THE BOOK OF JONAH
CHAPTER 3
THE BOOK OF JONAH SUMMARY ADVENTURE
BIBLICAL NINEVEH BIBLE STORY PATH
Happy to see you here today at our Daily Bread Big Fish tale of Jonah. Let's harpoon
another great lesson today shall we? When the Word of the Lord came to Jonah
a second time, God said get up and go to Nineveh, that great city and preach
to them the words that I will tell you.
Jonah didn't "flounder" around this
time he went to Nineveh and obeyed the Lord. Nineveh was such a BIG city
that it took three days to travel from one side of the city to the other.
Jonah went one day's journey into the city and cried out the Lord's message.
"In 40 days, Nineveh will be overthrown" ...
The people of Nineveh believed the message from God and they announced a
fast. Everyone put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. Even
the king of Nineveh did so.
THE BOOK OF JONAH SUMMARY RESEARCH
BIBLICAL NINEVEH BIBLE STORY JOURNEY
He made a proclamation throughout Nineveh that
no man, beast, herd or flock was to eat or rink anything and be covered with
sackcloth and cry out mightily to God. He demanded every soul turn from
their evil way and perhaps God's anger would be calmed and they would not be
destroyed.
Here is a lil Daily Bread crumb for ya ... "Sackcloth" was a custom of
mourning in the Middle East region. They would wear a very coarse cloth or
goat or camel hair. I bet it was uncomfortable and a constant reminder of
what you had done wrong while wearing it.
"Fasting" is where they would not
eat or drink for a said period of time. This would deprive the flesh of
nourishment which would bring one closer to their spiritual side making their senses
keener. As far as the "Ashes" ...
They would cover themselves with dirty
sooty ash as to show they were dirty with sin. They didn't throw a quick
apology up to God and carry on as usual, NO WAY ... They repented.
THE BOOK OF JONAH SUMMARY TRUTH
BIBLICAL NINEVEH BIBLE STORY CONTINUES
Well, the people of Nineveh must have been sincere in their repenting for
their sins cuz it worked and God forgave them and decided not to destroy the
city. It was their earnest, heartfelt plea for forgiveness that brought
forth the forgiveness. Kinda makes you want to be a lil more sincere the
next time you need forgiveness from our Father does it not?
Take care and be sure to return for our next Daily Bread Bible Study on the
book of Jonah.
