| JONAH the story of a man...
|
 |
Jonah is a prophet from the Bible (B.C.) to whom God conferred a special
mission. He, however, preferred running away from God's presence and decided to
take a small ocean cruise which ended with
a three days and three nights stay in
the belly of a huge fish. He was just about to die when the fish miraculously
vomited him up onto a beach !
Jonah is the first man to have toured the Mediterranean Sea in a bio submarine...!! |
