This is the most significant piece of scripture in the entire New Testament, the sign of Jonah, where we place our hope of salvation upon the one who fulfills this very sign. Question is did Jesus (Yeshua) fulfill the sign or did He not fulfill it? This would make the scripture in Corinthians true and thus “…then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain” (1Co15:14). Another question is could we have been following traditions and ignoring the truth and Yeshua (Jesus) really did fulfill the ONE and ONLY sign that will be given as proof of who you should place your trust in. Let’s look at the scripture:
“For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.” Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Mat 12:37-40 NAS)
