Truth:
1. Jonah in Hebrew means "dove".
2. Jonah was a prophet who turned from Israel to the Gentiles. In this he was a type of Christ, who turned from Israel to the Gentiles.
3. Christ is revealed also in the type of Jonah's staying in the great fish three days and three nights. This typifies Christ's staying in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Life experience/Application:
1. God is not only the God of the Jews but also the God of all the nations. Because the Jews responded to God wrongly, the Gentiles, not the Jews, became the first to enjoy God in His salvation.
