The prophecy of Jonah

John 21:15 tells us that the name of Peters father was John or Jonah. So Peter is the son of Jonah. In Acts 9:36 - 10:23 Peter is in Joppa, just as Jonah had been (1:3). God had called Jonah to preach to people who were not Jews. This is just what Peter has to do in Acts 10.
Jesus speaks about Jonah in Matthew 12:39-41.

He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.

"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
Jesus speaks about Jonah also in Luke 11:29-32

The Sign of Jonah
As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

Well, u know nobody's perfect. God could have made us like robots so that we would not sin, but God is so merciful he gave us our own free will.

But I see what your saying.

I wish I could just obey like the people of Nineveh did. Sometimes I wish I were just a robot so that I could not sin.
