While you are turning to Jonah, let me provide you with a little historical background. The events of Jonah take place approximately between 800-750 BC. In secular history, some speculate Homer may have been writing or had just completed the Iliad and Odyssey. The first Greek Olympics were established and Rome was founded and ruled by the legendary Romulus.

In Biblical History, Jonah is the first prophet to arrive approximately 50-100 years after Elisha and Elijah. He is alive during the ministries of Amos and Hosea and dies shortly before Isaiah arrives on the scene. He appears to be a successful prophet. Did you know he is mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25 (NASB95) — 25 He (Jeraboam II) restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which He spoke through His servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

Now when I said “Book of Jonah”, what is the first image that appears in your mind? The Whale, some kind of really big fish? Jonah and the whale is one of the most memorable scenes in the Bible. Yet, this big fish and Jonah are not the most important characters in the story.

1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

4 The Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up. 5 Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep.
