Yes, Jonah was swallowed by a large fish. A man of God like Jonah never adherad to the instructions of God that attracted trouble to the sailors and travelers, the brought trouble to the ship and the passengers throw Jonah in to the sea than a fish swallow the prophet and flowed him to Nineveh. If a persons disagree with God, it may result to trouble
