“Jonah’s prophecy didn’t come true.”
It wasn’t Jonah’s prophecy. It was God’s word to Ninevah; God just didn’t let Jonah in on the repentance condition. The reason for that could be seen in Jonah’s reaction when Ninevah did repent. He was entrusted with as much of God’s plan as God thought he was capable of faithfully carrying out; and even then, Jonah almost failed.
Are you Jonah’s press secretary?
Hmmm... I think the entire IHOP/NAR movement counts upon your interpretation of Jonah...
so I have to be a Berean about it...
God would never give a prophetic word without giving the conditions of that word at the time of the prophecy.
Otherwise, God would be a trickster.
IF my people will humble themselves...
THEN I will heal their land etc..
I don’t know enough about the Jonah word to discuss it but the condition of repentance had to be implied somewhere, somehow. Ninevah’s king immediately repents after hearing the word.
These lying prophets of the NAR always give prophecies that don’t come true — Bob Jones has predicted California falling into the ocean in the 1990’s — but when it didn’t happen, he used the ‘Oh the people repented” excuse.
This is lame and satanic, not the goodness of God.
