Jonah had a few dilemas...
Jonah was God's prophet when God asked him to go to the city of Nineveh. The people in that city were very wicked and God asked Jonah to warn them that if they didn't change, they'd be destroyed.
First Dilema: Jonah did not want to go because the people in Nineveh had such a brutal reputation, so fearfully he got on a boat going in the opposite direction.
Now, because Jonah was afraid, and did not obey God's command, God caused a big storm to hit the boat Jonah was on, nearly sinking it. (Jonah 1:1-3)
Second Dilema: The sailors were afraid, so Jonah made the decision to jump into the ocean so the boat would not be destroyed. (Jonah 1:4-16)
When he did, he was swallowed by a big fish, which brought him to Nineveh. (Jonah 1:17-2:10) Once at Nineveh, Jonah preached to the town and gave them warning, and to his surprise, they LISTENED. (Jonah 3:1-4:5)
Third Dilema: Jonah was upset because, though he had preached their distruction, and in his opinion they deserved to die for their wickedness, God chose to forgive them. God used the bottle gord tree as an illustration and Jonah had to adjust his attitude.(Jonah 4:5-11)
