John, a Believer Asked:

I understand Jonah's account of 3 days in the belly of the great fish to be likened to that of Christ's three days in the grave, but I see one difference. The Bible I read doesn't say that Jonah died. In Jonah 2:1, the Scripture says, "Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly," What's up with this?

 

Our reply,
God Bless you, and thank you for writing. We understand that many people have trouble with the traditional teaching that Jonah was alive in the great fish's belly for the entire three days and nights. We are sure we have similar Bibles, but we will show the Hebrew on the keywords. First, we ask you to consider that if you, being a believer like Jonah, were thrown into the ocean during a ferocious storm and swallowed by a great fish (sea monster) in those moments before your certain demise, you would also be praying as fast and furiously as possible. If you found yourself back on shore alive three days and three nights later, we are convinced you would be giving God the glory. Now, let's look at the record.

First, the length of his stay.

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

Now, the events of his stay.

Jonah 2:1  Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

Jonah 2:2  And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

Hell = Sheol or Hades, the world of the dead (it seems he knew this was a death sentence and where he was soon heading).

Jonah 2:3  For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

He is already underwater as the waves pass over him.

Jonah 2:4  Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

Jonah 2:5  The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

Waters compassing his soul = nephesh defined as a breathing creature (still underwater thus unable to breathe) weeds around his head (further affirmation of being still underwater)

Jonah 2:6  I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

Here, he goes down to the bottom of the mountains, thus being buried underwater by the usage of bars or a watery prison. He then shows positively his death as he claims, "Yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God." Corruption = shachath, meaning destruction, corruption, destruction, ditch, grave, pit. He could not be delivered from this state unless he was behind its bars under tremendous pressure from the depths of the mountain's underwater grave.

Jonah 2:7  When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

fainted = ataph to be overwhelmed but confident God will supply his salvation.

Jonah 2:8  They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Jonah 2:9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

Jonah 2:10  And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Now, let's look at the most important evidence of all.

Mat 12:38  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Mat 12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

So we must ask ourselves, how was Jesus Christ in the heart of the earth? So, how must Jonah have been in the great fish's belly? What kind of sign could Jonah have been if he wasn't dead, and if Jonah wasn't dead, then was Christ not raised from the dead? Any answer other than being dead would be the end of the Christian faith, so why do so many cleave unto tradition and ignore The Truth? Fear is the only possible answer, but:

1 John 4:18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

John 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

All God's Blessings,
The Believers

John 3:13

And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven,
even the Son of man which is in heaven.

 A believer wrote:

I HAD A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO!  I HAD FLATLINED FOR 7 MINUTES BEFORE  BEING BROUGHT BACK.   IT WAS AS REAL AN EXPERIENCE AS ANYTHING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN LIFE.     IT IS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE  TO BELIEVE IT WAS NOT REAL. IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER AND MADE ME A 100% BELIEVER IN GOD AND CHRIST AS MY REDEEMER! YET IT IS AT ODDS WITH YOUR  TEACHING OR INTERPRETATION, WHAT SAY YOU!

 

Dear Believer,
God Bless you, and thank you for writing. We are glad your experience positively affected your life and that you are doing fine now, but we must all believe God and His Word no matter what our experiences are and how real they may seem. Maybe the Father allowed you to have that experience because it removed the fear in that situation and will help you to understand that Everlasting Life, though not currently realized, is a reality that will happen at the Resurrection, which occurs at His Son's return from Heaven. So many people have trouble with the fact that the dead remain dead until The Resurrection because of the traditional belief of "die and go to heaven," but let's look at just a few verses from the Gospel of John. Every pastor knows John 3:16, but how many know and will believe John 3:12-13:

John 3:12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John 3:13  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John 6:39  And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John 6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:54  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 11:23  Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
John 11:24  Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 12:48  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Now let's look at 1 Corinthians:

1 Cor. 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Cor. 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Cor. 15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Cor. 15:55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Cor. 15:56  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1 Cor. 15:57  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So why is this not the common teaching?

Gen. 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Consolation of Israel:

Luke 2:25  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

1 Pet.  2:7  Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

The Cornerstone is the first block in a building's foundation. The remaining foundation is calculated from the Cornerstone so that the building is squared, level, and true. This practice stems from the rudiments of sound construction practices.

Counselor:

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Guilds, instructs, and stands beside us.

Door, the Door of the Sheep:

John 10:7-9  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

Elect of God:

Isaiah 42:1  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Emmanuel/Immanuel, God with us:

Matthew 1:22-23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel," which means "God with us."

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. God's real presence with us. Everlasting (Eternal) Father. He always existed with no beginning.

John 15:13-17  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another.

2 Thessalonians 2:14  Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 James 2:1  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

God:

Isaiah 40:3  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

John 20:28  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 

Colossians 1:15-18  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

Titus 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 

Great High Priest:

Hebrews 4:14-15  Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 

The Head of the Church:

Isa. 53:3-12  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.  Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The article was nice and informative. I agreed with it, but I did have a question about one thing.
Since our body returns to dust, is it wrong to have your body cremated or not?
Thanks for your comments.

Dear D.J.,
God Bless you, and thank you for writing. We must first understand that the body of flesh is not what will be risen in The Resurrection.

1 Cor. 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1 Cor. 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1 Cor. 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

The second is that our body is but dust.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Dust and ashes are really the same thing; just one is formed more rapidly by fire.

Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

So cremation is nothing more than the burial of the body after causing it to return to the dust state rapidly by use of fire rather than the slow process of decay. We see nothing wrong with this or any form of burial as long as the body is not given more importance than God has taught us in His Word.

All God's Blessings,
The Believers
