Guest Waldans Mountain Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 MATT.12[39] But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:[40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The Son of man will be 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth Does good Friday afternoon till (easter) morning equal 3 days and 3 nights? You can use your fingers if the math is to grevious.

Passover Friday, Saturday, and Sunday equals three days and three nights if you do research according to Biblical times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Waldans Mountain Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hi God Man I do believe. But i believe it was as Jesus said it would be. 3 days and 3 nights. Not 2 nights and 1 day as most want to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Waldans Mountain Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hey Martyr I prefer to believe Jesus. After all HES the one who said it. Also Jesus knew how many hours in day JOHN 11 [9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.[10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. And that leaves 12 for the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are two explanations. 1) "Three days and three nights" is an expression. (For instance, when we say "It is raining cats and dogs, we don't mean cats and dogs are falling out of the sky!) 2) If you read the passages, you will see mentioned the "High Sabbath." My memory is hazy on this, but that had to do with the Passover, that there was a special day or period within the Passover time. It could be that Jesus was crucified On the day before this High Sabbath which was Thursday or Friday - whatever it works out to. If that is the case, He was actually crucified on on a Wednesday or Thursday. Then somehow over time tradition made the day of rememberance to be on Friday (just like Dec. 25 is not really the day Jesus was born, but that is when it began to be celebrated).

There is also the possibility of Maundy Thursday being the day of crucifixion. No matter what day the crucifixion occurred on, I rejoice that Jesus Christ beat death by rising again.

But.....I am one who believes in the literal 3 days and 3 nites. I will search and paste a good study if it's not too long. It has to do with the passover week and more than one sabbath day, and this one being not on saturday. I should memorize this I think. I have always questioned that teaching about good friday, also I think it originated with the Roman Catholics. Peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Waldans Mountain Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 hi MARK 16[1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. These women bought sweet spices after the sabbath was past(the high day passover sabbath)JOHN 19[31] LUKE 23[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. These same women prepared spices and then rested the sabbath day(Gods 4th commandment) How could these women prepare spices and rest the sabbath if they didnt buy spices till after the sabbath had past? There were 2 sabbaths! JOHN 19 [14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King![15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. (These 2 scriptures are proof that the first of these sabbaths was the high passover sabbath) JOHN 19[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The other the weekly sabbath. Just as Jesus said. 3 days and 3 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
