We are told that the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. The word prepared means to\u00a0 appoint, or arrange ahead of time. This particular fish was created to swallow Jonah. Many have said in days gone by that a\u00a0whale could not swallow a man. The giant sperm whale\u00a0killed off the Florida keys in 1912 proves this wrong. The whale was 45 foot long, had a 38 inch\u00a0throat area\u00a0, and weighed 30,000 pounds. There is also the evidence of a man by the name of James Barclay a whale hunter being swallowed by a whale and\u00a0 several days later\u00a0being found in the whale&#8217;s belly when\u00a0the whale was killed.\u00a0He said he could\u00a0breathe but the heat\u00a0was almost unbearable. If we didn&#8217;t have any of the above evidence\u00a0it would change nothing, if God said\u00a0a fish swallowed Jonah that is enough confirmation from\u00a0me how about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us muse today from Jonah 1:17 and the subject of Jonah&#8217;s sea.
