“Tell it to Moses”
~ ~ ~
Nineveh believed, the people in Moses time did not.
True, Jonah journeyed to Ninevah, they repented, and their immenant destruction was averted.
But a century later, the prophet Nahum described Ninevah as a city being "full of lies and robbery", and he preached of their impending destruction. The generation that heard Jonah may have repented, but their children did not, earning God's judgment anew. Shortly after Nahum's prophecies, Ninevah was completely destroyed and left deserted. Was Jonah's prophecy really wrong?
