With regard to the word "repent" in Jonah 3:10, John Gill writes, "this is spoken after the manner of men, as Aben Ezra observes; and is to be understood, not of any such affection in God as repentance; but of an effect done by Him, which carries in it a show of repentance, or resembles what is done by men when they repent; then they change their course and conduct; so, the Lord, though He never changes His will, nor repents of or revokes His decrees, or alters His purposes; yet He sometimes wills a change, and makes an alteration in the dispensations of His providence, according to His unchangeable will. God, in this case, did not repent of His decrees concerning the Ninevites, but of what He had said or threatened respecting the overthrow of Nineveh, in case of their impenitence; it was His will that they should be told of their sin and danger, and by this means be brought to repentance, and the wrath threatened them be averted; so that here was a change, not of His mind and will concerning them, but of His outward dispensations towards them; see Jer 18:7." | ||||||

Greetings Doc! But, there are rules against adding things to the text. :-( If Jesus had mentioned a condition in the Gospel, I can understand 'adding' it to the account of Jonah. But, there isn't a single verse anywhere that speaks of a condition in the preaching of Jonah. My practice is quite simple - don't add what isn't there! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
