Jonah was in the whale three days and three nights.
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."
As Jonah refused to go to Nineveh , god sent a storm and Jonah was swallowed by a big fish, could be a whale .For three days and then he was vomited on the land.
At first Jonah's relationship with God wasn't very good because God asked him to go to a city that Jonah did not want to go to so for punishment since he disobeyed God's command he was swallowed by a great fish(whale), finally Jonah went to that city and there relationship grew and was finally... how it was suppose to be! (You can get all of these answers and many other stories from the Bible, God's Word!) P.S. I am a true believer of the Bible and I also believe in Jesus Christ, the one true king.
It wasn't Noah, it was Jonah. Jonah was fleeing from God's request for him to preach to the wicked Assyrian city of Nineveh, since, as he later stated, he knew God to be merciful and he was afraid God would spare them if they repented (not a very kind attitude to have). The great fish was God's methodology of bringing Jonah back to where he started and bringing him to a point where he was ready to do what God wanted. The full account is in the Old Testament book of Jonah. Interestingly enough, despite the many scoffings over the years at the implausibility of this story, a man on a whaling expedition in the 19th century was recorded as having spent significant time in a whale, and lived to tell of it. This is not to say that Jonah's fish was actually a whale, as whales are mammals, but that it is not impossible.
No, Simon Peter, also known as Peter, is not Jonah's son. Simon Peter was a fisherman who later became one of Jesus' twelve apostles, while Jonah was a prophet from the Old Testament known for being swallowed by a great fish.
The minister's sermon was about forgiveness and the importance of letting go of grudges to live a happier and more peaceful life.
Yes, the prophet Jonah was swallowed by a whale and was stuck there for three days and three nights.

Jonah
Nowhere.The word "whale" in the English translations of the book of Jonah in the Bible is a mistranslation of the Hebrew for a "large fish". A whale is a mammal, not a fish. We do not know the kind of fish the Hebrew was referring to.
large fish. (The Bible doesn't mention a 'whale' anywhere in the book of Jonah.)
Jonah was in the stomach of a 'great fish' - assumed by many to be a whale - for three days and three nights.
The story of Job being eaten by a whale does not appear in the Bible. Job is the central character in the Book of Job, which focuses on his suffering and faithfulness to God. The account of a prophet being swallowed by a great fish or whale is found in the Book of Jonah, not Job.
The word whale occures twice in the King James version of the Bible; Job 7:12 and Ezekiel 32:2. Jonah was swollowed by a great fish. Jonah 1:17
The only reference to a whale in the bible that I am aware of is in the book of Jonah.I don't have a King James version to confirm that they do refer as the fish as a whale. I have a NIV version and it says that God provided a great fish.As a child I recall the story being told with Jonah being swallowed by a whale There are 4 references to 'whale' in the KJV Bible: Genesis 1.21 Job 7.12 Ezekiel 32.2 Matthew 12.40 In Jonah, the 'whale' is called 'a great fish' (Jonah 1.17), but Jesus calls it a whale (Matthew 12.40)
Jonah 2:10-"And the Lord spoke unto the fish and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land." So basically Jonah got up chucked,or as it states in the bible. Scientific evidence would tell you that Jonah would have some damage done to his body from the acid inside of the whale's belly(which he bible speaks nothing of).
The whale spat Jonah out on dry land.
