WHAT
IDOLS DID THE NINEVITES WORSHIP?
Nineveh was a center of worship for Ishtar, a goddess of
war and sexuality. This makes sense when one considers the fact that the
Assyrians were fierce and vicious warriors. They worshipped the fish god Dagon
and his female counterpart, Nanshe. It was no mistake that God had a giant fish
spit Jonah out on the shore. That part of his experience probably helped to get
the attention of people who worshipped a god that was supposed to be part man
and part fish!
