Pope Shenouda III
Jonah
Jonah now goes to Nineveh
God gave Jonah the same command as before: "Arise, go to Nineveh.. " And this time Jonah did not flee from the presence of the Lord, but "arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord".
The command was fulfilled in quietness: God did not reproach nor did Jonah object. This matter may need us to pause and contemplate.
