WHALE by Stevie
Boot
The purpose in writing this
article is share some teaching
about one of the most profound
and yet misunderstood prophets
of the bible; Jonah. It is my
belief that his experiences with
God and the message that he
gives to the nations, will again be
repeated within the end times
church and Israel.
The name Jonah in Hebrew means
"Dove”, he symbolizes the ministry of
the Holy Spirit declaring reconciliation
between God and the world. Just as
"the dove” returns to Noah in the ark
from the waters and as it descended
upon Jesus during his river baptism; so
"Jonah," brings a salvation message
over the backdrop of immersion in the
waters symbolism used within the
passages.
For there is within Jonah a number of
significant words in Hebrew that play
on one another, either in terms of
being repeated, sounding similar
and/or context. Hence in grasping
some of the nuances of these key
chapter three at Nineveh. We get insight to the fourth
“salvation “chapter, by looking at the way it echoes’s from
chapter two, when Jonah was delivered in the great fish. To
not include the importance of structure and symbolism in
interpretation, results in a tendency then for the intended
message to get diminished. That's why sadly, even in largely
Evangelical circles, Jonah’s teaching gets sidelined to a kind
of comic book story. A kind of grumpy, reluctant old man
tale ; rather than an echo of the foreshadowing ministry of
The Messiah to come.
Jonah's importance is further underlined by two significant
uses of the book. The first is that he is read and studied by the
Jewish people for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The
Orthodox Artscroll commentary on "Yonah", states that this
small book speaks to the concepts of repentance, atonement,
and forgiveness, which underlie Judaism. In other words it
gives a revelatory glimpse to the nature of God's forgiveness,
his means of atonement and a symbolic story of the sacrifices
necessary to redeem Israel and the nations.
The second importance is given by Yeshua himself, who
refers to it as a means to understanding his own sacrifice
(Matthew 12:40)" For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge
fish three days and three nights , so the Son of Man will be in
the heart of the earth three days and three nights ." (HCSB) .
It also speaks significantly to the coming spiritual judgment
of an unrepentant generation/ people of God . (Luke
11:29)..“ This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for
a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of
Jonah. “(NASB)
For our purposes we are going to concentrate our attention
on the story of the plant that occurs in the last main chapter of
the book. And in particular the use of three significant
Hebrew words . Hopefully it will give some insight on what
Jonah is trying to speak to in this curious book.

The word used for the plant that grows up over Jonah
(giving relief over the Israelite) is Qiqayon . It is possibly
derived from the root word; qayah, meaning to vomit,
disgorge or cast up. It can be linked to the salvation narrative
