#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies

In this part of our Jonah study we will explore the identity of the being that swallowed Jonah.

Was it a dragon? What did the early church believe it was? Why did they view Jesus as the bait on the hook that snared leviathan? Why do the rabbis teach that Jonah was swallowed by two separate entities?

Also in this episode, how does Jonah’s ordeal relate to Israel crossing the Sea in Exodus 15? What was the symbolic or prophetic intent of Aaron’s dragon swallowing the dragons of pharaoh?

And finally, what could the gender of the monster POSSIBLY have to do with John 3 and Jesus conversation with Nicodemus?

Oh, and what does a Mermaid have to do with any of this?!?!
