THE SIGN THAT PROVED JESUS' IDENTITY!


JONAH'S EXPERIENCE WAS A PICTURE OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION

Jonah 1:17 - Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights

Jonah 2:1, 9-10 - Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly - - - But I will sacrifice unto You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed.  Salvation is of the LORD.  And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Matthew 12:38-40 - Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from You.  But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:  for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly (Greek ketos meaning "a large fish"); so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 27:62-64 - Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise againCommand therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night, and steal Him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Mark 8:31And He began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

John 2:18-22 Then answered the Jews and said unto Him, What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it upThen said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt You raise it up in three days?  But He spoke of the temple of His body.  When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the Word which Jesus had said.

CHRIST'S FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY

Matthew 28:5-6 - And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not: for I know that you seek Jesus, Who was crucified.  He is not here:  for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Mark16:5-6 - And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were afraid.  And he saith unto them, Be not afraid:  You seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified:  He is risen; He is not here:  behold the place where they laid Him.

Luke 24:1-8Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.  And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spoke unto you when He was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againAnd they remembered His words.

John 20:14-16And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.  Jesus said unto her, Woman, why do you weep?  Whom do you seek?  She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said unto Him, Sir, if You have borne Him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take Him away.  Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto Him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Acts 1:1-4 - The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen:  to whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:  and, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard of Me.

1 Corinthians 15:1-6Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:  and that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:  after that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

Revelation 1:5, 8 - And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.  Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, - - - I am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The Ending, says the Lord, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty.

JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS; HE WAS BURIED; AND HE WAS RAISED 
FROM THE GRAVE, AS THE SCRIPTURES SAID HE WOULD!  
TRUST IN HIM AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME! 
ALL SIGNS INDICATE HE IS COMING FOR BELIEVERS VERY, VERY SOON!
