What Was The Sign Of The Prophet Jonah

This is the Truth Network for action. I like like this where I do so love putting move interest together a whale of a tale today I what was the sign of the prophet Jonah.

I mean think about Jonah with me for a minute. As with review our intro for a second and kind of see where were headed heard that standby for action right we are about to launch stingray, anything can happen in the next half-hour. And oh yeah, I mean high adventure when it comes to Jonah you got admit there's some high adventure.

There must be some excerpts from a TV show from the 60s early 60s actually called stingray. But you can't help but note that we love to ride around in stingrays and four car people. I mean it's just part of the deal, and so right around and the fish is not a idea that you never thought about. Perhaps I don't know. But adventure seems to be part of the deal and then bear up barracuda right mean and Wilson from the group part. You might remember she may not of liked barricade at the point she wrote the song, but at one point she certainly thought he was an adventurer now. She was lamenting all that, and who could ever forget Kirk Douglas is yes, that was Kirk Douglas who was singing a whale detail. There is very short singing career there in 20,000 leagues under the Sea, but I don't want you to miss what he said at the end of that song, but he swears it's all true. I swear by my tattoo well this week.

My 20-year-old daughter called me in the middle of the day I met I don't know if you like me but I always take a call like that and she shocked me with the reason for her call. This is what she said.

She said daddy this manager that I work with the asked me do you really believe all that stuff in the Bible like how about that story of Jonah and the whale don't really believe that someone could live after being swallowed by fish for three days. Do you and she said that he was sincere and so I said yes of course I believe.

I really didn't mind my daughter's that I really didn't know what to say. It made me feel kinda bad I didn't have a better answer, but he was sincere daddy what possibly should've set so far all sorts of reasons. This conversation touched my heart and in the really good way yet. Naturally, the next question is what would you say I mean that question somebody is hits you with a sincere question like that. So this morning are asking you to call in and tell us what would you say if somebody said you don't really believe that you know a man could live in the belly of the fish for three days call us with your thoughts. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 I was a cosigner. Since toll-free only but about toll-free some years but anyway is toll-free if you're calling from home 866-34-TRUTH 87884 as a member to call in and tell us what would you set to that young man who was asking you don't really believe that's true. Well, as you might imagine, I've had a chance to think about this for three days, just marinate on it which just happens to be how long Jonah was in there three days is a long time and I actually have asked several other people.

The question I'm looking forward to your answers people: and that which I'm really really glad it 86486634878841 of the neat questions I think that's within that question is what Jesus mean when he said and he said of the number of times I think three and the evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of this of the prophet Jonah.

So what what is the sign of the prophet Jonah maybe got an answer for that. We would love to hear hearers we've got. JR is in Charlotte and he's got a comment on Jonah JR you're on the Christian card I show good morning. I will leave all the miracles that are on the water for 40 day water into wine little 1940 actually survive in a large three day element bound and he was barely breathing and he didn't know. As a result of that situation, but nevertheless an old proper medical treatment and whatever he would've survived, so that part doesn't survive me. But you know it's a miracle in general that people stumble on unit B a bush burning or whatever, but you know always been a fellow to watch sports and not seeing, you know, 28 point come back three and four minutes left the miracle as well. You complete the smallest of Christ miracles whether turning water into wine. You can leave most, but our biggest government block is not so much put your arms around miracles, but it except that Christ went into the and rose again, but is that the wisdom of man full of foolishness of God. Therefore, we have to accept Christ as fullness and after understand that miracles take place. They still take place.

They will always continue to take place as long as you're on this planet.

But yeah, wrap your arms around a finger in the word sometimes can be a stumbling block, but right that don't let me be as government block because you will be wild if you have a relationship with me is said that but I can agree with the more I find that whole thing really curious now you may have in view which we would love to hear how you get your minds mind around these miracles, 866-348-7884 or to you. What was the sign of the prophet Jonah that Jesus referred to these people would see what was@866-34-TRUTH 87884 almost would say that the sign that Jesus was referring to my love is really that right but there was good he was going to be in the tomb for three days and come out just like our colleges mentioned so that's that's one of them and hold on the data that's very precious and most likely is the one that Jesus was referring to, but I feel expander thoughts for a moment and and and except that there might be some other ones you know it that's an interesting journey.

I went on this. I've been setting this so I went to a Bible study on Thursday morning that I have attended for years and years and a good friend of mine is quite the biblical scholar shared some other cool things on Nineveh. Just like our colleges to which we would love to hear from you by the way, and he said that essentially the Ninevites. They worship to fish God and so Jonas Street crab will absorbs drastically when he comes out of the belly of his fish with his fish stories you see what I'm saying. And I've also heard others say, like the managers call that people bins followed by swallowed by fish and lived in fact there's one account of a man in England and he was bleached white by the stomach acids and the fish and he lost all his hair so EE might picture a walk in the street right and oh my goodness. I mean, here's this guy white as a ghost, no hair came off the fish when this guy and even worse benefits. Got all your life you know this guy has my attention. So the other thing that my friend mentioned that I hadn't really never thought about was Jonah led one of the biggest and fastest revivals in the history of the world. I mean, oh my goodness. We know at least write 120,000 people turn to the Lord. As a result of Jonah's preaching, so he obviously was very effective and I thought about that.

I went could this be the sign that Jesus was referring to perhaps the largest revival of Gentiles ever right.

Jesus's resurrection met three days in the tomb right led to the biggest revival of all time and again right under the judgmental Jewish nation's nose just like the other revival happened under Jonah's nose that he was not too happy about by the plant thing so we got a lot on the Jesus labor lovely out more on this adventure that John is gonna take us on a nesting grandma… Or some other method car that you thought about. So call us at 86634874 action to launch in the day on the Christian card. What was the sign of the prophet Jonah that and working to get to some call we got some wonderful colors and very excited about there to be with us in just a minute but I have to tell you talk about it miracles that we need Jesus labor love car repair for single moms widows and families in crisis were one of those families in Maryland I got word this week.

They lost their car in a rack and unfortunately they were uber drivers and so their car was her sense was to support and in the same week. Their grandfather died, which they had to help with the funeral and also his brother died and so there's a desperate need for car somebody might be in the Washington DC Maryland area that has a car that that many of the seller. They can't trade or whatever the situation is that this is one of several I got today and will get them at different times. The show but you know it really got desperate for him and he started to ask me and I don't have a way to get to my brothers funeral. Can you help me with the Rent-A-Car and so wow I mean we usually help out like $150 but for him to get the deposit on this Rent-A-Car and all the stuff is like over $200 so again it's a miracle we need it. You can be praying for it. If you want to help support that it's a Christian car guy.com Chris give you free Christian car guy T-shirt for gift of any amounts that Jesus labor love and just mark for that.

It's the for the gentleman in Maryland.

We got more stories like that coming up the next up were still on the story of Jonah. We got rock. I love that name in Archdale, North Carolina rockier on the Christian car.

Should the more I am excited to hear what you got. I think talk about miracles that got them a lot. We have to remember that when God has nation dire for the company equips that person. If you look at what happened with most 40 days and 49 eat or drink water so you know in our way of thinking. You can go without food or a longer time to go without water. So how does someone saying why 40 days without drinking one drop water and you bring you through that fasting. And and atomic temptation God provide things lie in order for people to accomplish things that he wants to do and outside the that any different than what happened three that is very cool rock appreciate your call and your comment and for your listening. Thank you. We have Sandy is in Renton, Washington Sandy are on the Christian card I show the morning good morning I met this story I think about Lazarus actually died and was raised back to life and died back to life and God. Jonah was used as an example of Christ.

And so I believe Jonah died in the belly of the whale and he was raised back to like and I cool. I read that this week my friend shared and I'm I'm so glad you shared that because I don't have it and when I was in a share. That's a neat interpretation, but the other thing I can't help but note, I'm sure you feel the same way Sandy is. I kinda died too and bringing me back to life was the gigantic miracles well will and we don't have a dialogue going into the crackle of the Lord and then awesome that is so awesome. I'm so glad you guys like, thank you for calling. That's a wonderful time unless I'm I'm so glad you called.

We would love your view, 866-348-7884 the whale of a tale. What would you say to somebody you didn't really believe that this guy was in the belly of the fish for three days you really believe that 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Well, if you reread the story, and I did actually this morning. I reread couple times this week. There are no this is just worth it to read that there are so many cool phenomenal conversations between Jonah and God and you will note that Jonah had a conversational intimacy with God. That is really unique.

I mean, and Jonah was no poser. I mean, he told got exactly what was on his mind, like Cain said. I'm not my brother's keeper will Jonah was like that. But listen to Jonah chapter 4 verse nine and 10 and listen to Jonah and God having a discussion here so that it says God said to Jonah is not good for you to be angry about the plan is said and Jonah says to God, I am angry enough to die but you love enemies not hiding it always that this is how I feel God and Adam and I said you had pity on the plant for which you did not labor or make it grow.

It appeared overnight encouraged overnight. Should I not have pity on then another great city is had more than 120,000 people do not know the right hand from the left which a lot of people think that's the kids over hundred and 20,000 kids, and that's really cool.

He says, and as well as many animals and so God tells Jonah a thing about the kids, are you thinking about the animals. I mean, there are many many many signs but did you ever consider this is really a cool shot assignments right here and and that is my sheep hear my voice and so here we have a conversation between Jonah and God and a Jonah not just tell God what he wants to hear.

So I believe that this might be just one of the signs is that you know Jesus made us made a way for us to hear God's voice so that Jonah would not be an exception, but an example of the kind a conversational intimacy that God had one of the coolest things is God is hanging out with this suicidal depressed narcissist. Any still loving God and try to bring him back to amazing Grace and so maybe I got a chance to when I'm depressed, narcissist, God still right there with him talking to something that we come back we got had in Charlotte will need your call 866-34-TRUTH 878844 action to launch way radios, discussing the miracles of Jonah and how would you answer somebody that is curious, which is cool but they're curious because they're saying something in you that they don't have in their wondering why you have it and that is faith so your ask why do you believe in these miracles of Jonah were to get to that in a minute. We got Hattie in Charlotte. We hope is hanging on for so we can hear her overview but I gotta tell you about another Jesus labor love single moms and widows and families in crisis. We had this application is weak again.

You can see all these are Christian car guy.com and see how to donate good teacher for a gift of any amount all at stuff as a Christian car guy.com with a single mom in Virginia also is a sober driver and also lost their car in Iraq and in this case is a special needs child at home and so here we are.

This is in the Virginia Beach area and Richmond Petersburg in the same thing. We need a car donation for them and she said she drive her over so she no longer has any income and their electric bill is past due and with the special needs son. I mean, you got a family that's in crisis might.

I should add I really should that as I talk to these folks their courage often impresses me. It's amazing as I pray with them.

I can sense their faith and mean.

I guess like John in the belly of that fish that the other still believe in God's gonna come to the rescue. We got Hattie is in Charlotte at ear on the Christian card I show good morning. It will take my call.

I'm excited to hear what you have the will will will extend but without God, believe that you get it in and out directly for proper refiling trust and a lot of violent hot air mean that any and that would be exactly which is is it's interesting that was my daughter's and you know the way you know I know God said it and I believe it in no doubt it's a lot harder to believe the story of Jesus, the God would send his son and killing him. Then it is to believe that whale would swallow somebody for three days so I email it faith you I think you had it on the head there Hattie.

Thank you.

Okay thank you. Oh, I'm so grateful for your call today for your listing. Alright, so maybe you've got some thoughts we would love to hear them. You might have another sign that you thought about was the sign of the prophet Jonah 866-348-7884's number to call it 866-348-7884. We would love to hear it so I keep thinking about the signs I've come across several in effect a road article today@thechristiancarguy.com that went through a lot of the stuff that I may not have a chance to get to all of it today, but will need meet signs for those car lovers out there was the adventure and I mean what an adventure. Jonah goes on with his friend God that it's fascinating to me.

When you look at the beginning of it. It says he was running from the presence of the Lord which indicate something. I remember one that he thinks he can run away from God would seem somewhat foolish but nonetheless you can help it also come to the conclusion he'd experienced the presence of the Lord.

Now, if you've experienced the presence of the Lord running away just doesn't seem like but I manages, shows the intimacy that one point in time Jonah had and by the way, the Jews teach that Jonah was really kind of a big deal prophet that he had anointed Jay who king of Israel and because of that he enjoyed a lot of favor in the in the kingdom there is is a big deal prophet in his time, so all of a sudden he's told to go to Nineveh and this is this is a difficult thing but I am thinking myself now if you knew I'm just asking if you knew that you could ride in the belly of the fish for three days and lived to tell about it when you kind of wonder what that would be like. I mean sort of added new adventure at Disney World new ride go on the Jonah fish experience what it meant. I mean, it had to be an adventure. But one of the things that you can't help but note is Jonah's comfort zone gets stretched way way way way beyond and that's part of why we go on adventures with God.

He always gonna stretch your comfort zone and he learns to trust God in ways that I'm sure only Jonah what he learns to trust Jonah and only ways that Jonah can do it and I bet you if you think about it, you probably been drowning at one time or another and you been in the belly of the fish for a few days and got had you on the place you like, or what am I doing here you know. And that's an amazing thing.

We got Duane is in Des Moines Iowa today to winder on the Christian card I show them on the monitor. Jonah and the whale interacting David Jeremiah Bible Bible I mentioned whale or the blue whale hundred feet long and have a mouth well good night night beat 12 feet wide.

Go to the water level. Everything and grab a air chamber that feet by 7' x 14' like the bedroom. I thought it interesting that with so whale if it picks up like them irritation like a barrel or something. It will go to a beach and spit it out. It's all documented on the blue soccer well a person could get into that air chamber, and he could live for three days until I got with the size of the bedrooms you not cramped. I'm not smelling good down there but now that's a reflection time well in an interesting thing is II it speaks to Jonah's prayer life again is what is he doing he gets there he start out Lord recognizing the logging control and interestingly, God talks to him later on about the plan, but when he's down there in the fish he got nothing that you ever noticed that when you're in the belly of the whale. It's hard to hear.

I'm sure God was Picard.

The other question I have during a minute this because I have a mind that this things are crazy things is who wrote the book interesting.

I think Jonah wrote it, but so humble God glory. A minute how many people would go to.

He went through and still couldn't print it out and I was a jerk I was I was crazy thinking and God came and I usually humble to be able to bail that stuff okay. So it was, I agree with you I think I segment this morning that the reason it's in the second person probably using all these big deal. Prophet had scribes and so he kind of dictated it and there you go, you know that is so cool. Thank you for your call and made my day to learn about the blue whale all day. David Jeremiah is not a bad idea. Thank you all right you may have thoughts we would love to hear them. 866-348-7884 866-34-TRUTH and baby gods taken on you you on an adventure at some point in time. As I mentioned on my goodness to the Jonas comfort zone gets stretched remains almost unbelievable. You know even the Christian card I show if you could have been involved in that conversation with God and live the night that he put it on my heart to do the show I was, not unlike Moses and God have you heard my voice you know this is not the voice of the radio person that emailed you that that the people go to college is what I really thought you guys to so ignorant I was like I think people go to college to learn how to talk to on the radio God and I've never been to college so I'm not the guy but I when I think about it you know I was running the other way and God brought me back to do the Christian card I show as but what an adventure it has been. I'm telling. I was in the mist and stretch my comfort zone because I was not a public speech so wow wow when God's gotcha.

He will provide and you get to go on a ride like a Marlin or stingray we come back so much more. Love your call 866-34-TRUTH 878 840 V, whale of a tale that he resurrected me when you think about it. How about you, we would love to hear your thoughts on Jonah and miracles 866-34-TRUTH 87884 we got Gerald and Dermot to get to in a minute but wanted to share another one of our Jesus labor love once it came in. I got several more can get tomorrow but I do want to share this one. This family wrote this week we are currently homeless. I was hurt.

Back in March lost my job and my house. My wife works but due to being homeless she is. Have to take been taken off the schedule. We have eight children and one child in the hospital due to severe schizophrenia disorder every dime we had ghosted getting a motel room so we can sleep and sometimes we have to sleep in our truck that's broke down while I'm thinking without the situation because we been working on it this week that we may be able to get them back on the road for hundred and $50. It's amazing how God provides. Sometimes with both people to help and he provides the money every bit as big a miracle look at the obstacles that were up against. And God gives us a chance to walk in that I got Gerald in Durham talk about Jonah Gen. you're on the Christian card I show good morning tell me your thoughts all got married and everything else divorced and I had went on to short-term trips to the children so central America finally committed to go down there to treat trail style or slick left long was that it started out going down naturally, God's plan to explore how good moral waistline. Your return flight going by air and found I was going to supposedly under Guatemalan goalie now evidently I had during lunch. I needed for God's showing that the lawyer was a car carrier that could carry 300 cars of authority. Tractor-trailers and that the place like a cruise ship. No ticket was $85 thought I was just being blessed to know and because I included all meals but dollars and 57 extra pocket going through a four star restaurant known for any greatly do that. The first night know the Lord or star. The next dog I have posted the center to Cheryl watch some ridiculous movies but I was not all recovered enough to find out the very much most of the way down there one Angela gone out and they were delighted they had got the permits go under Guatemalan bullies.

So we all get often longer.

While I somebody on board under US got a couple of periodicals at all until another monitor order and wonder his family have been spent on record 30 volunteer article I can find any other way. My get there by bus so nothing materialized in almost all the doctors pickup truck onto San Pedro Solo Eurostyle and and three truckloads of stock they could find out of customs or employee suddenly realized all the road construction got divided highway and God we will roll along side look to talk to.

Going to try to come in Jordan to drive my feet and he jumped up all Apollo stocking builder popular trucking jewelry told pulled over, got back a little. I saw the road for God's children second bar station was a little better than the first class center wash all my plaques because people are still my bags good care of all you want and more strained and talking Spanish looking at me and talking looking at looking at me and downsized clearly that allows blood because all young man 1 g to back out of my answer. Let me help you set out the rest you speak in English. Start God you're in control of trust government bonds were Guatemalan students first year college, and under in University required like your English so that I have somebody to talk to their English. So we got to the court order you want the order workers. 6 o'clock in the morning, they got our passports and installed through everybody else that I can't bear to the Boston Guatemalan got off Dr. Guatemalan found the log and with the donkey land on the stock. California got a big good aspect actually mind what you want to go all curriculum about protocol and accustomed to get the passport changed everything government start, God had a Spanish guy around a pole. The wagon was a file circle knowing that he had a photo going to believe, and I needed to go with Neil thought that light all sound want to get there. Got started going through the lot of folks carrying all the good part of Barrios overture believed they were not industrial though mostly Guatemalan imports. The bombs on someone called one night you know Guatemalan. It was all Apollo's are not known for one of the store and buy groceries from my body and managed guy was one of his workers and Artie had luck I got there because all the way got just wandered about got down in the hold all miracles well and found a Scandinavian name. The name one of the crewmembers and found out the head originally started in the North Sea, killing 1200 people dear to some of the seals on the doorway on black and have established and installed in the Caribbean because nobody trusted also filed out the opening and go out of their initial origin. Etiquette started back to so I was grateful to God was gone, and you are going to believe that they will not work that offers and ponder the motel that dog started barking Guatemalan in my plaques to all started walking the child to get some groceries and there was a Mr. they figured out they a little like going out and see what happened. Gerald you are in the belly of the fish. So thank you for sharing, frivolity, and God bless you.

Well I can tell you one thing I know for sure that the story of Jonah is a love story mean God love Jonah. He loved hundred and 20,000 Ninevites who did know the right from the left and even mentions the animal any love them unconditionally, so don't miss that that love didn't change the rules. The bad repent and turn back their wickedness turned back to daddy right Jesus. Jesus gave us@all right and we need to believe it, which gets back to my daughter's answer which I don't think was so bad, is to simply yes I believe that I mean how cool is that. And I am believing that we had some amazing call today. I'm so grateful for all of the damned Christian card.

I remember the Jesus labor, love, car repair, labor, single moms, widows and families in crisis all@christiancardi.com
