Thus, the objective of this exposition paper is to understand Jonah 1 in the light of the overarching theological message of the book.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a show which has been making fun of the almost bottomless supplies of terrible B-movies since 1988. The name Jonah is a significant piece in the puzzle to understanding this theory Now, the naming convention for Mystery Science Theater 3000 host has been keeping the first name of the actor and either keeping their last name (as is the case with Mike Nelson) or changing it to a media significant name (such as Joel Hodgson to Joel Robinson and Jonah Ray to Jonah Heston).

The death of the dream of what Sampson could be, produced the death of surrounding nations as well as perpetuating the commonness and thus destruction experienced
