Beloved, we are still discussing the significance of the figure three in the Holy Bible and what it means to, us as Christians.

Let’s have a look at the story of Jonah.

Jonah 1 vs. 1-3 ( KJV) : “ Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

Arise go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD”.

Jonah had an assignment but he chose not to carry it out. Rather, he chose to flee from the presence of God.

His act of disobedience attracted heavy sanctions from God. Verse 4 of the same chapter states: “ But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken”.

Those with whom he was in the ship found out that Jonah was the reason, the ship was about to sink.

They decided to take an action to save their own lives.

Verse 15: “ So, they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea eased from her raging”.

Though, Jonah was disobedient, God still showed mercy.
