The entire New Testament was written by eyewitnesses and men who walked closely with Jesus.
There’s more reliable written evidence about the life of Jesus Christ than there is Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great.
I RECENTLY HEARD A STATEMENT THAT SAID…“IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAKE UP, I ASK GOD TO GET IN MY HEAD BEFORE I DO.” BEST ADVICE EVER!!!
Start the day with God!
I genuinely think 2019 was the last normal year of our lives. Since then, it feels like we woke up in a different timeline. Nothing makes sense, time moves too fast and yet too slow, and everyone is constantly on edge. Like the world quietly updated and nobody got the patch notes.
Unpopular opinion: Jonah didnt survive three days in the belly of the great fish—
it wasnt a refuge; it was a tomb.
Most people picture Jonah chilling in the belly of the great fish for three days perhaps humming a psalm or two. Thats not what the text describes.
Read Jonahs own prayer from inside the fish:
“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress…
From the belly of Sheol I cried and you heard my voice…
The waters closed in over me to the point of death;
the flood surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head;
I went down to the roots of the mountains;
the earth with its bars closed upon me forever…
yet You brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.” (Jonah 2:2–6)
He prays from Sheol—the Old Testament place of the dead. He says the waters took him “to the point of death.”
Seaweed wrapped around his head and the earth barred him in forever.
Thats not a guy whos just uncomfortable. Thats a man describing his own death.
So yes—Jonah died in the belly of the fish.
The miracle wasnt that he survived for three days.
The miracle was that God raised him from the dead when the fish vomited him onto dry land.
And thats exactly the sign Jesus pointed to:
“But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so no sign will be given to it except the SIGN OF JONAH the prophet; For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:39-40)
Jesus didn’t say “as Jonah lived in the fish…”
He pointed to Jonahs death and resurrection as a sign of His own.
Jonah died. God raised him.
Jesus died. God raised Him.
Thats the parallel—not a three day aquarium stay.
The sign of Jonah isnt survival.
It’s resurrection.🙏

Trump Cuts Funding to 16 Blue States That Didn’t Vote for Him
I just want to remind everyone that Biden never sought political retribution for states that didn't vote for him. In fact, they overwhelmingly benefited from his policies.
