Conclusion of Josh and the Big Fish

'Throw me into the sea, and the sea will become calm again,' Jo'nah says.  The sailors don't want to do it, but as the storm gets worse they finally throw Jo'nah overboard. Right away the storm sops, and the sea is calm again.

As Jo'nah sinks down into the water, the big fish swallows him.  But he doesn't die.  For three days and three nights he is in the belly of that fish.   Jo'nah is very sorry that he did not obey  Jehovah and go to Nin'e-veh.  So do you know what he does?

Jo'nah prays to Jehovah for help.  Then Jehovah makes the fish vomit Jo'nah onto dry land. After that  Jo'nah goes to Nin'e-veh.  Doesn't this teach us how important it is that we do whatever Jehovah says?
