Chance,That was a really good letter.Yes, the US could be in a similar position as Nineveh.Will the US repent, as Nineveh did, when Jonah came and preached?Or will the US soon face something like the preaching of Nahum against Nineveh?Various sources consider that there was about 150 years between the Jonah and Nahum.Following Jonah's preaching came repentance.Following Nahum's preaching came doom.In the US, about 150 years ago, Moody returned from his preaching in the UK, to begin preaching in US cities, accompanied with Ira Sankey.There were many saved during that urban revival.Now, about 150 years later, is the US in the same position as Nineveh was, when Nahum preached to it?
btw - back in 1986, when I was working in Iraq, the English translation of their newspaper had an article about Jonah's tomb.Saddam Hussein was paying government money to work on Jonah's tomb.Meanwhile, back in the US, so many people had come to believe that Jonah was a myth.
