Are You Angry Over a Gourd?
Jonah
Peter Combes – September 8, 2002 

(The answers to the following may be multiple, or "none of the above")

1.        When ordered to Nineveh, Jonah took a ship bound for:
                       Eliat
                       Tarshish
                       Tyre
                       Cyprus

2.       To decide why there was a storm, the sailors:
                       tasted the water
                       measured the wind
                       counted the birds
                       cast lots

3.        Asked his country, Jonah said he was: 
                       an Israelite
                       a Judaean
                       a Samaritan
                       a Hebrew
4.         Jonah was in the fish: 
                       five minutes
                       five hours
                       three days
                       forty days

5.         It took how long to walk across Nineveh:
                       two hours
                       twenty-four hours
                       three days
                       forty days

6.        When the king of Nineveh heard the message of Jonah, he:
                       had him arrested
                       had him thrown out of the city
                       had him executed
                       repented in sackcloth and ashes

7.        Jonah asked God:
                       to take him back to Jerusalem
                       to take him back to Joppa
                       to send him to Egypt
                       to kill him

8.          Jonah was angry because God:
                       destroyed a bush
                       failed to destroy Nineveh
                       had him swallowed by a fish
                       sent him on to Babylon

9.         Nineveh had:
                       over 120,000 inhabitants
                       over 1,000 inhabitants
                       under 1,000 inhabitants
                       no animals

10.       Jesus uses the story of Jonah to talk about:
                       baptism
                       his own death and resurrection
                       the failure of Jerusalem to repent
                       repentance by foreigners
