"ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY" - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Three days and three nights. (Matt 12:40) This phrase does not necessarily require that 72 hours elapse between Christ's death and resurrection, for the Jews reckoned part of a day to be as a whole day. Thus this prophecy can be properly fulfilled if the crucifixion occurred on Friday." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) "'Three days and three nights' was an emphatic way of saying "three days," and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of 3 days. Thus, if Christ was crucified on a Friday, and His resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as 3 days and 3 nights. "ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretation (emphasis added)" (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997). |

Radioman, I think I asked you before, to ask a Jewish rabbi the meaning of "three days and three nights" (1 Samuel 30:12, Jonah 1:17). Have you done so? Also have have looked at the last week of His life ... compare all the Gospel accounts? Until you do, do not respond. Read my post to Milty. Searcher |
