The Twelve Minor Prophets Jonah Chapter 3 Summary

Mission Accomplished

  • The next chapter has another surprise in store for anyone who is a hardcore Minor Prophet fanboy.
  • God repeats his instructions to Jonah—go to Nineveh with the bad news.
  • Jonah’s learned his lesson, so he walks to Nineveh and preaches that God will destroy Nineveh in forty days due to their wickedness.
  • They believe him. When has that ever happened?
  • Out of the blue they decide to repent, and this leads God to hold off on wiping them out. So everyone lives happily ever after, yes?
