Part 51 of the David Pawson 'Unlocking the Bible' Podcast series
As David Pawson looks at Jonah, he says that God would give a message to a prophet in either words or pictures and it would become like a burden within them until delivered. The message could be of challenge when people were doing wrong, or of comfort when they were on the right track. Sadly, most of the prophets, like Jonah, had to challenge. Jonah came from the same village as Jesus, Nazareth. He was called to go to Assyria’s capital, Nineveh. The Assyrians were a particularly cruel people. Because of the strange story of Jonah being swallowed by a large fish when he tried to run away from his mission, many people take it as a myth or parable. David explains why he believes it is factual. He also says when you’ve answered the question of why Jonah ran away, the whole book will open up to you. There are 8 physical miracles in the story of Jonah, not just one. This book shows us that God is still in control of the world he created. This is an enlightening study.
