Introduction 1 2 3 4 Obadiah Micah
Introduction to Jonah
Jonah's history a picture
of that of the Jews
The prophet Jonah gives us
the opportunity of applying his history to many
sentiments that arise in the human heart in all ages. His
personal history—the history of a man who was
upright in the main, but who had not courage to follow
out the will of God boldly—is so intermingled with
his prophecy, as to make this individual application easy
and natural. Nevertheless the history of Jonah is that of
one who bears testimony on the part of God, rather than
that of a believer in his ordinary life. It is the
history of the human heart, when the testimony of God
towards the world has been committed to it, and that of
the sovereign and governmental dealings of God in
connection with the workings of that heart. It is on this
account that we find in the history of Jonah a picture of
the history of the Jews in this respect, and even in some
respects of that of the Messiah; only that the latter
entered into it in grace, and was always perfect in it. I
shall point out the leading features which the Spirit of
God has been pleased to develop in this narrative, deeply
interesting as it is in this aspect.
His prophecy
confined to the threart of Nineveh's destruction
It is evident that in this
prophecy the prophetic events are but the occasion, and,
as it were, the frame of the great principles that flow
from them; or rather the prophetic event. For the
prophecy is confined to the threat of the destruction of
Nineveh in forty days: a threat whose accomplishment was
averted by the repentance of that city. Jonah's history
forms the chief portion of the book.
