-- Jeffrey C. Evans --
 
I. Introduction
a. We see any number of rivalries (both good and bad) in our world: sports teams, countries, churches, and so forth.
b. In some ways, Jonah being sent to Ninevah is like an American president going to Tehran—he’s probably not going to get a good hearing and probably would consider God to be “on our side.” But, of course, God is bigger than this kind of thinking, and He loves to upset our narrow little stereotypes about His work and will in His world.
