In 450B.C., the Jewish people found themselves
to be corrupted by their mixing with other races that pushed their
pagan worship on them, and who led the Jews to disregard marriage vows. With
the situation becoming altogether corrupt, the Jews resolved to break off all their
relations with foreigners.
It worked, and the Jews were
able to reclaim their high moral standards.
The trouble was, it worked
too well, with the Jews forgetting that the people of other races were also
God's children.
God then inspired a Jewish
writer to compose this humorous story of Jonah who went too far in hating
Foreigners.
Even in wartime we must
regard the ordinary people of hostile countries as God's children wo have been
led astray,
