Jonah - Nahum: Inverse Relationship of the Message from God

*Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it....
Jonah 3:2
*For while they be folden together as thorns,
and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Nahum 1:10

"Two of the Prophets had to do with Nineveh:
Jonah, about 785 B.C.,
and Nahum, about 630 B.C.;
about 150 years apart.

Jonah’s was a message of Mercy;
Nahum’s, a message of Doom.

Together they illustrate God’s way of dealing with individuals: *prolonging the day of grace,
*but in the end, punishment for sins."
