Who Shallow Jonah and why? what was it future biblical significance?

Dear Sammy, a very big fish prepared by God swallowed Jonah after he was thrown overboard a ship which He boarded to flee when God commanded him go and preach to the City of Nineveh Jonah 1:17 . He was in the belly of the fish for 3 nights and 3 days. The Lord made reference to this event in the New Testament Matthew 12:40 signifying his Resurrection from the grave after dying on the Cross.

Sammy Chalefac Njukang, please read Jonah KJV Bible chapters 1 and 4, it should help you to understand the answer to your question. The LORD God prepared a gourd that it might be a shadow over Jonah's head. Jonah disobeyed God's command to go into Nineveh Chapter 1. But it would help you to read all four chapters to get a better understanding of the scriptures.

Thanks and God bless you, Have you ever seen that it was also a prophetic significance of the prophesy of Jesus Resurrection, that is he will be in the grave for three days and then the Holy Spirit will come upon him and God will raise him back to live. it was also a prophetic message of the burial, dead and resurrection of Christ. have a thought about this revelation.
