Job1: He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish so he paid his fare and went
On board, to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the LORD.
When we go on a pilgrimage…even if we are like Jonah trying to flee from God, we are reminded by the statue of a whale in the middle of Joppa that we are never away from the presence of the Lord! That can be of great comfort when laying down and closing your eyes in a place far from home! Acts 9:36ff is the story of Dorcas and a glimpse of one of the first meetings of Women of the Church happening in Joppa!On board, to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the LORD.
