The True Sign of Jonah

Why do two passages about the Sign of Jonah (Lk 11:29-30, Mt 12:39-40) contradict one another? It is because these were two independent attempts to obfuscate the true Sign of Jonah, which exposed Paul as the inventor of the central theme of Christianity that Jesus died for our sins as a sacrificial lamb. Here is the correct interpretation of the Sign of Jonah:

"Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, 'It would be better for me to die than to live.'" (Jonah 4:6-8)

This passage serves as an allegory for an eclipse that converged with a crucifixion! The occurrence of the eclipse on Nov. 24, 29 CE explains Jesus’ last words, “My God, my God. Why hast thou forsaken me?” Jesus’ final outcry is utterly incongruous within the narrative of the gospels, and it has puzzled bible scholars for nearly two thousand years. Why would Jesus think that God had deserted him when he had willingly consummated Paul’s idea of taking away the sins of the world through his sacrificial death? With the restoration of the true Sign of Jonah, the conundrum has finally been resolved! Jesus, as well as the gathering crowd, seized on the eclipse a sign that the kingdom of God was imminent, in which he would be relieved of his awful suffering and be promoted to Messiah.

But when the eclipse ended and nothing happened, the unimaginably shattered man experienced the most devastating reversal of fortunes in history. Instead of playing the leading role in God’s kingdom on Earth, he would continue his monstrous suffering until all the life had drained out of his body. With the stunned, disillusioned crowd fixated on him, what could he say? He selected the opening lines of Psalm 22 to express his thorough mental desolation at the dread verdict that the anticlimactic passing of the great event had rendered- “My God, my God. Why hast thou forsaken me?” These all-important last words permanently bound the condemned man to the sign and amplified its meaning and impact- proving impossible for the first Pauline gospel Mark to omit.

The occurrence of the eclipse on Nov. 24, 29 CE clears up an assortment of heretofore intractable mysteries and contradictions. To tick off a few: it fully explains the darkness mentioned in the gospels that fell over the land (Mt 27:45, Mk 15:33, Lk 23:44); it corrects the contradictory interpretations of the Sign of Jonah (Lk 11:29-30, Mt 12:39-40); and it finally explains why one of the most renowned, exalted personages of all time did not merit a single historical account of anything that he accomplished while he was alive. It was the eclipse alone that made him famous on the day that he died! The gospel stories shifted the crucifixion to Passover to conform to Paul's sacrificial lamb teachings, and shifted the start of the darkening of the sun to noon to conform to Amos 8:9.

Did the god of love plant impulses in the mind of Jesus that would steer him to his crucifixion on the day of the eclipse to immortalize his message of love? If so, Christianity comes closest to representing the one true religion by preserving the transmission of love to humanity. Furthermore, Christianity provides hints of a great epiphany that "love" and "evil" are the true opposite, countervailing forces that characterize two opposite, countervailing "gods" (1 Jn 3:8-12; 4:8, 16)- not "good" and "evil" that saddle both religion and philosophy with the conundrum of why a monotheistic, omnipotent "good god" permits evil on our planet. Like quantum particles that emerge as opposite pairs, so too does consciousness that a "god" must possess, which religions refers to as a "soul." From the sensory-deprived domain that birthed them, they found a way to project themselves into a sensory rich mode of existence.

But the two opposite, countervailing constituents of consciousness required separate compartments to experience the new, vastly more pleasant mode of existence from within the brains of living creatures. Thus is explained the duality of man- equally capable of acts of love or evil. And the problem of why "God" permits evil on our planet vanishes- love and evil are countervailing! Our Earth is the true heaven. The heaven that religions of fantasy proffer for comfort is best slept through between lifetimes,
