Q: Is the Bible story about Jonah and the whale an allegory or a literal account?
A: After the story of Jonah and the whale began to be told, millions have had the chance to feel it, worldwide, as either an exaggerated fish story or a Biblical possibility with their own salvation intertwined. And while this IS an account about a great sea creature, it is NOT a fish story. It is so much more! It is the account of man going back to the sea from whence he came through source (evolution), to receive God Almighty, his Creator, for his ‘re’-creation. To imagine that the sea has a reconstructive ability IS to imagine and recreate that God Almighty – our Creator – has the ability to undo the sequence of events that have plagued mankind throughout our evolution history; throughout our history of upheaval. Now, some may say that the time of three days and three nights in the belly of the whale is just a coincidence in that it matches Jesus’ time in the tomb. It is not. It is exactly the same amount of time given to all those who accept that their Creator is God Almighty rather than source (evolution). So when God Almighty saw that Jonah was ready to be redeemed, he saw to it that a whale – a mammal! – took in Jonah to be prepared. He broke Jonah’s will to survive on land alone by making Jonah swallow his own pride while being escorted to the shores of redemption. Whereas the whale’s intestines secreted a bile that was willful, it was with God’s plan of redemption that the whale would blow out of its air hole all that Jonah suffered and draw in through its mouth all that Jonah needed from Earth’s rich oceans to be reborn. After three days and three nights the mind of Jonah had been reborn! As miraculously, the body of Jonah had stopped its suffering and resurged on land. And just as the prophet Ezekiel knew would be, Jonah became the man whom all humans would follow. Whenever YOU are ready to be reborn, know that deep within your heart there exists an atomic make-up that survives all manmade weapons of mass destruction. There is a mechanism of love that is stronger than all else! For in this passageway of believing in the story of Jonah, you too get to come home through the story of mammals born of the oceans of love!
To this day mammals in the sea hold dear to their loved ones, created for our minds to see and our hearts to feel. Believe in the story of Jonah and his savior, the whale, and you will see for yourself why Jesus came to save those of us on land who hardly ever spend the time to hear our Mother’s womb: the ocean.
Believe and come home,
