He did not want to go because he hated the Assyrians who were killing his countrymen.
He wanted God to judge and destroy them.
God had other plans....
I don't have the full bible in my head but I do remember promises so I've just recalled it. Here you go oh and btw I quoted the right message without doing a search.

But here's the search for you

The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish

he was scared to go plain and simple
A swing and a miss......

Jon 4:5
So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. (aka hoping to see its utter destruction in fire from heaven)


Jon 4:9
And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
Jon 4:10
Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Jon 4:11
And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

there's two temples

One of them Solomons who had seven hundred wives

Second one called the house of thiefs By Jesus.

Also owned by king Herod who wanted Jesus dead

So do they sound like the lords temple
Have you ever just read through the book of Hebrews brother the tabernacles and priesthoods and testaments are a major part of the subject matter it might Interest you

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8:1-2, 4-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

….Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:1, 6-12, 15-19, 21-28‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Kind words brother. Thanks. In honor of all the circling going on, I'm circling them back to you

there's been hundreds of temples destroyed in the middle east lately
Can you not confess that the temple in Jerusalem that Jesus chased the money changers out of was the temple of God ?
By the account of the bible it was a person from iraq who brought the word of God to the Jews.

Then it's possible those Iraq people split from the Jews for worshiping the beast.
Be specific. What person from Iraq? And what bible verse refers to him.

And what beast are you referring to ? And what bible passage are you referring to ?

But I consider the true temple to be the tabernacle that one was truly true 😊

The blood has been shed brother it's to late to go back, we must move forward.

the tabernacles and priesthoods and testaments
All of the OT regalia and rituals forcibly impose one seminal idea:

The absolutely abject non-negotiable specificity of Gods plan of salvation.

Balking at the sign of the covenant of grace thru faith aka circumcision? almost dead (Moses Exodus 4).
Wrong formula for incense? Dead (Nadab and Abihu).
Wrong person vestments or procedure going into the Holy of Holies? Dead.
Wrong procedure to carry the Ark? Dead. (Uzzah).

Mathew 21 Jesus called the temple of God a house of thiefs
It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it ‘a den of robbers

Genesis 11
Abraham was born in modern day Iraq


And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Abraham gave the word to the Jews 😊


Happy happy happy
