Jonah, Jesus and Paul

[Clare73]

The book of "Jonah" is interesting and while reading thru it again, the word of YHWH coming to him a "second time" after being vomited up made me think of Saul/Paul when the Lord Jesus appeared to Him after His ascension.
Interesting also that the Ninevites are mentioned being "resurrected" in the judgement. Could Saul/Paul be a type of "Jonah" as Jesus was? Just curious and any views on this are appreciated. Thanks.

Well, in the way you present them, Jesus and Paul would be anti-types, and Jonah would be the type.

Biblical typology is of Jesus only.

I don't know. All types typically lead to Jesus, but not so by definition.

True, there are types of Satan and types in events.

Jesus was the sign of Jonah up until the belly of the whale . Paul carries the sign of Jonah in his ministry to the gentiles taking boats .. even to Tarshish

Good post and I will study more on that..........

Jonah 1:
4 The LORD hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up. 5 Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep. 6 So the captain approached him and said, "How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, call on your god. Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish."…

Matthew 8:
23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"…

Acts 20:
18 The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo; 19 and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.…21 When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, "Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss. 22 "Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.…

Not sure I understand. Can you elaborate?
