Sometimes it takes a second chance to figure it out and to truly listen to what God is telling us. Even though we maybe don't like the person or people, just a Jonah didn't like the people of Nineveh. Most of the time it's the tough road is the one we are called walk, it's not easy but when challenges come our way that is when we grow. The easy way we don't really ever learn or grow. It was a very large city and like the analogy that Emma used that the whale was dark for Jonah and the city of Nineveh was dark with sin.
The time is always good for us and Jonah preached his message and the people listen to him. They wanted to change. Sometime people are better than we think but just haven't heard the news or had an ultimatum to change. It was just the people but the king as well. The whole city wanted to change and God has mercy on them. He shown favor and even though God wanted to destroy the city they changed and pleaded and intervened with God and changed his mind
