Dear Jeff,
In my study today I read Luke 11:30—For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. And also in Matthew 12:40—For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jonah 1:17 says—Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 2:10 says—And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
I am wondering if you have done any study on that prophecy as it relates to us? I heard a preacher say he believes we will be in the time of trouble for 3 1/2 years. But when you said that the whole Bible fits into the last six verses of Daniel 11, I believe it. It is all for us in the last days. But I just wondered if you had any information on this for our day?
Our new study group begins January 6 and is expected to be every Tuesday in my home. I plan to prepare study guide materials for this group. Please pray for our little group here in Canada. Thanks PV.

Sister PV,
“The subject of Nineveh, her lengthened probation, and the consequent grief of Jonah, was presented to me as a parallel case with our own disappointment in 1844.” Life Sketches, 204.
We will continue to keep you and your work in prayer. Greetings to I. Jeff.
