There is no doubt that this generation, like the generation of Christ's day, "seeketh a sign". It was quite apparent that it was important to KNOW the "sign" in order to have any degree of confidence that the "time" spoken of by Jesus was "at hand". It was mentioned in all four gospels, spoken of by Jesus several times under different conditions--and addressed to different kinds of people.

In the case of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, each sought a sign that Jesus WAS who He claimed to be. He KNEW they were trying to set Him up as they had done many times. His answer was plain and simple and was clearly a parable so that they would NOT understand and "be converted" after the "modern order of things." He KNEW what sign they were looking for, because the J-ws were looking for a supernatural, CERTAIN event. He made it clear that they would receive no sign because they were an evil, adulterous generation--except the sign of JONAH which was a well-known story to all of them. It was not just about the the STORY of Jonah which typified the reluctance of the Chosen people of God to give warning of evil to come. It was very specifically about the "three days and three nights in the belly of the whale."

To the disciples, however, He made it quite clear (in all four gospels) that it was not just indicative of the present generation (meaning them because they were all of the belief that they would experience it all in THEIR generation--and they were only inquiring about THEIR concept of the end which was the END of the JEWISH dispensation); it was also including the complete sweep of the future and the LAST "end" which was a completely different word altogether. Thus, He was speaking BOTH their time and OUR time. Because WE are ALSO an evil, adulterous generation as well, the only sign WE would receive would be the same "three days and three nights in the heart of the EARTH."

It is only natural, then, that we should be inquiring what this "sign" entails and why it holds such importance to us in its "supernatural" aspect and its degree of CERTAINTY which we all are seeking for in this "last day" and "end" of the world. It is more than just coincidence or happenstance that this subject has been totally corrupted and misunderstood by so many for TWO THOUSAND YEARS. "History has seen to it that we DO NOT see nor do not understand what significance this sign has for us in THIS generation. Even the most learned of scholars, the most spiritually minded people from a VARIETY of churches and venues; and the most radical of thinkers throughout time have totally missed the point--and almost all of them have fallen for the lies surrounding it.

There is a long history surrounding this, and we have all lost sight of it for a variety of reasons. A book could be written on the history, alone and how the FACTS were lost, found again, lost again; and corrupted in such convoluted ways; that the truth could no longer be ascertained. This is how we have ALL come to believe the lie, and it has been a deliberate lie from day one. Even those who learned the truth had great difficulty in reconciling what was now known with what was "set in stone" in their belief structure. In the next posting (so as to not make this too long), I will attempt to relate some of the history so that we can come to some actual conclusions on the matter.
