>> “Ive always found it interesting that from sunset Friday to sunrise Sunday is 3 nights and 3 days.” <<
By pagan calendar days, Yeshua was crucified on Wedneaday afternoon, at the same time that the lambs were being slaughtered for the passover that was to begin at sunset that day. It was a perfect three days and nights, just as the scriptures required.
What day of the week is the Sabbath?
I agree completely with this. Jesus clearly said, "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." (Matt. 12:40) Compared with Jonah 1:17, "Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.". There is NO way Jesus could have died on Friday afternoon and raised before dawn on the first day of the week (Sunday) and it meet the prophecy JESUS, himself, gave.
