Jonah 3:9
4/26/2025
Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from His fierce anger so that we will not perish.
Jonah’s message to Nineveh had been only judgment, with no mention of mercy at all. Nevertheless, the leadership of the city must have heard that mercy was a possibility with the God of Israel, so they lifted what hope they could, and they garnered a terrific response of repentance. They did what they could outwardly and trusted God to look upon their hearts. Ultimately, to Jonah’s chagrin, God did recognize the repentance for what it was and remembered mercy, and for the time spared that great city. The Ninevite leaders were right about God’s propensity to mercy, even though the prophet who had spoken to them was content to hide it. It was still 840 years before Calvary, but God was looking ahead with steadfast purpose to Jesus.
