Yo' N' ah (Za-Noon) the one with an `N' in his name

Just before the Destruction of Israel in 722 B.C the prophet Hosea made a profound
statement about the Israelites

 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

“Because you have rejected knowledge,
    I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
    I also will ignore your children.

 ~ Hosea 4:6

Interestingly, he does not say, because of sin, disobedience, or lack of repentance. 
Why was the emphasis primarily on the 'lack of knowledge'. The rejection of 
knowledge and ignorance of the law. Led astray by priests who had deserted the 
LORD to worship other gods (foreign religions).  


It was the Pharisees who tried to corner Yeshua. When they pressed him for a Sign.
This was his reply.
  
39 But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a 
miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet 
Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and 
three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three 
 days and three nights. 

~ Matthew 12: 39-40
 
Why Yo' N' ah (Za-Noon) the prophet Jonah ?  Jonah which means Dove.
Symbolically refering to Peace, Love, or Messenger. Islamists, and Secularists doubt
the validity of the Resurrected Christ, as did, the Pharisees. Perhaps, Yeshua pointed
out something else that was overlooked. The Idea of a Resurrection. Did Yahweh
perform one, once before ?

ג   וַיֹּאמֶר       , קָרָאתִי             מִצָּרָה    לִי                     אֶל-יְהוָה
el- yhwh(Elohim)      li   mi-sa-rah      qa-ra-ti,     va-yo-mer
  --וַיַּעֲנֵנִי         ; מִבֶּטֶן      שְׁאוֹל      שִׁוַּעְתִּי ,        שָׁמַעְתָּ   קוֹלִי. 2
        qo-li   sa-ma-ta  , si-va-ti    se-ol    mi-be-ten;  va-ya-ne-ni

 ~ יוֹנָה

                                                                        Yo-N-ah

And he said,  I cried,  by reason of my affliction,  unto,  Elohim, 
and He heard, from the depth;  Underworld, you cried, heard, my voice

~ Yonah 2:2
