Bible Question: What kind or type of whale or fish could have swallowed Jonah? |
Bible Answer: Ok, Nolan, Getting serious. There could have been what scientist would call prehistoric fishes of such huge dimensions like we don't have today. Job 41:1 and Psalm 104:26 both speak of Leviathan. There would have been a lack of oxygen but If God could have provided a fish right at that time, He could have made provision for Jonah to survive. I wish I could remember where I heard it, but on TV not too long ago, I heard about a man who had been swallowed by, I think it was a sperm whale. It was killed shortly thereafter and the man was still alive, although badly burned by the gastric juices and blind. (He probably didn't have too many people who enjoyed breathing around him for a while either. I can't help it - your comments to my "big one" still has me laughing!). If this could happen now without God's orchestrating it for scripture, I know he could do it then. So I believe it was a sea dwelling dinosaur. Your sister- Deb |
