The Dove of the Deep and Above: Jonah, Jesus and the Storm

Article Summary

The Dove of the Deep & Above brings together two illustrated biblical poems by Anna Towan (Ms AM): “The Dove and the Word” and “The Dove and the Deep.” The poems interweave Jonah’s descent into the sea and deliverance, Nineveh’s response, Jesus calming the storm, Christ walking on the water and the sign of Jonah. This expanded page also restores Anna’s two-part Jonah Prophecy satellite-mapping research from 6 October 2023. The poetry was later shared in The Alberino Analysis community on 3 February 2025 after inspiration from Mark A. Flynn’s book Forbidden Secrets of the Labyrinth.

Storm, sea, descent, deliverance and the commanding Word form the central movement of these poems. Jonah enters the deep after fleeing his call. Generations later, Jesus stands above the waters, speaks to the storm and reveals an authority greater than the sea.

“Peace, be still.” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

The Dove and the Word — Text Transcript

The storm arose, the waves ran wild,
The ship was tossed, the winds beguiled.
A man below lay fast asleep,
Yet heavens roared, and clouds weeped.

Awake! Awake! the sailors cried,
“For whom is wrath so justified?”
The lot was cast, the sign was sure,
One man must fall for peace to endure.

They cast him down, the sea grew still,
The tempest bowed to sovereign will.
And they who saw, in awe did say,
“His God is Lord—the seas obey!”

Yet time would turn, the sign return,
A greater Dove the world to learn.
Another ship, another wake,
Another storm the deep would shake.

“Master, wake! We fight, we drown!”
Yet with a word, the winds bowed down.
For He who walked the waves alone
Would calm the sea and take the throne.

The Dove of old, the Christ to be,
A pattern set for man to see.
From storm to still, from death to rise,
The Word made flesh, the gift most high.

The Dove and the Deep

Illustrated poem The Dove and the Deep by Anna Towan, showing a dove above dark water and luminous clouds
“The Dove and the Deep” reflects on Jonah, Nineveh, three days in the deep and the greater sign fulfilled in Christ.

The Dove and the Deep — Text Transcript

The dove fled the call, wings heavy with dread,
Son of true doctrine, yet veiled in his flight.
Nineveh stood, a city of Nine,
Bound to the waters, to mysteries divine.

A fish, a goddess, the tide of belief,
Yet a greater sign swam beneath the reef.
For when there’s a Nine, a Three must appear,
A prophecy turning, the hour made clear.

Swallowed whole by the depths of fate,
Three days lost in the belly of weight.
Yet the sea knew the name he bore,
And the beast could hold him no more.

The mariners whispered of what they had seen,
The storm, the casting, the waters now clean.
They spoke of the man the waves had obeyed,
A sign now rising from death’s dark shade.

So when he came, they knew, they heard,
A voice from the deep fulfilled in The Word.
Jonah, the Three, revealed from the brine,
Nineveh bowed—for the sign was divine.

Scripture Map Behind the Poems

Poetic theme Scripture Connection
Jonah in the storm and deep Jonah 1; Jonah 2 Jonah flees, the storm rises, he is cast into the sea and he prays to God from the depths.
Nineveh hears and responds Jonah 3; Matthew 12:41 Jonah preaches to Nineveh, and its people respond. Jesus later refers to their repentance.
The sign of three days Matthew 12:40 Jesus connects Jonah’s time in the great fish with the Son of Man’s burial and resurrection.
Jesus commands the storm Mark 4:35–41 Jesus rebukes the wind and tells the sea to be still, revealing His authority over creation.
Jesus above the waters Matthew 14:22–33 Jesus walks on the sea and calls His disciples away from fear.
The Word made flesh John 1:14 The closing line of the first poem points to the Word becoming flesh in Jesus Christ.
Dove imagery Matthew 3:16 At Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit of God descends like a dove. The poems extend dove imagery poetically toward calling, descent and Christ.
Biblical and poetic distinction

Some lines intentionally combine biblical narrative, typology, number symbolism and material encountered in Mark A. Flynn’s book. Scripture does not call Nineveh “a city of Nine,” does not identify Jonah as a dove and does not directly call Christ “the Dove.” Those phrases are poetic and interpretive. Matthew 3:16 specifically describes the Spirit of God descending like a dove. Readers are encouraged to enjoy the layered imagery while checking each direct biblical claim in context.

2023 Research: Jonah Prophecy from Satellite View

Before these poems were shared in 2025, Anna Towan had already developed a two-part visual investigation connecting the sign of Jonah with satellite imagery, Jerusalem geography, numerical patterns and Project Clock Codes. Both videos are dated 6 October 2023 and are now preserved on the Internet Archive.

Part 1: Jonah Prophecy—Matthew 12:39–40

Research video · approximately 11 minutes

Part 1 examines the sign of Jonah through biblical cycles, time patterns and Google Earth satellite imagery of Jerusalem. The presentation identifies a red-marker arrangement that the author interprets as resembling a fish. Within the perceived “belly” of that formation, the research places a replicated menorah location and studies its directional relationship with the Western Wall.

The video also relates the three-day Jonah pattern to resurrection symmetry and integrates the author’s 147, 258 and 369 numerical rockwork. These are proposed symbolic connections within Project Clock Codes rather than conventional archaeological or cartographic conclusions.

Part 2 continues the mapping study through the coordinates 31°N, 35°E and locations associated with Jerusalem, including the Mount of Olives and the Garden Tomb. The presentation considers a proposed tri-geographic alignment involving ascension symbolism, resurrection symbolism, sacred geography and the wider 147, 258 and 369 framework.

The Archive record describes this work as “theoretical and exploratory, intended for research and discussion.” The spelling johnahprophecy-part2 appears only in the permanent Archive identifier; the displayed research title is correctly written as Jonah Prophecy (Part 2).

Research-status and verification note

Satellite images and coordinates can be checked independently, but recognising a fish, menorah, grid or prophetic alignment within mapped points is an interpretive act. A visual resemblance does not by itself demonstrate design, causation or fulfilled prophecy. Stronger evaluation would require publishing the exact coordinates and selection rules, showing how every point was chosen, comparing alternative shapes and testing whether independent readers reproduce the same result.

The videos document Anna’s 2023 exploratory research and its relationship to Project Clock Codes. They should not be described as established archaeology, geography or scientific proof of Matthew 12:39–40.

How the 2023 Research Connects with the Poems

The sign of Jonah

Both the videos and poems centre on Matthew 12:40, where Jesus connects Jonah’s three days with His own burial and resurrection.

Fish and the deep

The satellite research explores a perceived fish form in Jerusalem; the poems revisit Jonah inside the creature and his prayer from the depths.

Jerusalem and fulfilment

The mapping moves the study toward Jerusalem locations associated with Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension, while the poems move from Jonah to the greater sign in Christ.

Hidden light

The menorah in the research functions as symbolic light within the perceived fish formation; the first poem closes with the Word made flesh and the gift most high.

Reading the Two Poems Together

Descent and deliverance

Jonah’s movement into the sea becomes a picture of descent, prayer, mercy and return to a calling.

Storm and authority

The first storm becomes still after Jonah is cast overboard; in Mark 4, Jesus stills the storm by His word.

Three days and the greater sign

Jesus explicitly uses Jonah’s three days as a sign pointing toward His own death, burial and resurrection.

From resistance to repentance

Jonah resists his commission, yet Nineveh later responds. The poems hold human reluctance beside God’s persistent mercy.

✨ Deep Treasure

The deep is not deeper than God’s reach, and the storm is not louder than Christ’s word. Jonah’s story moves through flight, descent and renewed calling; the Gospel reveals the greater sign—Jesus Christ passing through death and rising in victory.

Inspiration from Mark A. Flynn

These poems were inspired in part by pages 196–197 of Forbidden Secrets of the Labyrinth: The Awakened Ones, the Hidden Destiny of America, and the Day After Tomorrow by Mark A. Flynn, alongside the biblical accounts of Jonah, Nineveh and Jesus’ authority over the sea.

The book was published by Defender Publishing in 2014. References to its historical or symbolic interpretations are inspiration for the poems and should be distinguished from the biblical text itself.

Questions for Reflection

  • Where do I see myself in Jonah’s flight, descent, prayer or renewed obedience?
  • What changes when I compare Jonah asleep during the storm with Jesus asleep in Mark 4?
  • How does Jesus’ use of the sign of Jonah deepen the poems’ movement from death to life?
  • Which images come directly from Scripture, and which are poetic interpretation?
  • What storm am I still trying to master without listening for Christ’s word?

Frequently Asked Questions

Who wrote “The Dove and the Word” and “The Dove and the Deep”?

The poems and illustrated presentations are by Anna Towan, who shared the work under the name Ms AM.

Which Bible passages inspired the poems?

The central passages are Jonah 1–3, Mark 4:35–41, Matthew 14:22–33 and Matthew 12:39–41. John 1:14 and Matthew 3:16 also illuminate the poems’ Word and dove imagery.

Why is Jonah connected with Jesus?

Jesus makes the connection in Matthew 12:40, comparing Jonah’s three days in the great fish with the Son of Man’s time in the heart of the earth.

Does the Bible call Nineveh “a city of Nine”?

No. That phrase is the poem’s numerical wordplay. Jonah 3:3 describes Nineveh as an exceedingly great city and refers to a three-day journey; it does not define the city’s name through the number nine.

Does the Bible call Jesus “the Dove”?

Not directly. Matthew 3:16 says the Spirit of God descended like a dove at Jesus’ baptism. “The Dove” as applied to Christ in the poems is symbolic language and should be read as poetic interpretation.

Where was the work discussed?

It was shared in The Alberino Analysis book-club community on 3 February 2025. The linked community page may require sign-in.

What is the 2023 Jonah Prophecy satellite research?

It is a two-part Project Clock Codes video study by Anna Towan, dated 6 October 2023. Part 1 considers a perceived fish-shaped satellite pattern, menorah symbolism and the Western Wall. Part 2 continues through Jerusalem coordinates, the Mount of Olives, Garden Tomb and proposed prophetic alignments.

How long are the two research videos?

Part 1 is approximately 11 minutes. Part 2 runs for 42 minutes and 5 seconds.

Do the satellite images prove the sign of Jonah?

That's for you, the reader, to conclude as you observe the outline of the map, automated by Google Maps. They document a symbolic interpretation of selected geographic points. The biblical sign of Jonah comes from Jesus’ words in Matthew 12:39–40; a perceived satellite shape may inspire investigation but does not independently prove prophecy.

Why is “Jonah” misspelled in the Part 2 link?

The Internet Archive identifier is permanently written as johnahprophecy-part2. The item’s displayed title and the title used on this page are correctly written as Jonah Prophecy (Part 2).
