The Church has missed this one for years because it either doesn't have or want an understanding of it's Jewish roots. The main area of confusion comes from thinking that the day of preparation was Friday, for a Saturday "Sabbath" when in fact there were special "sabbaths" that were not Saturday. and days of preparation that were days before a special Feast such as Passover. As Jesus said in Matt. 12:40 "As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." So Jesus had to have been executed on Thursday at the earliest to have been in the belly of the earth for three days and three nights. It could have been as early as Wednesday because one day ended and another day started at sunset in those days. I know this to be true because my Savior is not a liar. As you have noted a Friday death only puts him in the belly of the earth for at the most two days and two nights. |

Dear Magnum, Although the 6th day to the 1st day is not three nights, it is three calendar days. Jesus died at the end of the 6th day: first day. The Sabbath began that evening and continued to the next evening: first night and second calendar day. The first day of the week started that evening, and He rose early in the morning: second night, third calendar day. So it was the sixth day, seventh day, and first day, three days and two nights. Whereas I don't understand the three nights of Jonah that Jesus spoke about, Jesus death covered a period of three calendar days, as the Sripture said (1 Cor 15:4). Reading the Gospels, I see only two nights. In order for Jesus to have been dead for three solar nights in three calendar days, He would have had to have died at the beginning of the sixth day (in the evening), and not at the end of the sixth day (during the last hours before sunset). The Gospels say he died in the afternoon before the Sabbath and rose on the first day of the week. Now if He rose in the evening of the first day, then it's three calendar days, but only two solar days and nights. If He rose on the morning of the first day, then it's three calendar days, three solar days and two solar nights. If this special sabbath you speak of was not the weekly Sabbath, where do you find in the Scripture a special sabbath falling on the sixth day of the week just after the Passover? I know there are other sabbaths beside the Sabbath, but I don't remember one falling just after the Passover. Interesting study. Peace, |
