In Jonah 3 and 4 God again tells Jonah to go to Ninevah. Jonah calls the Ninevites to account. The Ninevites repented and God did not punish the people.

Jonah became angry that God withheld punishment. Jonah preferred to die rather than live knowing that his prophecy helped the Ninevites. God did not understand Jonah’s anger. Why shouldn’t the Lord have compassion on those who need to be saved?

We may not always understand why God does what He does. There may be those who have discovered God’s love whom we do not believe deserve it. That is none of our business. Unlike Jonah we should be happy that God has shown mercy on them just as He has sown mercy on us. None of us deserve God’s grace. All of us are blessed when God looks upon us with favor.

In Revelation 11, still before the seventh trumpet is sounded, two witnesses appear and prophesy. They will be killed but will be raised from the dead.  After an earthquake some are killed and the rest give glory to God.

The seventh angel sounds the trumpet and everyone in praise the establishment of God’s kingdom.
