Jonah 4:1 – Jonah Accuses God of Evil

Jonah 4:1 – Jonah Accuses God of Evil

Jonah 4:1 - Jonah is angry at GodAfter Nineveh experiences a city-wide revival in response to his preaching, Jonah becomes angry at God in Jonah 4:1.

What do you think about that? Have you ever thought that he should have rejoiced instead?

Well, today, we are going to look a bit more at Jonah’s response, and come to understand that Jonah’s response is actually quite normal and natural. You and I might have had a similar response. Maybe we do.

The Text of Jonah 4:1

1This was evil to Jonah, greatly evil, and he became furious.

In this discussion of Jonah 4:1 we look at:

  • The response of Jonah to God’s deliverance of Nineveh
  • Why Jonah’s response actually makes sense to us
  • How Jonah’s response is similar to Cain’s

    Jonah’s reaction seems normal. His being asked to go preach in Nineveh is the equivalent of a Jewish person being asked to go preach to Nazi Germany during World War II. I think he later realized that he should have rejoiced, and that’s why he wrote his book.
