The Jonah's Prophecy

 

 

"גל עיני ואביטה נפלאות מתורתך"

"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law"

Psalms 119, 18

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bible prophet of the Jonah son Amittaja אמתי from a town Gath Ahepher החפר גת (digger wine - press), that was in possession of the tribe of Zebulun. - Joshua 19: 10 - 17: Rabbi Shimon, the author Zohar, considered (Zohar, Vaikahel, leaf 197a) that Jonah named by the "son true" אמתי, according words "a word of the Creator in your lips - true אמת" that one widow has told Elijah after he has recovered her son. (Kings 1, 17, 24)

 

Jonah is known for that he has uttered words of the God about restoration of Israeli (northern) Kingdom full volume for the period of reign king Jarovama 2 (784 - 743) ירבעם. - Kings 2, 14, 23 - 28.

 

And still the prophet Jonah has written the book how has received the order from the Creator to go in

Ninway, נינוה city huge, and to preach against it, "their wickedness has come up before me",

But the prophet did not believe that inhabitants of Nineveh will repent,

And tried to run away from this command by sea, "Tarshishah” to Tarshish".

 

Northern kingdom of Israel has existed after reign of King Jarovama 2 only 20 years until 720 year, and Assyria has destroyed it and has withdrawn in exile of its inhabitants. Clearly, that Assyria did not correct herself. To tell the truth Nineveh has fallen in 612 y. The Babylon empire has risen. 

 

And what repentence has done by the nations of the world during ancient times, is far away from us.

In fact, they have selected to themselves the way of selfishness and could not refuse the way of evil.

In fact, only descendants of group Abraham, Isaac, Jacob have gone by correction.

 

The LORD, however, hurled a violent wind upon the sea, and in the furious tempest

that arose; the ship was on the point of breaking up. - Jonah, 1: 4:

 

But the LORD sent a large fish, that swallowed Jonah;

And he remained in the belly of the fish three days and three nights: - Jonah, 2: 1:

 

Waters have grasped me up to depths of soul, the chasm has surrounded me, with a reed has twisted a head my. - Jonah, 2: 6:

 

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple. - Jonah, 2: 8:

 

After that, the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land: - Jonah, 2: 11:

 

After that, was…

 

1. The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:

 

2. "Set out for the great city of Ninway,

And announce to it the message that I will tell you."

 

3. So Jonah made ready and went to Ninway, according to the LORD' bidding.

Now Ninway was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it.

 

4. Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day's

Walk announcing, "Forty days more and Ninway shall be destroyed."

 

5. Now the people of Ninway believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them,

great and small, put on sackcloth.

 

6. When the news reached the king of Ninway, he rose from his throne,

Laid aside, his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.

 

7. Then he had this proclaimed throughout Ninway, by decree of the king

And his nobles: "Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything;

They shall not eat, nor shall they drink water.

 

8. but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

 

9. Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath so that

We shall not perish."

 

10. When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, He repented of the evil that He had threatened to do to them; He did not carry it out.

- Jonah, 3: 1-10:

 

11. And should I not be concerned over Ninway, the great city,

in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot distinguish their right hand from their left, not to mention the many cattle?" - Jonah, 4: 1:

 

However, that tempest rages till this day, and all of Israel are swallowed up by the Exile and cannot escape it, the truth now the center of it has moved on the land of Israel. About what the prophet of the Jonah has told?

That his descendant by name the Jonah will go in future times for Ninway, and will manage to convince the population to refuse a way of evil.

 

The prophet Jonah in his book has ciphered secret, what is such “three days and three nights” in a belly of a fish, and what such tarseasah תרשישה, that such Nineveh נינוה, that such three days of a way, that such forty days of a way, that such 120 thousands.

 

This is interpretation.

 

The “three days and three nights” in a belly of a fish also means the three Exiles of Israel:  To Egypt, to Babylon and the last exile throughout the world. Israel will bring to fruition its task only after the third Exile - not to follow other peoples but to correct its spirit by itself.

 

The "tarseasah" is a compound word from words "tar and seasah שׂישׂה + תר",

“tar תר" - it is "to look out for" in a Hebrew, "Seasah שישה" is the joy of life. People of Israel were gone in the storming sea to look out for the joy! In fact, wise men of Israel comprehended a method of correction souls named by Wisdom of the Kabbalah.

 

“Who are these that fly as a cloud and as the doves (Jonahs) to their cotes:

Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarseasah first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD thy God,

And for the Holy One of Israel, because He hath glorified thee:” – Isaiah, 60:9:

 

The "Ninway נינוה", - as a compound word, Nin + Way, וה + נין

Nin, נין, - it means "descendant" in a Hebrew,

Way, וה, is also the descendant, but in our root, in an spiritual world, -

It is a part of the Name of the Creator יהוה, the two last letters are responsible for the creation of these descendants.

That is, "Ninway" is all of humanity with his spiritual root.

 

Three days of a way is as it is usual, three years,

For this time the message will be spread upon the world,

That in forty years this world will be destroyed.

 

A hundred and twenty thousand persons - all these thousands will live up to 120 years.

 

Mankind has an alternative:  Either everyone begins to correct his soul from hatred for each other, or in forty years this world is to be destroyed.

I believe, we will not want our world to be destroyed so soon.

 

The countdown began from the holiday of Purim, 2007.

 

As far as We know the plan of the Creator resulted in His Torah, as a precept was carried out

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:” Leviticus, 19, 18:

 

This precept, since the times of a great wise man, Rabbi Akiva, is considered as the main precept of Torah. As to us, with difficulty, we will get rid of our egoistical desires to love only ourselves and to use those near us with a view to self-pleasure, but not for feedback. So, the majority of peoples hate each other; do not see the greatness of return to good.

But henceforth, before us, the new reality has opened: 

Either for some years we during which shall learn to Love each other,

or else in forty years we shall destroy this world with its root.

 

 

At last, we shall open Shakespeare’s last play, “The Tempest.” The plot is fantastic:  

The wizard Prospero and his daughter Miranda live in exile on a certain island. 

He was deprived of his title and expelled from Milan. The name of the wizard Prospero is possible to interpret in Hebrew, as someone who developed of the lot: פורשׂפרו = פרושׂ + פור. And he successfully develops פורשׂ a lot, פור, a homecoming. Ariel, the spirit under his authority, has directed a storm upon

the sea, "hurled a violent wind upon the sea and in the furious tempest that arose, the ship was on the point of breaking up: " - Jonah, 1: 4: The ship of opponents was wrecked according to Prospero’s plan. As result, the main enemy repented.

 

My explanation of the main thing is in the plot.

Prospero has been expelled from Milanמילן, where they spoke the sacred language created by Him

the Hebrew language, where words are named by a word Mila מילה - and He is the expelled Jewish God who will come back to Zion together with sweet-smelling Miranda, His Chosen People. 

 

I wrote about this play in an article "The Miraculous Spear." According to the article,

it will be become good in 2014. Now we are in the year 2007.

Seven more years will pass and, May be, we shall choose a way of love!

 

The difficult task stands before us, but we shall take this world from a deep hole!

 

We leave darkness towards light!!!

 

 

With a love multiplied by five

All, spread information about this danger

Haim Jonah
