In a sun‑scorched wilderness where prophets dwell in caves and clay huts, the silence is broken only by the rustle of desert wildlife and the occasional whisper of angels. Jonah, a solemn seer, leaves his modest shelter in Golan with a simple staff and a gourd of water, driven by a divine summons that stirs the very rocks beneath his feet. Along the way a curious fox appears, recognizing him as a “man of God” and sparking a strange, philosophical dialogue about the nature of the divine, before both drift into a quiet, star‑lit sleep watched over by an unseen messenger.
Awakening at dawn, Jonah is urged onward by an angelic voice to haste toward Bethel, bearing a warning for King Jeroboam. His trek carries him across the fragrant valleys of Jezreel, past rustic altars and blossoming fig trees, each step echoing the weight of his holy charge. Upon reaching the city, he is ushered into the High Priest’s house, where the desert‑hardened prophet stands poised to deliver the message that could alter the fate of Israel.
