The Call to Go to Nineveh – (part 2) – vv. 1-3

The People Believed – vv. 4-10

God’s Sovereign will

  • Belief in Nineveh
  • Man could not see it, but God did it.

  • The Word Proclaim and the Word Believed
    • Go
    • Preach
    • Belief

Repentance

  • Sorrow over sin (mind)
  • Turning from sin (Life. Actions)
  • From the King to the people

God relented

  • A city of great wickedness
  • Received the grace and mercy of God
  • The Book of Nahum’s predicts the down of the city.
  • Falls to Babylon in 612 BC.

The conversion of the Ninevites in response to Jonah’s message of judgment took place about 760 b.c. The revival was evidently short-lived, because the Assyrians soon returned to their ruthless practices. In 722 b.c. Sargon II of Assyria destroyed Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, and scattered the ten tribes. Led by Sennacherib, the Assyrians also came close to capturing Jerusalem in the reign of King Hezekiah in 701 b.c. By the time of Nahum (c. 660 b.c.), Assyria reached the peak of its prosperity and power under Ashurbanipal (669–633 b.c.). This king extended Assyria’s influence farther than had any of his predecessors.
