
hale did not rest day after day and in
ght after night, SO after three DAYS alx
