So Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.”
John 4:48 — English Standard Version
Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 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? 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. And he left them, and departed.
Matthew 16:1-4 — King James Version
The Sign of Jonah
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:38-42 — King James Version
The sign of Jonah in a nutshell is Jesus died and rose from the dead 3 days later, fulfilling Bible prophecy, and the world is facing impending judgment and without repenting and accepting the Lord, accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord this judgment will be unlike anything imaginable, anything the world has ever seen — and eternal.
The world is mad with confusion, theories, predictions and all seeking signs. Many claiming they possess the answers. One false teacher, one heretic after another claiming they know when the world will end, when Jesus is returning, when this, which that, what this moon means, what that piece of burnt toast really means, what that tree sap is much more than tree sap and more and more saps and lost goats follow after it all — ignoring the signs they are given in daily life. The signs of them times. The signs of the impending end and impending judgment of God upon the world for our sinfulness and turning from Him, mocking Him, denying His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, perverting and corrupting His Word.
The world had myriad signs from the dawning of the 20th century on to the present. More than I believe in the previous 1,000 years. Especially since the 1920s to the present. Especially during the 1930s and 1940s to the present day.
I’ve had professed Christians get annoyed with me when I mention how I love history, how we all need to be aware of history, learn history, know history for everything is nothing more than one continual thread woven on the loom of life knitted into the garment of continuing world history. All tied into God’s inerrant living Word.
Everything.
And I’ve had backlash. I’ve been told history is BORING, how history has no bearing on today [are you kidding me! Every moment of every life everyday IS WHAT MAKES HISTORY!] and IRRELEVANT, and CHILDREN OF GOD DON’T NEED TO KNOW OR PAY ATTENTION THE HISTORY and on and on and on!
Regulars to A Crooked Path know how I’ve written more than a few times how every person ought to learn, know, ponder, examine and not forget the rise of to power of Adolf Hitler as a introduction, a precursor, and small example of what is coming and how it came.
What occurred in Germany after WWI and into the 1920s and 1930s and the rise of Hitler and to what it became?
Those very same things are happening worldwide now and have been happening for quite some time.
Only in what is coming? When on one knows save God?
Will make Adolf Hitler appear like an amateur, which he was compared to the coming son of perdition, the son of the Evil One to rise to worldwide power enthralling, mesmerizing and enslaving everyone in the world except those who refuse to worship him.
So, you want a sign?
Watch the video below. Then pray. Examine history. Examine even more so your Bibles. Examine your hearts. Your minds. And prepare. Prepare yourselves and may each of us truly serve and honor the Lord our God. May each of us be truly the salt of the earth and a light unto the world not of our doing, not our illumination, but that of God, Jesus within us and being recognized as God within us by those observing us.
Can we say people see that when viewing us?
I know most don’t likely see it in observing me. I’ll be the first to say and the first to say I need to work daily to serve the Lord as instructed in His Word and to be a genuine disciple as instructed in His Word.
What is coming is going to be something unlike the world has ever seen before or ever will. His voice, his appearance, everything about him will make people want to obey him, serve him, follow him, believe him and worship him to such a degree that they line up to have his name branded into their foreheads or hands.
What is coming — worldwide fascism — will make the fascism of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy appear like two tikes playing Pattycake in a sandbox in comparison. A fascism the likes of which the world has never seen and never will again.
He will lie and deceive as only the son of Satan can.
He will establish himself as the only god.
He will convince the world [watch the video below] and the world will believe him. Hang on his every word. Worship him as their god.
And for a short season he will make it appear as if he’s the answer. What the world had been always waiting for. He’ll make it appear as if he is a god and has created Utopia, Nirvana, Shangri-La on earth FINALLY!
For a short season — and with constant deception, lies and various signs and wonders to keep the masses enslaved and worshipping him. All the while he’ll be at war with the saints. Beheading them. Slaughtering them. Imprisoning them. Doing every vile possible deed to the saints on earth, the genuine remnant of true believers [whose number is unknown, but compared to the world’s population constitutes a “remnant”‘.
And a tribulation the likes of which has never occurred on earth nor never will again will take place.
Before the Lord Jesus Christ returns one more time, a Second and Final time.
History and what has come before can often be the greatest and only sign needed. If only we would pay attention along the way, and then not only pay attention but take action accordingly.
What will you do with the known history and truth presented here?
What will you do with the known history and truth presented even more importantly, more truthful, key to all of history contained in the Holy Scriptures?
What will you do about God, Jesus Christ the Lord, and the Holy Spirit while God blesses you with breath and a heartbeat?
What will you do?
Learn history. Learn real history. The how’s and why’s and how and why that is then so important to everything else, and why it all connects, is related to, ties into the Holy Scriptures.
Study. Prepare. Pray. Study the books of Daniel and Revelation and what Jesus instructs us in Matthew 24 and on His return and the end of world history as it has been known.
And let not your heart be troubled or afraid. A genuine believer ought to be aware not worried. Aware and prepared but never filled with anxiety or worry.
Learn not to fear, but learn in order to fear the Lord which is the beginning of all knowledge and wisdom as the Proverbs writer tells us, and through this knowledge, through having Jesus Christ residing within us, we living through Him not fearing anything in this world — but not putting our heads in the sand, not hiding or denying history, nor also always seeking signs or demanding signs — for the signs are everywhere to be seen heard, observed and known.
