- 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.
I happen to find this statement very interesting. I think that there is more to the type that the Lord Jesus Christ presents here. I think Jesus is also giving Israel a warning. I believe Jesus was trying to provoke the Israelites to read the book of Jonah,
-After Jonah left the whale's belly, he went to the city of Nineveh
Jon 3:4 - And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Jon3:5 - So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Because they(the city as whole) believed God, God showed mercy and did not destroy the city.
After the Lord Jesus Christ resurrection - Peter warned Israel, that they just crucified their messiah and need to repent(from unbelief to belief) God.
Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Israel as a whole did not believe God and 40yrs later, Israel was over run and destroyed.
