"The story of Jonah and the whale is too important to be left as just a children's story. There are lots of life lessons in the Book of Jonah for children and adults. Jonah's story teaches us about obedience, willingness of spirit, gratitude, compassion and God's patience and mercy.
Jonah was a prophet from Galilee and his story takes place somewhere between 780 B.C and 760 B.C. During this period of history, Assyria was a powerful, evil nation and Israel's most dreaded enemy. The Lord spoke to Jonah and told him to go to Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, and preach to the Ninevites. (Jonah 1:2) Jonah was supposed to warn the Ninevites to repent or suffer the consequences of their wickedness. "
