a BIG fish swallowed him! - Jonah & the Whale

We cannot run away from God's calling and that His plans are always greater than our own.

[WISDOMBRINGSCLARITY]

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

[Goldwithelocs]

Tbh it might be my favorite story as a child! That’s why Jesus says an adulterous generation will always get the prophet Jonah, he was so bold for that 😭

[zachdaniels]

I'm just glad that Jonah didn't get pooped out.

[Pious]

And people say it's a whale, when the bible says great fish 🐠

[BleachMr]

I think the fish is leedsichthys, it’s a whale like fish that lived during the Jurassic.

Right all there only a small amount of them in the Bible who got to be in godly prophecy but when you do this or ask for something nothing happens explain

[xostxlla_x]

He was in the big fish mouth for 3 days.

[WORDversesWORLD]

He didn't survive being in a fish, it's more realistic to believe God raised him! And it wasn't just because he was stubborn, he was afraid for his life!

[GuyFromPakistan]

That's a Miracle of Almighty Allah who can do anything no doubt ❤

[MaryMargaretteWhite-ektn]

That “Big Fish” was actually a small room in a small town. That was prison….for three months.

[danibeck]

Why do so many people cut off the story there? Thats not the interesting part or the message of Jonah's story!

[GuyFromPakistan]

Beshak Allah is the Only God and Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) is His Last Messenger ❤

The hebrew word which is written in the book of jonah 1:17 is "דג גדול"(Dag gadol) which means "a huge fish". here the gender of the fish is masculine[Strong's Hebrew 1709 דג]. but in Jonah 2:1, it is written הדגה(hadagah). here the gender of the fish is feminine [Strong's Hebrew 1710 דָּגָה]. does that mean that Jonah was swalloed by a male fish but he prayed inside from a female one?
Answer: The root of dag is dagah which primerly mean "To cover with darkness", not only in hebrew but in Arabic and in greek this word denotes the idea of covering of darkness or intense darkness. [Gesenius Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon of Old Testament page 189]. Hence the translation should be "And jonah was in the deepth of deep covering darkness three days and three nights" Jonah 1:17
"Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of deep covering darkness" jonah 2:1
As it is written in the quran "AND remember him of the great fish, when he went off in wrath, thinking that We had no power over him, But then he cried out in the deep darkness (of his distress):"There is no deity save Thee! Limitless art Thou in Thy glory Verily, I have done wrong" [Quran 21:87].

Jonah headed to Tarshish bc it was in the oposite direction and he knew it would offend God (God has strong feelings about the ships of tarshish and sending strong winds to them) he realizes he cannot escape God on land or on sea so when the opportunity arises he tells the sailors to throw him overboard. To kill him. Then in offers up a fake prayer in the fish. He regurgitates a bunch of psalms then tells God that pagans are dirty worthless idol worshippers who turn their back on God’s mercy. God’s response is to have the fish vomit him. Jonah then cripples and sabotages the message to Nineveh and despite his efforts God still forgives. So then Jonah asks to die over and over bc he views what God did as evil

This could have been a basking shark, they have hugh mouths but eat only Placton, The poibt is this great fish was prepared by Almighty God for his purpose. Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.

Stop lying about prophets. He wasn't a stubborn prohphet. He made a mistake and God corrected him after he paryed for forgiveness.

[Yunaeee-]

As an muslim, isnt he "YUNUS A.S"?

[jacobbring]

Jonah was about a 5 foot-guy to fit inside the fish's belly.

[raviraj]

Jonah was not stubborn he was one of the great man and secondly bible say was big fish not necessarily whale

[farhanaafroz]

Um it’s Prophet Yunus and he is not Jonah and God is Allah not Jesus or Bhagwan
