Was Jonah fleeing out of fear or hatred? in this episode I explore that question. Was The Ship Jonah boarded to take his journey of rebellion one of the mighty ships of tarshish? in my opinion that's most likely the case. In The Writings of The Greek Historian Herodotus he proclaims that there was a civilization that existed outside of the pillars of Hercules which is thought to be the rock formation resembling pillars in Gibraltar. This would mean it is very possible and even likely that tarshish wherever its location was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
