What comes to mind when you think about the Book of Jonah?
Just a story…humty dumpy
A fable-like Aesop … farmer and the snake
Is this an allegory – a type or a shadow – parable – House built on the sand or rock
Is it a dream
Have you read the book?
Can you really swallow it.
Or is it a whale of or story.
Or is it just to deep?
If you can get past Genesis 1 then you should be able to zoom through Jonah
Matthew ——jesus words
Summary of the book: So God tells the prophet Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach to the
people , instead he runs to Joppa found a ship to Tarshish . While on the ship God sent a
terrible storm and the crew threw Him overboard until a mighty fish swallowed him up . He
spent 3 days in the belly of the fish until it spit him up on the shores of Nineveh where he
ended up preaching to the people.
People have been arguing over whether it was a whale or a big fish for the last 3000 years
Four Runs
1. Running From God. Chapter 1
2. Running To God. Chapter 2
3. Running For God. Chapter 3
4. A Run in With God. Chapter 4
So I want to do my best at settling this age old argument once and for all!
When we search the original manuscripts the word for Kétos is used and it translates to Sea
Monster
And while people were arguing the point , Jesus was already making references to it
Matthew 12:40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF
THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth.
