Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jonah 1:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. cast me . . . into the sea —Herein Jonah is a type of Messiah, the one man who offered Himself to die, in order to allay the stormy flood of God's wrath (compare Psalms 69:1 ; Psalms 69:2 , as to Messiah), which otherwise must have engulfed all other men. So Caiaphas by the Spirit declared it expedient that one man should die, and that the whole nation should not perish ( Psalms 69:2- : ). Jonah also herein is a specimen of true repentance, which leads the penitent to "accept the punishment of his iniquity" ( Leviticus 26:41 ; Leviticus 26:43 ), and to be more indignant at his sin than at his suffering. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
