He went to Cabo for the holiday weekend!

He died on the cross, disappeared for three days and then he comes back.
He died on Friday and arose on Sunday, so he only disappeared for one day, not three.

Hallelujah and Amen.

A very good post. Thank you for it.

But truthfully, I never wondered from childhood, when I was taught the Apostles’ Creed:

“... was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead;...”

“Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum, alleluia!”
—Introit, Easter Sunday (Missale Romanum).

Happy Easter to all.

He arose on the THIRD DAY: Friday = No. 1, Saturday = No.2, Sunday = No.3.

Thanks for posting this. ‘Pod.

Totally bogus answer. If we know where he was Friday and Sunday, how can he be “disappeared” for three days?

[fso301]

We celebrated the death of Jesus yesterday at our Good Friday services and on Sunday

How then did he lay in the grave 3 days and 3 nights?

[Ditter]

Excellent, thanks for posting.

let’s not revisit Gen 1. and length of day
He died about 3P on Fri. The Jewish day ends about 6P. That is day one Jesus is dead - not a complete day but a day anyway for which we account. He is dead complete Sat past its sunset. Sometime prior to sunrise Sunday Jesus rose. That is third day - not a complete day but a day for which we must account.

Sorry, does not compute.

dis·ap·pearˌdisəˈpi(ə)r/
verb,past tense: disappeared; past participle: disappeared
1. cease to be visible.

He was visible on Friday; He was not visible on Saturday; He was visible on Sunday. Therefore, He disappeared for one day, not three.

Cleveland, which is kind of like hell. Lake Erie caught fire once, so it already has a “lake of fire”. And Cedar Point, which could be considered a place of torment if you have motion sickness.

Good summary of the event...Anyone who takes the time to study the scriptures will come to the same conclusion...

That the church would rise up and the gates of Hades could not prevail against it. It was the announcement of the beginning of the Church age –

I am opposed to the idea that this is a reference to Satan having power over the church...I believe this is a reference to Paradise, where OT saints went to await the Lord...

Those saints were captives in hell...Jesus went down and ripped the gates from the hinges and all were released as Jesus led them out of there...

I believe those are the gates that would no longer prevail against the church...Instead of being stuck in the ground, Christians now head straight up in the direction of the North Star to ever be with the Lord in heaven...

And with the gates lying on the ground this eliminates any idea of a purgatory...

The Catholics use that verse to claim Satan will have no power over their religion and that their religion because of that verse is infallible...

And as we know, Jesus spent 3 nights there...Huge crowd...

From the original post (and from the KJV):

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. - Matthew 12:40 KJV.

Three days and three nights.

According to traditional timeline...

Friday 3:00 PM - Jesus dies.
Friday sundown - Those preparing tomb and Jesus body stop due to end of day on Shabbat, stone seals tomb.

So Friday 3:00 PM to sundown equal 1 day?

Friday sundown to Saturday sunrise - 1 night (no dispute).
Saturday sunrise to Saturday sundown - 1 day (no dispute). Nothing done to Jesus's body or tomb due to Shabbat.
Saturday sundown to Sunday sunrise - 1 night (no dispute)
Sunday sunrise - Jesus rises, tomb preparers arrive at empty tomb. Some disciples meet the risen Jesus.

First thing Sunday morning equals 1 day? And we're still missing 1 night.


Note here I never dispute the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; I indeed believe that happened. It's just that the traditional timeline of the Resurrection, the one that was used to justify Sunday as the "Sabbath", doesn't add up to me.

From my older research Jesus was crucified and died on Thursday, the year of the Jewish Holy High Sabbath of Passover, not our Sabbath. He arose on the first day of the week...so Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights explain the three days and three nights....I’ll check back and see if I can find the actual year it was thought to happen as those Holy Sabbaths change by year, and that one was on a Thursday.

A really helpful post which I enjoyed very much. I agree with all of it and hope that everyone whosoever reads it (just like accepting Jesus’ birth at Christmastime) will just go with it, placing all their trust and dependency for daily living in Jesus the Jewish Messiah as Lord (The Overlord) of all Creation, and follow after Him in every way we can, remembering He is loving and forgiving to everyone who believes in him. And that is you and I.

He is alive and ready to return here when The Father gives the go-ahead.

It’s an unbearable deal for all humanity so very full of sin!

Does not add up to me why He who created iron and wood and Man would allow the creature to Nail the creator to a Cross.
