1 | Nineveh's judgment prophecied/take place | Nahum | Makarios | 10790 | ||
The book of Nahum speaks about the utter destruction of Nineveh. When does God's judgment against Nineveh take place in relation to the repentance of Nineveh in the book of Jonah? Are these prophecies spoken of Nineveh at the same time that God sends Jonah to save it? | ||||||
2 | Nineveh's judgment prophecied/take place | Nahum | prayon | 10894 | ||
God gave Jonah a job to do but Jonah ran from God and he was swallowed by a great fish. While in the belly of the great fish Jonah repented and became a prophet in 793BC. His ministry ended in 753BC. Ninevah doesn't fall until 612BC. Ninevah fell well after Jonah ended his ministry, probably well after he died. prayon |

3 | Nineveh's judgment prophecied/take place | Nahum | Makarios | 10899 | ||
Again, thank you prayon for putting the prophecy of Nahum into perspective here.. According to your chronology, Nineveh fell 141 years after Jonah's ministry ended, which would be about 4 generations (if a generation is based on 30-40 years). That would be enough time for the younger generation to forget their repentance and turn back to the sins of their ancestors before them. It makes you wonder where Jonah's reluctance or hatred towards the Ninevites played a role in the sense that the Ninevites turned and repented but yet went back to their wretched sinful ways only 141 years afterward. Their repentance and the Lord's favor upon them only lasted for a brief time in history before sin got the better of them again. Nolan |

The only thing that I couldn't find a date for is when Jonah "met" the fish. Could he of been a prophet before the fish incidence and been a disobedient prophet? | ||||||

I wonder if Nineveh would have been so quick to fall again had Jonah stayed around the first time to give them proper teaching. It is my understanding that the reason Jonah didn't want to go in the first place is because Nineveh was a Gentile city and a good Jew had nothing to do with Gentiles (unclean). Did they even know anything about Moses and the law and God in general other than they sinned against Him? They were prophesied to by a man who didn't like them and wanted nothing to do with them. I think it is amazing they repented at all. Debbie |

Actually Jonah was afraid to go to Nineveh. They had probably one of the most cruelest civilizations known to man. If a person went there and said something the king found objectionable that person would be put to death in one of three most horrible ways. I won’t go into details but let me say it took days and from the word go it was not pleasant. Their hideous tortures were world renowned and I’m sure Jonah when God gave Jonah the opportunity (?) to bring correction to the city, that he viewed the whole thing as a rotten idea and a lousy way to die. I know getting thrown overboard was preferable, however I imagine somewhere between the second and third day in the digestive system of the fish probably changed his mind. Ed |
