Nineveh represented the sin center of the world…

“Nineveh represented the sin center of the world. Everything godless happened there; by all accounts its people were perverse, sadistic, and evil. The very fact that Jonah was even sent to such a place reveals that God’s capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin.” quote by Tullian Tchividjian
