2 Peter 3:9, Romans 1:16 and Jonah 4:11

In this book of Jonah, God shows his most significant compassion towards unbelievers and even to other nations regarded as His enemies. Jesus is the bridge that brings salvation today. Back then, it was through sacrifices and by priests and prophets to get his word of salvation. God is not slow about Jesus' second coming, but He desires all to be saved.

We can't hide from God's presence, for He is omnipresent, meaning he is everywhere. In this book, Jonah tries to hide from God, but God is with him the whole time; he is in Jonah's next move. So, is God with us now? Yes, he is, and we can't hide from his presence. As it's stated in this verse in Psalm 139:7-12: "Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there, your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast".

Summarizing God's redemption opportunity is for all people of the earth, first to the Jews and then to all Gentiles like the Nineveh people. And all our sins are laid bare before our God as stated in Hebrews 4:13, for He is everywhere.
