I cannot figure out what type of person the prophet Jonah was. When he decided to obey
God and preach that Nineveh will be destroyed in 40 days; the people changed their ways after listening to him. The king gave instructions for everybody to pray with no eating or drinking by man or beast. Everyone complied and there was great mourning throughout the land. When God saw that the people repented; He decided not to destroy the city of Nineveh. But Jonah wanted to see the city go up in flames and he got very angry when the people repented. Yes, Jonah got angry; he wanted to see the people die. What kind of guy was that? A preacher should be glad to get a positive response to his teaching. But Jonah didn’t. Jonah chapters 3 and 4.
