1 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173200 | ||
No where in Scripture does it say Christ was in the Grave 72 hours. Perhaps you need to learn the concept of synecdoche in which a part represents a whole. The Jewish people used this figure of speech all the time. B. Literally 3 days and 3 nights equals 72 Hours impossible! Those who insist that we must literally interpret 3 days and 3 nights equals 72 Hours "It is the sign of Jonah" they say, have not understood that it is impossible to harmonize LITERALLY all the data. If Jesus was resurrected If he rose AFTER the third day, after 72 hours, then all the above verses would read on the FOURTH day. "On the third day" vs. "after three days" are literally quite different: If Jesus raised literally "on the third day", then the third day was not yet over, it is literally less than 72 hours. If Jesus raised literally "after three days", then Jesus would have risen sometime literally after 72 hours. But this would be ON THE FOURTH DAY. Notice that the chief priests and Pharisees wanted the tomb guarded only until the third day, because that is when the resurrection was to occur, NOT on the fourth day! And remember, the watch at the tomb began at the end of the seventh day Sabbath, so that it could be guarded for all of the third day, which Sabbatarians say is Saturday. It was at the end of the duration of 3 days, using their own literalness, that guards STOPPED guarding the tomb. This proves that Jesus was going to raise before, not AFTER 72 hours had elapsed! Since we have irrefutable Bible evidence that 3 days and 3 nights may in fact be literally less than 72 hours or 3 days and 2 nights or 3 nights and 2 days (Cornelius: Acts 10:3,9, 23,24,30; Starving servant: 1 Sam. 30:12,13; Queen Esther 4:16; 5:1) we must call into question the literal length of time Jonah was in the sea monster!!! In light of the Bible passages, how can we be sure that Jonah was literally (Roman time thinking) 72 hours in the sea monster??? We come full circle to the well established point that the Jews would have viewed Friday 3 PM to Sunday 6 AM as being 3 days and 3 nights! http://www.bible.ca/d-3-days-and-3-nights.htm |

3 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173238 | ||
Again you do not understand the Jewish use of synedoche. Three days; three days and three nights; thrid day since they all mean the same thing He was in the grave on part of Friday (one day and night) all day Saturday (two days and a night) rose Sunday AM (third day since, three days, three days and three nights). | ||||||
4 | Have you asked a rabbi yourself? | Luke 23:43 | Searcher56 | 173241 | ||
I do understand the Jewish use of "three days and three nights" ... Until YOU ask a rabbai if Jonah went in the big fish on Tuesday at 5pm, what day was he out? Answer - early Friday, before dawn. | ||||||

Anytime on Thursday before sundown. I have asked a Rabbai and I do understand the figure of speech in Jewish literature, including the Holy Scriptures. I am an Hebrew Christian. | ||||||
