If it wasn't exactly the same time as Jonas was in the whale, why did Jesus go out of His way to use that exact verse? Personally, I'm cool with a Sunday morning resurrection, but then Jesus would have had to been crucified on Thursday and the latest. Friday/Sunday isn't close enough to 3 days/3 nights for me. Diego's exposition on Wednesday Crucifixion/Thursday Passover/Sabbath resurection make a lot of sense to me. (I bet you didn't see that coming:))
Yeah....and if you work it backward from there you'll find that the traditional "Palm Sunday" arrival in Jerusalem was actually happening on the 10th of the month, a Sabbath (Saturday) and was the day of The Selection of The Lamb.....who was our Passover.
Isn't it funny how everything seems to line up when you get the sequence correct?
