Quote:
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).
"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" (Matthew 12:40).
It is important and matters because God said it.

I understand your point here. But does it say "God said 'I prepared a whale' or is the writer of the book saying 'God prepared a whale'. That is whate matters in my opinion. The message is the same God prepared a place for Jonas.
I will continue to study. I am at work in Chicago at them moment and may have to go buy a KJV since I had counted on using the ones in the Hotel rooms but they are NKJV and since being here I don't want to use those.
And thank you for the replies, I appreciate an honest answer from people who are trying to help.
