Quiz: Bible Catchphrases

The Old Testament Scriptures contain many passages with the word "sign" in use. In particular, there is a fragment with the use of the phrase "the sign of the times" (Sir 43:6), as well as: " And if anyone longs for wide experience, she knows the things of old, and infers the things to come; she understands turns of speech and the solutions of riddles; she has foreknowledge of signs and wonders and of the outcome of seasons and times. " (Wis. 8:8). In the Holy Scripture of the New Testament, it is used exactly in the form, presented in the question: "Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." (Matthew 16:3). In modern usage, a sign of the times is a phenomenon characteristic of the time that it marks.
