Holy we are back its time for you to tell us a new story from the bible
remember of course I do how can I forget so today I have decided
to tell you the story about what happened when Jonah went to Nineveh to
preach God's message that sounds quite interesting begin with the story holy
alright so God once again sent Jonah to Nineveh
to deliver his message the moment the fish spit him out Jonah obeyed God this
time and ran to Nineveh the city of Nineveh was so huge that it took three
days for Jonah to see all of it as Jonah entered the city he shouted forty days
from now Nineveh will be destroyed the people of Nineveh was so scared they
believed his message every single person living in Nineveh
from the richest to the poorest fasted and wore sackcloth to show their sorrow
even the King stepped down from his throne took off his royal robe and wore
a sack cloth he issued a decree in all Nineveh that no living being including
animals should eat or drink anything everyone must turn away from evil ways
stop violence wear sackcloth and pray so that God may have pity on them and not
destroy them when God saw that the people were turning away from the evil
ways and starting to follow him he had mercy on them and did not destroy the
city this made Jonah very very angry he
shouted I knew you would do something like this and that's why I ran away the
first time you are so loving and compassionate that I knew you would
forgive them kill me let me die what are you so angry about God asked Jonah Jonah
went outside the city of Nineveh and built a shelter where he could sit and
wait to see what happened to the city God made a plans go with big leaves so
that he could shave Jonah from the Sun Jonah was very grateful for the plant
but a few days later God made a worm in the plant which ate its stem from inside
finally killing it Jonah did not have any shade from the
scorching Sun anymore he was so miserable he prayed to God to kill him
God asked Jonah is it right for you to be angry because the plant died yes
angry enough to die Jonah shouted God said you feel bad for the plant even
though you did nothing to make it cool plants have short lives but there are
almost a hundred and twenty thousand people living in the city of Nineveh who
know nothing about me shouldn't I feel sorry for them that was
a good way God used to make Jonah understand don't you think yes it was
That was a wonderful starry holy so what is the question um how many people lived in the
city of Nineveh
I know
A hundred and twenty thousand that absolutely correct well done freckles I hope you like the
story too stay tuned for more stories from the Bible until next time
