Notes: Lessons of Yonah/Jonah

Tonights study is going to focus on a lesson many miss in the story of Yonah.
In Yonah 1:1-2
Now the Devar Yahuah
came unto Yonah ben
Amittai, saying,
|2| Arise, go to Nineveh, that
ha'ir hagedolah (great city),
and preach against it;
for their wickedness is come
up before Me. >>>>>we read that Yonah is given a message to give to the city of Ninevah.
First we need to understand that Yonah was the son of Amittai. According to Young's concordance
he was a Zeulonite, and this was around 890 bce.

>>And in II Kings 14:25 we find that he was from
a city called Gat haChefer.

>>Melachim Bet/II Kings 14:25 He restored the boundary
of Yisroel from the entrance
of Chamat unto the
yam of the Aravah, according
to the Devar/word of Yahuah Elohim
Yisroel, which He spoke by the
yad of His Eved HaNavi
Yonah Ben Amittai, who was
of Gat HaChefer.

NOw we need to understand about Nineveh as well.
Ninevah was a major city of Assyria. The Assyrians were known for their brutality and and warlike
ways. This city was so large that it took 3 days to walk through it.

>>Yonah 3:3 So Yonah arose, and went
unto Nineveh, according to
the Devar Yahuah. Now
Nineveh was an exceeding ir
gedolah (great city) of a journey of
shloshet yamim (three days).

Now Yonah knew all of this; here was Abba YHWH telling Yonah to go into this great city by himself
with a message about how evil they were and that they needed to repent.

As with many of us, when given an enormous task; especially one fret with danger, we begin to
have fears. So too did Yonah!

Why would Yahuah send him on such a mission which could cost him his life? So Yonah did what many
of us do, he ran away from the commission which Abba Yahuah had given him.

>>Yonah 1:3 But Yonah rose up to run
away unto Tarshish from the
presence of Yahuah, and went
down to Yafo; and he found
an oniyah (vessel) going to Tarshish;
so he paid the fare thereof,
and went down into it, to go
with them unto Tarshish from
the presence of Yahuah.

How many times in our lives have we been given a daunting task; laid upon us by the Ruach HaKadesh,
only to "run" away in fear? Perhaps it was fear, of never having done such a thing before, or maybe
it was a real sense of danger. Or was it just something that didn't fit our desires for what we
wanted to do?

>>Mishlei/Proverbs 29:25 The fear of adam
bringeth a mokesh (snare), but
he who putteth his trust in
Yahuah shall be secure.

>>Yeshayahu/Isaiah 21:4 My lev panted, fearfulness
seized upon me; the neshef
(twilight) of my longing hath
become unto me as
kharadah (shuddering horror).

Yes, sometimes we let the fear of the unknown; real or imagined; get the better of us. But we have
the promise of the Ruach HaKadesh; speaking through the Kohen haGadol/ High Priest and father of
Yochanan ha Matbeel/ John the Immerser, that we would be deivered out of the hand of our enemies,
(including fear).

>>Luka/Luke 1:67-75 And Zecharyah, his
abba, was filled with the
Ruach Hakodesh and brought
forth a dvar nevuah, saying,
|68| BARUCH HASHEM Yahuah YISROEL, for
Elohim has visited his Am
Berit and accomplished a
pedut kofer ransom for the
Geulah of his people.
|69| And Yahuah raised up a
Keren Yeshuah (Horn of
Salvation), a mighty Moshia,
for us in the Beis Dovid, His eved,
|70| Just as Yahuah spoke
through the mouth of His
neviim hakedoshim meOlam
(holy prophets from long ago),
[YIRMEYAH 23:5]
|71| That we should have
Yeshuat Eloheinu from our
oyvim (enemies) and from the
hand of all the ones who
regard us with sinas chinom
(baseless hatred).
|72| Thus Yahuah has
demonstrated his rachamim
(mercy) to Avoteinu (our
Fathers) and has remembered
his Brit HaKodesh (Holy
Covenant), [MICHOH 7:20;
TEHILLIM 105:8,9; 106:45;
YECHEZKEL 16:60]
|73| The Brit HaShevuah (the
Covenant of the oath) which
He swore to Avraham Avinu to
grant us, [BERESHIS 22:16-
18]
|74| Having been delivered
from the yad haoyvim (hand
of enemies) of us to serve
Yahuah fearlessly,
|75| In kedushah (holiness)
and tzedek (righteousness)
before Him all our yamim
(days).

Do you see that promise in verse 74? Do you find that encouraging? NOw lets look as what the
Master Yahushua HIMSelf says.

>>Mattityahu/Matthew 10:16-28
|16| Hinei! I send you as
kevesim (sheep) in the midst of
ze’evim; therefore, have the
seichel (intelligence) of
nachashim (serpents) and be
tamim (faultless) as yonim
(doves).
|17| And beware of Bnei
Adam, for they will deliver you
up to the sanhedriyot (local
councils, bet din courts) and
in their shuls they will subject
you to the shot (whip).
|18| And before moshelim
(governors) and also melachim
(kings) you will be led for my
sake [for the sake of Moshiach],
for an edut (testimony) to
them and to the Goyim.
|19| But when they deliver
you up, do not be of a LEV
ROGEZ (anxious heart,
DEVARIM 28:65) worried
about how or what you are to
say; for it will be given to you
in that hour what you are to
speak.
|20| For you are not the ones
speaking, but the Ruach
Avichem (the Spirit of your
Father) is the one speaking in
you.
|21| And brother will deliver
up to death his own brother,
even an abba his own yeled.
And yeladim will stand up
against their horim (parents)
and put them to death.
|22| And you will be under
the sinas chinom (baseless
hatred) of kol Bnei Adam on
account of my Name; but the
one enduring ad es HaKetz
(until the End) will receive the
Yeshuat Eloheinu (the
Salvation of our Elohim).
|23| But when they persecute
you in one shtetl, flee to the
other; for, omein, I say to you,
by no means will you complete
the shtetlach of Eretz Yisroel
until the Bias HaMoshiach
(Coming of the Moshiach, the
Ben HaAdam, DANIEL 7:13).
|24| A talmid is not above his
Rebbe nor an eved (servant)
above his Baal Bayit (master).
|25| It is enough for the
talmid that he be like his
Rebbe, and the eved like his
Baal Bayit. If they called the
Baal Bayit Baal-zibbul, how
much more the anashim (men)
in his bais.
|26| Therefore, do not fear
them; for nothing has been
veiled which will not be
unveiled; and nothing has
been nistar (hidden) which
will not be made known.
|27| What I say to you in the
choshech (darkness), you
declare in the ohr (light); and
what you hear whispered into
your ears, shout, preach, from
the rooftops.|28| And do not fear those
who kill the basar (flesh), but
are unable to kill the nefesh
(soul); but rather fear the One
who is able to destroy both
basar and nefesh in
Gehinnom.

So who are we to fear? YAHUAH our Elohim, Who is able to destroy both the flesh and the
spirit of man.

Let us return to the story of Yonah.
In 1:3 we see what happens when one is overcome with fear. They run away from the
commission our Abba Yahuah gives them. The question is; can we really run away?

>>Yonah 1:4 But Yahuah sent out a
ruach gedolah (great wind)
into the yam (sea), and there
was a sa'ar gadol (mighty
tempest) in the yam, so that
the oniyah was like to be
broken.

When we rebel against Yahuah; be assured HE will send "storms" into our lives. And sometimes
innocent people are caught up in these storms, just as the men on the ship.

>>Yirmeyahu/Jeramiah 23:23-24 Am I Elohei
mikarov,(at hand)
saith Yahuah, and not Elohei
merachok(afar off)?
|24| Can any ish hide himself
in secret places that I shall not
see him? saith Yahuah. Do not I fill Shomayim and
Ha'Aretz? saith Yahuah.

>>Tehillim/Psalms 139:7-16 To where can I go from
Thy Ruach [Hakodesh]? Or to
where shall I flee from Thy
presence?
|8| If I ascend up into
Shomayim, Thou art there; if I
make my bed in Sheol, hinei,
Thou art there.
|9| If I take the wings of the
shachar (dawn), and dwell in
the uttermost acharit yam (the
extreme end of the sea);
|10| Even there shall Thy yad (hand)
lead me, and Thy yamin shall
hold me.
|11| If I say, Surely the choshech
(darkness) shall cover me, even the
lailah shall be ohr about me.
|12| Even the choshech is not
dark to Thee; but the lailah
shineth as the yom; the
choshech and the ohr are both
alike to Thee.
|13| For Thou hast created
my inmost being; Thou didst
interweave me in the beten
immi.
|14| I will praise Thee; for I
am fearfully and wonderfully
made; marvellous are Thy
ma'asim; and that my nefesh
knoweth very well.
|15| My atzamim (bones,
frame) were not hid from
Thee, when I was made
beseter (in secret), and
skillfully wrought in the
depths of the Eretz.
|16| Thine eyes did see my
golem (embryo), yet being
unformed; and in Thy Sefer
(Book) all the yamim (days)
ordained for me were written
down, when as yet there were
none of them.

Yes; where can we hide from our Elohim? The earth and heavens, and all that is in them,
HE has created. Does HE not know them all. HE knows the very thoughts of our heats,
Whether they be right of not.

>>Yonah 1:17 Now Yahuah had
prepared a dag gadol (great
fish) to swallow up Yonah.
And Yonah was in the belly of
the dag shloshah yamim and
shloshah leilot (three days and
three nights.

Even though Yonah had thought to run away and escape from the commission that Abba Yahuah
had given him; and even though a great fish had swallowed Ynoah, Abba Yahuah knew where
he was.

No matter where we go or what we do, we can not escape from Yahuah's presence. By the same
token; we also cannot escape HIS forgiveness if we are able to truly repent.

Yonah 2:1-2 Then Yonah
davened unto Yahuah
Elohav from out of the
dag's belly,
|2| (2:3)| And said, I cried by
reason of mine tzoros (affliction)
unto Yahuah, He heard me; out of
the belly of Sheol cried I, and
Thou heardest my voice.
|4| Then I said, I am cast
out of Thy sight; yet I will look
again toward Thy Heikhal
Kodesh.(The Temple)
[notice here; Yonah is making teshuvah]
|7| When my nefesh
fainted within me, I
remembered Yahuah; and my
tefillah came unto Thee, into
Thine Heikhal Kodesh.

|>>>>>8<<<<<|[Remember this verse]
They that observe lying vanities
forsake their own chesed.

Even though we sin and rebel [observing lying vanities] if we truly repent,
we can find mercy.

|10| And Yahuah spoke unto
HaDag (The Fish), and it vomited
out Yonah upon the yabashah (dry land).

Abba Yahuah is looking for servants to do HIS will. We can run, and we can try to hide.
But no matter where we go; HE knows where we are. HE knows if we are truly repentant.

Think on this; what would have happened to Yonah, had he not repented and called out to
Abba? More then likely; he would have become digested by the fish and Abba would have
called someone else to do the work of HIS commission.

Each and everyone of us who are called to do Abba Yahuah's work, are given HIS promises
as outlined above. Don't be fooled; we can lose our chance. WE can rebel, we are not robots.
We are called to make choices, Are we going to be obedietn to HIS calling for us, or are
we going to run and try to hide?

>>Ivrit/Hebrews 10:26-27 For when we
intentionally commit chet
b'yad ramah ["wilful sin with a
high hand of defiance"
BAMIDBAR 15:30] after
having received the full da'as
of HaEmes, there remains no
longer a korban for
chattoteinu,
|27| But only a terrible
expectation of Din and
Mishpat and of a blazing
EISH TZARECHA
TOKHLEM ("Fire that will
consume the enemies of
Hashem" YESHAYAH 26:11).

If we sin willfully, and defiantly after we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remains no more sacrifice for our sins. The Atonememnt of Yahusha is no longer
available to those who willfully sin and defianly refuse to repent.
THAT MY FRIENDS IS A VERY SCARRY ASPECT.

All that is left to us then is the Judgement for our defiance, and the fiery death of
the adversaries of Abba Yahuah!
