The City:Part 2 (Nineveh)

The wickedness of Nineveh was legendary in biblical times. So Jonah was understandably hesitant to preach repentance to them. As one commentator pointed out, "It would be like asking a Jew to preach to Berlin at the height of Hitler's power.  As we all know, Jonah eventually did preach to Nineveh and with great success. But in this picture he is shown as an almost insignificant figure.
