1 | Idiom? | Bible general Archive 4 | Morant61 | 205611 | ||
Greetings Jim! Where exactly though does Scripture say 3 days and 3 nights equals 72 hours? :-) The point that others have been trying to make is that the Jews of that day counted days differently than we do. Our days start at 12:01 a.m. Their days started at about 4 or 5 p.m. It is not turning the phrase into an idiom to simply use their way of reckoning time. By the way, the 'private interpretation' of 2 Peter 1:20 refer to the origins of Scripture, not to interpreting Scripture. I see people use this verse in this way many times, but it is a misapplication. Peter is speaking of how Scripture came into being, not how it is understood. I have heard some interesting theories that Jesus might have been buried on Thursday instead of Friday, but the argument goes on and on. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim: From what you said about some interesting theories, is there a calendar, that would tell us just what day, the Passover was that particular Year. Or is it always on a Friday? Just wondering from what you said. GOD BLESS Jim |
