Just a moment ago I looked out my window and I still saw shadows. Earlier I had set a timer so I wouldn't miss sunset.
Not sure what this means? Are you saying that Jeremiah was wrong for saying a Day was ending when the shadows failed?

It's strong H6153 which means "dusk" but that is actually a period known as dusk, and the period is defined from its original verb H6150 - which means to grow in darkness.
So the meaning of Evening is the Period in which it is growing in darkness.
The Jews knew the Day was dictated by it casting a shadow:
Jer 6:4 Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail.
They knew that when the shadows were gone so was the day part and that evening had come. It was by the SHADOWs they knew the Day.
Just like in English with the word "day", the Hebrew word yom can have different meanings depending on context. In this instance the meaning of the word is clearly being used to speak of daytime rather than nighttime.

Typical heterodox ill-informed objection.At this point, your arguments are irrational and illogical. You're just protecting a lie.

In Matt 12:8 "day" refers to an entire 24 hour period, the Sabbath day.
Matthew 12:8In Joh 9:4 "day" refers to the period of daylight vs. night time in a 24 hour day.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
John 9:4
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
And that addresses my post and the topic how?My opinions are definitely heterodoxy. So was Christ's at the time.

That might be a good thing since you do not know what you are talking about. I have proved from Jewish sources you don't know what you are talking about.I've moved on from you. Until you can resolve your problem with understanding the Biblical Day, then your just holding unto a false ideas.

Actually, no, our Lord Jesus Christ didn't teach anything that was heterodox. The clash between Jesus and the Pharisees didn't have anything to do with matters of doctrine. Our Lord was, for all intents and purposes, theologically, a Pharisee. It's why our Lord expressly said that His followers ought to listen to what the Pharisees say, because they sit in Moses' seat--what He condemns is the hypocrisy, "They do not practice what they preach".
Now, the early Christians may have been charged as, effectively, "heretics" under Judaism; but the split between Christianity and Pharisaic Judaism (the precursor to Rabbinic Judaism) was a slow one. Both Christianity and Judaism moved in their own independent directions, but between Pentecost and the destruction of the Temple, Jews and Christians were very often quite intermingled--as the vast majority of Christians were good, devout, synagogue attending, Temple observing Jews (even St. Paul continued to worship at the Temple, as demonstrated in the Acts of the Apostles).
You aren't the first person to try and claim that Jesus was a "heretic" and therefore it's okay for us to be heretical; but it's a bad argument because it is fundamentally just not true. And further, there is a whole lot of difference between being heretical in regard to the institutional Judaism of the first century, and being heretical in regard to Jesus Christ our Lord Himself--concerning which the Apostles very absolutely clear is unacceptable.
Those false teachers and false prophets preaching false gospels, preaching the doctrines of demons, and following after false opinions--haireseis (heresies)--are consistently condemned in Scripture.
