Prophet Jonah
The Prophet Jonah lived in the 8th century b.c.
Jonah preached to the people of Nineveh, and was so successful that not only did the king repent in sackcloth and ashes, but he ordered all his people to fast, and not just the people – even the cattle, in order to turn God from His righteous chastisement of the great city.
God did spare Nineveh.
Now that’s great preaching.
