Jonah 1:1-16
In the calling of Jonah to "arise, and go" we see a prophet unwilling to give the message of God to an enemy of Israel, the Ninevites. In this first chapter, we see an OT example of God's openness and equality of love to Gentiles—a pre-cursor (one of several found in Jonah) of the coming Savior. We are given a glimpse of some of the qualities and characteristics of YHWH—mainly compassion, faithfulness, and power/might.
