Jonah 1:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

Knowing God’s Word Jonah

Knowing God’s Word Last week we studied Obadiah, which centered around the prophecy given to Edom of their downfall This week we move on to the book of Jonah The book of Jonah is the 32nd book of our OT; the 5th of the minor prophets

Knowing God’s Word Jonah is the likely author of this book based upon the intimate knowledge of all that happened to him Jonah is the Hebrew word Yonah meaning “dove” He was the son of Amittai (1:1)

Knowing God’s Word Jonah is a bit of a different book of prophecy The book itself does not contain actual prophecy, but rather a historical account of Jonah prophesying Jonah is mentioned in II Kings 14:23-25, placing him in the reign of Jeroboam II (793-753 BC)

Knowing God’s Word Jonah would have been a contemporary of Amos and Hosea He was from Gath Hepher, a city 4 miles NE of what was later Nazareth in Galilee Nineveh, the subject of his preaching, was the capital of Assyria (found in modern day northern Iraq)

Knowing God’s Word Jonah is the only prophet whom Jesus made comparison to regarding Himself (Matt. 12:39-41) Jesus compared Jonah’s 3 days in the belly of the fish to His own death, burial and resurrection Certainly Jesus’ point about Nineveh’s repentance was due to being Gentile

Knowing God’s Word Jonah’s preaching and Nineveh’s reaction should have shamed Israel Here, a Gentile pagan nation repented at the preaching of a stranger while Israel would not repent after its own prophets preached Nineveh’s repentance wouldn’t last and the city was eventually overthrown

Knowing God’s Word There are some misconceptions about Jonah: Some say that Jonah was not a real character Some say that Jonah was swallowed by a whale (1:17 - great fish) Some say that Jonah ran because he was afraid of the inhabitants of Nineveh (4:2)

Knowing God’s Word Key Verses in Jonah: 1:3 1:12 2:7-9 3:4-5 3:10 4:2 4:10-11
