or:What kind of fish swallowed Jonah (Bible story) And could this really happen?

or:The bible doesn't say. Only a whale has a gullet big enough to pass a man, and a whale is not a fish.People often speak in figures of speech, so the bible does too. A figure of speech is a departure from the normal patterns of language for the purpose of emphasizing something. The simplest figure of speech is the SIMILE. A simile emphasizes a similarity of two things by merely saying it: \"You are like a dog\

or:Whale. Not a fish

or:The Bible tells us at Jonah 1:17, \u2018Jehovah now sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah, so that Jonah came to be in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.\u2019 The Bible never specify what type of fish swallowed Jonah but there are a few fish that is capable to swallow an adult without damaging them. According to the Bible this miraculous event was only possible because of Jehovah God making it possible for Jonah to come out after three days of the fish belly alive. This is not a fairy tale for it is recorded in the Bible to teach us the power, mercy and love Jehovah has for us. It also teaches us the blessings of obedience and the consequences of disobedience. In the end Jonah learned a good lesson on relying on the Grand Creator. It leaves a model for us to follow so we could have Jehovah\u2019s blessings also.
