tag name: Jonah (Bible) type: People; Religions, Middle Eastern web link: bahai-library.com/tags/Jonah_(Bible) related tags: – Bible notes: "... he was separated from the World of the Kingdom of Existence where are the Lights of the Placeless, and became a dweller in the world of place. Therefore the real meaning of Jonah is his reality (the essence of man); the fish is the corporeal body, the human temple and his outward form; the sea is the contingent world and the natural, dark qualities. As he was cast into this narrow and dark condition, he cried out from the bottom of his heart: "O Thou Holy Being! Verily I repent unto Thee!” (This caused him to be saved.)..." – From a Tablet of 'Abdu'l-Bahá (provisional translation) references: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah; bahai9.com/wiki/Jonah
