While the unbelieving seaman were trying to identify who was responsible for the danger they found themselves in they discover that Jonah is guilty of attempting to flee from the presence of the Lord. He identifies himself as a Hebrew and one the fears the creator God. This stirred up even greater fear amongst the seaman. While Jonah professes to fear the Lord, his actions say something very different and send a mixed message to the unbelievers that were trying to preserve his life. To fear the Lord is to hold Him in the highest regard and freely give ourselves to His will and purposes for our lives.
