LOL, Judy. Jonah was
coerced? He didn't have to? In the belly of some fish
that just mistook him for a morsel of food.
If he was going to live, he had to "repent."
And just how sincere was this "repentance" you speak of.
If I remember correctly Jonah 'fessed up' to
the sailors and volunteered to be thrown overboard. He could have made them
all
suffer along with him or he could have
drowned. In the belly of the fish he came to the realization that "those
who are taken in by lying vanities forsake
their own mercy" (something some on TT are still ignorant of) and he
cried to God for mercy.
He was pissed that the enemy listened to his
correction. This event was not about Jonah -- it was about
Nineveh.
God was going to use Jonah NO MATTER
WHAT.
Like God is hard
up and has noone else to replace the errant
prophet?
Kind of like he uses you, my dear. JD
