The Lord emphasized three times that the shepherd he raises is “the son of Jonah” (John 21:15-17 KJV).
Let us clearly distinguish who is the shepherd and who is the hired hand (John 10:12).
“They left the boat and the hired hands and followed Jesus” (Mark 1:20).
Jesus is also “the son of Jonah.”
Jonah means dove. As he was coming up after being baptized, the Holy Spirit in the shape of a dove descended and came upon him (Matthew 3:16).
The blessings that Son of Jonah receives are,
First, revelation opens.
Second, he is chosen as the foundation rock of the church.
Third, overcome the power of Hades.
Fourth, receive the keys to heaven.(Matt.16:17~).
The mark of becoming the son of Jonah is “the mark of Jonah.” (Matthew 12:40).
The Son of Man will spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth.
Study the Bible until you clearly realize the truth that the Lord died on the cross on Wednesday, April 5, 30 AD, and was resurrected on Sunday, April 9. Then you will be born again as a son of Jonah and become a shepherd that the Lord can use.
Ezekiel 1:1 is the prophecy about the date of the crucifixion.
He said that when the end of the world comes, just as lightning comes from the east and illuminates the west, the sign of the Son of Man will arise from the east and illuminate the people of the West. The sign of the son of Man=“The Son of Man will spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth.” Those who realize this truth will shine the light of truth like a star in the East to the West. (Daniel 12:3).
Let us all dedicate ourselves to the Lord so that the sign of Son of Man can shine throughout the world.
