Inside a whale
Jonah Was inside the the big fish for three days and three nights
As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so Jesus was three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth
"Three days and three nights"
None. It was Jonah not Noah that was in the whale. He was there for three days and three nights.
Jonah...Jonah 1:17 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.Answer:The inspired scripture doesn't say "whale." It says that God "...PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah..." (Jonah 1:17).It doesn't reveal what kind of fish... or if this "special" fish is extant today as a species.Nor does it say that Jonah was alive for those three days and three nights in the fish's belly. We are only told that in the fish's belly Jonah prayed... but not for how long.Jesus gave the "sign of Jonas" as THE ONLY "proof of His Messiahship:"...An evil and adulterous generation SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: For AS Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly [again, the inspired word is 'KETOS' -- or, HUGE FISH]; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." (Matt.12:40)How was Jesus [after the manner of Jonah] in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? Was He alive... or was He dead?Of course... He was "resurrected" from the dead... just AS Jonah was resurrected when: "...it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." (Jonah 2:10)If Jonah was alive three days and three nights in the fish's belly... then so was Jesus alive [AS Jonah was] -- which would mean He never paid our ransom... the ONLY SIGN HE GAVE OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP FAILED... and Jesus Christ is not the Messiah.Yes, Jonah lived... but only after he was revived after three days and three nights.
3 days and nights. Do note however that the use of days and nights in that manner is Hebraically idiomatic. 3 days and nights does not have to mean 72 hours, and can be any part of 3 days and nights.
Jonah?As in Jonah and the whale?Jonah 1:17 - Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. [NKJV]
Yes, the prophet Jonah was swallowed by a whale and was stuck there for three days and three nights.
Elements of Jonah's three days in the belly of a great fish are paralleled in the New testament by Jesus' three days in the tomb. This is mentioned as being so in Matthew 12:40 (KJV): 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.
They both spent three days and three nights in the "deep". Jonah three days in depths of the sea, in the belly of the fish (the Bible does not say whale) and Jesus three days in the depths of the earth.
