In the Book of Jonah, God sent Jonah to Nineveh to preach to the people about the dangers of not honoring Him and keeping His commandments.

Jonah instead of going to Nineveh ran away in the opposite direction to Tarshish.

While in the ship going to Tarshish, the ship encountered great turbulence due to harsh storm that took over the sea.

The sailors later discovered that Jonah was responsible for this turbulence and storm on the sea.

And so they cast him out of the ship into the sea where God allowed a fish to swallow him.

While in the belly of the fish, Jonah repented and asked God for forgiveness.


God forgave Jonah and still sent him to Nineveh, when Jonah preached to the people of Nineveh they repented of their sins and God forgave them and did not destroy the city of Nineveh.

Praise God! Endeavor to tell someone about God today, it may help them to stay alive if they repent.
