3 days 3 nights?

Pretty straight forward 72 hours anything else is just not correct.

They claim, that Christ died on Wednesday, and therefore, John 19:31 would mean the following "Thursday" was this high Sabbath day. Problem is, that is NOT the Biblical definition of a high Sabbath day. A high Sabbath occurred when a feast day (In this case it was the Feast of Unleavened Bread) fell on the 7th day weekly Sabbath. Since the Seventh Day is already considered a Sabbath, and the feast days are considered "annual" Sabbaths, (See Lev. 23:23-38) when they fell on the same day, that day would then be considered a HIGH Sabbath day. A "Thursday" or "5th day" of the week would NEVER be considerd a High Sabbath. That is an absolute impossiblity.

PLUS.. notice this, in Luke 23:56 it states the woman did not prepare the body of Jesus on Friday because they, "...rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." Biblical FACT is, the Commandments speak of the Seventh Day Sabbath, not the annual feast day sabbaths.

PLUS, Christ was put to death on the "preparation day," of the week and the preparation day was never on a Wednesday. In all the pages of biblical history, as well as biblical jurisprudence, the preparation day has always been and will always continue to be Friday. This is graphically confirmed in Mark 15:42-43 where is states, "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus."

According to John 19:31 , our Lord was crucified on the Day of Preparation, that is, the preparation of the Jewish Passover.

"The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for the Sabbath day was a high day) besought Pilate that their legs would be broken, and that they might be taken away."

The Passover always began on the l4th day of the Jewish month of Nisan (Leviticus 23:6) , and the day following or the l5th, was always a High Day Sabbath. This was not the weekly 7th day Sabbath, but the annual Passover Sabbath.

Hi WTR,

Check out these verses.

Le 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Le 23:32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Le 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.

Just a few of the sabbaths that do not necessarily fall on the 7th day of the week as they are set on particular days of the month.

Jesus was crucified on a Wed., not a Fri. What a lot of people forget, or don't know, was that the day following Jesus' crucifixion was a "High Sabbath" not the regular weekly Sabbath. A "High Sabbath" (there are seven of them) occur at each festival and can be on any day of the week. Because many don't make the distinction, it has been assumed that the next day was the regular weekly Sabbath. It was also called "The day of preparation," meaning preparation for the Passover.

Jesus was in the tomb a full 72 hours from Wed evening to Saturday evening. On a lunar calendar, Jesus would have been resurrected at the end of the Sabbath on Saturday evening which would have been the first day of the week in lunar terms.

Unfortunately, too many have read our modern calendar into the Bible, and it has caused some confusion.

shiloh,

You and I actually agree on something. And not to be overbearing, The jews reckoned a day from sundown to sundown not midnight to midnight.

LT

Yeah, but I never said anything about midnight to midnight.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Sorry if you took that as me saying it to you. I was clarifying something to those who don't know about it. I really don't hate you shiloh. I have learned some things from your posts and I should hope you might learn some thing from some of mine.

Wrong...

Rosh Hashannah is a "High Sabbath." So is Yom Kippur. Also Shavuot, the 1st day of Hag Hamatzah. and the 1st and Seventh Day of Sukkot. All of these high Sabbaths can occur on any of the day of the week. They are High Sabbaths regardless of what day they fall on. High Sabbaths are always in addition to the weekly Sabbaths.

John 7:37 is another example of a High Sabbath.

This would not happen due to time . Because of who he is . If it was a normal thing he would have started to decay right away. IT takes very little time for this to start.

The scripture is true it has to be 3 days and 3 nights...... Why would you want to argue the fact of scripture esspecially if you are a christian?
