Jonah -The Arrival of Jonah in Nineveh Poster

Our print of Jonah is from the 72” x 84” painting called “The Arrival of Jonah at Nineveh, by award-winning artist Rosemarie Adcock. In the painting we see Jonah spilling out of the mouth of the great fish, onto a sandy shore. Nineveh was still a distance from this shoreline, so Jonah had to walk on foot until he completed his journey. Jonah was instructed by God to go to the great city and preach to the people, who were known to be ruthless and cruel. Because he didn’t want God to forgive them, Jonah refused to go to Nineveh, and instead paid the fare for a ship sailing in the other direction to Tarshish. During a deadly storm, Jonah knew he was the one endangering everyone on board the ship because he was running from God. Finally, the sailors threw Jonah overboard, and the Bible says the Lord appointed a great fish, which swallowed Jonah whole. Jonah remained in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights until the fish vomited him onto the shoreline where God had originally instructed him to go. So this time, he did what he was told to do, and all the people of Nineveh turned to God.
