Matthew 16:1-4
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him [Jesus] that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. [Greek name for Jonah] And he left them, and departed.
Note: What is the sign of Jonas? Jonah preached repentance to the wicked city of Nineveh after being swallowed by the whale for refusing to go at first. Later the whale vomited him up on dry land. This passage seems to agree with what Jesus preached," Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"
Matthew 4:12-17
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John [the Baptist] was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias [Isaiah] the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jonah 1:1-3
1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Time for cities and nations to repent! Pray for your own city or nation to come to God and turn from wickedness as Nineveh did.
