Ok but is what Jesus speaks of in Matthew 12:40 an analogy?
"as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
I'm not as educated as you on semantics, but when I read "as Jonah was" the first question that comes to mind is? How was Jonah?
If I say: "As Mathew was when he got drunk at Lilly's party and ruined everything, I will be at your wedding." When I go to the wedding, can I be sober and deliver a flawless best-man speech? That would make me a liar right?
