Testament: The Bible in Animation - The Book of Jonah (Chapters 1-4 KJV Narrated) Belly of the Beast

The gentle humor of this wonderful tale of the bad-tempered prophet is given full reign here. Jonah's flat refusal to preach the word of the Lord to the people of the wicked city of Nineveh leads to his upsetting an entire boat full of sailors, and being unceremoniously heaved overboard to be swallowed by a great fish. Even after accomplishing his task, Jonah remains as grumpy as ever, but God's patience leads Jonah to understand the meaning of mercy.

Everyone is created by the Lord God. The Lord Jesus died on the cross to atone for all the sins of all His people. He wants us all to come to repentance. Just like the Lord Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we should not only love lost people, but look for them, and bring them to Him.
The sailors came to fear God (Jonah 1:14) and the Ninevite people and their king did repent and turn from their evil ways. (Jonah 3:10), and God withheld judgment. When Nineveh did return, many years later, to their wickedness and violence, God did punish them as He had warned through Jonah, Nahum (Nahum 3:7) and Zephaniah (Zephaniah 2:13) in the year 612 BC. The invading Medes, Babylonians and Scythians destroyed the city and its people.
God sees lost people, to whom He longs to be gracious, merciful, and kind. (Jonah 4:2). But, when we ignore and flaunt His mercy, He sets a limit which He will not go beyond. On which side of God's mercy are you? The choice is yours today.

How many of us, tell God no... how many souls did we leave to the wiles of the wicked one.

At the end of this animation, Jonah was thanked by children of Nineveh, and this was a great solace and reward for him. But the original Book of Jonah ended suddenly without such description, and my impression about the Book of Jonah is very different from this animation. Jonah was a recalcitrant prophet who refused to obey God`s command. He followed his own belief rather than God`s authority. So Jonah is often underrated and caricatured y Christians. However Jonah jumped overboard voluntarily in order to save innocent pagan crew. He took responsibility for critical situation which was caused by his own decision. On the other hand, Abraham followed God`s command blindly and attempted to sacrifice his son Isaac. I wonder which man is worthy of respect in the secular world.

I own the art for Jonah it 350 years old

[nerdoftheword]

It's clever that they used a dove to depict God since Jonah's name means "dove."

[kingragu]

Love the truth and I'm the first to comment and highly recommend it!

[shadow_master]

THATS SO UNFAIR!!!! God created Free Will for a reason, it was Jonah’s choice to be a prophet if he wanted to

I wouldn't allow my future children to watch this. The soft-core pornographic imagery in the first 30 seconds of the statue and two women in immodest clothing is enough to discern by. May as well be Disney. Psalm 101:3
