"All things work together for good". God used Jonah for a reason: Out of all the prophets, Jonah had a problem with his enemies. The entire book points to the issue of his hatred & discrimination for Assyrians, which makes him a bad prophet. My bets are on that his call to Nineveh wasn't the first one he ran out on. Which means he wasn't 100% accurate.

Apostol2013....
A prophet doesn't "learn" to be a prophet, step by step, or by trial and error...
A prophet speaks exactly what God TELLS him/her to say. Nothing more, nothing less....
God speaks to my spirit almost every day, but the vast majority of what He tells me is for "MY" edification and walk with Him. Sometimes He tells me to keep watch when things are about to happen, but rarely any specifics, and I don't ask. And I DON'T go around telling everyone God speaks to me on a daily basis because that's between me and God. So if Jonny B. is a "prophet", let him prophesy and be done with it so we can all see for ourselves whether he is or isn't and we can put this little weekly "woe is me" mess to rest once and for all....

well one of the steps is perception what you need to see is sometimes the person may not be liberated or has not come to a complete knowledge of truth . and this is where it is needed so the prophet does give the message and thats it and this is whee it differs between the gift of prophecy and being an actual prophet but a novice needs to come to a complete knowledge of truth .so there is a learning process as most come to God as sinners there is a step process to perfection or as close as we can get to say it plainly
The prophets of the Old Testament were despised in their time. Later in Jesus time those same prophets were venerated.
The prophets of the last 2 millennia were despised in their time. Today they are venerated. The prophets of today are despised.
In a hundred years or so, they'll be venerated in their time.
