This Lobster diver claims that he was swallowed by a humpback
whale. I know it sounds crazy.
But Michael Packard was swimming off the coast of Cape Cod,
trying to find lobsters. When suddenly this big huge hump
back, whale wrapped its mouth around Michael and engulfed him
whole Michael. At first didn't know what had
happened, and he just felt like this.
And then he realized I'm inside of a whale's mouth.
He started to freak out. He started to get scared, and
think, I'm never going to see my wife and children again.
And then before he had a chance to think about these things
within 30 seconds, the whale spats Michael out.
Now, many people have actually accused Michael Packard of
telling a pack of Lies. Why have they done this?
Well, Michael suffered very minor injuries and people say
how can you come out whole whale's mouth of?
Just a few scratches. That all being said, there is
actually one man who totally believes Michael story.
This man is called Rhino's, Shimmer.
And a shim is a wildlife. Conservationists who spends much
time in the ocean filming wildlife.
And in 2019 Reiner had a similar encounter to Michael.
Except for this time when he was swallowed, by the whale, someone
caught it on camera, and he has photographic evidence to prove
it. So if it is very possible for a
human being to be swallowed whole by a whale, why is it that
so many people say that the story of Jonah is a load of
nonsense for those of you who have never heard the name Jonah
before Joe. Jonah was a man in the Bible who
was told to go and preach to the people of Nineveh.
The people of Nineveh been doing wicked things.
And God said, I am going to bring judgment upon this people.
So Jolla, I want you to go ahead and I want you to warn them but
Jonah ran away from God, he went down to a place called Chopper
got on a boat and went as far away as possible.
From Nineveh trying to get to a place called tarshish, as genres
on the boat, a great storm came upon the sea and it was clear
that God was anger of Jonah. So, eventually Jonah was thrown
into the sea and the storm was stilled.
What do you think was lurking around in the depths of the sea?
God, had prepared a great, big fish and it came and it
swallowed Jonah. Whole.
I know this is going to sound totally crazy, but some
Christians actually believe that Jonah died in the belly of the
fish and let me let you into a secret.
I'm actually one of those Christians.
Why have I come to this conclusion?
Well, it's so interesting. When you read Jonah chapter 2.
You can hear Jonah sorted prophesying as he prays is
almost as if he's predicting his death.
Now. I don't want to force my
opinions on anybody. But I'm just going to read some
verses from Jonah chapter 2 and I want you to do the work, you
tell me. Do you think Jonah really did
die in the belly of the fish? Jonah, chapter 2, verse 2, says
this, out of the belly of Sion. I cried and she all is another
word for the grave. The Abode of the Dead verse 5.
The waters. Who's Dan over me to?
Take my life verse 6, I went down to the land, whose bars
closed upon me forever, verse 7, when my life was fainting away
now, perhaps, you still disagree with me, and that's absolutely
fine. You know, me by now.
I'm not the guy who likes to have debates and arguments with
anyone. But can I just ask you this,
huge, big question if Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
And if that was the most important thing, the
resurrection, why did Jesus Christ use Jonah as As a sign of
his bodily, Resurrection, if Jonah never died.
Listen to the words of Christ. He said this for as Jonah, was
three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish.
So will the son of man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth. And as The Story Goes, I believe
it's interpreted like this. Jonah was swallowed by that
fish. He died in the belly of the
whale. And then when that fish spat him
out, or the Lord made the fish to vomit him out, John was
resurrected and brought back to life.
Again, perhaps you still disagree with me, but you've got
to ask the question. What was Jesus talking about
when he was talking about Jonah and his bodily, Resurrection.
So Jonah is the first story that many people believed to be fake.
But it's 100% true. What's the second one?
Well, since we started talking about the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus Christ, let's consider that one because many
people say to me the Lord Jesus Christ.
He didn't really write and the dead.
Listen to what the Apostle Paul said if cry.
Christ is not risen then our preaching is empty and your
faith is also empty. So, in other words, Paul is
saying this, if Jesus Christ didn't really raised himself
back from the dead. Well, then Christianity is a
hoax. And every single one of us
Christians has been wasting our lives worshiping a dead savior,
but everyone now take a deep breath because the resurrection
is actually one of the best attested facts in world history.
And if you're a skeptic, if you're Annie, If you're someone
who does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm going to give
you three hard questions. I want to ask you if you doubt
that. The resurrection is really true.
Number one. What year were you born in?
Suppose you were born in 1997, 1997 years, after who after
Jesus? You see, we measure our timeline
because of Jesus Christ, A.D. Stands for in the year of Our
Lord be C stands for before Christ.
When Jesus rose from the dead, he shook the world so much that
he split time into and now right now everything we do every event
in world history is measured back to that one fact that Jesus
rose from the dead. So if Jesus Christ didn't really
rise from the dead, why is it that your birthday is measured
after a carpenter who lived 2,000 years ago in a place
called Nazareth number to Jesus Christ.
After he rose from the dead appeared to 500 eyewitnesses.
It's a not only were they are witnesses, a good proportion.
Of them were also martyred. You see the Romans, the Jews,
that the religious leaders. They did not want this news to
escape that Jesus Christ had rose from the dead.
They did not want this Christianity to blow up.
So they said to some of those men who said we're going to
preach Christ. We're gonna preach Christ
crucified and the resurrected Lord.
There's nothing that's going to stop us.
Those religious leaders. Those Romans said be quiet or we
will put you to death and they said no we cannot be quiet.
We must preach. What we have seen and so many of
them died for what they saw. Simon.
The Zealot was allegedly sawn into Andrew, was crucified.
James has executed. Matthew was slain by a halberd.
Some say that Bartholomew was beaten.
Then drowned Thomas was stabbed with Spears, James.
Son of alphaeus, was stoned and tradition tells us.
You remember Peter in the Bible or Pisa was told he was going to
be crucified and he said no I cannot I am not worthy to die
the same way that my Save you tight and so they crucified him.
Upside down. My dear friends, these men died
horrific deaths because they could not keep silent.
They could not stop reaching the Christ.
They saw crucified at the Christ.
They saw risen from the dead and psychology, actually teaches us.
This the human mind will refuse to die for something.
It knows to be a lie. So, if the disciples and Jesus
made up this hoax, it was all a trick.
If it was all an invention. Why were these These men willing
to die for a story. They are just made up and the
third. And perhaps the biggest piece of
evidence is the church. When Jesus rose from the dead,
people started to gather to worship this God.
Man. Who did The Impossible who shook
the World by bringing himself back to life and then churches
grew, and they exploded right across the whole world.
And here we are in 2021 right now.
As I'm filming this video. There are millions of Christians
right across the world and if you are a Steel.
And you're watching this right now, tell me where you watching
this from in the world right now.
I'd love to hear it in the comment box below.
So my question to you if you're a skeptic if you don't believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ, why have so many people been touched
with this God, man, who says that he forgives Sinners?
Who says the rose from the dead? Why have so many lives been
changed? Criminals have been reformed
addictions have been beaten. People have been cured from
illnesses from sicknesses. Jesus.
Christ is a wonderful Savior and all these people around The
world have felt the love of God in their life and I just want to
say to you if you're watching this video right now and Jesus
hasn't touched your life. I beg you come to the Gentle
Savior comes the Risen Lord for. He will change you and give you
eternal life and the third and final Bible story.
That sounds fake but is 100%. True is the worldwide flood when
God created the human race as they grew in number.
So did their wickedness and God looks out his creation and he
was Evening is hearts of men and women had turned from him and
have rebelled and done all kinds of wicked things.
The Bible puts it like this. Then the Lord saw the wickedness
of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And so, because the Lord's heart was totally broken at this
people that he'd made at this people, he loved, but they
rebelled against him so much, God punished them by sending his
judgment upon the whole Earth. And a worldwide flood, but
before this happened, there was one man, one man.
One righteous man called, Noah found Grace, in the eyes of the
Lord, and God told Noah to build an ark and Noah bathe.
So Noah and his family and the Animals each to from each kind
entered into the ark and were kept totally safe while this
flood happened or the rest of the creation, those men, and
women who had gone their own way, were totally destroyed.
And when it was all over God, put a rainbow in the sky and he
said to This is my Covenant between man and me.
In other words. There was a promise there that
God would never again flood the whole earth.
Now today, very sadly. The story of Noah at best is
seen as a cute little children story and at worst.
It is seen as a myth. But is there any evidence that
there really was wants a worldwide flood across this
earth. Now, am I the only one who finds
it? Absolutely fascinating, that 71%
of our world? Is covered by water.
Now, what scientists will tell us?
They will say, well actually, the way this world got water.
Water first came from asteroids and comets that were covered in
ice and they fell down to Earth but I think a more logical
perhaps I'm wrong. I'm not a scientist.
But I think a more logical conclusion could be this the
because of the water cycle that goes back from precipitation to
evaporation to condensation because this cycle goes over and
repeats itself over and over again.
Does it make sense that a huge remnants of water is Left Behind
after this world wide flood or something else?
That blows my mind is there are actually billions and billions
of dead things, buried beneath layers, and layers of sediments.
There are even fish fossil fish that have been caught, trying to
eat another fossil fish perfectly preserved in time.
But what else could cause this apart from a rapid burial caused
by a global worldwide flood. It's very interesting, isn't it?
And it's not just fish that have been perfectly preserved.
You will find full complete dinosaur, skeletons, other kinds
of animals that are found again all in the same area.
And Common Sense would say that really wouldn't happen normally
because suppose a dinosaur died, you would get all kinds of
different scavengers, taking bits of the dinosaur, to
different parts, and it'll be all scattered across different
areas. But instead know the bones are
found together in one place. So what else is a logical?
Conclusion? For all of this but a sudden
worldwide flood which buried all of these animals and preserve
them perfectly beneath the ground.
My dear friend above all, never forget this.
The ark is so much more than geology and science know, the
art represents Jesus Christ. Just like Noah and his family.
When they go in the ark, they were protected from the
judgments of God. So, Anyone who puts on the Lord
Jesus Christ, anyone who is Is covered by the blood that he
shed at the cross. That washes away.
All of our sins is protected from the Judgment.
That will one day come and the judgment will not be water.
My dear friends, but the Judgment of God will be in fire.
The Bible says this and anyone not found written in the Book of
Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.
Now, you probably already knew this about me, but I'm not the
smartest man in town and as I touched on science, I'll be
honest. I've been out.
Like that for today, I'm no scientist.
But even though I'm not the smartest man in town.
There is one thing, I know, I know that some of you watching
this video right now. If you died right now, you would
end up in that Lake of Fire and my dear friends that absolutely
terrifies me. So I plead with you.
I'm a Street Preacher. I'm Not Too Proud to Beg, I
plead with you. I beg you today.
Run into the arms of the Gentle, Savior, the Son of God, who died
on that, cross for you. Who said, I'll take the
punishment. For your sin, but if you reject
him, well, then God will say, no, you will take the punishment
for your sin, for all of eternity.
So comes the Lord. Jesus Christ, have your sins,
forgiven be clothed in his righteousness and know the love
of God. The one who created you, the
only knitted you together in the womb, know him as your lord and
God and worship him today. No one more thing before you go.
I do wonder if there's someone watching this video and you're
thinking what is how like Joe well if that's you.
He's going to watch this video. I do admit.
It is one of my longest videos, but I do think it's very
important that every single one of those watches this and
considers. What is Hell, really like, and
if you would like more Bible teaching, please do consider
subscribing. We'd love your friendship here
at off the curb Ministries. God bless you all.
And thank you for watching.
