The Bible does not give exact dates. However, we know from 2 Kings that Jonah preached during the time of King Jeroboam II of Israel, who reigned from 786-746 BCE.

What was the mission that God gave Jonah to do?

To go to Nineveh and tell them that they were to be destroyed because of their ungodly acts. Nineveh was the main city of the Assyrian Empire, who were known for their harsh and barbaric ways. For instance, they would play a type of sport with the heads of their enemies. Jonah's fear of them was a natural human reaction but also one that lacked faith in God. Hence the rest of the story is Jonah running away from the assignment and then being taught faith, compassion, and humility by God. At the end, he fulfilled the mission.

What was Jonah's dilemma in the Bible story of Jonah and the big fish?

Jonah had a few dilemas...Jonah was God's prophet when God asked him to go to the city of Nineveh. The people in that city were very wicked and God asked Jonah to warn them that if they didn't change, they'd be destroyed.First Dilema: Jonah did not want to go because the people in Nineveh had such a brutal reputation, so fearfully he got on a boat going in the opposite direction.Now, because Jonah was afraid, and did not obey God's command, God caused a big storm to hit the boat Jonah was on, nearly sinking it. (Jonah 1:1-3)Second Dilema: The sailors were afraid, so Jonah made the decision to jump into the ocean so the boat would not be destroyed. (Jonah 1:4-16)When he did, he was swallowed by a big fish, which brought him to Nineveh. (Jonah 1:17-2:10) Once at Nineveh, Jonah preached to the town and gave them warning, and to his surprise, they LISTENED. (Jonah 3:1-4:5)Third Dilema: Jonah was upset because, though he had preached their distruction, and in his opinion they deserved to die for their wickedness, God chose to forgive them. God used the bottle gord tree as an illustration and Jonah had to adjust his attitude.(Jonah 4:5-11)

What is the Moral of Jonah and the big fish?

God gives second chances. Short version of the story: The story is about Jonah being told by God to go to Nineveh, which, at the time, was the enemy of the Israelites (as Jews should properly be called). Jonah was an Israelite, and he thought that if he went, he would be killed. So instead, he set sail for Tarsus. God sent up a storm while he was on the way, and Jonah was thrown into the ocean. A big fish swallowed him up, and he stayed in its belly for 3 days and nights. He prayed for that whole time, and God commanded the fish to spit him up. Jonah went on to Nineveh to preach, and they repented. Because they repented, God didn't destroy the town.
