 The Runaway Prophet A fascinating story is found in the Bible about God instructing His

prophet Jonah to deliver a message to the powerful city of Nineveh

to warn them that God was very displeased with their wickedness.

But Jonah didn’t want to do this, and instead of going to Nineveh,

he boarded a ship that was sailing in the opposite direction.

God wasn’t pleased with Jonah’s disobedience. Soon a terrible

storm arose at sea. The terried sailors prayed to their gods and

threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, Jonah was sleeping, and the sailors suspected that

their problem had something to do with him. After admitting

his disobedience, Jonah told them that they should throw him

overboard and that God would then stop the storm. Once Jonah

had been thrown into the sea, the storm ceased, but God hadn’t

forgotten about poor Jonah and sent a big sh to swallow him. …

You can read the rest of this exciting story in your Bible in the book

of Jonah.
