It's not often when the capital of the world's largest/strongest empire believes God and repents in sackcloth and ashes in response to the word of the Lord....yet this is what happened when the king of Nineveh proclaimed that everyone should cry out to God for mercy, and thus did the city of 120,000.
But I am curious -- is there any way of knowing what ever happened as a result of this experience Nineveh had? Did many become worshipers of the true God? Did it influence the Assyrian empire? Or was this short-lived as it seems it was a king-led repentance?
