David here points out that some ministers say that Jonah was bleach white, and brings up a good point...that only the Holy Spirit can convict of Sin. Interesting...David speaking now on the Death of an unfaithful prohet...he just saved the seamen, now he is going to save Jonah...
Wow... here is what I have so far.
Okay I began to listen to the sermon Jonah, as I did, I read along with the Transcript put out by Mark Swett. What is in this post is as far as I got. I will finish listning later and post the rest later. The red text is my commentary. I have to go to Georgia, pray for me, I will be leaving in a few minutes. I will finish this posting later, and will listen to this sermon along the way.
The Teachings of David Koresh
Jonah
Recorded at Mt. Carmel Center Waco, Texas on April 25, 1989.

David: God made the birds, and on that day of creation what did God also
make?
***OK David here, is speaking of Genesis Chapter 1 or 2...as the sermon opened
My mind is given affirmation of the message I have been given on the
Generations of God...the Thesis of Which involves 4 chapters of the Bible...
the first two Chapters in Genesis and the last two chapters in Revelations. It seems
that the Spirit Of God saw to this timeframe, connecting David's opening remarks
on Jonah to Genesis one and two, and the Birds****
Class: The fish.
David: The fish. The birds were created in the water. So the birds were to
come out of the water.
****David is definitely referencing Genesis Chapter 1 and verse
20, you see the birds
in Genesis Chapter one do come from the water...but the creation
of Genesis chapter 2 is not the same creation as Genesis chapter 1
in Genesis chapter 2 verse 1...one creation is finished, another
begins...theologians would argue with me that Genesis
chapter 2 is merely a recounting of chapter one, but this is a fallicy.
You can read more about this in the postings concerning The Song of
Moses, posted last Sabbath, for now note the in Genesis 2 and verse
20 the fowl of the air are not created from the waters...they are
indeed created from the earth....Mystery.*****
Now the book of Jonah has been a book - like I said
before - throughout Christendom for hundred's of years, its been a book
used as a bedtime story. But its lesson is clear, and its purpose is true.
There's two sides of God. One side of God is the extreme wrath of
unretributable retribution, you know? Retribution only God can give. There
can be no come back on God. I mean there's no contenders. Nobody can do
anything about it. And there's this side of God that states a truth such as
the book of Jonah. It say's: Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the
son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city and cry
against it. Do what?
Class: Cry against it.
David: For their wickedness is come up before me. This city is wicked. But
Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went
down to Jappa - which is a seaport, and he found a ship going to Tarshish:
so he paid the fare thereof. You can imagine Jonah getting his wallet out -
getting his ticket. And went down into it - into the ship - to go with them
unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. So Jonah did not want his
responsibility, did he. Can you imagine what was going through the mind of
this man. What will they think? What will they do to me? What's gonna
happen to me? I don't want to die, you know? So Jonah didn't have a real
comprehension of God yet, did he? Did he? No, he didn't.
****interesting...God's prophet doesn't really understand who he is"
So sometimes God
chooses men who have weak minds, who haven't really yet studied the natures
of science, to comprehend and fathom the power of the Almighty. {It's the
natural reaction of being involved}, isn't it - to avoid their
responsibility. But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there
was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Pretty powerful storm, huh? Then the mariners were afraid - that's the
ships crew - And cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares -
which is the merchandise - that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten
it of them. They wanted to make the ship a little lighter so it would float
a bit higher, right? But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship;
and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to him, and said
unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise,
****ahh...awaken sleeper...I think of the parable of the Ten virgins...messianic***
