Thus, would Jonah be that close to God as to have such anger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1:5 I note that unlike the notes presented in the Redeemer's Men's fellowship, I think that Jonah was never not afraid to die. Not in the storm, not in the fish, and definitely not in his ministry in Nineveh. Thus it explains how he could deeply be asleep. Thus, I don't see any punishment from God, not in the storm, not in the fish, against Jonah, but mere calling, based on his unique relationship with God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though this is not part of my daily OT\/NT reading plan.
