Jon 2:10 | MHM | STEP | Jonah's Deliverance This section tells how Jonah was set free from the belly of the fish. Jonah’s escape is like a return from the grave to the land of the living. It is both a miracle and a sign of God’s power and mercy. God controls all creation and can use any creature to fulfill His will. Even after Jonah’s disobedience, when he prayed and turned back to God, God showed him mercy and rescued him. Jonah’s deliverance also points to Jesus Christ, who was in the grave for three days and then rose again. This is a reminder that God can save anyone who truly repents. v. 10 : God spoke to the fish, and it obeyed Him right away. The fish vomited Jonah out onto dry land (Jonah 2:10 ). This shows that all creatures listen to God’s command, even when people do not. God used His power to save Jonah when he cried out for help, even though Jonah had made mistakes. This was a miracle of mercy for a sinner who prayed. It is also a picture of Christ’s resurrection, when Jesus came out of the grave after three days to bring forgiveness and new life to all who believe (Hosea 6:2 ).
