Truthseeker, I'm not sure, but I think Jesus meant that the Jews of His day (at that time) would receive no sign but the sign of the prophet Jonah. That has always been my understanding. The Jews of today have received tons of signs, it's just that most of them are not picking up on many of the signs.

Yes, I believe you are correct, watchmanjim!  Matthew 12:38-42 gives us the quote: Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”  He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here."

But wouldn't it be just like our Lord to add a sign of Jonah to His 2nd coming, as well?  Something like the Great American Total Solar Eclipse that starts the 40 days of Teshuvah?  I don't recall which thread it was in, but I remember the subject of Jonah and the repentance of Ninevah was brought up in relation to the eclipse. 
 

Awesome, truthseeker!

Hey, by the way, I was just thinking about the signs with the Egypt theme and was thinking about how God led Jacob's family to Egypt during the time of Joseph for safety from the famine and they grew into a strong multitude there in Egypt. Then, in Moses' day, the Lord led them out of Egypt.  Do you suppose America might be considered a type of Egypt in this way--that America has been a place of safety for the Jewish people, but that in connection with the Eclipse/Revelation 12 Sign He will be calling them to Israel?  Is this part of the "Return" that has been mentioned in regards to the Revelation 12 sign?

I've been thinking about American Pharaoh and how that horse won the Triple Crown.  Many at the time (including myself) were wondering if it meant Obama would somehow wangle himself into a 3rd term as President (and I suppose that possibility is not off the table yet, as I understand he is busy behind the scenes in efforts to thwart President Trump's plans).  But is there some other connection?  Maybe 777?  Maybe something else?

I was also thinking about the possibility of America as Mystery Babylon and the Lord's words in Revelation 18:4-5, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."

Is the Lord going to lead them out of Babylon just as He led them out of Egypt?  Is America a type of Egypt, a type of Babylon, a type of Persia, a type of Greece and Rome--possibly even a type of Assyria?  Is the sign of Jonah coming to us just as it did when Jonah was sent to warn Assyria?

Could be, Beloved--or even possibly at some point within the 7 years between the 2 American eclipses? I remember the "X" of the eclipse path is made 7 years after our August 2017 eclipse.

There are so many possibilities about this Egypt theme! 

Could America even be the wilderness spoken of in Revelation 12:14 where the woman is given safety? Notice the verse speaks of being nourished, just as if in Joseph's time Jacob's family was fed in Egypt... And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
