Who in the Bible was swallowed by a whale and lived?
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.

How long was Jonah trapped in the whale?
He was in the whale Three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17Answer:Due to some unfortunate translations in the King James Bible ... the originally inspired wording doesn't say Jonah was swallowed by a "whale." It says:"...Now the Lord had PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Johah..." (Jonah 1:17).Even Matthew's KJV use of the word "whale" is originally inspired as: "ketos" (kay'-tos) - "a huge fish."So, while it could possibly have been a whale... it may not have been. It says that God "specially prepared" a great fish. This may have been a whale, a specially prepared accomodating fish of some other variety... or a very special great fish that never existed before (or since).

What connections does the story Jonah and the big fish have to the life and death of Christ?
One connection Jonah has with Jesus Christ is that in Matthew 12:38-40 is that some of the scribes and Pharisees said, "Teacher, we want a sign from you". But Jesus answered, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".
