How do we know the sign of Jonah is true?

Answered in 1 source

The sign of Jonah is affirmed by Jesus Himself, linking Jonah's experience to His own death and resurrection.

In Matthew 12 and 16, Jesus refers to the sign of Jonah as significant evidence of His identity and mission. Jonah's three days in the fish foreshadow Christ’s three days in the grave. The authority of Christ and His ability to predict these events affirm the truth of this sign. Furthermore, since Christ endorsed Jonah's narrative as a historical event, rejecting it undermines the truthfulness of Christ's words and His divine authority. Thus, the sign of Jonah stands as a profound testament to the reality of Jesus' resurrection, distinct from mere metaphor or allegory, but as a definitive historical truth.
