When in the Bible does Jonah die?

Answer 1

Did Jonah really die in the fish or did he survive three days?

God appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, as he appointed many other things of his creation that are recorded in the book of Jonah. Many people believe that Jonah stayed alive in the fish for three days and that is the miracle but this is not what the Scripture portrays of this event. It says he cried from "Out of the belly of the fish". The waters surrounded him even to his soul. This is an expression implying death (Ps.69:1. Jer.4:10) the deep closed, weeds wrapped around his head. His body sank to the moorings of the Mountains, where they begin (under land level). Showing he sank to the bottom before he was swallowed by the fish- which implies He died. While his soul went too the place of the dead, the fish comes and swallows up his body and it is preserved it for 3 days.

Regardless, all Christians agree that if God had wanted to, He could have preserved Jonah alive in that fish, or God could have let Jonah die and then be brought back to life in that fish.
