0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:07.0	Congratulations! Congratulations. Today we finished our 18th book of the Bible, so let's talk about it.
0:18.0	Jonah was a prophet who lived during the time of King Jerry II, a king in the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
0:23.7	This is around 750 BC.
0:26.6	Some people regard this book as allegory and not as historical fact, but one important thing
0:31.5	to note, it's almost certainly not a parable, because one of the characteristics of parables is that they have anonymous characters, not real humans with names, whereas Jonah is mentioned by name in both the book of Second Kings, and by Christ
0:46.3	himself in Matthew 12. And on top of that, it's far more complex than any other

1:18.6	things with a healthy dose of humility and humor. It seems like he eventually learned not to take himself too seriously, hopefully, but that's definitely
1:27.3	not how he started out.
1:29.4	When God first commissions Jonah to go rebuke the Ninevites for their wicked ways, Jonah balks at the idea.
1:35.4	But we don't find out why until later.
1:37.8	The reason is, Jonah hates the Ninnovites.
1:40.8	He doesn't want them to repent, and he knows that if he goes and rebukes them that's what they'll do.
1:45.0	Is there someone like this for you?
1:48.0	Someone you hope doesn't get to experience God's mercy?
