Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
