Bible Question (short): Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? |
Question (full): Jonah is referred to as a sign to the Pharisees and the Lawyers in the Gospels, the sign, three days and three nights in the belly of the earth as the picture of Jonah being three days in the belly of the great fish. The question, can one advance the idea that Jonah actually died, and was made alive again? The references to the grave seem to point to death, then Jonah after this is going through the city saying repent. What say? |
