Bible Note: Hi Tamara, My sincere apologies if I came across too headstrong and I hope I didn’t offend you. You have a great writing style. You always answer the call of the question and cite scripture for your support. I very much appreciate your postings and do learn from them. My personal view is that Jesus was in the tomb for 72 hours. That could only be from just before sunset on Wednesday to just before sunset on Saturday. The Passover Sabbath on Thursday, spices bought and prepared on Friday and then the Saturday Sabbath. One other point I would make is about the two witnesses in Rev. 11. Their ministry appears to be a shadow of Christ ministry in regards to time. They prophesy for three and a half years and then they are killed. They are not placed in a tomb, but are dead for 3 ½ days and then come to life and are taken up into the clouds. I don’t think these 3 ½ days can be disputed. Also, Daniel 9:27 talks about the middle of the week. However, I don’t have a very good understanding of Daniel. Thanks, Jim |
