Nineveh was a sprawling city known for its pagan practices and was often seen as hostile to God. Jonah, a prophet with nationalistic views, was reluctant to engage with the foreign inhabitants of Nineveh.
When God commands Jonah to deliver a message of repentance to Nineveh, he initially resists. Escaping his divine mission, Jonah boards a ship, only to be thrown into the sea and swallowed by a giant fish. Inside the fish, Jonah prays for deliverance, and he is subsequently released onto dry land.
Given a second chance by God, Jonah finally obeys. He travels to the heart of the Assyrian Empire and boldly declares that Nineveh will be destroyed in forty days unless its people repent.
