This Whole Generation, including you

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: for as Jonas 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. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.-Matthew 12:38-45***The scribes and Pharisees were religious sects of Israelites, and both groups did not believe Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived among the scribes, Pharisees and other Israelites after being conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus . The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Jesus proclaimed the scribes and Pharisees to be hypocrites and spoke of their showy actions. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible identify Jonas as Jonah, the Israelite and prophet  of the Lord God who lived over 700 years before Jesus was born. The Lord God sent Jonah to proclaim a message to the inhabitants of Nineveh, Assyria, when King Amaziah was ruling Judah and King Jeroboam, the son of King Joash (Jehoash), was ruling the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. However, Jonah ran to flee from the presence of the Lord God. After Jonah was voluntarily tossed from a ship, Jonah was swallowed by a huge fish and lived inside the fish for 3 days and nights. The queen of the south is widely regarded to be the queen of Sheba, the ruler who brought an estimated 4 1/2 tons of gold and a vast amount of spices and gems when she came to see and question Amaziah's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather King Solomon, the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
