Jonah 1 is a sobering passage because he is depicted as a human who is fully bought into the serpents lie — you don’t need God. In fact, you’re better off without him. You can have the life you want without God.
Jonah has lost the plot. He has heard the screams of Nineveh, and chooses to run the other way. Instead of partnering with God to put the world to rights, he descends further and further into madness. And a deformation takes place in his soul.
