Book 32 - Jonah

The book of Jonah is appreciated for its powerful message of God's mercy and compassion for all people, not just His covenant people. (*)

This 32nd book in the classic scriptures teaches of the importance of obedience, even when a person disagrees with God's will, and highlights God's relentless pursuit of individuals, even those who run from Him.

The book of Jonah serves as a mirror to our own tendencies toward anger and judgment, encouraging humility and gratitude for God's grace.

Christians believe that Jonah is also seen as a significant type of the gospel message, pointing to Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. --Even the LORD God visiting death so as to preach His Father's gospel of faith, repentance, obedience & that grace that leads all teachable beings to perfection (purity is power!) elsewhere.

(*) Examples: From Eve and Darius & Egypt to the new and most prominent eclipse associated with a solar eclipse @ Nineveh on June 15, 763 Before Christ (B.C) as recorded in the Assyrian Eponym Canon event a near-total eclipse visible over that Assyrian capital has become a critical anchor for ancient Mesopotamian and Biblical chronology proving - yet again - that ye 'olde bible is a much more geographical fact than fable?
