Was Jonah Really Swallowed By A Great Fish Or Is It Just A Myth?

Was Jonah Really Swallowed By A Great Fish Or Is It Just A Myth?

I was invited to a podcast a week ago to talk about why I believe what I believe- my faith in Christ. There were a total of 4 people in the discussion, I included. During our exchange, one of the hosts who is supposedly a believer in Christ asked me whether I believed that Jonah was actually swallowed by a great fish. And I answered affirmatively; to my surprise he was laughing and thought the story was fictional and not historical. He said that it was a metaphor, but a metaphor for what? 

Today I’ll be discussing why I believe the account of Jonah being in a belly of a great fish  for three days was actually historical, see video below
