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 |

2 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | Searcher56 | 173206 | ||
Acts 10:03 Day 1 - Cornelius vision Acts 10:09 Day 2 - Peter's vision "following day at noon" Acts 10:23 Day 3 - Trip to Cornelius "next day" Acts 10:24 Day 4 - Arrival at Cornelius "following day" Acts 10:30 ... so it was "four days ago" Not eating for three days and three nights (1Sa 30:12), and haven been ill three days ago (v 13), doesn’t mean both started at the same time. Not eating or drinking for three days, night or day (Est 4:16) means Esther had to wait until the third day to put on her royal robes (5:1), since it started at night. Doesn’t say “day or night.” Go ask a rabbi when Jonah would have been out of the big fish if he went in on Monday. I never said 72 hours. |

Those who say He died on Wednesday say it was 72 hours ... those of us who say it was on Thursday don't. Less than 9 hours on Thursday and less than 6 on Sunday plus two 24 hour periods (Fri/ Sat) ... Those who say Friday are missing a day - ask a rabai. | ||||||
5 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173263 | ||
But if you say Thursday you disregard the Scriptures. Mark specifically says: "And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus." (Mark 15:42-43) If it was the day before the Sabbath (sabbaton, singular) as Mark says, then it was FRIDAY not Thursday. |

"Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath" ... the sabbath is the Passover sabbath. Moreover, sabbaton in Matthew is plural. AND ... Luke 24:21 "third day since" ... means since it was Sunday (vs 1) means Thursday - first day since is Saturday - second ... Friday - third ... Thursday I am done |
