"Greetings in the Name of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ for 17 April 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Blogs Title: "The People In Nineveh Believe"
Today's Blogs Scripture Reading: Jonah 3:1-10
Today's Blogs Key Verse: Jonah 3:10 "Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way, and God relented from the disaster that He said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it."
Jonah's new commission in verse 1, was essentially that same as the one that he had received in 1:1-2. In contrast to 1:3, Jonah obeyed the command of the Lord the second time and made the journey to Nineveh.
The city wall of Nineveh had a circumference of about 8 miles, which indicates Nineveh was an exceeding large city for those times. The reference to "three day" in verse 3, likely refers to the larger administrative district of Nineveh made up of several cities, with a circumference of about 55 miles.
Jonah in verse 4, proclaimed that they were only "forty days' before the destruction of Nineveh. Both the announcement and the specified delay show God's Mercy. It was this Mercy that bothered Jonah.
The term used for God in verse 5 is the general term for deity. In contrast the sailors who threw Jonah into the ocean in chapter 1, claimed faith in the Lord, using the personal, covenant, name for God.
The reversal of the threat to destroy Nineveh depended solely on the grace and mercy of the Lord. At times, the announced judgment of God is "not" His real intent. Such announcements usually include offers of mercy and forgiveness. The people of Nineveh, in verse 10, repented and moved the Lord to extend Grace and Mercy to them.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
Jesus Reigns, and He Is, Has Been, and ALWAYS Will Be, in Complete and Total Control. May God's Love and Grace be with you all!!!
Your Sister in Christ,
