(Such as the fish in Jonah switches from masculine to feminine in Hebrew.)\n04:25 The fish: tomb or womb?\n05:51 Did Jonah's view of the fish change in retrospect? God's provision may look different than we're expecting.\n07:21 Two rabbit trails: the fish-historical narrative vs parable vs satire and womb-God's compassion.\n10:06 Parallel between Jonah's fish and the Christian fish symbol - Jesus is the means of deliverance.\n12:46 Typology: the parallel with baptism. The inexhaustible depths of how Jonah is connected to the entire Bible.\n20:30 Jonah chapter three: half-hearted obedience.\n22:51 Where many of us find ourselves: wanting to be obedient to God but not always for the right reasons. External Obedience + Internal Obstinance = Slavery.\n29:46 A comparison and contrast of walking through difficult seasons of obedience with what we see in Jonah.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/eGW0GjLFQWz3qpPjio-ji_5x5MOSNJlW79nf4VSHKIM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4Mzk3LzE2ODMw/MzYzMDItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
