Bible Note: Greetings Lionstrong! So, are you saying that God told Jonah to say that He was going to overthrow Ninevah in 40 days, but that He never intended to actually do it? Jonah 3:4 is a statement. As such, it can either be true or not! Of course God told Jonah what to say. He was a prophet proclaiming God's word. But, the statement is still God's and it is a statement of intent. Also, consider Jonah 3:10: "When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it." 'When' is a temporal word. The calamity is said to be something which God had declared that He would bring upon them. Then, the verse says that He did not do it. So, how can a declaration of something that God said He would do, not be a declaration of His intention? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
