INTRODUCTION. Jonah, meaning dove or pigeon. Old Testament names were often expressive of the nature of the person so named. He prophesied in the days of Jeroboam II. 2 Kings 14:25 The son of Amittai, meaning the truth of Jehovah. He originated from Gath-hepher, meaning, the wine press of the two wells, or the double portion. The double portion is indicative of revival, and Jonah most certainly was involved in one. There are two great experiences recorded in the book concerning his life and ministry. The Three day and three nights spent in the belly of the great fish and the repentance of a city. Both of which, are miraculous.
