Three days  NT texts

 

All these Scriptures are in PERFECT AGREEMENT in every respect :
And yes, they have everything to do with the “three days prophecy” BECAUSE  :


1A) HERE BEGINS the NIGHT and the FIRST of the “three days”, “according to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures  :–

3B) HERE is the MORNING of the THIRD of the “three days”, “according to the Scriptures”  – the passover–Scriptures  :–

4A) HERE begins the day AFTER the “three days” (fourth day of the passover season) :–

4B) HERE is the EVENING of this day,

Jn20:1–10 Mary sees the DOORSTONE was away from the tomb (discovers tomb has been OPENED);  

 

4C) HERE is the NIGHT of this day,

Lk24:1–10 “DEEP(EST)  DARKNESS” ––– “women with their spices” and ontments go to salve the body; “they found Him NOT” (discover tomb is EMPTY); 

Mk16:2–8  “very early (before) SUN’S RISING” ––– women’s return–visit to ascertain; “they fled terrified and told NO ONE”.

Mt28:11–15  Guard to high priests.

 

USE BIBLES OF BEFORE THE TWENTIETH CENTURY – they are not as wangled as the later ones. And compare those ancient translations with the modern ones to see the truth of the older ones! 

 

Objection: 

The same verse you earlier used to assert that He resurrected on the Sabbath, can also be used to assert that He resurrected on Sunday!

 

Answer: 

If the verse you have in mind is Mt28:1, it CANNOT “also be used to assert that He resurrected on Sunday!

 

1)  BECAUSE of all the reasons I have already given from ALL the Scriptures

2)  BECAUSE of its ONLY CORRECT literal meaning:

 

opse de” and in fullness / late on / in

sabbatohn” of the Sabbath

(“sabbatohn”) the Sabbath’s / Sabbath’s–time’s

tehi” in the

epi” very / midst

phohs” light / daylight / (noon)

ousehi” in the being

eis” towards / before / tending / against

mian (hehmeran) sabbatohn”  Acc=excluded First (Day) of the week.

 

3)  Precisely as used in Lk23:54 for Friday “mid–afternoon before the Sabbath”. 

 

4)  BECAUSE of the Exodus and Leviticus passover instructions concerning Abib 14, 15, and 16. 

 

5)  BECAUSE of Mt12:40 and “three days AND three nights”. 

 

THEREFORE: 

1) Fifth Day : Wednesday night and Thursday day ––– Abib 14, Remove leaven and slaughter lamb;

2) Sixth Day / “the Preparation WHICH IS the Foresabbath” : Thursday night and Friday day ––– Abib 15, “that which remaineth” carried out and burned (interred); 

3) Seventh Day Sabbath “according to the (Fourth) Commandment” : Friday night and Sabbath, day ––– Abib 16, “First Sheaf Wave Offering Before the LORD”.

 

JV:  

In Mark 15:42 it says, “And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath (of Unleavened Bread).

Here we have Mark calling 2 different days, days of “preparation”. One the day before Jesus died, and one on the day that Jesus died.
You argue: “this Sabbath was their 7th day Sabbath.”
   

 

GE:  

In fact I “argue: “this Sabbath”, the day afterthe Sabbath of Unleavened Bread”, “was their 7th day Sabbath”. 

 

And you are already confused, in that ‘you argue’, “Here .... in Mark 15:42 .... we have Mark calling 2 different days, days of “preparation”. One the day before Jesus died, and one on the day that Jesus died.  

 

We are reading from “Mark 15:42”, are we not?  Now where, do weHere .... have Mark calling 2 different days, days of “preparation”— Plural, “days”?  One the day before Jesus died, and one on the day that Jesus died?  Where do we at all “here”, in “Mark 15:42”, read or even, find implied, “that Jesus died” on that day?  

 

Can’t you read, or can’t you lie, Joe?   

 

Here we have Mark calling one only day by its two different names, “The Preparation Day”, and, “The Fore–Sabbath” :The Preparation Day which is The Fore–Sabbath, was.”— Singular (‘Friday’).

 

And this day was neitherthe day before Jesus died”, northe day that Jesus died”.  It was the day after the day Jesus died!  

 

1)  Here we have Mark calling “the day of Preparation”, the day “which is the Fore–Sabbath”, which is the Sixth Day of the week.

2)  Here we have in Mark 15:42 it says, “And now when the evening (after sunset) had come already, it already being the Preparation which is the day before the (weekly) Sabbath”— which was the very day of Unleavened Bread— not, “.... the day before the Sabbath (of Unleavened Bread).   Friday was the sabbath of unleavened bread.
