Jonah 4:1-2 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Jonah knew God. Jonah didn’t want to obey God and was forced into a situation in which Jonah knew for a certainty, the end result. God would be God, gracious and merciful, with or without him. So Jonah gets angry. This is how God answers Jonah’s anger.

Jonah 4:10-11 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

These are the last verses of the book of Jonah. There is no further conversation, no explanation of Jonah’s reaction to God’s answer, no view of Jonah ever coming to repent of his anger with the Lord. It is an unsettled issue.

Philippians 2:13-16 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Are you okay Jonah?
