Jonah 1:1-2

The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”

From Background Notes [BN] for Aug 6th & 7th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Among the Jewish people, the book of Jonah is read in the synagogue every year on the Day of Atonement.



Its powerful message is a timely reminder of the Lord’s mercy to all who return to Him sincerely. More than a problematic tale about a man who was swallowed by a great fish, Jonah’s story is our story; not simply something that happened, but something that happens to us when we are confronted by the “word of the Lord” which keeps being given. [BN,1]
