CHRISTIANNEWS.COM.- On the coast of Cape Cod, New England, a man was swallowed by a humpback whale in the same way as the biblical character, Jonah.
56-year-old Michael Packard was searching for lobsters when he was swallowed by the fish.
The man felt a great blow and then he could only perceive the darkness. Packard believed that he had been attacked by a great white shark, but he saw no teeth.
“My God, I’m in the mouth of a whale and it’s trying to swallow me. I thought to myself, ‘Hey, this is it. I will finally die. There is no way out of here,” Michael Packard told a local news station in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Packard said he was still breathing inside the animal thanks to the regulator on his scuba tank.
“I realized that there was no way to outrun a beast of that size. I was going to do what I wanted to do. He was going to spit me out or swallow me,” she said.
“Suddenly, it came to the surface, exploded and started shaking its head. They threw me into the air and I fell into the water,” recalls Packard. I was free and just floated there. I couldn’t believe it… I’m here to tell you.”

This story is similar to how Jonah was swallowed by a fish. In the case of the biblical character, it happened because of a punishment from God for not wanting to preach to the people in Nineveh.
“Then the Lord caused a great fish to swallow Jonah, and he stayed in the fish for three days and three nights.” (Jonah 1:17).
Pakard was taken to the hospital and released the same day. The captain of the boat would have saved him when he was expelled by the animal, and later expressed to him how lucky he had been to be alive.
