Subject: Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? |
Bible Note: It is an interesting question isn't it. I must admit I had to do a bit of searching myself when it was pointed out to me. I'd always presumed that Jonah had not died, but his posable death in the belly of the great fish, does add to the miraculous nature of Jonah's' story, and parallels more closely what our Lord said about it being a sign, that pointed to His, 'death' and resurrection.
