This wondrous grace of God culminates in the One who fulfilled the sign of Jonah and accomplished salvation for all who acknowledge their unworthiness, repent of their sin, and believe in Him. Thus, the book of Jonah points to the work of Christ and displays the heart of God to seek and save the lost.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn a sequel to the story, over a hundred years after Jonah preached to Nineveh, God raised up Nahum to pronounce judgment on the Ninevites. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhile the Ninevites in Jonah's day repented and received mercy, later generations returned to their wicked ways and became objects of God's wrath.
