A Biblical account on Revival & Reformation #9 (Jonah) by Gideon Mpeni - a podcast by gideon macgovern

Prophets were set apart to God, but they were not sinless. Jonah illustrates this point perfectly, as his first response to the Lord’s mission to Nineveh was to flee by boat to Tarshish (Jonah 1:3). Nineveh was located at present-day Mosul, Iraq, and Tarshish could be another name for the port of Tarsseus in Spain or a name for any land on the shores of the Meditteranean Sea that is distant from Israel. Either way, the point is clear: God had commanded Jonah to go one way, and Jonah headed in the opposite direction.  He wanted nothing to do with Nineveh. Jonah 1:3 also says that the prophet was going “away from the presence of the LORD.”
