The Abrahamic sacrifice of his son.

[Brian37]

It's the same with the whale the swallowed Jonus. It represented his grief form in the spiritual world, it overcame him. 

And the animals on the navigating ships that are by the name of God in their sial, it refers to aspects of humans. We unite all aspects of the animal and plant world, and every aspect has two versions, two pairs. 

And the one to carry and drive is the Leader and Guide, the Captain, who all things are embraced and encompassed in.

If a whale were to in reality swallow you, you would DIE.

Again, you keep failing to understand that the further back in time the more humans LITERALLY believed those were more than just metaphor.
