Matthew 16:21 "From that time forth began Yahshua to show His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priest and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."
Matthew 17:23 "...and the third day He shall be raised again."
Matthew 20:19 "...and the third day He shall rise again."
Mark 9:31 "...and He shall rise the third day."
Mark 10:34 "...and the third day He shall rise again."
Luke 9:22 "..and be raised the third day."
Yahshua's teaching seems to show quite clearly that he would be raised the third day. What do some of the disciples say in their writings?
Luke says:
Acts 10:40 "Him Yahweh raised up the third day, and showed Him openly."
Paul says:
1Cor. 15:3-4 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures;"(4)" And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
We see over and over again how scripture verifies that Yahshua rose again the third day. But some how, some where along the way, we have adopted the idea this meant He was in the grave 72 hrs, making it 3 days and 3 nights, although we dont find it in scripture where He said He'd be in the "grave" that long.
Lets count...we know that from Lev. 23 that Yahshua was to be out first fruits, our passover Lamb. And that passover was to be the 14th day of the month.
In Matthew 27: 57-61 We have a clear picture of what happen on the 14th day, the day of preparation. After Yahshua died a man named Joseph,a disciple of Yahshua, came and asked for the body of Yahshua and placed Him in a tomb. Verses 62-66 gives us the day after preparation, it being the 15th and a Sabbath. Here the chief priest and Pharisees come together and ask Pilate for a watch to be set at Yahshua's tomb...V.64 "Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day..." Note: If Yahshua was going to be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights..why not set the watch until after the 3rd night, unto the 4th day? Matthew 28:1 "In the end of the Sabbath.." (remember the sabbath ended here at sundown and the new day began, the 16th.) "...as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week .." came the women. Verse 2: " And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of Yahweh descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it." (3) " His countenance was like lightening, and his raiment white as snow:" (4) "And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and become as dead men." (5) " And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:for I know that ye seek Yahshua, which was crucified." (6) He is not here: for He is risen, as He said..."
So we have day 1: day of preparation, the 14th. And that evening began day 2: the sabbath, the 15th. And that evening began day 3, the 16th and also being the 1st day of the week. And we find He was already risen before the women came to the tomb! Barely into the third day, let alone close to having the third night yet.
So what do you all think? 3 days and 3 nights?

About 4YHWH
- 4YHWH
- 4YHWH started out on msn. One thing led to another and it became a group of strongly opinionated members, filled with hot debates and nearly 500 members before this move. MSN groups are ending; almost to the relief of 4YHWH managers who have become unable to keep up with the groups reponses. Unfortunately we are unable to save and transfer every study from the old site as there are hundreds. But we've decided to try keep some of the studies and links available here on blogspot, with out the heated and time consuming debates. Enjoy, and we hope we can help to prompt you to study deeper and see beyond the maze; to get you out of your comfort zone, to wake you up. And, of course, always to encourage you to keep the Faith!

1) Your reckoning time beginning at sunset is wrong
2) Your assumption that the 14th is the Prparation is wrong
3) The Sabbath after the day He was crucified is not the 15th Sabbath, but 21st Sabbath!
1)I could be wrong on all accounts.
2)If Passover was the 15th, as I understand it to be, this automatically makes the 14th preparation day.
3)And then of course would make it unlikely for the 21st to be a sabbath. Considering Yahshua was the passover lamb, it wouldnt be possible for the day after his death to be so late into the next week.
1) If you come to understand that days begin at dawn/or morning, you will easily understand the timeline in the whole Bible. I hope you will. ^^
2) Read the Bible and you will see the day when the Passover lamb is to be slain is Abib 14th, which is the Passover. And the 15th is the Sabbath(Annual) and so is the 21st.
3) Yes, the 21st, which is the last day of Unleavened Bread, is also the Sabbath(annual).
Plus, Christ himself said that He would be in the heart of the earth 3 days and 3 nights! He did not say "I will be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights."
Then, it is vital to grasp what "in the heart of the earth" meant.
1)I am open to the morning being the beginning of the day.
2)OK, I'm following you so far, but a little confused as to...
3)How the 15th can be a sabbath and then the 21st? Seeing that there must be 6 working days between each sabbath.
The 15th is an annual Sabbath and so is the 21st, not weekly. Read Lev 23, please.
It's all fairly easily verified, the month of Nisan/Aviv(Abib) contains the fast of the firstborn, which is the introduction to the feast of unleavened bread ("In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings is the LORD'S Passover" - Lev. 23.5..."An unblemished lamb or kid is to be set apart on Nisan 10,[10] and slaughtered on Nisan 14 "between the two evenings"). There is some debate over the year of the crucifixion, between either 30 or 33 AD/CE as the best guesses, but I feel this is resolved fairly well by circumstantial supernatural evidence (http://www.aaronscopeland.com/bible_articles/history/bible_history_talmud.html) as actually taking place in 30 AD/CE. According to the corresponding calendars (http://www.uwm.edu/cgi-bin/corre/calendar), this puts Nisan/Aviv 14 on Wednesday, resulting in the crucifixion having taken place on Wednesday, and the resurrection, per the biblical account of 3 days and 3 nights as well as the visit to the tomb and the missing body on sunday morning, having taken place on the weekly Sabbath. If I err or there or other facts I'm missing, let me know at *remove spaces* magus 1332 @ yahoo . com as I seek the truth, whatever it is. HalleluYah.
Dear Friends,
May I recommend visiting my website www.magyarbattila.hu to access an essay on the above topic (first click on the GB or US flag and LINK).
Mine is a Tuesday crucifixion/Friday resurrection doctrine.
May God bless you.
