How do we know Jonah is a historical figure?

Answered in 1 source

The existence of Jonah as a historical figure is affirmed by Jesus Christ, who references him as a sign of His own resurrection (Matthew 12:40).

The historical reality of Jonah is validated by the testimony of Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:40, where He compares Jonah's three days in the belly of the fish to His own death and resurrection. This connection not only confirms Jonah's existence but also places him within the larger narrative of redemption that points to Christ. Thus, the biblical account of Jonah should be understood as a genuine historical event rather than a mere allegory.
