TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

JONAH 1:17

BIBLE TEXT: “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 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: The great fish, just like the gourd, the worm, and the east wind of the book of Jonah, were all “prepared” or appointed by Divine Providence to be used as God pleased in the bringing to pass of His plans and purposes. (Jonah 4:6-7)

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: A school teacher tells his students that it is physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human being. One of his students objects, however, insisting that the Bible teaches that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher then asked the student how he can prove the Bible is true, to which the little boy replies, “Well, when I get to Heaven, I’ll ask Jonah about it.”  The sly teacher craftily retorts, “What if Jonah isn’t in Heaven, but in Hell.” “Then,” the little boy responds, “you can ask him.”
