In Matthew 16:1-4, the Sadducees and Pharisees ask for a sign from Heaven. Jesus responds, “…no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Did Jesus give the Sadducees and Pharisees a sign from Heaven? Did you know that during the crucifixion the shape of the fish that swallowed Jonah miraculously appeared in the Heavens?
According to Luke 23:45, “the sun failed” or “eclipsed” during the crucifixion. As everyone knows Jesus was crucified at Passover. Passover occurs during a full moon. What many people don’t know is that the moon is on the wrong side of the earth for a natural solar eclipse to occur during a full moon. The eclipse of the sun during the crucifixion occurred supernaturally. So what does this have to do with the sign of Jonah appearing in the Heavens? The area where two circles overlap was referred to by ancient mathematicians as “the fish.” If you look at the diagram below you can clearly see the Christian Fish Symbol where the circles overlap.
The sign of Jonah appeared from Heaven as requested by the Sadducees and Pharisees. They didn’t see it – I hope you do.
