Readers - The only sign given to the scribes and Pharisees by the Lord Jesus was: Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonah 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." from Jonah 1:17 since the Lord clearly stated that this was an accurate type of His own death and resurrection, then this verse is the actual resurrection. Jonah 2:10 "And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.'' go here for word by word breakdown and numbers: http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.asp?bnum=32&cnum=2&vnum=10 the running gematria total of the first seven words of this verse = 940 This is my guess for the the time of the Resurrection of the dead in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, which you can read some about here: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2012/clay914-2.htm Jesus is Lord.
