Biblical support for my theory plus support from my old buddy, Nostradamus
If you look at the life of Christ in the New Testament you will find that the word sign and Jesus is first
mentioned together when Mother Mary and Joseph presented the newly born Jesus in the Temple.
In other words, every male after 8 days old had to be brought to the Temple for the presentation before God.
After Mother Mary cleansed herself with a bath - all ladies who gave birth were considered unclean until they
took that ritual bath. After the Holy Family entered the Temple, they were met by two people, one was, Anna, a prophetess
and the other was an elderly gentleman named, Simeon, who spent a great deal of time there because he was hoping to see the
Chosen One before he died. Well, as soon as he and Anna saw Jesus both rejoiced. This was the guy. After that, Simeon,
made several prophecies one of which was ... and for a sign that shall be contradicted. Now, before I continue I have
to tell you a story.
About twenty years ago, I tried again to get my theory investigated by an Academic with a Phd so I took a
correspondence course, entitled, Science From A Christian Perspective. The guy running the course had a Doctorate.
I completed about three classes and then asked him politely if he would comment on a theory of mine, in the hopes he
would help me investigate it. He said, Yes, so I mailed him a letter which presented all my academic reasons why my theory
should be investigated with a lead in being the statement by Simeon. No more than five days later I got the letter back.
In it he stated that I spelled Isreal wrong ... Well, I saw it spelled both ways. As stated and, Israel. But, what really bothered him
was that I misquoted, Simeon. It does NOT say - contradicted - it states - spoken against or opposed. So, he sent the letter
back to me saying it was basically unread. What the .... heck was he talking about? I went to my Bible and it said - contradicted.
I went to a New Testament book and it said - contradicted. I then went to the computer and it was stated the way he put it.
Spoken against or opposed. Now, what?
You see I came to find that most Christians dislike that word because they are convinced that the Sign was the Resurrection
and contradicted differs greatly from spoken against or opposed. Contradicted could mean ... Well, put it this way, using
an event that took place a while back. If I stated Al Gore should have been President in 2000 but it was contradicted.
You do know what it means. Now, I'll be getting back to this in a minute. Let's look again as far as Jesus is concerned.
If you look in the New Testament there is an event when Jesus first met John the Baptist to be baptized
and, as the process was about to begin or had begun, a dove alighted over the head of Jesus and please
note the word to - signify - who He was. God spoke after that acknowledging who Jesus was. Okay. Let's move on.
I began this whole post with the quote re The Sign of Jonah. How Jesus stated an evil and adulterous generation asks
for a sign but no sign shall be given - but one, just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days
and three nights, so too will the Son of Man be in the belly of the earth for three days and three nights. Uh huh,
but did you ever read what was written in Mark regarding a sign. He sighed deeply and said, Why does this generation
ask for a sign? Truly, I say to you no sign shall be given to it . What's He doing? On the one hand He says - one sign
shall be given and He also said - no sign - will be given to that generation. Gees, if I didn't know any better, it sounds like
Jesus contradicted Himself. Do you think He was telling us the sign would be contradicted? The Sign of Jonah will be contradicted?
So, let's recap and please remember what I thought was the Sign of Jonah and how the earth was affected. It stood still but kept
rotating on its axis for three days and three nights
Simeon speaks of a sign that shall be - contradicted.
A dove appears over the head of Jesus to signify - a derivative of the word, sign - who He was.
Jesus contradicts Himself when He said no sign shall be given that generation and then - one sign - will be given that generation.
He is saying, The Sign of Jonah, was contradicted.
Anything else? Well, there is my old buddy, Nostradamus
Below, you will be reading a quatrain which was NOT in the Centuries but it was either one of his lost quatrains or it,
appeared in a letter to someone. Either way,, given the style, I do believe it to be authentic.
The three brothers have died
And the evil one controls all
Then is a sign, a dove amidst heaven's stars
And the time for the Son is high.
You know, I'm in need if an Astrophysicist or an Aechaeo- Astronomer to investigate,
my theory re the Sign of Jonah, and he says, Then is a sign amidst heaven's stars. Like a double play
on the word - then. It happened - then - like way back when, and - then - it is revealed, amidst heaven's stars.
And he does seem to be talking about Jesus in the last line - And the time for the Son is high.
Wow ... the only thing I have to do is why he put the word - dove? Really?
If you translate the name, Jonah, from the Hebrew into English it does mean - DOVE
What do you think? Should someone investigate my theory. I think they should.
Oh, yeah, (God, I loved, Columbo) just one more thing. You will note I stated, that the words - sign and Jesus
first appeared when Jesus as a babe, was brought to the Temple and Simeon saw Him and made his statement.
That was in regards to the, Sign of Jonah, that ... shall - or - will be. Technically the first time the words,
sign and Jesus, appear was during the Nativity scene as described by, Luke. This will be a sign to you.
That sign had been - before Jesus was brought to the Temple. In other words, Simeon, did use the words properly,
in the future tense in regards, to the ,Sign of Jonah. Just thought I'd mention it. And, oh yes, one more thing.
Jesus did contradict Himself re the Sign of Jonah and at the same time was telling the truth.
The sign did take place during the time of that generation but it didn't come to light. If, I'm right
it will be revealed to the most evil and adulteress generation of all time which is ... Now?
