- 1:26i'm not finished with you yet
- 1:28i'm not finished we can get and uh i
- 1:31woke up
- 1:32this morning and i looked at my phone
- 1:34checked my phone
- 1:35here and i saw an article that popped up
- 1:38and it was about a man in cape cod
- 1:41connecticut
- 1:42or whatnot um his name is michael
- 1:45packard
- 1:46and on friday he was uh swallowed by
- 1:50will
- 1:51he was swallowed by a whale while he was
- 1:55fishing for lobsters in the ocean
- 1:58and that really really really caught my
- 2:02attention
- 2:02immediately i was like oh wow you know
- 2:05and i haven't done any sermons in quite
- 2:07a while i have been
- 2:08i lost a lot of confidence in myself
- 2:10lately
- 2:11because my mouth was wide shut but i
- 2:13know god was working on me i was able to
- 2:15do music and everything but
- 2:17you know i just thought i was finished
- 2:18you know i started the ministry last
- 2:21last month last year or whatnot and i
- 2:23thought i was finished i thought it was
- 2:25over
- 2:25once i got my jaw broken i didn't know
- 2:28how i was gonna bounce back but i had
- 2:29faith
- 2:30i didn't see the end all i knew was that
- 2:33i just wanted to heal and just eat and
- 2:35stay healthy and try not to lose as much
- 2:37weight as possible
- 2:39and uh now that i woke up this morning
- 2:42the day after getting my
- 2:44um you know wires removed
- 2:48this man can swallow by well i read the
- 2:51scripture go to the book of
- 2:53uh jonah the book of jonah was the first
- 2:55thing that came to mind when this man
- 2:57got swallowed by a whale
- 2:59and i watched and did some research in
- 3:01the news and
- 3:03the man said that uh he felt a bump
- 3:05while he was fishing and then next thing
- 3:07you know
- 3:07everything went black and he could feel
- 3:10like something moving
- 3:11it was black but he was moving he said
- 3:14it was for about 30 seconds
- 3:16and uh he said this is it i'm gonna die
- 3:19he said this is it this is his right
- 3:20word he said this is it i'm gonna die
- 3:23and uh next thing you know the whale
- 3:25went to the surface
- 3:27shook his head and spit him out
- 3:30and uh wells don't eat human beings
- 3:34okay they're uh
- 3:37they don't eat human beings they're
- 3:39considered gentle giants
- 3:41and they pose no threats to humans so
- 3:44the whale didn't want to eat this man
- 3:46just so happy he was at the wrong wrong
- 3:48place at the wrong time
- 3:49so they say in this world so i did some
- 3:53research on that
- 3:54and uh that happened because
- 3:58as humans spend more time in the ocean
- 4:00these days the more it happens
- 4:02frequently there's been two well
- 4:04incidents two times that this has
- 4:05happened in providence town
- 4:07where fishermen were swallowed by whales
- 4:10so
- 4:10uh like i said that was an interesting
- 4:13story
- 4:14it was off the coast of cape cod and uh
- 4:17his name was michael packard so this is
- 4:20what the lord has revealed to me in
- 4:22scripture
- 4:23as i studied the book of jonah and uh
- 4:27the word
- 4:27jonah means dove means dove excuse me
- 4:30means dove
- 4:32so uh i wanted to kind of shed light on
- 4:36what prophetic message that this has
- 4:40for today in today's time and why this
- 4:43happened to this man michael packard
- 4:45because i know he's wondering why
- 4:47this happened to me he said this is it
- 4:49and i'd like to know that you cry out to
- 4:51god what happened
- 4:53so i want you all to come with me um
- 4:57to the book of jonah in the bible if you
- 4:59don't have it
- 5:00google it you can look it up later on
- 5:02but i'm going to run through it for you
- 5:04so the theme and message of the book of
- 5:06jonah
- 5:07is the mercy of god okay to the gentile
- 5:11nations
- 5:12and uh lately there has been debate on
- 5:14social media about the color of jesus
- 5:17and
- 5:18and who the jews were and who the
- 5:19gentiles are and who
- 5:21exactly jesus came to save
- 5:24and hopefully this recent incident will
- 5:28add
- 5:28more clarity on the grace of god okay
- 5:31and his power
- 5:33and purpose for modern day american
- 5:35israel
- 5:36right here right now today um that we
- 5:39might discover the truth of god's
- 5:41concern for us
- 5:42for the entire creation and that
- 5:46she may better understand her own role
- 5:49our own roles and carrying out god's
- 5:52concern for us
- 5:54so in the beginning of jonah
- 5:58um he was asleep
- 6:01jonah was asleep we're going to go
- 6:03through the beginning of don't hook up
- 6:04jonah you sleep
- 6:06i'm going to read jonah verse 1. it says
- 6:09the word of the lord came to jonah the
- 6:11son of
- 6:12amethyst saying arise go to nineveh
- 6:15the great city and cry against it for
- 6:18their wickedness has come up before me
- 6:21so jonah was given an assignment he'd
- 6:23sleep
- 6:24he woke up god told him wake up rise up
- 6:28right and he told him to go to nineveh
- 6:31great city
- 6:32and cry out against it for its
- 6:34wickedness why
- 6:36why did god want jonah to wake up and
- 6:38cry out against nineveh
- 6:40what's going on in nineveh here's the
- 6:43question
- 6:44why would god wake him up in the middle
- 6:45of his seat and say hey go here and go
- 6:48cry out against it the same wickedness
- 6:50will go to genesis 18 verses 20 through
- 6:5321
- 6:55and it says in the word of the lord the
- 6:57lord said
- 6:58the outcry of sodom and gomorrah is
- 7:01indeed great
- 7:02and their sin is exceedingly great
- 7:06i will go now in verse 21 i will go down
- 7:09now and see
- 7:11if they have done entirely according to
- 7:13his outcry
- 7:14which has come to me and if not i will
- 7:16know
- 7:17so lord already has come down all
- 7:20knowing and all seeking
- 7:21and has seen in her the cries of the
- 7:23saints he's heard the mother's cries
- 7:26he's heard the prisoners cries he's
- 7:28heard the victims cry so
- 7:30so he chose this one man jonah
- 7:33which was a prophet to wake up and go
- 7:36and cry out to the city and tell them
- 7:37like hey
- 7:38you guys are tripping this is not right
- 7:41that's not right
- 7:42we shouldn't be doing this we shouldn't
- 7:44be saying that we should love god first
- 7:46with all our heart
- 7:47secondly we should love our neighbors
- 7:48like we love ourselves so god is telling
- 7:51them to wake up
- 7:52and go and do this but there's so much
- 7:54going on there's so much wickedness in
- 7:56the land jonah's like
- 7:58huh really why me lord
- 8:02so jonah woke up and he fled to tarshish
- 8:06instead from the presence of the lord so
- 8:08he woke up he said god i'm not doing
- 8:10that i can't do that
- 8:11it's beyond me i can't do that
- 8:14um it's bigger than me
- 8:18and oftentimes we're the same way
- 8:21we think that you know we have something
- 8:24that comes to our mind it comes to our
- 8:25heart
- 8:26it wakes up wake us up in the middle of
- 8:28the night and we're like we don't we
- 8:30should do something
- 8:31about it you know we hear something we
- 8:33know we should say something we're not
- 8:34talking about just twitter
- 8:35tweet sometime i'm actually doing
- 8:37something run for something
- 8:38start something go somewhere um and we
- 8:42don't do it
- 8:43you know to make that move to make that
- 8:46move we stay
- 8:46instead or we go so
- 8:50jonah fled in verse three of uh jonah
- 8:54he says jonah rose up to flee to
- 8:57tarshish from the presence of the lord
- 8:59so he went down to joppa and he found
- 9:02the ship which was going to tarshish and
- 9:04he played the
- 9:04paid the fair and went down into it
- 9:08to go with them to tarshish from the
- 9:11presence of the lord so he went and got
- 9:12a boat
- 9:13he hired some sailors and guys to take
- 9:16him away he didn't know
- 9:18where he was going he was going to
- 9:19tarshish he was going somewhere else
- 9:21you know besides where the lord wanted
- 9:24him to go
- 9:26so he went as far as paying to get on
- 9:28his boat just to avoid what god told him
- 9:31to do
- 9:31which would go to nineveh and oftentimes
- 9:34we do that
- 9:34we know we should be doing something but
- 9:37we don't do it
- 9:38so jonah didn't believe in himself he
- 9:40thought that the instruction god gave
- 9:42him was too big
- 9:43and it was beyond him so he stayed and
- 9:46he went somewhere else
- 9:48beyond where he shouldn't have went he'd
- 9:49rather leave it up
- 9:51to the community leaders like black
- 9:53lives matter and all the other
- 9:55politicians and
- 9:56local churches and government he'd
- 9:58rather leave it up to them
- 10:00to go to nineveh and tell them it was
- 10:02wrong you'd rather leave it up to the
- 10:04to the voters he said i don't need to be
- 10:06involved man what can i do i'm just me
- 10:08god
- 10:09it's beyond me so he didn't believe that
- 10:12he had what it took
- 10:13to rise up and go to a city right in the
- 10:16middle of the trenches and cry out
- 10:18against
- 10:18it for the wickedness he thought he
- 10:20would have got
- 10:21he was just scared he was afraid he
- 10:23didn't believe
- 10:25so jonah paid for his little boat he hit
- 10:27the shore he went to tarsus
- 10:29remind you jonah wasn't a fisherman that
- 10:31wasn't his trade
- 10:33he didn't know how to ride boats he
- 10:34didn't know how to
- 10:36get get he didn't know how to navigate
- 10:38the the hot
- 10:39the land to see and uh the water
- 10:42he didn't know how to navigate the land
- 10:44like michael packard did
- 10:46the lobster man the lobster fisherman
- 10:48that just got swallowed by the whale
- 10:50recently
- 10:51he didn't know he was a prophet jonah
- 10:52was a prophet you know he was the son of
- 10:55hematite he was a prophet he had a plan
- 10:58and a purpose
- 11:00okay and i did him a wikipedia search on
- 11:03jonah and like i said
- 11:05it caught my attention that it says
- 11:07clearly that jesus
- 11:08calls himself greater than jonah and
- 11:11promises the pharisees or
- 11:13theologians of this day that the sign of
- 11:16jonah is a sign of jesus's resurrection
- 11:20so the sign that you see today
- 11:23is the sign of jesus's resurrection we
- 11:25take it lightly we think it was luck
- 11:27they said he was lucky i heard the
- 11:29newscaster say that he was lucky
- 11:31no that man was blessed to be able to be
- 11:34swallowed by a whale
- 11:36and be spit out okay and live to tell a
- 11:39story so it's up to me
- 11:41as a spiritual leader in the spirit to
- 11:43explain this to you that it was not look
- 11:46that this happened that is a sign of
- 11:48jesus's resurrection and we'll get into
- 11:50that why
- 11:51it symbolizes the resurrection of jesus
- 11:54and how good
- 11:55god is and how he will just allow things
- 11:57to happen
- 11:58to open our eyes and but we won't know
- 12:01unless somebody reveals this truth to us
- 12:04from the word of god so early christians
- 12:08interpreters early christian
- 12:10interpreters
- 12:11people before me they viewed jonah as a
- 12:14type of jesus
- 12:15because he was in the well for three
- 12:17days and three nights
- 12:18and then he was spit out so now jonah's
- 12:21in the water
- 12:22okay doing something he wasn't supposed
- 12:25to do
- 12:26he's he's fishing he's riding with these
- 12:28sailors he's out
- 12:29going about he's going somewhere he
- 12:31wasn't told to go
- 12:32and then uh in verse four it says the
- 12:35lord the lord hurled
- 12:36a great wind on the sea and there was a
- 12:39great storm on the sea
- 12:41so that the ship was about to break up
- 12:44verse 5 then the sailors became afraid
- 12:47and
- 12:48every man cried to his god god with the
- 12:50lowercase
- 12:51g don't mind you there's a difference
- 12:53between the lowercase g
- 12:55and the uppercase g when you're
- 12:57mentioning god lowercase g
- 12:59is just the low bottom god buddha
- 13:03um you know whatever it is the sun
- 13:07mythology those are lowercase gods but
- 13:10the uppercase god when you see that with
- 13:12the capital g
- 13:13that means the almighty jehovah jehovah
- 13:16yahweh the one alpha and mega god
- 13:20so please when you're tweeting and
- 13:22you're typing out there and mentioning
- 13:23god in your
- 13:24in your in your messages please put a
- 13:26capital g on that because it really
- 13:28bothers me
- 13:29when people put a lowercase g respect to
- 13:32god respect god when you say he
- 13:35when you refer to god as he put a
- 13:38capital h on that when you refer to god
- 13:40as yours
- 13:41your word be done put a capital y on any
- 13:44time you're referring to god you must
- 13:45put an
- 13:46upper case on that because he's not a
- 13:48lower case
- 13:49all right so the sailors became afraid
- 13:53in verse 5
- 13:53the book of jonah and every man cried
- 13:56out to his god
- 13:57right 5 8 let's go to his god
- 14:01kings 18 26 first kings 18
- 14:0426 i want to break that down a little
- 14:06bit more for you
- 14:07because i want you to understand
- 14:11god's right we are gods but we're not
- 14:16the god 1826.
- 14:20um then they took the ox which was given
- 14:23them and they prepared it and called on
- 14:26the name of ball
- 14:27the morning until noon oh ball answers
- 14:30but there was no voice and no one
- 14:31answered
- 14:32and they leaped about the altar which
- 14:34they made ball
- 14:35that could be considered buddha we pray
- 14:38to buddha
- 14:39and he doesn't answer back so those are
- 14:42that's a lowercase god
- 14:43you know the uppercase god the real god
- 14:46he answers back he answers our prayers
- 14:49so just uh wanted to leave that on so
- 14:52they cried out to their god and they
- 14:54threw the cargo which was in the ship
- 14:56into the sea to lighten it up for them
- 14:58but jonah
- 14:59had gone below into the hold of the ship
- 15:03laid down and fell asleep so all the men
- 15:06are panicking the seas are
- 15:08going are raving right now raging water
- 15:11waters and raging
- 15:12they're throwing things off the boat
- 15:13hoping that it would lighten up the load
- 15:15so
- 15:16uh jonah goes down and goes to sleep
- 15:19jesus did the same thing
- 15:20when the seas were where when everything
- 15:22was falling all around around
- 15:24me went to sleep so jonah went down and
- 15:26he went to sleep
- 15:27a lot of the other men were praying
- 15:30verse six so the captain approached him
- 15:32started looking for jonah they're like
- 15:34wait everybody here is accounted for
- 15:36where is jonah
- 15:38where is he at so he looked everywhere
- 15:39of the boat
- 15:41so uh they go down to the boat
- 15:44to the bow and they see uh
- 15:48jonas sleep so he says
- 15:51get up call on your guy with the
- 15:53lowercase g he's telling him to call on
- 15:55your god we all called on our gods call
- 15:57your god
- 15:57maybe your god will answer he said
- 15:59perhaps your god will be concerned about
- 16:01us
- 16:01so that we will not perish each man said
- 16:05to his own man
- 16:06come let us cast lots so that meanwhile
- 16:08me we may learn to see
- 16:10on whose account this calamity has
- 16:12struck us
- 16:13so they cast lots and lots fell on
- 16:16joseph so they all figured out they all
- 16:18put two and two together in other words
- 16:20you all took a tally and they said hey i
- 16:22pray
- 16:22i pray yeah i pray to my god you pray
- 16:24your god yeah i pray
- 16:26but the winnings are still jonah you the
- 16:28only one didn't pray yet man what's up
- 16:30with you
- 16:30why haven't you prayed yet so they said
- 16:33to him tell us now
- 16:34on whose account has this calamity
- 16:37struck us
- 16:38what is your occupation and where do you
- 16:41come from
- 16:42what is your country and from what
- 16:43people are you in other words you aren't
- 16:45a fisherman you don't fish
- 16:47you don't look like a fisherman down
- 16:48there sleep if you was a real fisherman
- 16:50you'd be up here with us trying to
- 16:52figure out
- 16:52how we're gonna get and navigate past
- 16:54this storm
- 16:55so we know something different about you
- 16:57what are you doing here what's your
- 16:58purpose what are you running from
- 17:00why are you here so
- 17:03so it became frightening so
- 17:06okay so then he says in verse eight tell
- 17:09us who are you like i said where are you
- 17:11from
- 17:12and then jonah gives them a simple
- 17:14answer he's like man
- 17:16they like he said to them i'm a hebrew
- 17:20and i fear the lord god of heaven
- 17:24who made the sea and the land drive lord
- 17:26god with the capital g
- 17:29he said to them i am a hebrew and i fear
- 17:32the lord god of heaven who made the sea
- 17:35and the land dry
- 17:37then the then the men became in verse 10
- 17:39then the men
- 17:40became extremely frightened and they
- 17:42said to him how could you do this to us
- 17:46for the men knew that he was fleeing
- 17:48from the presence
- 17:50of the lord because he had told them so
- 17:53he's saying why'd you run

- 18:11why are you here with us okay
- 18:14why are you here with us why are you
- 18:16here with us

- 18:26you like
- 18:26you're the only one that hasn't prayed
- 18:28like what do we do and
- 18:30and mind you jonah still hasn't prayed
- 18:32yet jonah could have prayed knowing that
- 18:35god in heaven who made the sea and land
- 18:38dry he couldn't pray
- 18:39right then and there but he still didn't
- 18:41why because jonah was scared
- 18:43he was still afraid he know he wasn't
- 18:45supposed to be there in the first place
- 18:46he's trying to figure out figure it out
- 18:48on his own he'd rather
- 18:50he'd rather die he'd rather die
- 18:53and they became afraid and every man
- 18:55cried to his own god
- 18:57and the sellers threw off everything but
- 18:59he became afraid
- 19:01and uh and like i said everybody noticed
- 19:03someone was missing
- 19:05and after all donald's only when he
- 19:07wasn't he was the only one i didn't pray
- 19:09he wasn't supposed to be there in the
- 19:11first place because the
- 19:12lord already had told him where to go to
- 19:14nineveh and cry out to them for the lord
- 19:17but he was too scared he listened to the
- 19:20haters and the naysayers
- 19:21and he fell out of purpose instead and
- 19:23fell and fell out of purpose
- 19:26so when they found out it was jonah they
- 19:28asked him where he was from
- 19:30and uh you know he said i'm the god
- 19:34you know i i worship the god of heaven
- 19:38and so after he asked him what are you
- 19:41doing here
- 19:42like i said jonah could have prayed he
- 19:45knew he had already let god down so he
- 19:47didn't want to ask god for help
- 19:49and oftentimes we do that we're so
- 19:51afraid of god's calling on our lives
- 19:54we get thrown off and we'd rather live
- 19:57outside of our purpose
- 19:59and risk dying for it than to live in on
- 20:01purpose
- 20:03so then so jonah told them to throw him
- 20:06overboard
- 20:07so he's like man i'm i'm done i just
- 20:10throw me overboard you guys i'm sorry
- 20:12just throw me overboard so he said pick
- 20:13me up
- 20:14because they asked him they said to him
- 20:16what should we do with you so that the
- 20:17sea may become calm for us
- 20:19for the seed was becoming exceedingly
- 20:21stormy and jonah said to him in verse 12
- 20:24pick me up and throw me into the sea so
- 20:27that the sea will become calm for you
- 20:29for i know that on account of me this
- 20:31great storm has come to come
- 20:33has come upon you it's all my fault 13
- 20:36however
- 20:37the men rode desperately and returned to
- 20:39return to land but they couldn't for the
- 20:41sea was becoming even stormier and
- 20:43stormier against them
- 20:44so even though they knew it was was
- 20:47jonah's fault they they could have threw
- 20:48him over the overboard
- 20:50he told them throw me overboard but the
- 20:52guys was like man we know you were man
- 20:54of god we're not about to do that
- 20:56right so then they was like man so they
- 20:58tried to roll anyway they tried to
- 21:00even they still tried to go because they
- 21:02they that was even an act of faith
- 21:04on behalf of the captain and his men
- 21:06because they still
- 21:07they believed they even though they
- 21:09prayed to their lower case gods
- 21:11they knew something was up with god with
- 21:14with jonah's god
- 21:15so they still didn't even want to throw
- 21:17him overboard they didn't want to touch
- 21:18him
- 21:19so so they tried to go around and they
- 21:21tried to get him still home safely
- 21:23they tried to help his back but uh
- 21:27it became even stormier even the men
- 21:30they still didn't cry out
- 21:32so then finally after they realized man
- 21:34we're not getting nowhere this storm is
- 21:36getting worse
- 21:37then they called on the lord with a
- 21:39capital l
- 21:40and said we earnestly pray oh lord do
- 21:43not let us perish
- 21:45on account of this man's life and do not
- 21:48put innocent blood on us
- 21:49for you o lord have done us
- 21:53you have done us as have done
- 21:56as you have pleased so in other words
- 21:58he's saying god you made your point
- 22:01please we earnestly pray to you we sorry
- 22:04we pray to our lord case god but we
- 22:06believe now
- 22:07that it is this man's fault we know you
- 22:10got something planned for this man
- 22:12god but i'm sorry god we're going to
- 22:15throw him overboard
- 22:17we have to do this so they picked him up
- 22:19and threw him into the seat
- 22:21and the seat stopped raging
- 22:24so as soon as they threw him over they
- 22:26prayed first and then they threw him
- 22:28over
- 22:29and it stopped and once the seed stopped
- 22:32the men feared the lord in verse 16 then
- 22:34the men feared the lord greatly
- 22:36and they offered a sacrifice to the lord
- 22:38and made valves they was like man god we
- 22:41believe now
- 22:42they made a sacrifice they made a
- 22:45sacrifice when they threw the man of god
- 22:47overboard
- 22:49they made a sacrifice they had to do
- 22:51what they had to do
- 22:52and they made a vow and said lord we
- 22:54gonna serve you from now on
- 22:5716 hey let's let's think of valves
- 23:00let's go to uh psalms 50 14.
- 23:05we're going to talk about vowels when
- 23:07they made that vow
- 23:09to god because they they didn't believe
- 23:11at first
- 23:13but once they threw um good old jonah
- 23:16overboard
- 23:18they they knew so let's see what they
- 23:22say about the vowels
- 23:24that these men made
- 23:28so 50 14.
- 23:31psalms 50 14 amen and it
- 23:35here in the word of the lord offer to
- 23:37god a sacrifice of thanksgiving

- 23:46shall rescue you
- 23:48and you will honor me so they honor the
- 23:49lord
- 23:51and the lord appointed a great fish so
- 23:54after that
- 23:55jonah's in the water now it's cold it
- 23:58will drown
- 23:59jonah would have made it and then for
- 24:01sure he would have never made it to
- 24:02nineveh he would have never made it to
- 24:04tarshish but god still had a plan
- 24:06he said i'm not finished with you yet
- 24:09i'm not finished with you yet so then
- 24:12jonah
- 24:13so then and when the lord and then the
- 24:15lord appointed a great fish to swallow
- 24:17jonah
- 24:18and jonah was in the stomach of the fish
- 24:20for three days and three nights
- 24:23three days and three nights good old mr

- 25:29into the deep into the heart of the seas
- 25:32all the current engulfed me

- 25:44water encompassed me to the point of
- 25:46death the great deep engulfed me

- 26:25sickness
- 26:27you know we're in rock bottom feeling
- 26:29overwhelmed or pride or fear
- 26:32or even ignorance stops us from praying
- 26:34calling out to god so we stay stuck in
- 26:36that same
- 26:37same place thinking there's no way out
- 26:39of it
- 26:40okay we think there's no way out of it
- 26:44but god preserved jonah for three days
- 26:46like i said that three days

- 27:26so uh jonah says in verse six
- 27:30chapter two i descended to the roots of
- 27:33the mountains
- 27:34the earth with its bars was around me
- 27:36forever
- 27:37but you have brought up my life from the

- 28:22with the voice of thanksgiving that
- 28:24which i have vowed to pay
- 28:26salvation is from the lord then the lord
- 28:30in verse 10 then the lord commanded the
- 28:33fish
- 28:33and it vomited jonah up into the dry
- 28:36land
- 28:38the dry land the same lord god of heaven
- 28:41who made the sea
- 28:42and the dry land after jonah prayed
- 28:47he spit him up you know jonah went up
- 28:50went off went offline he went off course
- 28:53he lost his gps signal he was in a place
- 28:57he shouldn't have been
- 28:58michael was in a michael was where he
- 29:00was supposed to be he was a fisherman
- 29:02for michael i want you to know that god
- 29:05allowed this as a symbolic reason for us
- 29:08to repent so jonah's out of the well
- 29:13and the word of the lord came to him
- 29:15again the second time
- 29:16in verse in chapter three so lord god
- 29:19said i'm not finished with you yet
- 29:21right god said i'm not finished with you
- 29:23yet john you thought it was that easy to
- 29:26escape
- 29:27what i had planned for you you thought
- 29:29you was just gonna
- 29:31you know avoid me by going to work and
- 29:33working that nine to five
- 29:35you thought you was gonna avoid me by
- 29:36cutting that corner
- 29:38and doing this and doing that well
- 29:41that's not what i had planned for you so
- 29:43let's try this again arise go to nineveh
- 29:47the great city and proclaim it
- 29:49to it the proclamation which i am going
- 29:52to tell you so jonah arose and went to
- 29:55nineveh
- 29:56according to the word of the lord now
- 29:59nineveh was an exceedingly great city at
- 30:01three days walk
- 30:03the same three days time that he was in
- 30:05that belly of the well
- 30:07he could have been there already in
- 30:09nineveh but he decided to go off course
- 30:11so
- 30:12jonah could have been there a long time
- 30:14ago but you know
- 30:15he was too scared so god gave him a
- 30:18second chance he said i'm not through
- 30:20yet i need you to go to nineveh like i
- 30:22said
- 30:23i need you to go to nineveh but it was a
- 30:26three days walk
- 30:27verse four in chapter three of jonah
- 30:29then jonah began to go through the city
- 30:32one day's walk and he cried out and said
- 30:35yet 40 days and nineveh will be
- 30:37overthrown
- 30:39so he's saying like man what am i doing
- 30:40you are you only walk today and he's
- 30:42like man it's taking too long like
- 30:44by the time i get there it'll be done
- 30:47already you know
- 30:49then the people of nineveh began
- 30:50believing god and they called it fast
- 30:53and put on sackcloth from the greatest
- 30:55to the least of them verse six when the
- 30:57word reached the king of nineveh
- 30:59he arose from his throne laid aside his
- 31:01role from him
- 31:02covered himself with sackcloth and sat
- 31:04on the ashes
- 31:06verse seven he issued a proclamation and
- 31:08it said
- 31:09in nineveh by the decree of the king and
- 31:12his nobles
- 31:12do not let man beast heard or flock
- 31:15taste the thing do not let them eat or
- 31:18drink water but both man and beast must
- 31:20be covered with sackcloth
- 31:21and let men call on god earnestly that
- 31:24each
- 31:25may turn from his wicked way and from
- 31:27the violence which was in his hand
- 31:30who knows god may turn and relent and
- 31:32withdraw his burning anger so that we
- 31:34will not perish
- 31:36verse 10 when god saw their deeds they
- 31:38turned away from their wicked way
- 31:40then god relented concerning the
- 31:43calamity which he had declared
- 31:46he would bring upon them and he did not
- 31:48do amen
- 31:50so you know john owen did his thing
- 31:54at the end of the day he went and did
- 31:56his thing
- 31:58you know so uh
- 32:01god is good uh that was the word that
- 32:04came to me today
- 32:05that that wasn't just by chance that
- 32:07michael got swallowed by that will
- 32:10and that um you know uh
- 32:15i just pray that you know this message
- 32:17you guys go go study it for yourself
- 32:20um i have a lot more studying to do
- 32:22myself
- 32:24but uh you know
- 32:27it's all good i'm gonna read verse
- 32:30chapter four again um
- 32:34it says but it greatly displeased jonah
- 32:37and he became angry he prayed to the
- 32:40lord and said please
- 32:41lord was not this what i said while i
- 32:44was still in my own country therefore in
- 32:46order
- 32:47to forestall this i fled to tarshish
- 32:50for i knew that you are a gracious and
- 32:52compassionate god slow to anger and
- 32:54abundant love and kindness
- 32:56and one who relents concerning calamity
- 32:59therefore now oh lord please take my
- 33:01life from me
- 33:02for death is better to me than life
- 33:05the lord said do you have good reason to
- 33:08be angry
- 33:09then jonah went out from the city and
- 33:11sat east of it
- 33:13there he made a shelter for himself and
- 33:15sat it and sat under it
- 33:17in the shade until he could see what
- 33:19would happen in the city
- 33:20so the lord god appointed a plant and it
- 33:23grew up over
- 33:23jonah to be a shade over his head to
- 33:26deliver him from his discomfort
- 33:29and jonah was extremely happy about the
- 33:31plant
- 33:32but god appointed a worm went down
- 33:35when dawn came the next day and it
- 33:37attacked the plant
- 33:38and it withered when the sun came up god
- 33:41appointed a
- 33:42scorching east wind and the sun beat
- 33:44down on jonah's head
- 33:46so that he became faint and begged with
- 33:48all his soul to die saying death is
- 33:50better to me than life
- 33:52then god said to jonah do you have good
- 33:55reason to be angry about the plant
- 33:57and he said i have good reason to be
- 33:59angry
- 34:00even to death then the lord said you had
- 34:03compassion on the planet
- 34:05for which you did not work and which you
- 34:07did not cause to grow
- 34:08which came up overnight and perished
- 34:10overnight should i
- 34:12not have compassion on nineveh the great
- 34:15city
- 34:15in which there are more than a hundred
- 34:17and twenty thousand persons
- 34:18who do not know the difference between
- 34:20their right and left hand
- 34:22as well as many animals bam
- 34:26praise god for his word now i know i
- 34:30went through that
- 34:31real far but that was the whole point
- 34:34they never did
- 34:35god no jonah didn't want to help
- 34:38men never jonah became angry
- 34:43jonathan jonah felt like nineveh wasn't
- 34:45worth it
- 34:47jonah felt none of it wasn't worth the
- 34:49time
- 34:51to tell them anything
- 34:55to save them
- 35:01but the people believed in god
- 35:04you know the people believed in god
- 35:07and they called it fast what made them
- 35:11believe
- 35:13what made them believe is when when
- 35:15jonah told him
- 35:18jonah told him and he went
- 35:22according to the word of the lord
- 35:26and he cried out and said
- 35:30yet 40 days a nineveh will be overthrown
- 35:33then the people of nineveh will begin
- 35:34and god
- 35:35believed in god because he told them
- 35:37like 40 days
- 35:38that's not what what god told him to
- 35:41tell him
- 35:44that's not what he told him to tell him
- 35:46he told him to cry against it
- 35:48for the wickedness has come up before me
- 35:51but he told him he had 40 days and then
- 35:53it would be overthrown
- 35:55but the people got scared and then they
- 35:57started to cry out to god
- 35:59you know and i guess john i didn't
- 36:02expect that
- 36:04jonah didn't want that
- 36:08he didn't feel like they were they were
- 36:09ready for that
- 36:11but they repented and god saw their
- 36:13deeds
- 36:15that they turned from their wicked ways
- 36:18so he relented concerning the calamity
- 36:21which he had declared on them
- 36:23so let's say like this vaccine we think
- 36:26it's the vaccine man
- 36:28when all along it was god man god
- 36:30allowed this
- 36:33to uh to heal and get past this calamity
- 36:36he allowed these doctors and these
- 36:37scientists to develop this
- 36:40you know this vaccine this so-called
- 36:43cure
- 36:44that i haven't taken yet i'm glad you
- 36:46have a glass she has
- 36:50he allowed that to happen and uh
- 36:53he relented concerning the calamity
- 36:56which he had declared
- 36:58he would bring upon us the same one like
- 37:00he did in sodom and gomorrah
- 37:02but you know jonathan was angry i'm mad
- 37:05sometime i wanted
- 37:07i'm mad sometimes sometimes i i want
- 37:09things to happen because
- 37:10of the wickedness in this world i feel
- 37:12like why god you allow this person to
- 37:14to thrive why do you allow that to
- 37:16happen when there's so much wickedness
- 37:19to happen but then
- 37:22you know and um and
- 37:26and but he cried he said
- 37:30was was not this what i said while i was
- 37:33still in my own country therefore in
- 37:36order to force all this i fled to
- 37:39tarshish he said i didn't want this to
- 37:40happen because it's happening in my own
- 37:42country like why should i help them when
- 37:44it's happening right here in my own
- 37:45country
- 37:47for i knew you were a gracious and
- 37:48compassionate god slow to anger and
- 37:50abundant in love and kindness
- 37:52and one who relents concerning calamity

- 39:39planted he appointed a plant
- 39:42and it grew up over jonah in the shade
- 39:44over his head to deliver him from his
- 39:46discomfort and jonah was extremely
- 39:49happily

- 39:54he was hurt he wasn't a bad person he
- 39:56was just hurt he wanted the best for
- 39:58everybody but he didn't understand like
- 40:00why god was being so merciful so god

- 40:24so the plant died while john would sleep
- 40:29and you know when the sun came up god
- 40:32appointed a
- 40:33scorching east wind and the sun beat
- 40:35down on jonah's hand so that he can't
- 40:37think
- 40:38in bed with all his soul saying death is
- 40:41better to me than life
- 40:42so his plants dying you know and then
- 40:46he got hot and it was hot outside he's

- 41:26yeah i have a good reason to be angry
- 41:28look what you're doing man i'd rather
