A PROPHEA OF VENGEANCE.
BY Rev Orrfy ~ Teukx

OF late years the majority of critics
have denied to the book of Jonah Il
place among the historical books OF
the Bible. But il must be remembered
that Jesus, the highest critic, explicit
~ asserted the personal existence. mi
raculous fate and prophetical office Of
Jonah. And with great body of
Christians this is sufficient TO settle the
matter.
But the vital question is dealing
with this fragment of early literature
il to discover what was the purpose
Of its author in writing such book
1t should be noted that Jonah lived
at time when his nation was taking
revenge upon one Of her great enc
mics. Jonah is. therefore, a prophet
OF vengeance.
To an alien nation Jonah was sent.
He preached vengeance and destruc-
ton. The people listened. repented
and were pardoned and spared. The
plain purpose is this: God was t~ach-
az Jonah and his people that to the
gentiles also was granted repentance
unto life, The book teaches the in
finite love of God in contrast TO the
narrow selfishness of man.
