dead. Our view is personally that God miraculously kept Jonah alive while he was in the fish’s belly. This would even seem to be more miracu lous since there were other resur rections in the Bible. However, this is the only case where a man was preserved in the body of a fish. This is a picture of Israel which hasn’t been annihilated, but rather pre served for a specific purpose. That fish could neither kill nor assimilate Jonah. This is the condition of the world. There are nothing but con trasts between Jonah and our Lord. Jonah was a man, Christ was our Saviour; Jonah was disobedient, Je sus did always the things pleasing unto the Father; Jonah has died, our Lord is alive forevermore. The simi larity was simply that Jonah spent three days and three nights pre served in the body of the fish. So our Lord Jesus fulfilled that same time element, accomplishing the will of God, as His body lay in the tomb for that period. Q.
