As Jonah embarked at Joppa, a seaport on the Mediterranean, it
was probably either Tarsus in Cilicia, or rather Tartessus in
Spain, to which he intended to flee. When we reflect how such
a message would be received in the streets of London at this
day, we shall not wonder at the prophet's reluctance to
announce the destruction of the proud and idolatrous Nineveh.
