“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.”
The statement that the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights indicates divine provision rather than destruction. The survival in the fish suggests that judgment includes the possibility of restoration. This verse concludes the chapter with the possibility of rescue.
