"It is a difficult thing to describe the nature and actions of God, and it is very easy to misunderstand them. Some people have this problem understanding the passage of Scripture in Jonah 3 where some translations say that God changed His mind and did not destroy Nineveh. If God knows all, how can He change His mind? God, in His justice, still
recognized the sin of Nineveh, but because of His mercy He accepted their repentance, as Jonah always knew He would. And so, the Scriptures describe the action of God relenting due to repentance as a change in attitude toward the city, a change in mind. In an interesting historical twist, some 150 years later, the prophet Nahum would again come to
Nineveh and preach the same message that Jonah spoke. However, this time Nineveh did not repent, and they were judged and destroyed. Jonah was an interesting man and his book gives us a brief look into his life as a reluctant, disobedient prophet. It’s a remarkable story showing the God of the Old Testament as a God of grace and mercy.
