2. Jesus confirms that Jonah is a real person, who preached a real message to the real city of Nineveh. He also confirmed that Jonah was in the belly of the fish literally for 3 days and compared it to his up and coming time of dying on the cross and being in the grave 3 days in Mat 12:40-41 This is no made up allegorical story with some metaphoric truth, this is a real live documentary of a man whom God miraculously delivered into and then out of the belly of a giant fish for being disobedient to the command he gave him. This is the same God who gave his only begotten Son that whosoever should believe on him, should not perish. Jesus is real! Jesus died on the cross a real death! Jesus arose on the 3rd day in a real body, the same body he died in. Jesus appeared to many, was glorified and taken up to heaven in plain sight. No metaphoric truth here, just the plain, hard, cold facts of a Man/God who loved so much he gave himself as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Who are you going to believe in? Man's total inability to comprehend a God who performs miracles for his own people? Or Jesus Christ himself who claimed in 3 different Gospels Jonah to be a real prophet who spent 3 real days in the belly of a real fish? I am siding with Jesus Christ, where do you stand?
