John 20:26-31… “And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless (surely Thomas had justifying faith and life of an eternal kind), but believing (allowing for a further work upon the soul). And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye (first to the Jew) might believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah King of Israel), the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life (being of a more abundant kind) through his name.” The first Sign John relates to the post-Crucifixion Jews, especially to those who sit in the seat of Moses’ authority (Matthew 13), that they might believe, had to do with a ‘Wedding’ at Cana. The wedding foreshadows the Father’s restoration of His Wife Israel/the reinstitution of their marriage (and is also a type for Christ’s faithful Bride). These shadows reflect reality. So this 2ND SIGN documented by John of Jesus’ healing of the Jewish Nobleman’s son was typical of the restoration/healing of the Nation of Israel as the First-Born sons of God. The restoration was done the ‘Third Day’ (after 2000 years), which signifies Jews being restored/brought out of End-Time ‘Egypt’/all the Gentile Nations to be possessors of that Land promised as the seed of Abraham. (This also being typical of the Resurrection of the First-Born Sons of the New Creation out from the dead).

John 4:43… “Now after two days he departed thence (from the Gentiles of Samaria), and went into Galilee. Now pictorially, we see in these words… ‘Now after’ means this current 2000 years/two -1000 year days we are now seeing completed, “when the fullness of the Gentiles be come in” (Romans 11:25) which has the prophetic word of the Acts 15:14 in view “…to take out of them a people for his name (which answers to Matthew 21:43) …after this I will return (to the Jews; which answers to the 3rd-1000 year Day - see Hosea 5:13-6:3), and will build again the tabernacle of David (which has in view Ezekiel’s Millennial Temple economy - see Ezekiel Chapters 40-48), which is fallen down (speaking of the condition of Israel’s religious system in the Worship of God that He now sets aside for 2 Days/2000 years); and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up (when I come back to usher in the Millennial Day of Rest - Revelation 20:6) That the residue of men might seek after the Lord…” This final statement speaks to the surviving remnant of Jews and Gentiles left alive on the Earth after the catastrophic destruction associated with Christ’s coming back to deal with the last day affairs of this Earth. (Zechariah 14:16, Acts 3:19-26)

Prophetically, Jesus’ Return coincides with End-Time Judgments that culminate with the destruction of the enemies of Israel, the Assyrian King, and the Babylonian King who defeated and oppressed ancient Israel. These epitomize and are typical of the great End-Time tyrannous King and great oppressor of Jews and Israel; the silver-tongued little horn (Daniel 8:23-25); the Anti-Christ. He is the one who will come in his own name (John 5:43) with lies and false agreements; that in the middle of the Tribulation is found to be no refuge to the Jews in Jacob’s Trouble. (Isaiah 28:14-23, Daniel 9:27, Jeremiah 30, Isaiah 13 & 14)

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
A Prophet ordinarily would not be known for miracle-working, but for giving the revealed Word of God on a matter; being chiefly a physician of the soul. The honor the Lord did not receive of His countrymen was because of their familiarity with Him and His family, Him being from Nazareth, the son of a carpenter, and being without formal education. They did not receive Him as a Prophet giving them the exhorting Word of God, but as a worker of miracles. He was viewed as a supernatural physician of the body which caused them to welcome Him. (Both then, and now, the healing of the body are a distraction from our true need, which is healing/saving of the soul, those Jews and Christians being already saved in spirit....
