32

The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

33

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

34

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

The verse speaks of a future judgment and a past repentance, not a prophecy with a defined duration that is expected to be recognized when fulfilled. The comparison drawn is about the *response* to a message, not the fulfillment of a time-specific prediction.
