By R. L. Wilson: “A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. (Matthew 16:4)
We have looked at the book of Jonah in two other articles, so I’ll just give a brief review, then add the book’s interesting postscript.
God told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and tell them that He was about to destroy them because of their great wickedness. Jonah didn’t want to go, so he took off in the wrong direction, took a ship heading west, and ended up in the belly of a fish.
But even the fish couldn’t stomach him, and Jonah ended up on dry land again. This time he headed in the right direction.
