Arise

One of the key words in Jonah 1 is down but another key word is arise. The Lord told Jonah to arise and go to Nineveh. When the storm came the captain of the ship told Jonah to arise and call upon his god. Jonah told the sailors to pick him up and throw him overboard. The Lord told Jonah again to arise and go to Nineveh. Jonah chose to go down rather than arise. His choice not to arise led him to go down to the very depths.
Once on the Sea of Galilee the disciples called upon the Lord to arise from His sleep and call upon God to calm the storm. Both Jonah and Christ were sleeping when told to arise but Jesus calmed the storm with His Word, Jonah had to give his life. Christ was in the will of God, Jonah was disobedient and had to die to himself.
