3 days & 3 nights is 3 days & 3 nights.....period.

Disclaimer- 2 Peter 2:21-Verily if would have been better for them not have known the way of righteousness than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.

Greetings,

If you're on Facebook, you see the memes, posts, etc about when Yeshua was crucified & resurrected. Nominal Christianity believes in a Friday crucifixion & Sunday Resurrection. Many Messianics believe in a Wednesday crucifixion & Saturday afternoon resurrection.

So, which is it? Simple, which follows Yeshua's statement in Matt. 12:38-40. It was a Wednesday crucifixion, late Saturday afternoon resurrection.

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” 39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Yeshua said himself 3 days & 3 nights. Not the partial days to be counted as full days nonsense. What does God constitute to be a day? Let's look at Gen. 1:5-God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. The day begins at sunset & ends at sunset the the next tday. To say that Yeshua didn't mean 3 days & 3 nights is calling Yeshua a liar. We don't want to do that.

The problem with modern Christianity is that they've forgotten how to count to 3 (crucifixion-resurrection), they've forgotten how to count to 7 (weekly sabbath) & they've forgotten how to count to 50 (the count to Pentecost).

Yeshua was crucified on a Wednesday & then resurrected just before sunset on Sabbath. This is 3 days & 3 nights as you can see in the image below.

Many get hung on the third day concept.

But throughout the new testament, the phrase three days is used many times.

In Matt. 26:61-Destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.

Mark 8:31-Son of Man must be killed and after three days, he will rise again.

Mark 9:31-Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men & after 3 days will rise again.

Mark 14:58-Destroy the temple with human hands and in three days, another will be built without human hands.

John 2:19-Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days.

We are told in Genesis 1:5 what consitutues a day. We need to stop being misled by the wishes of those who want to deceive us from the true crucifixion/resurrection day. Modern Christianity wants an excuse to keep a pagan holiday that existed LONG before Yeshua walked on this earth. In John 20, Mary went to the tomb while it was still dark & the stone had already rolled away. He already risen from the dead. This does NOT indicate a Sunday resurrection. Again, Wednesday to Saturday afternoon is 3 days & 3 nights. Nominal christianity want an excuse to keep what some call as the "Lord's Day." The sabbath is a sign between God & his people. (Ex. 31:13)

Hold fast to God's word. Don't be misled by nominal Christianity.

Have a great Wave Sheaf Day & Last day of Unleavened Bread.
