Jonah 3

Jonah Goes to Nineveh

3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”

3 Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.

6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles:

Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”

10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

An Apocryphal Story From My Childhood:

The following is a totally apocryphal story, told to me by my Mother, with no documentation...only her memory, but here goes:

Mom was born in 1926 and grew up in Dorchester, which was actually part of the City of Boston. It had some lovely Victorian Homes (which now sell for a lot of money), an actual Ocean Beach (named after an obscure island in the South Pacific which would be relatively unknown till WW2), and a main boulevard that went all the way from Downtown Boston to the small range of rolling hills just outside the City in Milton (Blue Hill Avenue). In spite of these incredible "perks", most of Dorchester during the Great Depression was populated by the poor, who lived in iconic "Three-Deckers" which could house several families on one small lot of land. Dorchester back then could almost be equally divided between two ethnic groups, The Irish and European Jews. It was not unusual to see an Irish Pub abutting a Kosher Meat Market, or a massive Granite Synagogue across the street from a massive Granite Romanesque or Gothic-Style Catholic Church. When asked where one lived in Dorchester, the prevailing question was "What Parrish?"

People got along pretty well, and patronized each others' business. The G & G Deli (Jewish), for example was a favorite hangout for James Michael Curley (Irish Politician) and was a political arena at times. Years later, a mural of the G & G Deli was painted on the inside walls of a large Jewish Nursing Care facility in Boston, and I got permission from the artist to picture it on the album cover of my first CD, "BLUE HILL AVENUE". Anyway, enough of the set-up. Here's the story as my Mom presented it to me.

Because of the nearly equal proportions of Jewish and Irish Catholic students in the Dorchester Schools, the School Committee invited leaders from both religions to come to a meeting to discuss one extra day off from school for their most sacred holiday. Passover was a whole week long, and the High Holy Days included the Ten Days of Awe and a Week of Sukkot. Meanwhile, Christmas Vacation and Spring Break took care of most of the Christian Holidays. There was some contention back and forth, but it was finally decided that Good Friday would be a day off, and Yom Kippur would be the analogous Jewish Holiday. Because of this compromise, Jewish shops on Blue Hill Avenue often would close down on Good Friday between noon and 3:00PM. In return the Irish pubs closed on Yom Kippur for most of the day.

This kind of cooperation and respect is SO UNUSUAL in our current society, that it almost seems like a fabrication. Mom is no longer with us, so who knows? But it's a lovely story, anyway, and shows the REAL spirit of the Melting Pot that once was America. It is not "Diversity" that is our strength, but Unity and Respect.

During the 1960s and 70s, Dorchester got a bad reputation. As one demographic moved out, other demographics moved in. The area now became what is known as "The Hood".

Nevertheless, I had lots of gigs in Dorchester, and never had a problem. Now, like every other community with easy access to Boston, it's become gentrified and EXTREMELY expensive. So it is with cities.

Nineveh had a very bad reputation, and Jonah didn't want to take the "gig" God was assigning him. Perhaps he figured that Nineveh was so wicked that no amount of preaching would make a difference. That attitude was totally wrong, as Jonah was doubting the Power of God.

We'll see tomorrow where this leads!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

Psalm 126

A Song of Ascents.

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,*
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
‘The Lord has done great things for them.’
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
and we rejoiced.

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5 May those who sow in tears
reap with shouts of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
carrying their sheaves.
