Oh boy. 32 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.479 So today we are going to break Jonah down chapter 33 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.680 by chapter because there's only four and there's four of us, 34 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.280 so each one of us is going to read that 35 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.680 particular book of Jonah and then we are going to 36 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:51.039 have discussion afterwards. So Miss Julia, we're gonna start Hello, Hello, 37 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:54.520 I have. 38 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.360 I have the first chapter, and I have one of 39 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.080 those translation Bibles. I know some people aren't on with 40 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.719 the translation ones, but it was a gift from my sister, 41 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.520 so I have to use it. It skips all the 42 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.280 these and thows and the confusing stuff, so it's it's 43 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:15.840 pretty cool. 44 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:16.400 I like it. 45 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.960 But your Bible might say something a little bit different. 46 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.159 And that's that's okay because I'm using the New Living Translation. 47 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.759 So each one of us may have a different but 48 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:36.719 it's the same basic premise. Yeah, what do you use 49 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.400 from using them? 50 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.240 King James? 51 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:41.400 Yeah? 52 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.840 Should I I'll try to put on my narration voice 53 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.400 because I feel like this is one of the longer chapters. 54 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.360 So and then I'm really curious to see what you 55 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.280 guys think of everything. So I guess we'll just get going. Jonah, 56 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.159 it's a Jonah runs from the Lord and it the 57 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.280 first chapter says, the Lord gave this message to Jonah, 58 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.879 get up and go to the great city of Ninevah, 59 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.639 announce my judgment against it, because I have seen how 60 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.720 wicked its people are. But Jonah got up and went 61 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.160 in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. 62 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.000 He went down to the port of I don't even 63 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:35.600 know how to say this guy's Jobah Joppa, where he 64 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:42.160 found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket 65 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.360 and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord 66 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.480 by sailing to Tarshish, which I don't really know where 67 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:59.120 that is. It's probably some random okay, okay, And but 68 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.519 the Lord a powerful wind over the sea, causing a 69 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.040 violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart. Fearing 70 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.959 for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods 71 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.879 for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship. 72 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.279 But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in 73 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.240 the hold lazy, so the cap went down after him. 74 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.600 How can you sleep out a time like this, he shouted, 75 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.560 Get up and pray to your god. Maybe he will 76 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.319 pay attention to us and spare our lives. Then the 77 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.000 crew cast lots to see which one of them had 78 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.439 offended the gods and caused this awful storm to come 79 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.800 down on us. Who are you? What is your line 80 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.600 of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality? 81 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.439 Jonah answered, I am a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord, 82 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.360 the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land. 83 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.480 The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he 84 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.600 had already told them he was running away from the Lord. 85 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.160 Oh why did you do it? They groaned, And since 86 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.160 the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, 87 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.079 what should we do to you to stop this storm? 88 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.279 Throw me into the sea, Jonah said, and it will 89 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.160 become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is 90 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:34.040 all my fault. Instead, the sailors road even harder to 91 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.720 get the ship to land, but the stormy sea was 92 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.399 too violent for them and they couldn't make it. Then 93 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.279 they cried out to the Lord Jonah's god, Oh Lord, 94 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.279 they pleaded, don't make us die for this man's sin, 95 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.120 and don't hold us responsible for his death. Oh Lord, 96 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.519 you have sent this storm upon him for your own 97 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.120 good reasons. Then the sailors picked up and threw him 98 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.839 into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once. 99 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.279 The sailors were awestruck by the Lord's great power, and 100 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.759 they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him. Now, 101 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.040 the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah, 102 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.720 and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and 103 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:32.160 three nights. And that is all of part one. Chapter one, 104 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.399 I should say, is mine sounds like a kindergarten school 105 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:40.399 teacher wrote it. 106 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:42.040 This. 107 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.639 I sometimes I don't like the translation Bibles, you know, 108 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.240 these study Bibles, because I think they are I mean, 109 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.560 they make it more easy to understand. But I'm sure 110 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.240 you're the regular version of this story is a little different. 111 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.079 What I mean, what do you guys think of chapter one? 112 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.720 There's a lot in that. 113 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:04.439 Lot. 114 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:10.839 Yeah, and so my first thought on that was disobedience 115 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.800 first and foremost, because you know, God told him to 116 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.680 do one thing and he totally went the opposite direction, 117 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.600 and he's like, Nope, not going to do that, and 118 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.399 for people that are new to the Bible, that is 119 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.519 like a common theme with a lot of people. Moses 120 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.879 did it, Like a lot of people in the Bible 121 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.200 did it, you know, where God said go do this 122 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.919 and they're like, Nope, don't want to. And I think 123 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.919 that's pretty commonplace for people of our day. 124 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.399 Mm hmm. How many times have I been Jonah A lot? 125 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.559 I mean, minus the fish, I would say a lot, 126 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.799 same girl thing. Yeah, It's like it's like, so this 127 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.960 is another story. But you remember in Genesis when he 128 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.360 asks Cain, where's your brother and he's like, well, I'm 129 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.519 not his keeper. There's such attitude that comes from you know, 130 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.320 and it's like hey, jon and I need you to 131 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.240 go do this. How about No, I'm about to get 132 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.000 on a boat and sail to the opposite side of 133 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.720 the country. Like how many times I have myself personally, 134 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.320 I've done that a lot. 135 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.000 Money Python, run away. 136 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.200 Your coconuts. 137 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.799 And I think that's like this part where he's talking 138 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.840 about like this massive storm comes up, you know, and 139 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.879 and the it's so violent that it was threatening to 140 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.039 break the ship apart and stuff. What happens to us 141 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.480 in our daily lives when we completely ignore what God 142 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.759 says or what God wants us to do or how 143 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:02.240 he wants us to react, what happens literally stormy chaos. 144 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.240 That's why a lot of people always say, I don't 145 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.000 know why all these bad things keep happening to me 146 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:10.960 over and over and over again. 147 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.840 That's literally my life. 148 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.559 It's funny too, because as I was reading that that 149 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.519 part specifically, and it's like everybody else is freaking out. 150 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.960 It's total chaos. Like you said, the ship is, you know, 151 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.440 rocking all over the place. Where's Jonah asleep somewhere down 152 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.759 in the cargo hole. And he has a guilty conscience. 153 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.480 Like I was gonna say, it satisfied his ego, that's 154 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.080 why he was sleeping so good. 155 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.799 Yeah, he knew he had literally a guilty conscience. They're 156 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.519 all freaking out and we're all going to die, and 157 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.200 he's like, well, it's kind of my bee, but you know, 158 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.320 if you throw me into the ocean, maybe that'll make 159 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.480 God happy. Like he even knew what he needed to 160 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:03.440 be done exactly. I'm sorry, Yeah, I got a nap 161 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.080 right right. Either way, you're gonna die because you brought 162 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.080 this on yourself. So if you stay on the ship, 163 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.600 you're going to kill everybody, or you could sacrifice yourself. 164 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.399 So he did have a chance, and thankfully he made 165 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.799 the right decision to be selfless in that moment. But 166 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.120 he it was only because he had a guilty concept. 167 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.399 He knew he was doing something he wasn't supposed to 168 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:27.879 be doing. 169 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:32.039 Which what's interesting did that though? Yeah? On the ship 170 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.120 they said they were it was a pagan ship. But 171 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.759 even they were going, what is going on? And they 172 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.519 even like, you know, tested did who did? 173 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:39.600 It? 174 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.200 Was a game? They did a lot or something like 175 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.720 that was a game or something. Yeah, and then they 176 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:49.600 and it landed surprisingly on Jonah And but I mean 177 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.799 even they were looking for answers and they the pagans 178 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.799 actually said, you know, to appease your god. This god 179 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.679 something we got to get rid of. You got to 180 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.120 get rid of you. 181 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.320 You're sorry, I'm bad luck. 182 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:06.360 That's that's that one part. It says, uh, who are you? 183 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.039 What is your line of work? What country are you from? 184 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.440 What is your nationality? I mean that's just another way 185 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.279 of saying, who the hell are you? 186 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.399 What did you do? 187 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.799 Because obviously you're involved with some shady stuff, Like where 188 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.080 did you. 189 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.240 Come with somebody really upset. 190 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.159 Yeah, yeah, like tell us your story, asshole. So that's 191 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.000 why I think this is very important for like the 192 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.399 every day because I mean, I've been Jonah, like I 193 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.879 said a million times. But when you read a story 194 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.840 like this as a kid, the only part you remember 195 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.000 is he got swallowed by the fish, right, And you 196 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.960 know that's the part that stays with you. A whale. 197 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.320 Actually it doesn't even say a whale. It says a fish, 198 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.600 a great fish. So yeah, I think it's important to 199 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.240 go back as adults and reread some of these stories. 200 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.840 Oh yeah, Jonah the whale, and you think you know, 201 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.519 and then you go back and reread it, and it's 202 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.480 super relevant to adult life more than a kid. 203 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:06.600 Right. 204 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.639 Not to defend Jonah, but he was in a situation. 205 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.960 It was a lose lose situation because either he goes 206 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.759 and warns his enemies, which he doesn't want to do 207 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.720 to shape shape up, or you're gonna be destroyed. He'd 208 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.080 rather see them destroyed, so he doesn't want to warn them. 209 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.919 That's crazy. But then if he doesn't, I mean, he's 210 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.440 obviously the drowning was bad, and then it gets worse. 211 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.000 You know. 212 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.879 I was like Okay, I'm gonna drown. Okay, so now 213 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.440 the now the big fish, the great fish, the whale. 214 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.480 Then it gets worse and then okay, yeah, but that's he. 215 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:44.600 Did flight and freeze at the same time, able to 216 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.799 take care of it. Yeah, I'm sleeping bye uh huh. 217 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.639 I can't imagine a worse death than than drowning. That's 218 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.799 that's one of my scared of that. Yeah, I'm scared 219 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.600 of deep water. I'm scared of dark deep water, and 220 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.120 I'm scared of h heights. So those are two ways. 221 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.159 Are oh my gosh. 222 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.639 Like when we went in the ocean and Maui and 223 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.480 you could see, you know, but I thought it would 224 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.879 be cool if we snorkeled, but it was like super 225 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.759 more here and I was like you And I looked 226 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.519 at my ex husband and I said, he goes, what 227 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.200 is your problem? 228 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.600 I said, have you ever seen a. 229 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:28.720 Ship be swapped? Just a yacht wallowed in like three 230 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:29.559 point nine minutes? 231 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.200 Because I have and it was gone, and and you know, 232 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.759 there's so many of them down there. 233 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.279 You hear this all the time. And then you see 234 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:44.240 a whale and how big one whale is, and then 235 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.559 you know there's tons of what and. 236 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.879 It just that's what gets me. 237 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.320 I mean, you don't you don't want to take a 238 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.960 ride on a fish anytime soon? 239 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.600 WHOA, definitely not. 240 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.480 It's even worse too, because, like, if you grow up 241 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.080 in the South like I did, there's so many little 242 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.840 swimming holes and places you can go jump in. The 243 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.320 water is so freaking dirty. You can't see your hand 244 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.519 if you put it in five inches, let alone a 245 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:15.159 huge fish about to eat your you know, water moccasins. 246 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.000 Wet when we were little because my parents would not 247 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.759 take us, like to a swimming pool, and so we 248 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.440 would always go swim in a lake or or whatever, 249 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.720 and you would literally get nibbled on by stuff. Have 250 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.600 no idea what was chewing on you? 251 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.720 Yeah, and then if you're real lucky, you get out 252 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.240 and you got a bunch of leeches on you. 253 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:44.559 Stuff. Hey, they're they're they're healthy for you, right, leeches are. 254 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.759 Stuff. But anyways, have you gotten stung by jellyfish? How 255 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.519 much that hurts? 256 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:51.679 No? 257 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.799 Thank you so much, though, thank you. I'm good. But 258 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.279 think about think about, like I said, what two of 259 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.240 my greatest fears that if you were going to pick 260 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:08.320 anyway the worst ways to die deep dark water, drowning 261 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.440 in its stormy seat, or like falling off of a 262 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.200 really high tall building or something like that would be 263 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:14.639 for me. 264 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.639 But so Joan, you know this is it's not the 265 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.399 fall that gets you. It's the landing. 266 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:27.440 Oh God, right, I can't even look at those perpetual warriors, right, 267 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.279 we're like worrying the whole way down. 268 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.240 Did I put the clothes in the dryer? 269 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:37.879 You know that. 270 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.720 It's a falling just seems like I I, how long 271 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.559 are you aware before you hit? You know, it's like 272 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.519 free falling anyways. But at least Jonah had the wherewithal 273 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.559 to sacrifice himself to save everybody else. But I also 274 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:01.279 think it's because he knew that but after he got 275 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.799 in the water, God still had a purpose for him 276 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.599 in that he would still save him. So even though 277 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.799 he sacrificed himself and they tossed him overboard and he 278 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.359 was actively running from God, he still knew that he 279 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.480 would be saved after he got into the water. So 280 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.240 I think that's also important, is that it's best of 281 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.319 faith as well. 282 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.440 And I just want to point out that three days 283 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:37.240 because and the Bible is uber significant number three and 284 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:46.559 the Bible, which recurs repeatedly throughout the Bible, marks divine intervention, completeness, 285 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:51.599 and spiritual significance. So keep that in mind when we 286 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.759 go through the next parts, because that's what slammed me 287 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.640 in the head like a pickup truck, because jesus resurrection 288 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:09.640 was after three days m hm, and so that's part 289 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.960 of the light that was coming on. 290 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:20.480 So anyway, also, they brought the three gifts to Jesus 291 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:26.079 when he was worn three yeah, three wise men. 292 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.039 All the way yeah, Trinity. 293 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.200 The way through, it's all the way through. When that 294 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.799 shad wracked me, shack and a bendigo in the furnace, 295 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.000 always kind of three popping up there. But I forget 296 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:43.720 who you said, who has two. 297 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:46.200 Chapter? 298 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.279 Chapter two? Oh, Janet has chapter. 299 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.599 I do, and I'm so excited about that. 300 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:54.400 I'm excited as well. 301 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.920 She was elbowing everybody else out of the way for this. 302 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.759 I'm like, I'm taking part two. It's yeah, because the 303 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.279 very last part of Julia's is what set things in motion. 304 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.480 And when I read two and reread too, and mind you, 305 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:16.880 I've read the Bible like a lot of times over 306 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:21.839 my lifetime, and it wasn't until recently that everything just went. 307 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.160 It's kind of like God was like hello, like pay attention. Yeah, 308 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:37.519 So anything else on part one no, okay, So Part 309 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:42.599 two is Jonah's prayer. Then Jonah prayed to the Lord, 310 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.319 his God from inside the fish. He said, I cried 311 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.680 out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he 312 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.240 answered me, I called to you from the land of 313 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:57.039 the dead. That's very significant. And Lord, you heard me. 314 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.039 You threw me into the ocean depths, and I I 315 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.440 sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty 316 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.319 waters engulfed me. I was buried beneath your wild and 317 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:13.079 stormy waves. Then I said, O Lord, you have driven 318 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.119 me from your presence, Yet I will look once more 319 00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.640 towards your holy temple. I sank beneath the waves, and 320 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:25.359 the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. 321 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.599 I sank down to the very roots of the mountain. 322 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.680 I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gateslock shut forever. 323 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.039 But you, o Lord, my God, snatched me from the 324 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.039 jaws of death. As my life was slipping away, I 325 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.759 remembered the Lord, and my earnest prayer went out to 326 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.079 you in your holy temple. Those who worship false gods 327 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.720 turn their backs on all of God's mercies. But I 328 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.400 will offer sacrifices to you with songs and praise, and 329 00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:01.119 I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes 330 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.559 to the Lord alone. Then the Lord ordered the fish 331 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:09.880 to spit out Jonah onto the beach, ladies and gentlemen. 332 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.599 This is super exciting for me. Okay. So even in 333 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:24.279 times where we are struggling the most and going through turmoil, crisis, whatever, 334 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:29.680 that's when he hears us the most. He hears us 335 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.400 at all times, but that is when he hears us 336 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:37.680 the most. And when it says that he called out 337 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.359 to him from the land of the dead, that is 338 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.279 significant because when you are in the land of the dead, 339 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:51.720 you are spiritually dead. You have not followed God, you've 340 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.880 disobeyed God, you haven't repented for your sins, all of 341 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.680 that stuff. So think about this. We're going to go 342 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:06.480 back to Genesis, right. So God created the waters above, 343 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.000 and he created the firmament to separate the waters above 344 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:16.119 from the waters below. So in Julia's part, he was 345 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:20.079 talking about being in the deep waters and you know, 346 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:24.519 sinking down and how stormy it was under that. Think 347 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:31.200 about baptism. When you are baptized, the waters below are 348 00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.720 where all the suns and the turmoil should be staying. 349 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:35.319 Right. 350 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:43.359 That's where all of our what do you call it, like, 351 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.119 all of our sin and all of our disobedience and 352 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.720 all of those things die underneath the water, in the 353 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.319 deep water, so that when we rise above to the 354 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:58.440 waters above, we're given new life and rebirth and resurretion 355 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:04.920 resurrection which hence the number three and the resurrecting after 356 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:10.039 three days. Now here's what got me. So a couple 357 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.680 of things. He was talking about seaweed wrapping around his head. 358 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:20.160 Where's our third eye, right, which is our connection to 359 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.200 be able to see God, to hear God, to interpret 360 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.839 his message, we have to have that mental clarity. And 361 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:31.799 so seaweed is wrapping around his head, so his vision 362 00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.599 toward God is closed off at that particular time as 363 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:39.240 he's sinking under the water, and he's talking about the 364 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:42.440 weeds being under the water and stuff, which how many 365 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:46.160 times in life do we need to weed our gardens 366 00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:50.440 and get rid of our sins and our setbacks and 367 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:56.759 our need for you know, material of things or you know, 368 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.599 substance abuse, things like that. So God talks about weeds 369 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.920 in fifteen different books in the Bible, and he talks 370 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:13.880 about how and roots, and with roots you have to 371 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.240 be able to have healthy roots for them to bear fruit. Right, 372 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.200 And so all of these things started adding up for me. 373 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:25.240 And I'm going to get to the fish in a minute, 374 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.000 because the fish is a very significant thing as well. 375 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.240 But it says that he sank down to the very 376 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.880 root of the mountain, which just dawn dug me. The 377 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:45.240 root of the mountain is actually Hades significant because in 378 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:52.680 the Gospels, in Matthew and Luke God he references multiple times. 379 00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:57.559 Matthew twelve thirty nine through forty one says, but he 380 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.319 answered and said, unto them, an evil and adulterous generation 381 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.000 seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be 382 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.960 given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. 383 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.440 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in 384 00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:17.359 the wales belly, so shall the son of Man be 385 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.680 three days and three night, three nights in the heart 386 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:25.480 of the earth. Hades hell. Because there's two parts of Hades, 387 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.960 And we'll talk about that in a second too. The 388 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.200 men of let's see, the men of none of us 389 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.839 shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn 390 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.519 it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, 391 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:49.279 a greater than Jonah is here, meaning Jesus God. Matthew 392 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:54.759 sixteen four says Jesus again references Jonah and criticizing the Pharisees, 393 00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.880 and he says, wicked and adulterous generation seek it after 394 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:05.160 a sign, and there shall no sign be given unto 395 00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.480 it with the sign of prophet Jonah. And he left 396 00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.559 them and departed. Luke again references the same kind of 397 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:19.279 thing where it's all about Jonah. So Jonah's resurrection from 398 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:24.480 the depths and from Hades for three days. Jesus's resurrection 399 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:30.119 was three days, and that like never dawned on me before. 400 00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:35.960 And so I'm thinking, hmm, that's interesting. So when we die, 401 00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:43.039
