In the final episode of Season 3, we explore the story of Jonah and the Whale through five layers of meaning: literal, theological, moral, eschatological, and symbolic. 🐳 We look at Assyria’s historical setting, Jonah’s role in God’s mission, and the challenge of aligning our will with the Divine. ✨ We also trace themes like the number 40, the Leviathan, and the hero’s journey, showing how Jonah’s descent and return foreshadow the pattern fulfilled in Christ. 🙏 Together, we uncover how this ancient story invites us into a deeper way of reading Scripture beyond the merely literal. 📖
