However, Jonah does not want to go, so he tries instead to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord (Jonah 1:3). The book of Jonah tells the story of the prophet Jonah, who God instructs to go out to the city of Ninevah to warn its inhabitants that they were about to suffer terrible consequences if they did not stop sinning. Just as God dwells in all spiritual dimensions, from Hades to heaven, God also dwells in every physical place. This again is a picture of two opposites that include everything in between. So if we were to start at one end of the earth, and go as quickly as the dawn spread, all the way to the known end of the earth, God would be there too. For the people of Israel, the dawn would have been one end of the earth, and the horizon to which it spread would be the other. The dawn, as it rises, seems to spread from one end of the earth to the other. If we try to escape God by riding the wings of the dawn or by dwelling in the remotest part of the sea, He still pursues us and leads us. God dwells everywhere that can be imagined, from the lowest Hades to the highest heaven. This is again a picture of two complete opposites that include everything in between. The Hebrew term Sheol overlaps with the New Testament Greek term “Hades.” In Acts 2, Peter quotes a psalm that translates “Sheol” as “Hades” (Acts 2:27, quoting Psalm 16:10). While we may expect to encounter the presence of God in the highest or most glorious places ( the heavens), David is saying that He is in the dark and low ones as well. Sheol is used throughout the Old Testament to mean the grave, or the place of the dead. It is the opposite of heaven-the lowest place to be. If we make our bed in Sheol, He is there also. Since God exists beyond the confines of space, He is able to be in every place that we go. Verses 7-10 explore what it means that God exists outside of space.ĭavid asks God a rhetorical question: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? He already knows the answer to this question: nowhere. It means “to exist.” He is establishing that God’s existence does not conform to our understanding of time or space. He is always present and reaching out to guide His people.Īt the beginning of Psalm 139, David refers to God as his Lord, in Hebrew “Yahweh,” which is the proper name of God.
