THE SIGN OF JONAH


Matthew 12:38-45

38 Then some of the Pharisees
And Teachers of the Law said to Him,
'Teacher, we want to see a Miraculous Sign from You.'

39 He answered,
'A WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION
ASKS FOR A MIRACULOUS SIGN!
BUT NONE WILL BE GIVEN IT
EXCEPT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAH.

40 FOR AS JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHT
IN THE BELLY OF A HUGE FISH,
SO THE SON OF MAN WILL BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS
IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH.

41 THE MEN OF NINEVEH WILL STAND UP AT THE JUDGMENT
WITH THIS GENERATION AND CONDEMN IT;
FOR THEY REPENTED ATTHE PREACHING OF JONAH,
AND NOW ONE GREATER THAN JONAH IS HERE.

42 THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH WILL RISE AT THE JUDGMENT
WITH THIS GENERATION AND CONDEMN IT;
FOR SHE CAME FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
TO LISTEN TO SOLOMON'S WISDOM,
AND NOW ONE GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE.

43 WHEN AN EVIL SPIRIT COMES OUT OF A MAN,
IT GOES THROUGH ARID PLACES SEEKING REST
AND DOES NOT FIND IT.

44 THEN IT SAYS,
'I WILL RETURN TO THE HOUSE I LEFT.'

WHEN IT ARRIVES, IT FINDS THE HOUSE UNOCCUPOED,
SWEPT CLEAN AND PUT IN ORDER.

45 THEN IT GOES AND TAKES WITH IT
SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN ITSELF,
AND THEY GO IN AND LIVE THERE.

AND THE FINAL CONDITION OF THAT MAN
IS WORSE THATN THE FIRST.

THAT IS HOW IT WILL BE WITH THIS WICKED GENERATION.
(Matthew 12:38-45)

Just as as Christ Jesus lived in a Wicked Generation,
So we live in a Wicked Generation.

Will this Wicked Generation Repent,
As the Church of Jesus Christ tells them they Must?
It certainly does not seem likely.

Nineveh Repented because they Fear the God of Israel
Today, there is No Fear of God in our Culture.
There is even the question:
Is there Fear of God in the “Church.”
Does the “Church” preach
What happens in the End of Time;
What is the result of the Sins of people?

Christ Jesus preached
What was going to happen in the End of Time.
Has the “Church” become Ashamed of His Words?

Today, America is like the man with the Evil spirit;
She was given Birth by God Almighty,
But has chosen to go her own way,
And today is seven times worse
Than when she began.

Nineveh will stand in Judgment of America.
