Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 3:1-10

Jonah 1-4 Jonah buried and risen a type of Christ. I. More than once in the course of our Lord's ministry, among different persons and for different objects, He makes use of the similitude of the prophet's burial and resurrection. When the Jews asked for a sign He refused it, (i) because it was presumptuous to ask it; (ii) because they were blind to actual signs already given and constantly existing before their eyes; (iii) because the very demand was a proof of deep ungodliness, and the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 3:10

John 3:10 I. In the last verse of the third chapter we come upon a difficulty which has exercised the faith and called forth the ingenuity of interpreters. The difficulty is this, there are passages in Holy Scripture which assert in the strongest way that God cannot repent, and that He never does. There are certain other passages (of which this is one) which assert, just as strongly, that He can repent, and that, in fact, He has often done so. II. If the question is put, "Why was not Nineveh... read more

DISCOURSE: 1201REPENTANCE OF THE NINEVITES [Note: A Fast Sermon.]John 3:8-10. Let man and beast be covered with sackcloth; and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way: and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jonah 3:1-10

Chapter 3So the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh ( Jonah 3:1-3 ),God brings us back so many times to the place of failure, and that is where we start again. I call it oftentimes back to zero. I wonder how many times God has brought me back to zero, back to that place of failure and then He says, "Okay." And there is where we start again. I can't... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jonah 3:1-10

Jonah 3:4 . Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. The LXX read “three days,” and they are followed by most of the Greek fathers. But three days is thought to be an error of the scribe, for the Hebrew, the Chaldaic, Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotian have forty days. Justin Martyr also, in his dialogue with Trypho the Jew, reads the same. read more

John 3:10And God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto them, God repentingThere are certain passages of holy Scripture which assert in the strongest way that God cannot repent, and that He never does.There are certain other passages which assert, just as strongly, and with as little qualification, that He can repent, and that, in fact, He has often done so. Here is an apparent contradiction. The ordinary method of interpretation applied to such texts is, to my mind,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 3:10

Jon 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not. Ver. 10. And God saw their works ] i.e. He noted and noticed them to others; or, he saw them, that is, he approved of them. Videre Dei, est approbare. Let God but see repentance as a rainbow appearing in our hearts and lives, and he will never drown us in destruction. But unless God sees turning, he sees no work in a fast,... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jonah 3:1-10

JONAH’S PREACHING AND NINEVEH’S REPENTANCE, Jonah 3:1-10. Jehovah repeats the command to Jonah, to preach to Nineveh (Jonah 3:1-2). This time Jonah obeys and delivers the message, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3:3-4). The preaching results in the conversion of king and people, who give every evidence of heartfelt repentance (Jonah 3:5-9); whereupon Jehovah withholds the judgment (Jonah 3:10). read more
