It also doesn't work because in John 2:19-22 it is very clear that Jesus is talking about his own resurrection. Vs. 22 confirms that.
Agreed. Certainly does not fit in my "literal" view.
I was attempting to explain to RnMomof7 only the "3 days is as 1000 years" aspect, and that some (with whom I disagree for the reasons we both cite) attempt to apply this to predict the millennium. They make a analogy or metaphor between Christ's physical body and His Kingdom...and the analogy breaks down badly, but even if you agreed with it - it argued for a literal 1000 year millennium. That was all.
