Jonah the prophet

[NumberX]

The book of the prophet Jonah is a small one but Jonah is a special prophet compared to others. In the N.T. Jesus referres to the prophet Jonah, starting at Matth. 12:39. I hope you enjoy reading here about Jonah.

Jonah's first prophecy was to Jerobeam (2 Ki. 14:25), Jerobeam did bad things in the eyes of the Lord (2 Ki. 14:24) and God spoke to him through Jonah that he would bring back an area of Israel. The words of the prophet Jonah should be that Israel would be punished, but without alternative an area was brought back.

In his second prophecy he had to proclaim the word of God that there would be death without an alternative (Jonah 3:4). He is the only one in this respect, others proclaim the word of God with an alternative. Even to Moses God tells him to say "if you listen to me then..." and "if you don't listen to me then...".

In his first prophecy his words were contradictionary in the sense of good and evil and in his second prophecy Jonah is shown that the word of God did not come true, because of the repentance God changed his prophetical words spoken by the prophet.

Jonah is special. Jonah is the son of Amitai (Jona 1:1) and Amitai comes from emeth and this means truth. Jonah is the son of truth, but especially in the second prophecy you wouldn't say that. This is why Jonah is also called a liar-prophet, he says things that don't come true.

If you like you can add BibleWheel references here, or maybe this info gives you inspiration to find new ones.

From another threads:

Gilgal wrote:
"You can associate jonah with noah's dove in genesis 8:8. noah was the10th from adam. and jonah is spoke 10".

I wrote:
Jona 1:1-3 in brief with translations of names:
Pigeon is the son of My Truth, Veracious and had to go to (probably) Home but he wanted to flee to Tarsis* and he was in He Shall be Beautiful.

Reading the Bible this way would be nice, but such a Bible does not exist. The Bible would be at least twice as thick :)

He Shall be Beautiful is a place in Judge with a port to the west to the sea, Pigeon wanted to sail away from Warrior of God. Pigeon is originally from Wine Press of Pit, Source (see 2 Kon. 14:25) and from there he descents to He Shall be Beautiful. ´My professor´ however calls it The winepress which is digged into the earth, so it is a place on earth that has been made ready to change grapes into wine. Grapes are the third fruit, the fruit of the third day.

Jonah is originally from Gath ha-chefer (2 Ki. 14:25) with value 360 (200-1 90-60-6-3) and the atbash value of both words is 696+360=1056. This is the year of the birth of Noach, the point where the 58 first appears.


* More then three translations possible I see in the book with names

There is indeed a close connection between the three missions of Dove (Pigeon) and the dove of Noach, and I found some other associations as well:

Dove:
1) The first mission of Dove is in 2 Ki. 14:25
Then he gets his own Bible book!
2) the second is the kind of bitter journey to the sea and the return (the three days and three nights in the big fish (http://www.biblewheel.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20394&postcount=5))
3) the third is to Nineveh (Home) and here he stays.

Dove of Noach:
1) the sending and return of the dove
Then the dove reached the new world!
2) the sending of the dove which returned with the leaf of the olive tree from the new world. The olive is a bitter fruit, the sixth fruit in the row of fruits (http://www.biblewheel.com/forum/showpost.php?p=22642&postcount=2).
3) the sending of the dove to the new world where he finds a home and stays.

And Mat. 12:40 refers to point 2 above and 12:41 to point 3.

When Noach sends the dove out of the 'tebah', 'tewah', which means in first place 'word', that means that at that phase there is something that can not be put in words, because it is not in the word, in the 'tebah'.

Tharshish. This is also info from the course I am reading again about Jonah (page 26-27 of 172), one of the most extraordinary I have read.

We see that one of the sons of Jawan is called Tharshish, his second son. And we read that Jonah wants to go to Tharshish when he wants to sail away from God. So Tharshish is not a geographical location on the globe, we are going to see how it is in the word, through which the name Tharshish will appear over and over on this globe too. Tharshish seems to be a place, a reality, so far away that Jonah can’t reach it, although he wants to go there. The word Tharshish, written in it’s full value, every letter fully enfolding, is 1656 (406-510-360-20-360). And 1656 is the moment the Mabul (flood) comes over man and world, the point of the end. We can say that when the man Noach reaches Tharshish, the doom comes. Therefore God says after the Mabul, that this never will happen again, man will not come to Tharshish again.

After the Mabul (flood) the ‘ages’ of the generations are being halved, compared with those before. And the 10 generations themselves too, the 10 to Noach and 5 to the Haflaga. And also the time of 1656 is being halved in two times 828 and this is the time of freedom out of the duality of Egypt, Mitzraim, to the promised land Kanaän, in it’s word valule also half of Mitzraim (Mitzraim is 380 and Kanaän is 190). The years 2448-2449-2488 are the years after the half of 1658.

The half of the way to Tharshish, to the 1656, we can already find in the concept ‘tewa’ (word). The word itself carries out this half, does return. Who knows the word, will hear the voice of return and will be brought back from Tharshish. This is why the full word value of ‘tewah’ is 828, the full word value is the same method as done with Tharshish. (406+412+10*). The time spent on the word culminates in revelation. Now everything gets his opponent (two halves).

Now you see why Jonah doesn’t reach Tharshish, it is because this is the moment the Mabul (flood) comes over man and world, the point of the end.

Jafeth, Jawan and Greek
We know the story of Jesus is written in Greek. Jonah is written as the female form of Jawan, written resp. as 10-6-50-5 and 10-6-50. Jawan is the fourth son of Jafeth, who gets the blessing of Noach, united with Shem. Jafeth means expand, enlarge, develop and also with the concept of beauty. Jafeth and jafeh (beauty) are written resp. as 10-80-400 and 10-80-5, where 400 and 5 are output letters which are not determine to the concept. Jafo (10-80-6-1) is the starting place where Jonah went to sea.

This principle of expanding is reflected in Jafeth in the Bible and on the globe in the Greek language and culture and knowledge and names like going with the Apollo to the moon. But by the Greek is also the return, Jafeth through the word of Noach who makes him and Shem (Name) one and by Jawan through the fact that the dove returns on the by God created call, just as Jonah gets called back from his journey to far away. For our personal return the whole N.T. came originally in Greek, you see it has to be that way.

Jawan and his four sons (Gen. 10:4) represent together 2200 (66+346+1210+470+108). And with the 22 letters the exile in the word is expressed. And the amount of letters, where these concepts of the sons of Jawan and Jawan himself is being expressed, is also 22 (5+5+4+5=19, 19+3=22). The going away from man from his origin is indeed an exile and presents itself also in the fact that the word here the form gives, captured in the tewah. And still this is something sweet, how bitter it may seem, the jonah at the tewah says so too.

Ain't it great? Maybe there is not much to discuss about, but you might find an error or like to add your findings. You can read some more here (http://www.biblewheel.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24397&postcount=2).


* The letter heh is written here as 5-5, as in the Shem-42, the method of full word value of 10-5-6-5 which expresses resp. 72, 63 and 42.

Relating Jonah to the Biblewheel, pattern look at:
Exodus 32 with Jonah (book 32);
2Samuel 11 (King David fasting) and the King of Assyria fasting.

Joppa was mentioned in Acts 10.

Jonah 1 and 3 have similarities. 2 and 4 have similarities.
