Jonah Code Revisited

Jesus gave one sign to an evil and adulterous generation: as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. For centuries, Good Friday and Easter morning could not make that math work.

Michael Rood made it work. His Jonah Code series set the Gospels against the Creator's calendar and showed a Wednesday crucifixion and a Sabbath resurrection that fit the sign exactly. He showed that the ministry of Messiah ran seventy weeks of days, 490 days from the Jordan to the seventh Sabbath of the omer count. For many viewers, including this author, that work changed everything.

The Jonah Code Revisited honors that debt and then does what a grateful student owes a teacher. It checks the work.

Part One lays out the sign, the man who counted, and the calendar. Part Two affirms what Rood proved: the Wednesday crucifixion, the Sabbath resurrection, and the 490-day ministry. Then the book names where he strayed. Without the dividing line between the Book of the Covenant and the Book of the Law, he added a third layer to Daniel's prophecy and set a date for 2010. The date came and went.

Part Three returns to the text itself: one decree, the oath-week, the covenant confirmed with many, and the six accomplishments of Daniel 9:24 fulfilled in Messiah. Part Four answers what 1948 is and is not, faces the hardest objections in the Honest Corner, and teaches how to watch without counting.

This is not an attack. It is a completion, written by a student standing on a teacher's shoulders, with the door left open for him to finish the work himself.

Your standing open item: the cover says "A Covenant Perspective" while the interior carries this long subtitle. The Amazon listing should match whichever you settle on.
