📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. Great responses. TR A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matthew 16:4 I think the answer has to be in Israel's rejection of their Messiah. They could either believe based on the promises Jesus gave them or not. Having been given sufficient evidence of who Christ was, it became a matter of an individual's decision. He did not appear to unbelievers (other than Paul), as He had stated, "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." (Matthew 23:39) Hmmm....there was a huge earthquake, the very thick curtain in the temple was rent in two revealing the holy of holies to all,“holy” people were resurrected and appeared in Jerusalem upon Jesus’ crucifixion death so people in the area knew something incredible had happened. Maybe the resurrection was announced personally from person to person as a model of how we are to witness to others today?
