Jonah, Jonah, Jehonah, that is, the rebellious prophet. Now we're going to see God dealing with him. And sometimes maybe you can see God dealing with your own lives this same way and with people that you have known. The great storm. Now, I want you to realize that the people in Bible days were very superstitious. And when Jesus was out on the Sea of Galilee, and the great storm started, they always believed that there was a Leviathan down in the bottom of the Lake Sea of Galilee. It was a lake, and actually not a sea, but it did have salt water in it, some. And this great leviathan at the bottom of the sea guarding the gates of hell, of prophet Cheol, that he would stir up the waters and cause a great storm. And when Jesus sealed the storm on there, they thought that he had power over the leviathan of the deep. And so now, as we study here, And see this going on, I want you to understand that the people always thought the storm came from something supernatural. That something supernatural, if the storm hit them, that somebody was doing something wrong or whatever. And of course, in this case, somebody was doing something wrong. The great leviathans, Jeremiah 6, 10 to 21 and 25. Acts 27-13, Romans 1, 18-32, these are all cross-references to this, where we are here. Psalm 107, 23-28, 135, 6-7. Ha-Dabar, Hotel, Ruah, Gedolah, El, Hagan, Vahi, Saar, Yadol, Vayom, Wi, Ha, Ya, Ni, Ha, Kish, Shiva, Li, Kish, Shavar, Shavar, and here it says, and, Wi, or Wa, Hathabar, or, or, or, and Jehovah, the conjunction on the front of that, and Jehovah, Hothel, he had cast, third person, masculine, singular, hyphal, perfect, he had cast, to, and this means to cast violently, that word, third person, masculine, singular, hyphal, it comes from ta'al, ta'al, and 376 and 373 in the 1st Tractive Bound Driver of Brake Seat 376, and Coulter and Baumgartner in 373. And then we have the Ruach. Now, sometimes the word Ruach means spirit and it talks about Spirit God. Okay, now, is Spirit God involved here? And He cast the Holy Spirit. or wind. Now in Genesis 1 and 2 in the Jewish Publications Society Bible it said a wind from God passed over the waters and the chaos of the deep. Well here is possibly Spirit God, Spirit God great or a wind great. The law, when the great, unto, little preposition there, page 39, unto the ha-yom, the ha-yom. It literally means the waters, the sea, the Mediterranean Sea. Ha-yom, the sea. Now we know where it is, it's out there in the Mediterranean Sea. Where is he? Let's look at this again. He's in the Mediterranean Sea. Let me get this a little closer to the camera up here. He took off here in this area right there. And he's going out here and he's going to go all the way over here to Spain or Tarsus. Somewhere between here and here is a great storm. So there's where we are. And we have this great storm.

And that happened. Maryland, we were out in the ocean quite a few times, weren't we? We went out in the ocean a lot. I remember going out there in the ocean one time, and the sea was really bad. The winds were blowing, the boat was just bouncing all over the place, and just like this, I couldn't stand up. I had to crawl on the deck back there. I couldn't stand up. And I got back there, and mirrors and tears were just going down her eyes, and I said, sweetheart, I said, sweetheart, do you want to go back in? She said, let's fish. I'll never forget that. Let's fish. She was determined to fish. Even though she was scared and tears were coming down her eyes, she said, let's fish. These people here didn't say, let's fish. They said, whoa, whoa, whoa. The boat's going to be broken up. I'm going to tell you what, it's not easy to steer a boat in that kind of weather. It isn't either. Up and down, 20 foot swell. I've been in 100 foot swells.

He's telling them, this is my God, the one who created the heavens and the earth. And He has made, sign of direct object, the sea, ha-yom, the waters, and we-et, and then sign of direct object, and the dry land, and then ha-ya-ba-sha, and the dry land. He created the heavens, He created the seas, and He created the dry land. This is my God. This is who I am now. Immediately, they believed Him. There is no arguing with Him. What do you mean? Your God is Jehovah and He's the One who created the heavens and the earth. They didn't say that. They didn't start debating with Him. Theologically, they just believed Him. They believed Him. They believed. By the power of the Holy Spirit of God, this man was called to go to Nineveh. He did not go. He went down to Joppa and he paid the price of a ticket on this ship to Spain or Tarsus, Spain and Italy and that area. And he's on the boat there with them. And then God is causing this great storm and winds to blow upon them and they're scared to death. They know that the ship's going to be completely destroyed. They've already thrown over the valuable cargo that they've been paid to carry. And now they're trying to figure out who in the world what's caused this. And so they come to this guy. He said, it's me. It's me. I am Hebrew. I'm one of those people from beyond the river. And my God is Jehovah, the one that created the heavens and the earth. He's not your He's not your asterisk. He's not any of these other things that they started. He is not Venus. He's not Jupiter. He's Jehovah. And Jehovah is in control of these waters today. It's not a leviathan out there stirring up the deep. It's the God of heaven. That's the rest of the story. Our Father, we come to you, we thank you for your message, for your word. Help us to be obedient to you. Help us so we don't have to send storms in our lives or anything like that to get our attention. Or a big leviathan to swallow us and we die and go down to Sheol. Help us be hearers and listeners and doers for your honor and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, and please forgive me for our failure.
