Rapture Bible Prophecy Forum

(Rapture is a Vatican/Jesuit Lie )
The "Resurrection" has been erroneously labeled The "Rapture". 
THERE IS NO RAPTURE

WHY THE TITLE RAPTURE BIBLE PROPHECY FORUM?
WE STARTED OUT BELIEVING IN A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE
BUT FOUND OVER TIME AROUND 2006 THAT THE BIBLE DOES NOT SHARE A 
BIBLE VERSE WHATSOEVER INDICATING A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE

BIBLE VERSES EVIDENCE:

While Yahusha/JESUS was alive, He prayed to His Father: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.  John 17:15 (KJV)

Yahusha/JESUS gave signs of what must happen before His Return:  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"  Matt. 24:29 (KJV)


WE DAILY STUDY TO SHEW OURSELVES APPROVED 
WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO SAY WE ARE LEARNING DAILY AND 
ARE ABLE TO ADMIT WE MAKE MISTAKES BUT STUDY TO 
LEARN EVERY DAY.

LET YHVH/YAHUSHA BE TRUE 
AND EVERY MAN A LIAR.

"Originally to Charles, repost to "ALL DOVES"..............Rapture, 2 witnesses, 144,000, the BRIDE OF CHRIST, Tribulation Saints, A Revelations Summary.... MUST READ"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



TO JOHN AND ALL DOVES!

The following letter was posted in a response to Charles, but I am hoping John will repost it to ALL DOVES, for I feel it is extreemly important and might have been overlooked by the majority of doves. It is an indepth study of Revelations, done with intense biblical research and prayer. I hope all will find spiritual TRUTH in reading and praying over it and give all glory to Jehovah God, Jesus Christ his son, and the Holy Ghost.

Subject: For ALL DOVES in Response to CHARLES.........."The truth of the narrow road and the worlds wide path"
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:09:03 -0400


Dear brother Charles and doves,


Upon reading your letter Charles, happiness came over me! You have found the answer! The Lord has blessed your devotion with wisdom and lead you to the TRUTH!


No one knows it all, but each are given as he can handle, meat to deeper truths and milk to introduce one to God's love, understanding, salvation, and all good things that are of Jehovah God Almighty, Jesus Christ his son, and the Holy Ghost.


I feel that the Lord wants me to share what he has shown me in my studies of Revelations, in summation. This is just my oppinion as to what I have learned from my point of understanding. Take it before the Lord, in prayer, and ask for the truth. I did.


Mathew 7:14........Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


The race is to become the bride of Christ, the prize of a position in the new Jerusalem government of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, under the Kingship of David, not to have to face the second death. The bride of Christ will be the 144,000 firstfruits, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. These people will be scattered all over the earth and from all walks of life. They will have a calling. All their lives have been focussed to learn the TRUTH, then declare the TRUTH to the world. This can be said to be an obsession with these people. They will be rejected and hated by those that have been deceived by Satan. Their goal is to do Jesus end time work of calling as many out of this Babylonish system of worshipping Satan and demons, that will listen. (Understand this! The entire world has been deceived and most know not what they are doing! They perish for lack of knowledge.)


Revelations 12:9....... And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. I believe that the Olympics ceramony's were a precurser to the manifestations of Revelations chapter 9.

The 144,000 are the 2 witnesses that represent the 2 olive trees and 2 candlesticks that stand before the God of the earth.


......I believe they have a common trait of being sealed with the baptism of the Holy Ghost with and by the anointing of (oil).......


KJV Zechariah 4:14..... Then said he, These are the 2 anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
NLT Zechariah 4:14...... Then he said to me, "They represent the 2 heavenly beings who stand in the court of the Lord of all the
earth.


Zechariah chapter 4 tells of the physical rebuilt temple of the Lord after Israels return from exile. Under the leadership of Jeshua and Zerubbabel, the religious and civic leaders of Jerusalem, the temple of the Lord was rebuilt and worship was restored in Jerusalem.


Zerubbabel and Joshua represented the two heavenly beings (literally two sons of olive oil), who were anointed with oil as part of their commissioning. Theirs was the physical representation of the restoring of the temple worship. Jesus Christ is the rebuilder of the spiritual temple. The 144,000 are the (sons of the oil) in this the end times, that represent the 2 heavenly beings. The 2 heavenly beings are the 2 olive trees on each side of the lampstand. Theirs is the spiritual representation of the restoring of temple worship. The oil is the word of God and is dispensed by the Holy Ghost. When it says 2 heavenly BEINGS, beings means more than one as in several, in this case, 144,000. The 2 represents Gods chosen people that are divided into 2 kingdoms presently. These two peoples will be reunited as recorded in Ezekiel:


Ezekiel 37:22........And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;


They are from the 2 Kingdoms of Israel, thus, the 2 witnesses, The Northern and the Southern Kingdoms, and are seperated into their respective tribes, 12,000 from each one. The one kingdom represents the keeping of the laws of God and the other kingdom represents the saving grace and salvation of God. They are alive now and have been chosen by our Lord. Many are called to this purpose, but few will be chosen. And to be one is not what Christondom (False Christianity) thinks! They are not taken out of harms way by a (RAPTURE). They will be killed by the beast, as he will make war against them after they have prophesied for 3 and a half years. I feel that the anti-christ will accomplish this in front of the entire world, to make an example to the world what happens to those who won't take the mark of the beast. Their dead bodies will be left to rot in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 and a half days, at which time God will bring them back to life and call them up to the throne. This is the FIRST (ascension) up to heaven in Revelations 11:12 and it is the FIRSTFRUITS that are taken. Most of the world will rejoice when the anti-christ has the 144,000 murderred (probably by beheading) because the world does not want to hear the TRUTH! True Christians are not spared from "the persecution of the Devil"! We are spared from "THE WRATH OF GOD"! There is a difference and it is spelled out in Revelations for all to discover.


Satan has deceived the entire world and that is why the 144,000 will be hated by the world! They will be charged will the duty of declaring to the world that the entire world has been deceived!


Mathew 15:9....... But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.


Even family members will call them CRAZY and many other things because the 144,000 will not go along with the worlds deception, (Keeping pagan holidays instead of Gods Holy days). Satan has mixed pagan worship into Christianity to confuse the world and cause worshipping of false Gods. In actuality, christondom worships Satan and demons, and have lost their way because of not obeying Gods commandments. Jesus said himself that he did not come to destroy the LAW. He said we can keep the law by Loving each other as ourself and Loving God with our total being. But that entails KEEPING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, if you love God you want to obey Gods LAWS. Simply put!


Mathew 10:36........ And a mans foes shall be they of his own household.
37........ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38........ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.


During this time of prophesying to the world, choices will have to be made! Either you believe the TRUTH and come out of Babylonish worship, or you do not. The difference will be your eternal destination and whether or not you are among those standing before the throne of God that come out of the great tribulation. You see, no one is going to be taken out of the earth to escape the persecution that is coming and is already going on all over the world. Christians and Jews are being persecuted all over the earth and it is going to get much worse!
John 17:14..........I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15............. I pray not that thou shouldest taketh them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keepeth them from the evil.
16............. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17............. Sanctify them through thy TRUTH: thy word is TRUTH.


Jesus here is talking to the Father about the firstfruits, the 12 desciples and the 144,000 of the end times.


John 17:20....... Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21........... That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.


Jesus here prays for the firstfruits and the future church that will become one with them together as Jesus is one with the Father.





The choice is summed up in:


Mathew 10:39............He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.


In other words, if you take the mark of the beast in order to live, you will lose your eternal life with the Lord. And if you give up your life by not taking the mark of the beast and are thus killed because you believe in Jesus sacrifice for your sins, then you will gain eternal life and be with the Lord. Those standing before the throne of God in Revelations 7:9 are those that were killed in the tribulation, thus they did not take the mark of the beast. Instead they WASHED their robes and MADE them white in the blood of the Lamb. This means that they DID something to cause their robes to become white. They DIED for their belief in Jesus! This MADE their robes white. They are INNUMERAL! They cannot be numberred because there are so many of them! On the other hand the 144,000 are numberred! An exact amount! This proves that they are 2 different groups of people. The 144,000 are to be priests and kings. The great multitude are of the church, spared Gods wrath that culminates in revelations chapter 16, but not spared persecution during the tribulation.


Mathew 24:29....... Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:


Notice the words AFTER THE TRIBULATION! Then the next verse.....


30........... And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.


The harvest of the earth does not happen until AFTER, read that again, AFTER the tribulation! The dead will rise first and then those that are still alive and have not taken the mark of the beast will be translated! Those people that live through it all, right up until the WHEAT HARVEST, are identified in revelations 15:2 and are tribulation saints that stayed alive right up until the harvest of the earth, and were translated. These could have been some of the church and others that excepted Jesus during the tribulation that managed to stay alive until the harvest time. The tribulation saints that died during the tribulation, rose first, and were seen as a great multitude in revelations 7:9.......Many of the church and others that except Jesus during the tribulation, (saints that were deceived by Satan into false worship but woke up when the anti-christ wanted them to take the mark of the beast and worship him KNOWINGLY!) This would cause eternal ****ation! A choice finally has to be made by all of these people.


I believe that we are at the end of the road! I also believe that the last church described by Jesus in revelations 3:14 is actually talking about the end time churches NOW, the La-od-i-ce-'ans! The people that are to face the last years on earth before the wheat harvest happens! The church is spued from the Lords mouth! They are neither hot nor cold! ALL will have to go into the great testing of the TRIBULATION. Even the 144,000! Many will be killed! This is a final testing of the faith of the saints. Some will be predestined to become the bride of Christ, the 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. The great multitude will be from the church. Others will come to be saved by turning from the beast and suffering persecution, and/or death.


Revelations 3:19.......As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20............ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.
21............ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.


To overcometh is to live your life to the death, never forsaking your faith in Jesus. Choose death, over life with the beast as your life saver. DO NOT take the mark of the beast, PERIOD!!!!!!



Jews will eventually come to mourn for Jesus as they are persecuted by the anti-christ to the point of crying out to Jesus as their true messiah and their king. They will suffer greatly for excepting the anti-christ before excepting the TRUTH! All Israelites are Hebrew, but not all are JEWS! Read Genesis 48 and 49 to see the seperation of the 12 tribes and their blessings. There are 12,000 from each tribe that will become the 144,000 in the end times. Jews are from the tribe of Judah, thus they are called Jews. Benjamin and Levi were of the Southern Kingdom with Judah and they resided in and around Jerusalem with the tribe of Judah, thus they took the name also, Jews. The Northern Kingdom were of the lost 10 tribes. Jesus's mission from Jehovah God Almighty was to retrieve them from the world. They are called the house of Israel.


KJV Mathew 15:24.......... But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
NLT Mathew 15:24.......... Then Jesus said to the woman, "I was sent only to help Gods lost sheep-the people of Israel.


It is clear that Jesus was talking about the lost 10 tribes (the Northern kingdom) because the Jews have never lost their identity. The world has ALWAYS known who they are. The Jews are called the Children of Israel.


I believe that we know who the anti-christ is and the false prophet will come out of the RCC, Petrus Romanus. They want Jerusalem as their headquarters, and will stop at nothing to bring the nation of Israel (the Jews) to their knees. Islam is their army and is of the BEAST SYSTEM! The 10 horns of this union with the anti-christ are being formed as I type. They will give their power to the anti-christ and will share power as kings for one hour with him. You mathmaticians can figure it up, and please post for us all to know this time frame. These 10 kings of Islam will hate the *****, the RCC, and will make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.


This brings us into the WRATH OF GOD, Revelations chapter 16, when the 7 vials of the Wrath of God are poured out upon the earth.

The wheat harvest and the grape harvest were completed in revelations 14:14 and 14:18.

"Reply to Mike Plunkett about church going through trib and being killed as 2 witnesses or 144k"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mike Plunkett (26 Oct 2012)

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2012/mikep1026-1.htm


Matthew quoted Jesus' sayings by topic not giving any consideration to chronological timing of events descried but lumped all similar sayings together for the purpose of showing the "Kingly" nature of Jesus teachings and therefore Matthew cannot be used to establish any meaningful order of events mentioned. Nevertheless some will use Matthew to suggest that the rapture happens after the tribulation and on this hangs their whole argument. (Luke provided the teachings and events "in order". Luke 1: 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,)

Jesus promised that His bride (Philadelphia Church) would be kept from the hour of temptation which shall come on all the world to try them which dwell upon the earth.

This promise suggests a couple of important things.

1. To be kept from the hour of something is to be removed from the very time/space continuum altogether not to be preserved through said time.

2. It also suggests that this time of trial is a time when a decision for God is still possible for those who are in this hour being tried. Therefore this cannot refer to being kept only from the wrath of God portion of the tribulation. Yet the Philadelphia Church is kept from this hour therefore suggesting that the Philadelphia Church has already made her decision and been accepted by Jesus as a finished product in no need of further trial.

Also there are promises from Jesus that whoever believes in Him though he were dead yet he shall live and if he lives and believes he shall NEVER die! There is a generation that shall not taste of death! Therefore the raptured Bride cannot be the 2 witnesses and be killed at all.

When you see these things BEGIN (not after the tribulation) to come to pass then stand and lift your heads your redemption draws nigh - Rapture before, not after the tribulation has ended.

Also Isaiah 26 says we will be hidden in a safe place not among the inhabitants of the earth, (represented in the "Star Gospel" as Cancer the sheepfold temporary holding place for weary travelers) until the indignation be overpast:

19. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

If the Philadelphia Church is to be kept from the hour of trial it must be removed first before that hour can even begin. Therefore whatever tribulation we may face here and now is not a part of that trial but the trouble (regular tribulations) that Jesus said we would have in the world but be of good courage for He has overcome this world and the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church. Therefore when Antichrist makes war with the saints and overcomes them, it is not the church but tribulation saints, foolish virgins left here and new converts after the tribulation has begun. We will be gone!

This is our blessed hope and we are told not to let anyone take this hope from us even if they be 5 Dove posters.

Revelation 3:
10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I also don't beileve that the church is the 144,000 since we are gone at this time having supper!

Mike Plunkett (29 Oct 2012)
"For ALL DOVES..........Reply to Barry Amundsens post about the summary of Revelations posted by me.........."


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barry,


Let's look at scripture!



Lets address the 144,000 first. There are only 144,000 human beings that will be taken as the "FIRSTFRUITS". People get confused by inserting the church as a whole, into the special place held for the 144,000. Only the 144,000 show up with the Lamb on mount Sion..... signifying their following the Lamb everywhere he goes and being part of his spiritual kingdom government, located in the city of God, Zion, or Sion!
Revelations 14:1......... And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.


"THEY ARE" the first fruits of the end times as stated in:


Revelations 14:4........ These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins, These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.


Jesus told the 12 apostles that he had other sheep. This would be the church members that the apostles were to build up. Jesus teachings were TO the apostles, and to the crowds he spoke in parables! The 12 apostles and the 12 patriarchs (the 12 sons of Israel), make up the 24 elders of Gods government and are seen around the throne of God in:


Revelations 4:5........ And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.


If you read Revelations front to back, you will see that the VERY FIRST PLACE that anyone is taken up to heaven is:


Revelations: 11:12...... And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.


This is the first mention of the FIRST ASCENSION to heaven, during the tribulation, in the end times, in the book of Revelations. This is not speculation, not word play, but spoken plainly and understandably, these ARE THE FIRSTFRUITS! The BARLEY harvest! Nothing more to prove, nothing more to say, they are what they are, the 2 Witnesses of Revelations! They are the firstfruits and they are ascended into heaven in the chapter that is talking about the 2 WITNESSES, chapter 11. Revelations chapter 11 also states:


Revelations 11:4......... These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.


The 144,000 are the modern day representation of Zerrubabel and Joshua of the book of Zechariah chapter 4. Zerrubabel and Joshua were commissioned for their duties as civic and religious leaders of Jerusalem by the annointing with olive oil, (that is having oil poured over ones head, having been baptized and sealed with the Holy Ghost) and represent the offices of priest and king in Jerusalem. They were to rebuild and restore the temple worship.
This is a SPECIFIC NUMBER of people, 144,000, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, sealed by the angel of:


Revelations 7:2........ And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3.............. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.




READ ENTIRE CHAPTER 4 OF ZECHARIAH to understand the connection of the 144,000 to become priest and kings. Also:


Revelations: 20:6.......... Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priest of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.


The BRIDE OF CHRIST is Holy Jerusalem that descends from heaven:


Revelations: 21:9........ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.


10......... And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,............


Now go to Ezekiel 16 and read entire chapter. It tells us specifically of Jerusalems abominations and the Lords cleaning up of his bride.


Ezekiel 16:9........ Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I annointed thee with oil.


Holy JERUSALEM is the BRIDE OF CHRIST!....................... Revelations 21:9
The 12 tribes of Israel are the 12 gates of Jerusalem....... Revelations 21:12
The 12 names of the apostles are the 12 foundations....... Revelations 21:14


The CHURCH IS taken in the Wheat Harvest mentioned at:


Revelations 14:14......... And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15............ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16............ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.


This is clearly talking about the (RAPTURE) of the church and all saved Christians.


This is Jesus! Notice that he does not return completely to the earth! This is the RAPTURE. And it happens right BEFORE the Wrath of God is poured out upon the earth in Chapter 16! The church will suffer tribulations and persecutions, but will NOT suffer the WRATH of GOD! It is RIGHT THERE for all to see.


The 144,000 are the 2 witnesses (the southern kingdom and the northern kingdom), divided into 12 tribes of 12,000 each. These end times Christians will prophesy about the TRUTH in Revelations and the end. They will be hated because the world has been deceived. The BEAST will hate them and make war against them because they expose the TRUTH and bring millions to Jesus Christ, out of the tribulation. The BEAST will eventually kill them and they will ascend up to heaven in a cloud.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:


This revelation is given to his SERVANTS! The servants are the prophets (which there are 144,000 of in Revelations), the saints are the church (the wheat harvest), and then there are those that fear his name, small and great........(probably those in the grape harvest).
Also........
Revelations 1:3......... Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophesy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.


Revelations 11:18......... And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to thy saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.


There is a clear seperation between the SERVANTS and the SAINTS as can be seen in this verse.


Revelations 13:7........... And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.


There will be Saints out of all kindreds, tongues, and nations that the BEAST will make war with.


Revelations 13:10..........( NLT ) Anyone who is destined for prison, will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.


(God's holy people are summoned to endure and remain faithful while experiencing temporary persecution.)


About Revelations 3:10,11,&12......... You will notice that Jesus writes the name of God, Jerusalem, and his new name upon the ones of the Philadephian church, of them that overcometh. Notice that Revelations 14:1........... The 144,000 have the Fathers name written in their foreheads. Also, Revelations was sent and signified to his SERVANTS, not the saints. It is revealed to the servants the prophets. Also, the 144,000 have already been tried and tested and found to be Totally FAITHFUL! So they are kept from this hour of temptation. The hour of temptation has to come after the 2 witnesses (the 144,000) are killed, probably right after, so they can be made an example of by the anti-christ.


No one is trying to take your blessed hope. But being a foolish virgin can mean that you miss the dance by not coming out of BABYLON! And then not making it as a firstfruit in the FIRST ASCENSION, which the FIRSTFRUITS will be part of. This is how you miss the hour of temptation, by being among the 144,000. You can't do it by worshipping Pagan entities on Pagan Holidays. Look it up, Easter is the big one! And Jesus gave you a sign, that he would be 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth as Jonas was 3days and nights in the whales belly.

Zechariah 12:3,9:
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
