We read in Luke 11:29 - 32, "As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here."
Note they repented at the preaching of Jonah not his miracles. The people responded to the preaching of Jonah as soon as they heard it not like us today. Jonah pointed to the greatest of all preachers, Jesus Christ.
One of the great signs of today is the preaching of the Gospel to the ends of the world.
