04 - In Deep Trouble [B]-Jonah (2026)

About this episode

This episode explores the biblical account of Jonah being swallowed by a whale and the implications of his experience.

How was it possible for Jonah to be swallowed by a whale and emerge in Israel three days later? Listen to this message to hear all the fascinating details that are mentioned in the Bible. Learn that God prepared a sea creature for this and no one knows exactly which one it is although many have speculated it was a sperm whale. See how time was counted in those days to make up the three days and three nights. Hear arguments concerning whether Jonah died and was brought back to life. Learn that in Jonah’s distress he called out to the Lord using many phrases from the Book of Psalms. During this lesson Dr. Dean mentioned a book by Dr. Michael Vlach, "Philosophy 101".
