Prophet Jonah

After his deliverance from the sea monster, the Prophet Jonah did as God had asked. The king of Nineveh, believing Jonah to be a messenger from the Lord and having heard of his miraculous escape from the whale, ordered a general fast for his people and averted the threatened judgment by god. But the Prophet Jonah, not from personal but national feelings, grudged the mercy shown to a heathen nation by God. Jonah was therefore taught the significant lesson of the "gourd," meant to teach the prophet the error of selfishness. Afterwards Jonah became a true teacher and leading prophet in his own land of Israel and a chief counsellor of the great king, Jeroboam II.
