Sign of Jonah - A miracle or a lie of Jesus?

Question

Jonah returned alive in this miracle.

Did Jesus fulfill the prophecy?

Yes! only if he was alive after the so called crucifixion.

The pophecy itself necessitates an alive Jesus otherwise no similarity with the miracle of Jonah.

Your opinion pls.

Addition: Yes! more than 500 people saw jesus but the question is whether he was alive after the crucifixion or he raised from the dead?

If he raised from the dead, 3rd day, then he surely tested the death which is against the propphecy.
The prophecy was not fulfilled??
Think again!

Even you cannot prove 3 days & 3 nights in the Tomb?? Think again!

Answer 1

As Jonah was three days in the belly of a fish Jesus was three days in the belly of the earth. It is the three days which are the main thing. Jonah was as good as dead, having been thrown into the ocean. God provided the fish to save him. Jonah's being spit up on the beach is analogous to Jesus' resurrection. Not every detail of Jonah's experience is prophetic.

Hope this helps, A good Bible Commentary would explain further if you are really interested.

Answer 2

Please read it more carefully. See what Jesus said.

Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Both Jonah and Jesus emerged alive after three days. That is the point of the sign. After three days Jonah emerged alive from the fish and Jesus emerged alive from the grave.

Answer 3

Just as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days before he was spewed up on dry land, so the Lord Jesus Christ was in the grave for 3 days before he was raised from the dead.

Answer 4

Jesus really came back to life from being dead through intervention from His Father Yahweh. Jonah never really died because he was abducted by God in some kind of submarine God used at that time that Jonah called and thought was a whale not knowing or ever seeing a submarine before.

Answer 5

I Corinthians 15 states that over 500 people witnessed an alive Jesus after he was killed--basically, Paul was daring the Corinthian church to ask these witnesses if they didn't believe him.

Answer 6

The sign of Jonah is a call to repentance.
It does help if you understand what Jesus is talking about.
You can read all about it in the Book of Jonah.

Answer 7

Jesus-the Son of God is still alive. He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. He cannot lie.

Answer 8

well, you must be a moslem to ask such a question...
It is a fact of history that has been investigated many times by all sorts of people. I suggest you read a book called 'The Case For Christ".... thenmake up your mind

Answer 9

Jesus went around pretending to cast demons out of people, they were mentally ill both before and after he did so.. so was he, if he actually existed at all...

Be honest, who doesn't laugh at Benny Hinn when they catch him on Late night TV?

Answer 10

Yes,absolutely.
It's the Catholic idolatrous sect that corrupted and twisted this scripture inorder to fit their pagan fertility Goddess festival -Ishtar festival-Easter-easter eggs are reminiscent of that.

In reality there was 72 hours between crucifixion and ressurection of Lord Jesus Christ.Jesus was crucified on a Passover day and he rose from the dead 3 days after that.

In Mathew 12:38-42 Jesus says this-12:38- Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
12:39 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:
12:40 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.
12:41 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.
12:42 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 KJV)…these are words of Jesus in gospel of mathew and if it is true Jesus should be died for 3 days and 3 nights(72 hours).

But catholic church has twisted all this saying he died on a friday and rose on a sunday morning,which makes 42 hours at the most.

Besides this,in mathew 26:17 and certain other scriptures they omitted the word “before”.Mathew 26:17 now reads “Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”.But when “before” is added as in the original manuscripts it should have read like this-Now before the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

In leviticus 23 it’s clearly written that passover day comes before the 1st day of feast of unleavened bread.

Also catholicism and most churches claims Jesus rose from the dead on 1st day after sabbath.But in Gospel of Luke 23:54-56 it says-
54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; 56 then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to thecommandment.So the women with Jesus had to rest on “high”sabbath day.

Also scriptures tells us they had to rest on another “normal” sabbath day.(Mark 16:1).After that sabbath day on the first day of the week which is also the day of 1st fruits,the women came to the tomb saw it was open and witnessed resurrected Jesus(Mark 16:2-9 & other gospels).This day symbolizes the coming great harvest on pentecost which comes 50 days after and on this day resurrected Jesus appeared to women and his disciples.50 days after that on pentecost day(alias harvest day) 120 disciples were assembled on the upper room and holy spirit came on them and thus the church was given birth and also the start of the great harvest.

Also in gospel of John it says- Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Here “high sabbath” means 1st day of feast of unleavened bread.So from this verse it’s clear that Jesus was crucified on the passover day which is also the preparation day before the 1st day of feast of unleavened bread.

So from all this it’s clear that Jesus was crucified on passover day(9th hour that is 3PM-because Jewish calendar calculated day from 6PM onwards for 12 hours till 6AM ,and 12 hours from 6AM to 6PM make the 24 hour day,that is from 6PM on one day till 6PM on the next day was considered the full 24 hour day by Jews.The creation account also confirms this in Genesis 1:5,8,13,19,23,31 where evening comes before morning to form a full day) rose from the dead 72 hours later.That is on sabbath day 9th hour(3PM),and appeared to his followers on the following day morning-which was the day of 1st fruits.

Also its clear that catholic church omitted the ‘before ‘ from the scripture mathew 26:17 which now reads “Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” ,when it actually read in the original manuscript like this-when “before” is added as in the original manuscripts it should have read like this-Now before the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”

In leviticus 23 it’s clearly written that passover day comes before the 1st day of feast of unleavened bread.
Why did catholic ‘church’ do this?To make it in conformity with ancient pagan festival of ishtar(modern easter) so the majority pagans of roman empire can be converted easily to ‘christianity’ without any conversion.

Counter-reformation didn't start in 17th century,but way back in 4th century at the birth of Catholicism,just as the true reformed ,protestant church was in existence from new testament times(AD 30-70) as the apostolic church.

Take a look at how Vatican(Catholicism) vainly planned to destroy the God’s church(non feminist Protestantism) that almighty living God was/is building.

Vatican was at odds with true christians regarding the issue of idolatry.Assyrian and Nestorian/Chaldean Christians(Church of the East) objected to the idolatrous placement of Mary as the mother of God and prayer to saints in 4th century AD along with other groups who flourished in middle east ,central asia,China,India etc. until 7th century AD when Vatican/Roman catholicism decided to create Islam.

‘An Arabian lady who was a subverted Chaldean christian , was given money by Roman Catholic sect to deceive people and create Islam played a tremendous part in this
drama. She was a widow named Kadijah. Roman Catholic sect gave her wealth and was given an assignment. She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used
by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael.

Khadijah had a cousin named Waraqah,, who was also a subverted Chaldean christian by Roman Catholicism.
Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad’s advisor. He had tremendous influence on
Muhammad.

‘Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training. Muhammad studied the
works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his “great calling.” The Vatican had Catholic
Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the
people and be the chosen one of their God.

‘While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the
only true Christians were Roman Catholic. He was taught that others calling themselves
Christians were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed. Many Muslims believe this.

‘Muhammad began receiving “divine revelations” and his wife’s Catholic cousin Waraqah
helped interpret them. From this came the Koran. In the fifth year of Muhammad’s mission,
persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.
‘Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia where Negus an Ethiopian Orthodox king under Vatican's directive
accepted them because Muhammad’s views on the virgin Mary were so close to the idolatrous Orthodox/Roman Catholic
doctrine as Muhammed was taught by Vatican's directive and by this Vatican was able to deceive this King of Abbysinia. These Muslims received protection from Orthodox/Catholic kings because of Muhammad’s
revelations.

‘Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols. History proves that
before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon-god who was
married to the sun-god. They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshipped throughout the
Arab world as “Daughters of Allah” An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in 1950′s shows
Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.

‘Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told, “You are the messenger of Allah.”
This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages. By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the
name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad.
‘Some of Muhammad’s writings were placed in the Koran, others were never published. They are
now in the hands of high ranking holy men in the Islamo-catholic faith.

This is further confirmed by verses in Quran and Hadith which says only one group of Christians have remained true and they can be identified by their celibate leadership(which only Catholics have atleast for namesake).In one verse in Quran it says Christians are the best freinds of Muslims and in other verses it says Christians,Jews and all Pagans are their enemies.Thus it becomes clear that according to Quran and Hadith muslims can befriend only catholic heretics/liars/idolaters in this world.All over the world it’s a reality that only group with which muslims peacefully coexist is catholics-because catholics are their masters.

Also Quran says that Jesus will come in last days to join Muslims with ‘true’ Christians(Catholics).Thus it becomes confirmed that these lies were planted by Vatican in Quran and Hadith so as to use Muslims as bodygaurds (useful idiots) for Catholics.

So all these facts only point to the reality that Catholicism might indeed be behind the creation of Islam.
