Jonahs rebellion lead him to the bottom of the sea in the belly of a great fish. Anger will always lead us on a path down into torment and captivity. After having been disciplined by God to within an inch of his life, the word of the Lord comes again to Jonah in chapter 3; ... saying, Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you. So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD. Jonah 3:1-3 However, Jonahs trip to Nineveh was out of mere compliance rather than any conviction or burden. There has not been a change in Jonahs heart, and he had not dealt with the root issues that were feeding his anger. Stopping bad fruit requires dealing with the root.
