In the days of king Jeroboam the son of Joash, 10th Century BC, a prophet name Jonah was sent by the God of Israel on a mission to call the gentiles of Nineveh to repentance. A millennium later, under the rule of the Roman Empire, a Son of Jonah was sent by the Lord on a mission to call a gentile from Caesarea to repentance and faith in the God of Israel. This article portraits the similarities between Simon-Peter and Jonah, as they are manifested in the book of Jonah and in Acts 10-11. The parallels between them reveal how the plan of God, to bless all the families of the earth through His chosen people, was not a new idea presented in the NT but a Biblical theme which was revealed beginning in Genesis (see God’s promise to Abraham in Gen.12:3; and Peter’s plead to the people of Israel in Acts 3:25)
