Anent to the parallelism of a Prophet being "buried" and "rising from the dead"... Jonah's task was to deliver a message from God to the people, for them to repent. And they DID listen to him --to which God relented and did not punish them as He had originally intended to.
IF or should we all follow the vital Message given to us by The Messenger, then we will also be spared of the punishment that MAY BE inflicted upon us otherwise...
That's my take on that tune.
Peace be with you!

Or, you could look at Jonah, and Jesus as reluctant prophets. The fish/grave thing doesn't work very well, because Jesus died Friday night, and was up before sunrise on Sunday. That's 36 hours at best.
Jonah got tossed in the water, because the sailors thought that would save them. Better that one man die, than all of them.
Jesus was put in the ground, for much the same reason.

THE SIGN OF JONAH IS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW LONG JESUS WOULD BE IN THE GRAVE; IT TELLS HIS MESSIAHSHIP WHICH PEOPLE CAN'T REPLACE!
HE WOULD BE 3 DAYS [ 12HRS. X 3DAYS = 36HRS. ]
HE WOULD BE 3 NIGHTS [12HRS X 3NIGHTS = 36HRS]
36 + 36 = 72HRS. IN THE GRAVE [24HRS. X 3 DAYS = 72HRS.]

A good foundation (1Tim.6:19) has solid ground evidence. The foundation should include 2Tim.3:16; Isaiah 28:9-10; 2Peter 1:19-21; 1Thess.5:20-21 & Ephes.5:9-10,13. To understand deeply--you must use these websites:

If you read Daniel 9:27; it says "he died in the middle of the week"; that would be Wednesday. This is followed by "3 days & 3 nights" = Matthew 12:40 which equals 1-24hr.day x 3days equals 72hrs. in grave. Next the Bible tells us it would be "after 3days and "not before = Matt.27:63-64 and Mark 8:31. It tells us in three days (John 2:19-21) and not after. The Bible also reminds us a day is 12hrs. not including the night(John 11:9-10). Remember also Gen.1:5 and Lev.23:32 tells us "evening to evening" is considered to be a day.

Now I know this is true because the MAJORITY(Matt.7:13) is always wrong. Also there's many clues that it wasn't a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection; look at 2Tim.2:18. But you will point out Mark 16:9 which says "Now when Jesus was risen[the perfect tense is correct here--he was already risen] early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene." Now the original Greek didn't have no punctuation. If the King James translators put a comma after the word "risen" and not after "week", this would make complete sense. The Centenary Translation renders it this way: "Now after his resurrection, early on the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene

It means 72 hours equal 36 hours - according to the resurrection myth he stayed 36 hours in the tomb before he came back as a living dead. Strange Christian mathematics.

It would be more fun if you didn't answer the Question yourself. Why ask a question if you already know the answer?

It's a parallel of Jesus' death and Resurrection, only Jesus didn't sin.
