Jonah 3:3-10
What happens in Nineveh? The people of Nineveh believe! Yes! Hallelujah! Have you been there before yourself? So into yourself and then when you realize that God has rescued you from the pit, any pit, from the first pit bringing you into His fold (salvation) or even when you need rescued after you have become one of His - any situation you are in! Even today! Call out His name with a repentant cry for rescue and He is there for you just like He was for Jonah!
God not only rescues us He brings rewards! Jonah repented and went God's way to Nineveh and those once wicked people now believed and were saved! God wants all to be saved and He can use us to reach one or a whole city!
What amazes me here is that there is no place in the Bible that says one was not saved! All believed! All were saved! (v. 5- "from the greatest to the least of them.")
The king of Nineveh proclaims a fast! Everyone was to "turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands." Verse ten says, "Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." There's another place to shout "Hallelujah!" The people of Nineveh were shouting I'm sure of it and we can shout with them as we know the God who saves!
So tell me, why was Jonah so displeased and angry?
