Interpreters who say that the 120,000 stands for all the people of Nineveh must take the phrase metaphorically and deny its plain meaning. Thank you for this and other excellent comments you make.

One clarification:You have meant 1,20,000 persons that cannot discern between their right hand & their left hand as children.It may be correct.There is another interpretation that there were 120000 people(including children;we can make note of "from the greatest of them to the least of them in 3:5) at that time in Nineveh who did not know about God & His law & His commandments.But anyway Nineveh was a big city with a great population. There is no doubt about it.Today there many cities with greater population than Nineveh.And most of the people are not saved.May the Lord give a rich harvest of souls."...supplications,prayers, intercessions,and giving of thanks,be made for all men."1 Tim.2:2 You have given good thoughts.Thank you.
