Matthew 16:1-12
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Jesus they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' 3And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah." Then he left them and went away.
The same intent and beliefs the people held for omens and circumstances should have been applied to the Word of God-the Torah. For in God's Law, are the signs for Messiah-and any and all who would read and look out for the signs given therein would recognise the time of Messiah. And that that time was now!
What then is this sign of Jonah? Simply a call to repent before the Judgement of God should fall upon them. Nineveh repented after Jonah took God's Grace to them-so must Israel.
God Bless His Word.
