When asked by God to go preach judgment against the evil city of Nineveh, Jonah instead got on a boat and headed to Tarshish.<\/p>\n<p>The first question, then, was, \u201cWhy would Jonah go to Tarshish instead of obey God and preach judgment against his enemies, the Ninevites?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then Jonah\u2019s behavior got even stranger. It seemed that Jonah had a death wish. Through his words and actions in Jonah 1\u20132, Jonah made it quite clear that he wanted to die. He had a death wish.<\/p>\n<p>So the second question was \u201cWhy does Jonah want to die?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this study of Jonah 4:3, we finally discover the answer to both questions. And the answer is shocking. So shocking, in fact, most fail to see it.
