When people hear JONAH they think of the fish story and stop there. But it gets juicier as you read on.
Jonah was a ln interesting prophet.
He and God had an amazing father-son relationship.
But he had last born tendencies and was always sulking and throwing tantrums.

The drama started when God sent Jonah to Nineveh to go and tell the people there to repent or be destroyed.
Jonah decided no can do! He hated Nineveh because the people there were wicked. He wanted them destroyed.
He missed the "Love your enemies" lesson in Sunday Schoolhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">

So Jonah bought a ticket and boarded a ship going in the opposite direction.
He wanted to go so far away that God wouldn& #39;t catch him [Omnipresence ke dear Jonah?]
Then God was like, I see you. So He sent a terrible storm to hit the ship.
Jonah volunteered to be thrown out.

He landed on a whale and it ate him.
God said & #39;I& #39;ll leave you here so you can think about your life and reevaluate your choices. Call me when you& #39;re ready"
Day 3 Jonah said "OK fine! Get me out of here! I& #39;ll go to Nineveh"
So the whale vomited him on a nice white-sand beachhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏖" title="Strand mit Sonnenschirm" aria-label="Emoji: Strand mit Sonnenschirm">

God said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
Jonah gave God the silent treatment. He didn& #39;t believe that God wouldn& #39;t destroy Nineveh! Those guys were trash.

So Jonah went up on a hill to see if for real for real God would stick to His decision. He thought God would see how upset he was and strike Nineveh downhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤞" title="Crossed fingers" aria-label="Emoji: Crossed fingers">
God didn& #39;t.
Manje it was really hot on that hill.
So God sent a plant to give Jonah shadehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏖" title="Strand mit Sonnenschirm" aria-label="Emoji: Strand mit Sonnenschirm">
