Jonas 1:1-17 NVIPT

The Biblical Illustrator - Jonah 1:17

John 1:17And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.The crux of the miracleThe real miracle was that Jonah should survive so long in his strange prison. “That violates the laws of nature.” But let us once understand Christ’s profound saying about a Father who “worketh hitherto” (John 5:17), that is, who has never taken His hand from off the thing which He has created, but is ceaselessly active and operative in His creation. Once let us understand that all force, in the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:1

Jon 1:1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Ver. 1. Now the word of the Lord came ] Heb. And the word For with that particle "And" the Hebrews sometimes begin a discourse, as Eze 1:1 Leviticus 1:1 , an elegance proper to that tongue. Howbeit Hugo Cardinalis maketh this "And," not an inceptive particle, but a copulative to many other things that were in the prophet’s mind. Others conceive it to be continuative of some other history not now extant; or at least... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:2

Jon 1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Ver. 2. Arise, go to Nineveh ] Haec est vocatio prophetae, saith Oecolampadius: this was the prophet’s call, which he should have obeyed without bucking or shucking, delays or disputes, conferring, or consulting with flesh and blood, Galatians 1:16 . True it is, that in human governments, where reason is shut out, there tyranny is thrust in. As in the papacy (where the whore sitteth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:3

Jon 1:3 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. Ver. 3. But Jonah rose up to flee, &c. ] i.e. He made haste (more haste than good speed) to disobey God. Homo est inversus decalogus. The natural man standeth across to the will of God; "being abominable, disobedient, and to every good... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:4

Jon 1:4 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. Ver. 4. But the Lord sent out ] Heb. cast forth, sc. out of his treasuries, Psalms 135:7 , wherehence he sendeth at his pleasure mighty great winds which he (the only Aeolus) holdeth in his fist, hideth in his repositories, checketh them as he seeth good, weighs them in his hand, Job 28:25 ; sends them out as his posts, makes them pace orderly, appoints... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:5

Jon 1:5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea, to lighten [it] of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. Ver. 5. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god ] Forced by the present necessity, first these stout fellows were surprised with fear; neither could they look pale death in the face with blood in their cheeks. Death is the "king... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:6

Jon 1:6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. Ver. 6. So the shipmaster came unto him ] God might have come himself with his drawn sword (as Baanah and Rechab did upon sleeping Ishbosheth) and taken off his head, or have sent an evil angel to arouse him in a fright, or have thrown him into the burning lake, as Agrippa did his dormouse a into the boiling caldron; but... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:7

Jon 1:7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil [is] upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Ver. 7. And they said every one to his fellow ] When Jonah had now prayed, and yet the tempest continued, (for we know that God heareth not sinners, John 9:31 ; no, not a David or a Jonah, if he "regard iniquity in his heart," Psalms 66:18 ; how should the plaster prevail while the weapon remains in the wound?) they... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:8

Jon 1:8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil [is] upon us; What [is] thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what [is] thy country? and of what people [art] thou? Ver. 8. Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause, &c. ] He confessed not till urged and necessitated. Sin gags people, and prompts them to hide their faults, as Adam; or at least to mince, extenuate, shift them upon other persons and things, as Eve. Sin and shifting came into the world... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 1:9

Jon 1:9 And he said unto them, I [am] an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry [land]. Ver. 9. And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew ] i.e. A true believer, as was Eber the patriarch, Genesis 10:21 , and, after him, Abram the Hebrew, as he is called, Genesis 14:13 . This name of Hebrews, as it was the first title given to Abraham and his seed, so it endureth one of the last, 2Co 11:22 Philippians 3:5 ; Epistle to the Hebrews, title. And I fear... read more
