From what we covered today, what do you think are some reasons why Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh?
Jot down any reasons that occur to you. As we progress through our study, other reasons may come to mind.
Some things to think about:
What was the relationship between Israel and Assyria?
When God instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh, what reason did He give for sending him?
What do you think Jonah would want to happen to the Ninevites?
How is Jonah's message to the Ninevites similar to Amos' message to the Israelites?
In Amos' message, God mentioned sending a foreign nation against Israel. What foreign nation do you think He had in mind?
Is it possible that Jonah would have heard Amos' prophecies? If so, how might that affect his attitude toward the Ninevites?
