The LORD's command to the fish demonstrates His authority over all creatures, emphasizing His control over nature. This aligns with other biblical instances where God commands animals, such as the ravens feeding Elijah (<a href="/1_kings/17-4.htm">1 Kings 17:4-6</a>). The use of "commanded" indicates God's direct intervention and power, reinforcing the theme of divine providence throughout the book of Jonah.<p><b>and it vomited Jonah</b><br>The act of the fish vomiting Jonah is both literal and symbolic. It signifies Jonah's deliverance from a situation of death and despair, akin to a resurrection. This event prefigures Christ's resurrection, as Jesus Himself refers to Jonah's three days in the fish as a sign of His own death and resurrection (<a href="/matthew/12-40.htm">Matthew 12:40</a>). The term "vomited" suggests an involuntary action, indicating that the fish was compelled by God's command, further underscoring God's control over the situation.<p><b>onto dry land</b><br>The mention of "dry land" signifies a place of safety and new beginnings for Jonah. It contrasts with the chaos of the sea, which often symbolizes danger and judgment in biblical literature. This transition from sea to land marks a turning point in Jonah's mission, as he is given a second chance to fulfill God's command to go to Nineveh. The geographical context suggests that Jonah was likely deposited on the eastern Mediterranean coast, possibly near Joppa, where he initially fled from God's presence. This return to land also symbolizes a return to God's purpose and plan for Jonah's life.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The sovereign God who commands all creation, demonstrating His authority over nature and His mercy towards Jonah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jonah.htm">Jonah</a></b><br>A prophet of God who initially fled from God's command but was given a second chance after being swallowed by a great fish.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_fish.htm">The Fish</a></b><br>A divinely appointed creature used by God to save Jonah from drowning and to transport him back to dry land.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/d/dry_land.htm">Dry Land</a></b><br>The place where Jonah is delivered, symbolizing a new beginning and the opportunity to fulfill God's mission.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>God is in control of all creation, and His plans cannot be thwarted.
