65 Oh, yes. God kept him alive three days and nights. And we find him then. And we was told that all the Ninevites had turned away from God and went to worshipping animals, which is a heathen trait, and they was… Most all around Nineveh, it was on the seashore, so the occupation was fishing.

==The people in Nineveh saw the whale spit out Jonah== | |||
33 You know what God did? He must’ve put a oxygen tank or something in there. He kept that prophet alive for three days and nights, and took him on a ride, all the way across the ocean to Nineveh. Nineveh was a large city, many thousands of people. They were idol worshipers, and they worshipped gods, and their great god was the god of the sea, the whale. All of them were fishermen. Here they was out there pulling their nets, sinful as the United States is now, and the first thing you know, in come the whale (He was a god to them.), opened up his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and the prophet walked off like a gang plank. There come the god, spitting the prophet out. No wonder… See, God had to do it that way. God knows what He’s doing. No wonder they repented at the preaching of Noah—or Jonah. Because why?

I want to show you something now, show where God knows what He’s talking about. Now, the people of Nineveh… That was a big city about a half a million people, pretty near the size of St. Louis, Missouri. And they were heathens. They were in all kinds of sin. They worshipped animals, and idols, and everything, and they were—their occupation were fishermen. And so the whale was the god of the sea. So all of them was out about eleven o’clock fishing, all the fishermen pulling their nets out there in the sea, and the first thing you know, '''up come the sea god, the whale. Run up to the bank, licked out his tongue, and the prophet come walking right out on the bank.''' Sure they repented. God knows what to do. God knows how to do things to people who wants to believe. See? '''Jonah wasn’t out of the will of God.''' See, the whale god spit the prophet right out on the bank. Sure they’re going to believe his message. And there he come out.<ref>William Branham, 62-0725 - A Greater Than Solomon Is Here, para. 68</ref> | I want to show you something now, show where God knows what He’s talking about.
