3:51 Alright So Boom!

5:40 Jonah 3 1-2

  • A Second Time

  • Second Chance?

    • Mercy

    • Redeeming

  • Very Close Command as in Jonah 1

    • Where to go

    • What to do

    • Not why this time

    • But Notes the words

  • Meant to elicit a question (What will he do this time?)

16:28 Jonah 3 3-5

  • Straightaway Jonah Responds

    • Arose

    • Went to Nineveh

    • As the LORD commanded

  • Nineveh is Big

    • Three days journey, Jonah goes one day tho

    • What does that mean?

      • Only covered a third of the way?

      • Did not completely follow through?

      • What about the rest of the folks?

      • Hinges on the translation of journey. Some mean journey to be through the city, others think it is a day to travel, a day in and a day back. Still others think this includes following protocol of checking in with the city and waiting prior to going throughout the city. 

  • Delivers the message

    • 5 words in Hebrew

      • 40 Days (timeline)

      • City Overthrown (result if nothing changes) - turned over, demolished

    • What do you think should be in the message?

    • Seems extremely minimal

    • But nothing today that Jonah was disobedient. I think we have to believe that this is what the LORD told him to say. 

  • Their Response

    • The people of Nineveh Believed God

    • They repented - fasted and put on sackcloth  (Matt 12 41, Luke 11 32)

    • All inclusive - is this a summation statement - potentially

    • Jonah spoke and God worked (not elaborate or drawn out)

38:47 Jonah 3 6-9

  • The King of Nineveh

    • Word Reached Him

    • King Responded (personally)

  • King’s Decree (Proclamation that was published)

    • He serious, animals can’t even eat

    • He serious, animals putting on sackcloth

    • Almost seems like he expects the animals to call out mightily to God

    • Repent - turn from evil and violence 

  • Not A done deal - if God does not turn His anger they will perish

    • Fear of the LORD (like the sailors)

    • No control, hope to be heard

54:33 Jonah 3 10

  • God saw

  • God relented

  • God did not overthrow Nineveh
