The Story of Jonah
In the story of Jonah, God tells
Jonah to go to the great city of Ninevah to preach. Jonah then goes in the opposite direction towards
Tarshish. While on the boat on the way,
a huge storm hits. Everyone on the boat
begins to pray to their God, except Jonah.
Jonah is then thrown out of the boat.
He then is swallowed by a giant fish.
While inside the fish, Jonah calls out to God, but does not admit his
own sin. Instead, he basically blames
God for his own doing. After God sparred
Jonah by having the fish vomit him out at Ninevah, God then again commands
Jonah to preach to Ninevah. Jonah obeys
this time. The city repents but Jonah
himself becomes bitter
