In the videogame Dark Souls 2, the player can enter a coffin on a beach. That coffin seals the lid of itself and then goes out further into the water. The screen fades to black, and then the coffin washes back up on the shore, but the player character has their gender changed (link).
I noticed something interesting in the Hebrew in the book of Jonah. The fish changes gender or sex. In Jonah 1:17, God sends a male fish to swallow Jonah. Then 3 days and nights pass.
After three days and nights, Jonah "wakes up" in a female fish. There, he prays. His prayer consists of many past tense and perfect verbs. This means that Jonah seems to be reviewing a lot of what already happened over the course of the 3 days and 3 nights. Was the fish male or female, or some transition during that time?
What spits Jonah out is a male fish. Did the fish change genders again? It's also worth noting and interesting to note that sex-change processes happen to some fish in nature (link).
In the Messiah's teaching, Jonah seems to correspond to the number 30: perhaps such things as 30 variants in a potential multiverse, 30 access points to those alternate universes, 30 data packets as lower dimensional shadows or images from those alternate universes or timelines, and 30 3D or 4D cross-sections useable to extend or bridge current or other 4D rows of 3D cross-sections.
If 30 corresponds to alternate universes, do some of those alternate universes contain gender-swapped versions of beings, like the fish may have been? If so, is 30 enough alternate versions or 3D cross-sections in the direction of a higher dimensional bridge, for such gender-swapping to occur at least once?
It is possible that each Gospel version has its own timelines woven together. In the 4 biblical Gospels, the word "Rabbouni" is only used twice. It is used, in Mark, by a blind man who is still blind while calling Jesus "Rabbouni". In John's gospel, it is used by a woman who is not blind, but she calls Jesus "Rabbouni" while turned around and not seeing Him, or while turning around but likely not seeing Him yet. It is interesting that they are the only two people who are recorded as calling Jesus the special Aramaic term "Rabbouni". Maybe the formerly blind man followed Jesus from Mark's alternate timeline to John's timeline, but was somehow genders-swapped for some reason during transit. Both people recognized Jesus only by the sound of his voice. Perhaps Jonah's gender-swapping-fish relates if Jonah also crossed into (at least temporarily) other timelines / alternate universes, especially if a resurrection technique involves that (Matthew 12:40). Some Tibetan esoteric and other traditions mention techniques to transfer and maintain consciousness across death to another reincarnation, keeping memories and consciousness while being reincarnated or reborn. Perhaps the formerly blind man used a similar technique to follow Jesus to John's timeline but used the Jonah resurrection technique in some "backwards" way so that he was gender-swapped like the fish instead of resurrected back into the same gender like Jonah was.
Another interesting evidence for alternate dimensions in the book of Jonah is this. God does not bring disaster upon Nineveh. In Jonah 3:10, it's explicit that God did not bring disaster that was already decreed. Although in that verse, God said that He would do it.
Multiple times, God is described as not changing His mind. Some examples of this description are: Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18, Malachi 3:6, Job 23:13, Joshua 21:45, Isaiah 55:11, Psalm 89:34, and Ezekiel 24:14. How then could Jonah 3:10 be reconciled with those? Perhaps, if Jonah hopped into one or more alternate timelines, either the entire timeline he entered was different, or only parts like Nineveh "turned" or changed. God could have still destroyed another alternate Nineveh in another alternate timeline / universe, like God said in Jonah 3:10. If this is the case, then God could have decreed destruction for Nineveh in one universe, and then moved Jonah over to another universe where that Nineveh wasn't destroyed. Jonah definitely expected destruction of Nineveh and waited for the city to be destroyed, so the alternate universe / timeline might have been similar enough to appear to Jonah as the same universe /timeline as before the fish-swallowing incident.
If you think that considering whether or not a city like Nineveh was destroyed or not, due to potential differences between timelines, is a waste of time, then read the following biblical gospel passage:
Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”
Matthew 11:20-24
Notice that not only are there potentially alternate timelines / universes where cities like Sodom escape destruction (like Nineveh did), there are also potentially alternate timelines where a city can be elevated to a heaven. Capernaum is there mentioned as having alternate timelines of elevation to heaven versus one of lowered to Hades (which is apparently a Greek word meaning "unseen", and so describes an invisible place).
Saying that Sodom would have remained until this day, definitely is a consideration of alternate timelines.
And the book of Jonah is an example of when a timeline-hopping change to a city and/or person and/or fish seems to be a catalyst.
