Jonah is one of those characters that jump out of the Bible.  He is not the type of person you would expect to feature as a Biblical prophet.  In a sense he is an “anti-prophet” who thinks he can run away from God.  He just doesn’t want any part of giving his “enemies” a chance at change and redemption.

There are profound lessons to be learned from Jonah, particularly in this time of prejudice, division and hate speech.
