Whale of a story.
The scale of Nineveh, as discovered by archeologists, is stunning.

Thanks for that very interesting link. I read some and scanned the rest. Your reference to its scale is certainly justified: the king’s palace alone had 160 million bricks.
Jonah’s cross-cultural protest of God’s concern for the Ninevites finds a parallel, I suggest, in the disciples’ antipathy toward the Gentiles. There was a lesson there for them if they’d had the wit to notice. And we have lessons there for us.
