Jonah 2 : It's Time to Get Real
Jonah's prayer here is often viewed as evidence that Jonah experienced a change of heart and repented of his disobedience. But I am going to challenge this view: I do not believe Jonah “repented†of those things that led him to flee to Tarshish for his attitude at the end of ch. 4 remained the same. That which led him to run away from the Lord in the first place still has a grip on his heart. I am not saying Jonah did not acknowledge any wrongdoing – I am only saying there is a big difference between acknowledging and repenting and this prayer helps us understand that difference.

Jonah 2 : Three Days and Nights in a Fish (The Sign of Jonah)
Jesus was approached by the Pharisees and was asked to give them a sign - a sign that would convince them of who Jesus claimed to be. Jesus responded no sign would be given except the sign of Jonah. What did he mean? How is Jonah a sign pointing to faith in Jesus?
