I've read it twice and am on my third read. It's very dense and I wouldn't recommend it if it's your first book from a Traditionalist. If it is then maybe you should start with Revolt Against the Modern World.
The first half is philosophical and is a great crash course on metaphysics and symbology.
The second half is devoted to practice but it's intentionally hard to decipher and requires some reading between the lines (it's very fun, though).
It's probably the best gateway for a modern person to get into alchemy; at the end of the book Evola promises that you've gained a sufficient amount of knowledge to read any medieval alchemical text. I can't vouch for that claim, however.

Despite it's difficulty I find it a very enjoyable read, but ymmv

I think those verses are just referencing prophets in general;
i.e. when someone claims to be a prophet you should test him.
Jesus didn't claim to be a prophet; the prophets of Israel (like Jonah) prophesied His coming. So when Jesus says things like "sign of Jonah" He's criticizing them for not believing the prophets that a messiah (Him) was coming

Also John records Jesus performing many miracles in front of the pharisees and they still didn't believe
>And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:
>John 12:37
