because he did not obey God right away and go to were he wanted him to go so God ponished him
Yes, the prophet Jonah was swallowed by a whale and was stuck there for three days and three nights.
it was a whale, so likely, it just swam awayAnswerNo. We are told in the Book of Jonah that a 'great fish' swallowed him, spitting him out three days later. There is a common misconception that it was a 'whale' as this is not mentioned at all in the Hebrew scriptures, nor do whales live in the seas surrounding the area where the story of Jonah was set. Many critics of this story believe it to be fiction as it would be impossible for Jonah (or anyone else) to be swallowed by a fish like this and survive. However, there have been several well-documented cases of sailors and others swallowed either by whale sharks (the largest species of fish in the world) and other large mammals such as whales, and surviving.Therefore, as such a fish would be very large, it would be impossible for Jonah to have 'eaten' it.
fish will live 3 days without food.
I am not so sure the Story of Jonah is a parable - a short, comparative tale to relay an important message. The Scripture presents Jonah as a real person who had an unusual event happen to him. Even today, Japanese fisherman have discovered a live human inside a large fish (whale in this case). Because they asked Jesus for a sign of His Messiahship, He told them the only sign would be that of Jonah - a comparison or 'parable' of what was about to occur. As Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the great fish, Jesus would be 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the Earth - the grave or hell. Those who speculate on His dying on a Friday afternoon and rising on an early Sunday morning, apparently denounce this one and only sign given. No matter how one counts, you will never arrive at 3 twelve hour days and 3 twelve hour nights.
Fish flies live for about 24 hours or even a couple of days!
Some fish live only a few months, where others can live for over 100 years.
