    Jonah's experience in the fish's belly motivates him to acknowledge and plead for God's mercy which Jonah was willing to deny Nineveh from experiencing.

    Question: Why was Jonah in the fish's belly? Almost everyone on the planet knows that!...or think they know! Well he was there because the fish swallowed him! The cause of this predicament was Jonah's original response to God's command. He did not like the idea of doing what God wanted, despite the ...read more

He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more
