The Israelites were suffering under the oppression of the Midianites. God sent an angel to Gideon, who was threshing wheat in secret so the enemy couldn’t steal it. Scripture tells us, “When the angel appeared to Gideon, he said, ‘The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.’” Gideon responded, “If the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us?...The LORD has abandoned us”

The angel persisted saying, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

God made Gideon into a mighty warrior

Jonah claimed to fear God verbally, yet he actually ran away from God’s command to go to Nineveh. His flight was not driven by physical terror of a storm or the journey, but rather by his anger and dread that God would show mercy to his enemies

Jonah did not fear physical danger or failure. Instead, he feared that Nineveh would repent and that God would forgive a ruthless enemy nation he wanted to see destroyed.

Pride and Prejudice: He despised the Assyrians of Nineveh and felt bitter that God’s compassion extended outside of Israel.
