Did you ever?

They were Jonah's hated enemies. They were the enemies of God, the true and living God.

Jonah resisted the Word. He fled as far and as hard as he could in the opposite direction. In spite of his best efforts, he arrived at the place God wanted him to be in a manner that must have caused him some very serious nervous system damage.

Jonah finally had to tell his enemies that God was going to destroy them for their wickedness. Jonah had a message that caused repentance. Lo and behold, the enemies of God accepted the message and changed.

WOW!
