6/9/17 Nineveh in the news
June 9, 2017
Nineveh is in the news again. Mentioned 26 times in the Bible, it was once a large thriving wicked city. God called Jonah to go to them and preach against them. He did. They repented. Through the centuries Nineveh’s region has hosted Christians, Jews have fled, and varying Muslim sects have sometimes lived together there, somewhat peacefully. Not today. Isis is battling to the death to hold their place. One Muslim sect rises against another. After the conflict, healing will be long and hard.
There is one sure answer. Only Jesus. Luke 11: 30 Just as Jonah spoke, Jesus speaks today. He promises forgiveness and peace. Only with Jesus will Nineveh be peace filled today. It is not a current guarantee. An Only Jesus possibility.
