What is the sign of Jonah spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 12:38-42 and again in Luke 11:29-32? Let me read the passage for you. Matthew 12:38-42 38Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you." He answered them, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will rise up 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 see something greater than Solomon is here. Jonah was told by God to go to the most heathen city and call them to repentance and the Sign of Jonah is a sign that emphasizes not only repentance but forgiveness towards others. Something greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south, which in some editions of the Bible is wrongly identified as the Queen of Sheba; the original translation reads "Southern queen" the q is not capitalized. Therefore it is not a formal Queen such as the Queen of England, it's not a formal title. The original word for queen is the term "regina" which has many meanings among them are: a beautiful woman, a woman of authority, also a "belle." Like Jonah she has no formal credentials except for the call of God on her life. And like the nenevites she was once a heathen and that makes her the most appropriate witness. There are many similarities and differences when it comes to comparing the queen of the south or the "southern belle" to the Queen of Sheba; they were both so eager for wisdom that they travelled far in their faith to satisfy thier deep longing to be close to God. This message sends a warning to critics who do not desire the truth because in their pride they hate the light. Something greater than Solomon is here! But this preaching won't be regarded as a sign by an unrepentant generation, they will actually see it as an evil thing. I am not proclaiming the gospel of some new religion but the fulfillment of the one we claim to know and already have. Complete forgiveness is what we require from God and we are completely forgiven when we completely forgive others We must understand the seriousness of unforgiveness. In Matthew 5:21 Jesus likens unforgiveness to murder. In Matthew 5:24 tells us if we go to God in prayer and we have ought in our heart against another that we must go and resolve that issue before we can come back and be in the presence of God to have Him hear our prayers. In Matthew 6:15 it says if we don't forgive others then God cannot forgive us. This is how it is evident that Christ lives in us and that we live in Him is that we have love for other people. We are even encouraged to love our enemies and the people who hurt us and use us in Matthew 5:44. Many people profess to know God but their hearts are really far from Him. "Give and it will be given unto you, pressed down shaken together and running over will be poured unto your lap." many preacheers take this scripture and use it when they are taking money for the offering. But if you read the one line before that, Jesus wasn't talking about money He was talking about forgiveness. You have to understand, Jesus isn't coming back for an angry bride. He's coming back for people with a pure heart. Unforgiveness, blame, shame, these things have no place in heaven. My fervent prayer is that people will understand the seriousness of this matter and allow the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and purify it so when Christ does come we will be ready. We will be a clean pure spotless beautiful clothed in white raiment bride of Jesus Christ. The time for Christ's return is near and everyone is saying, "get ready, get ready," but nobody is really telling you HOW. The people who won't submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in purifying their heart, their lot will be left with the unclean as witnessed by Jesus' parable in Matthew. You cannot leave your heart locked up and closed, full of unforgiveness and anger towards others. Because when you forgive others it sets you free; that's the truth that truly sets you Free. Jesus last command to us was two fold. One to love God with all our heart and soul and mind. And another was like it to love others as ourselves. In doing this we fulfill the whole law. Many people are going to cry out, "Lord, Lord, what about us?" And He is going to say, "I NEVER knew you." Imagine how TERRIBLE those people will feel when they've lived their lives believing that just asking for forgiveness without forgiving others was not sufficient enough to be accepted into the Kingdom of God. If I only have one message to share with the world it is FORGIVE, FORGIVE, FORGIVE! Let me share a list with you about just what unforgiveness is: Unforgiveness according to Jesus is MURDER, it's hostile to Jesus Christ. It bears bad fruit, it's slanderous to God; it's not a lover of God or a lover of the truth - it's brutal to the truth. It's wicked and deceitful among all things, it's malicious and untrustworthy, it's unholy and undisciplined Unforgiveness is destitute of faith; unforgiveness is a truce breaker and the lowest form of degredation. It's REBELLION against God - it resembles the accuser. It despises God, it's unholy, unthankful to God for what He's given to us; it DESPISES God. It's a spirit of error, IT'S EMNITY AGAINST GOD, it's a hypocrite. It dishonors God and is reprobate. I would like to end this message by saying that God has called me to share this with the world because Christ is returning very soon. He's coming for a PURE BRIDE and many in the church think "I'm ready," but they really are not. Preachers are not sharing the second part of a two-fold message. It's not only repent, but also to forgive others. If I can only send one message it's what God shared with me when I cleaned my heart of unforgiveness and I asked God to forgive me of my uncleaness. I felt the most awesome freedom that I have ever felt and lived in peace ever since. I encourage everyone who calls themself a Christian to get on their knees, to pray about this. Ask God your ownself don't just believe me - believe GOD. Search the scriptures; don't just listen to a pastor tell you what to believe. Seek God with all your heart and soul and mind and you will find the TRUTH in the scriptures and the Word of God. Thank you for taking time to listen to my message.
