"Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the sings of the times...no sign shall be given to it except the sing of the prophet Jonah." vv.3-4
Read chapter 16.
How many more people today know the little details and facts about celebrities or can quote a whole movie or multiple movies/ tv shows but have never memorized one verse of the Bible or know the men of faith of old?! Last night I was at this beautiful music worship event down by the river but was struggling with some of the people there that seem like hypocrites of being one way in worship and another time don't seem to give God two cents.
What do you think is the sing of the prophet Jonah? Remember back in chapter 12 the reference to Jonah and Jesus both being dead and resurrected? So to here the only sign these Pharisees and Saducces were going to be given was the resurrection in the past with Jonah and the very near future of Jesus the Messiah they were waiting for yet didn't see it right in front of them. We should understand what the "signs of the times" are in our time right now and not be ignorant and hypocritical to the dispensation in which we live.
