Journey with us through the Book of Jonah in our "The Minors" series. Discover how this 8th-century prophet attempted to flee from God's call to preach to Israel's feared enemy, the Assyrians.

Key Points:

  • Jonah was Israel's first "short-term missionary," called to preach outside his nation
  • The Assyrians were brutal enemies known for extreme violence
  • Jonah initially refuses God's call and attempts to flee
  • After the storm and fish incident, Jonah receives a second chance
  • Nineveh was so vast it required a three-day visit to fully explore
  • The people of Nineveh surprisingly respond with immediate repentance
  • The story reveals God's mercy extends beyond national boundaries
