Thank you to all of our generous supporters!
How does free will fit into this story ? If he ran from gods will no need for a storm or fish.
amazing video bro! God bless you
That's good! Never thought of it this way. Very appropriate for the times we are in!
This would be cool in the othe style, animated fish like in Job
God: Jonah got to Ninevah
Jonah:…*runs away*
God: sends fish to eat him
Jonah: ok after this i'll listen to you
God: Jonah, go to Ninevah! Now!
lol XD
This garbage ass channel
Yes, yes thank you Lord for having mercy for I am an Assyrian and my direct bloodline leads to Ninevehites…Jesus is God and I'll die confessing just that!
I really love your videos and the ideas you pull out of the Bible–thank you! I will say, however, that I disagree about Jonah playing a wicked man. These stories, as far as they are translated correctly, are real and true. I know that God calls His prophets and gives them that power to do divine things under their divine callings. Although Jonah wasn't perfect (clearly) none of the prophets are, and that's also part of what we learn throughout the scriptures. Thank you again for the work you are doing, though. I really love it!
Wow! That was beautifully explained. Thank you.
How do I OVER like a video… I lololololololololove this
I am going to be doing a series on Jonah I am so happy that the Bible project is here to help us grasp the Bible like this
Awesome video. I have heard of the story of Jonah so many times throughout my life. But I didn't realise that the main message was 'God loves your enemies'. I always just thought the lesson was 'don't disobey God if He gives you a task'.
True
Humans are hypocrites. Only Jesus Christ isn't like Jonah. Remember HATE is stronger than love in this world. REMEMBER THAT.
This video ignites a new love for this book. Great work.
So after all these comments He or She who reads this believes in the power of God! This narrator explains things so open like everything was a joke! IF I HAVE SEEN THINGS THAT ARE SUPERNATURAL…why o why is it this not taken so serious! OR laterally!
The narrator's got that knowing tone of voice that I immediately question.
I do not believe in god, but i am reading the entire bible due to it being a very interesting book in human history! I respect you all 🙂 may God be with you!

This has been eye opening for me. Thank you for condescending these interesting stories and exposing them to me in a way I had never been exposed to these things before. I feel compelled to read and learn from the bible first hand.
You can't seriously believe he was in the belly of a big fish! It's pure allegory!
Yo! I'm laughing. It makes sense. I know that God is love and rich in mercy.
Sometimes, I get harsh on things on things I should be more gentle with b/c I FEEL like the other person(s) will fail to change, unknowing that God can change their heart just as He changed mine.
I don’t know why, but I find it extremely difficult to understand the book of Jonah
What a brilliant piece of explanation and illustration. Thank you!
Funny!
I watch first your video before starting a book from the bible. So i could understand more what I am reading. Thanks so much and may the Lord bless you all.
This is amazing! But I'm curious, where in the Bible do you see mention of cows repenting or of Jonah prophesying God's favor with King Jeroboam. I can't find mention of either of those.
How do you conclude Jonah hates God?
Jonah hated God's decision to spare Nineveh, true.
I love the veggie tales Jonah movie
Excellent !
from France
Jonah didn't hate God & he wasn't wicked. If he was wicked he wouldn't have offered himself to die to spare the sailors & he wouldn't have described God as gracious & compassionate if he hated Him. Jonah was deeply nationalist & angry at the injustices of Nineveh towards Jews. But God is God to everyone, not just those we like or hate.
Also, Jonah's prophecy to Jeroboam was genuinely from God because He was still showing patience to Israel. Amos' later prophecy was because the time of their judgement had finally come.
Thank you❤️
The world needs to REPENT of unbelief – Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven!!! Please read John 14:6.
Jonah never hated God.
you guys explain so much in these videos its way easier to understand, my little brothers love them!!! I watch a lot of your videos and the art is amazing^U^
The central thought of the book of Jonah is that God cared for and saved even the most evil Gentiles in His pity on men and cattle.
G. The Revelation concerning Christ
In the book of Jonah, the revelation concerning Christ is in Jonah’s being a type of Christ.
1. In Jonah’sTypifying Christ
Preaching the Gospel of Peace to the Gentiles
Christ is revealed in Jonah’s typifying Christ preaching the gospel of peace to the Gentiles (3:2; Matt. 12:41). Jonah was a prophet who turned from Israel to the Gentiles. In this he was a type of Christ, who turned from Israel to the Gentiles (Luke 4:25-27; Matt. 21:43).
that lucky jonah. he can talk to God , tantrums etc.
God should not have "enemies". He also should not have a chosen people.
Why would a being who claims to be the source love and knowledge, have any animosity towards anyone?
This story is further proof of the bloated myths that have been spread by religions. Dissect your beliefs and put them up to the light. Ask real questions about the nature and actions that are taken by an all-loving all-powerful being, and see if the story contained here makes any sense.
I’m not okay with God loving my enemies ( people who hurt me) I need help. I don’t know how to stop feeling this way.
WOW! These are points that I have NEVER been presented with or thought about myself. Thank you very mcuh for this! I pray that i will always have the heart of God, and never be angry with God that he loves my enemies.
God bless you for this work
Yo I would never dare say to God some of the things the past prophets said.
They got some guts I must say.
I could never.
Feel this way about democrats.
He dos not hate God. Jews did not like gentiles that is why he did not to go
I think this story applies to all of us, to a greater or lesser degree, we are all human beings, capable of being skewed about something, or someone, quite often because of our silly and sinful beliefs! Well done indeed again!
