Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jonah finally agree to preach to Nineveh?+

Jonah had been miraculously delivered from the belly of a great fish in Chapter 2. After this experience, God's word came to him again, and this time Jonah obeyed and went to Nineveh as instructed (Jonah 3:1-3).

Was Jonah happy about God sparing Nineveh?+

No. While Jonah 3 shows God's mercy and the Ninevites' repentance, Chapter 4 reveals that Jonah was displeased with God's decision to spare the city and wanted judgment to fall upon them instead.

What makes the Ninevites' repentance in Chapter 3 remarkable?+

The Ninevites responded immediately and completely to a foreign prophet's message with sincere repentance involving fasting, sackcloth, and turning from evil—from the king down to the common people and even the animals. This response led God to spare the city from the threatened judgment.
