Unfortunately, It seems that we learn them best down in the depths of the valley. No where in this book does it say Whale. The King James translates it Whale but almost ALL other translations say Sea Monster or Great fish. Desire of Ages p. 406 says Whale. I am going to call it a Whale.
Whales get quite large.
One whale is as large as 50 Elephants. They think it was a parable or something. From the Catholic church on down unbelief is strong. It has been amusing to me that since people have heard about this series on Jonah that so many have come up to me trying to prove the possiblilty of a miracle. Several well meaning persons have told me of stories showing how it possible for a person to live a certain number of days in the belly of a whale.
