1 | When a prophet? | Nahum | glory777 | 10949 | ||
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 |
