Tarshish . 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.
