1 Joonalle, Amittain pojalle, tuli tämä Herran sana:

2 "Nouse, mene Niiniveen, siihen suureen kaupunkiin, ja saarnaa sitä vastaan; sillä heidän pahuutensa on noussut minun kasvojeni eteen".

3 Mutta Joona nousi paetaksensa Tarsiiseen Herran kasvojen edestä ja meni alas Jaafoon ja löysi laivan, joka oli lähtevä Tarsiiseen. Ja hän suoritti laivamaksun ja astui siihen mennäkseen heidän kanssansa Tarsiiseen, pois Herran kasvojen edestä.

4 Mutta Herra heitti suuren tuulen merelle, niin että merellä nousi suuri myrsky ja laiva oli särkymäisillään.

5 Niin merimiehet pelkäsivät ja huusivat avuksi itsekukin jumalaansa. Ja he heittivät mereen tavarat, mitä laivassa oli, keventääkseen sitä. Mutta Joona oli mennyt alas laivan pohjalle ja pannut maata, ja hän nukkui raskaasti.

6 Niin laivuri tuli hänen luoksensa ja sanoi hänelle: "Mitäs nukut? Nouse ja huuda jumalaasi. Ehkäpä se jumala muistaa meitä, niin ettemme huku."

7 Ja he sanoivat toisillensa: "Tulkaa, heittäkäämme arpaa, saadaksemme tietää, kenen tähden tämä onnettomuus on meille tullut". Mutta kun he heittivät arpaa, lankesi arpa Joonalle.

8 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Ilmoita meille, kenen tähden tämä onnettomuus on meille tullut. Mikä on toimesi ja mistä tulet? Mikä on sinun maasi ja mistä kansasta olet?"

9 Hän vastasi heille: "Minä olen hebrealainen, ja minä pelkään Herraa, taivaan Jumalaa, joka on tehnyt meren ja kuivan maan".

10 Niin miehet peljästyivät suuresti ja sanoivat hänelle: "Miksi olet tehnyt näin?" Sillä miehet tiesivät, että hän oli pakenemassa Herran kasvojen edestä; hän oli näet ilmaissut sen heille.

11 He sanoivat hänelle: "Mitä on meidän tehtävä sinulle, että meri tulisi meille tyveneksi?" Sillä meri myrskysi myrskyämistänsä.

12 Hän vastasi heille: "Ottakaa minut ja heittäkää minut mereen, niin meri teille tyventyy. Sillä minä tiedän, että tämä suuri myrsky on tullut teille minun tähteni."

13 Miehet soutivat päästäkseen jälleen kuivalle maalle, mutta eivät voineet, sillä meri myrskysi vastaan myrskyämistänsä.

14 Ja he huusivat Herraa ja sanoivat: "Voi, Herra, älä anna meidän hukkua tämän miehen hengen tähden äläkä lue syyksemme viatonta verta, sillä sinä, Herra, teet, niinkuin sinulle otollista on".

15 Sitten he ottivat Joonan ja heittivät hänet mereen, ja meri asettui raivostansa.

16 Ja miehet pelkäsivät suuresti Herraa, uhrasivat Herralle teurasuhrin ja tekivät lupauksia.

17 (H2:1) Mutta Herra toimitti suuren kalan nielaisemaan Joonan. Ja Joona oli kalan sisässä kolme päivää ja kolme yötä.

505. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their bodies for three and a half days. (11:9) This symbolizes all those who were or who would be caught up in doctrinal falsities and the resulting evil practices at the end of the church still existing, when they have heard and later hear about these two essential elements at the beginning of the New Church, namely, an acknowledgment of the Lord and of works in accordance with the Ten Commandments.

Peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations mean all those of the Protestant Reformed who were or who would be caught up in doctrinal falsities and the resulting evil practices owing to their faith alone. Peoples symbolize people caught up in doctrinal falsities (no. 483), tribes the falsities and evils in the church (no. 349), tongues a confession and acceptance of these (no. 483), and nations people caught up in evil practices (no. 483). Therefore the four together symbolize all those individually and collectively who were or who would be of such a character, thus all those who were in that great city and all those like them who would later come from the world.

The bodies that they would see, those of the two witnesses, symbolize the two essential elements of the New Church, as said in no. 501 above. That they would see them means, symbolically, when they have heard and later hear about them, since it is bodies that are said to be seen, and the two essential elements that are heard.

Three and a half days mean, symbolically, at the end and then the beginning, namely, at the end of the church still existing and the beginning of a new one.

Putting all these things together now into a single meaning, it is apparent that "those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their bodies for three and a half days" has, in the spiritual sense, the symbolic meaning stated above.

Three and a half days mean, symbolically, at the end and then the beginning because a day symbolizes a state, the number three symbolizes something completed to the end, and a half symbolizes a new beginning. For three and half days have the same symbolic meaning as a week, six days of which symbolize something completed to the end, and the seventh day something holy. That is because the number three and a half is one half of seven, and seven days constitute a week; and a number doubled or divided has the same symbolic meaning.

[2] That the number three symbolizes something completed, thus something completed to the end, can be seen from the following accounts in the Word:

That Isaiah was to go naked and barefoot for three years (Isaiah 20:3).

That Jehovah called three times to Samuel, and Samuel ran three times to Eli, and that the third time Eli understood (1 Samuel 3:1-8).

That Elijah stretched himself out three times on the widow's son (1 Kings 17:21).

That Elijah ordered that water be poured on the burnt sacrifice three times (1 Kings 18:34).

That Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal (Matthew 13:33).

That Jesus told Peter he would deny Him three times (Matthew 26:34).

That the Lord asked Peter three times, "Do you love Me?" (John 21:15-17).

That Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights (Jonah 1:17).

That Jesus said He would destroy the Temple and in three days build it (Matthew 26:61, John 2:19)

That Jesus prayed three times in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39-44).

That Jesus rose on the third day (Matthew 28:1ff.).

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 16:14; Hosea 6:2; Exodus 3:18; 10:22-23; 19:1, 11, 15-16, 18; Leviticus 19:23-25; Numbers 19:11-22; 31:19-24; Deuteronomy 19:2-4; 26:12; Joshua 1:11; 3:2; 1 Samuel 20:5, 12, 19-20, 35-36, 41; 2 Samuel 24:11-13; Daniel 10:1-3; Mark 12:2, 4-6; Luke 20:12; 13:32-33.

Seven, like three, symbolizes something full and complete, but seven is predicated of holy things, while three is predicated of things not holy.

1 Yahweh said to Moses,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am Yahweh your God.

3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.

4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Yahweh your God.

5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

6 "'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.

7 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

8 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife: it is your father's nakedness.

9 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.

10 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.

11 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

12 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman.

13 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.

14 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.

15 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

16 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.

17 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18 "'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.

19 "'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

20 "'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.

21 "'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh.

22 "'You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.

23 "'You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

24 "'Don't defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);

28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29 "'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am Yahweh your God.'"
