Old Testament -> Jonah

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 1:17

Jonah for Skeptics

Okay, everyone knows about God’s whale of a fish tale. So there’s nothing I need to say about it. And there’s really not much else of interest in Jonah, except maybe that:

God makes “a great fish” to swallow Jonah. And Jonah stayed in the fish’s belly for three days and three nights. 1:17

God talks to the fish, and it vomits out Jonah upon dry land. 2:10

God wants the “beasts” to cover themselves with sackcloth and “cry mightily unto God.” 3:8

God repents of the evil that he had planned to do. 3:10

God prepares a gourd to shade Jonah’s head. Then he prepares a worm to destroy the gourd. 4:6-7
