“I’d believe it if it said Jonah swallowed the great fish.”
Jesus and also the book of Jonah itself indicate that Jonah DIED in the whale.
Then God raised up both Jonah from the fish and Jesus from the tomb.
Check yer Scriptures; which state that God prepared a great fish, which swallowed Johnah. As to whether he died and was resurrected, that would make him seem to be a type of Christ. My only problem wit dat is that Jonah was rebelling at the time. I’ll withhold further comment.
