3 Days AND 3 Nights

[A Freeman]

You just contradicted yourself. Since Sunday began at sunset on the Sabbath, and the women didn't arrive until either just before or just after sunrise on Sunday, there are at least 8 hours between the Sabbath and when the women arrived at the tomb.

And they found the tomb EMPTY at that time, which means HE HAD ALREADY RISEN.

Please take the time to read the article and study the Gospel accounts for yourself before passing yet another erroneous judgement.

I think you just won the understatement award. I nearly fell off my chair laughing with the opening of "British" being a Hebrew word.

Brit/Brith is Hebrew and means "Covenant". The suffix -ish means the same thing in Hebrew as it does in English or Welsh (the closest modern language to Hebrew), which is "the people of". So British literally means "the people of the Covenant" and as Scripture clearly states, the ONLY Covenant God made was with the people of Israel.

Genesis 12:2 And I will make from thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy (seed's) NAME "Great"; and thou shalt be a blessing:

GREAT Britain. The British throne IS the Davidic throne of Israel.

Genesis 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called [(I)saac's sons - Saxons].

Truth is often ridiculed because most have an aversion to it.

"Britain" has a clear historical etymology from the Greek through the Latin and has absolutely nothing to do with the Hebrew language. You will note that the claim is made without providing a shred of evidence in its support. It is fiction.

Genesis 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called [(I)saac's sons - Saxons].

That is the most ridiculous junk etymology I have ever seen. Guess what, they didn't speak modern English back then, so there would never have been the expression "Isaac's sons".

Yes. Sort of ironic , isn't it.... from "GREAT" Britain has come such trouble over the whole world, the worse of it yet to be.

This is kind of like getting the best present in the world and then complaining about the wrapping paper.

The world, the natural man, always goes by the wrapping.

Different for disciples of JESUS - do not judge by what can be seen and heard, rather as the FATHER judges, adhere to the FATHER'S judgment .

I read it. It is wrong. The Gospels state plainly that Jesus died on the day of preparation (Friday) and was entombed for the Sabbath, rising to life on the third day (Sunday).

Never in the original , nor in Hebrew language nor greek nor in Hebrew customs, nor in truth.

You speak falsely. It is all through the Greek texts, and I've got no idea what you mean by "nor in the Hebrew language", since none of the Gospels were received in the Hebrew language.

Until it is CLEARLY understood that there were TWO SABBATHS the week that Jesus was crucified, people will WRONGLY assume that the crucifixion occurred on a Friday.

John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an HIGH DAY [The Passover - Wednesday 21/4/34],) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.

The Last Supper that Jesus had with His disciples was the PASSOVER. The Feast of Unleavened Bread, which lasts a week, begins the next day, and is marked by a High Sabbath on both the first and last day of the feast.

Leviticus 23:1-8
23:1 And the "I AM" spoke unto Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the Feasts of the "I AM", which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] My Feasts.
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the (weekly) Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the Sabbath of the "I AM" in all your dwellings.
23:4 These [are] the Feasts of the "I AM", [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
23:5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at evening [is] the "I AM"'s Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto the "I AM": seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the "I AM" seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

The crucifixion took place on a WEDNESDAY, exactly as prophesied (Dan. 9:27). They had to get the body of Jesus down before sunset, because at sunset the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a High Sabbath, would begin.

No work or commerce is allowed on the Sabbath day. So the women had to wait until Friday, the day in between the High Sabbath and the Weekly Sabbath, on Saturday, to prepare the spices and ointments, before resting on the WEEKLY Sabbath. There is NO way the women prepared the spices and ointments on the Sabbath, as that would have been against The Law.

Luke 23:52-56, 24:1-3
23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
23:54 And that day was the preparation (Wednesday), and the Sabbath drew on (the High Sabbath on Thursday).
23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments (on Friday); and rested the Sabbath day (Saturday) according to the Commandment.
24:1 Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.
24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

Early Sunday morning they found the tomb EMPTY because Christ had already risen (on Saturday, the Sabbath Day, aka the Lord's day) after spending three days AND three nights in the heart of the earth.

Wednesday night + Thursday night + Friday night = 3 nights.

Friday night + Saturday night = 2 nights.

So the teaching of a "Good" Friday crucifixion and a Sunday morning resurrection is obviously a FALSE teaching (i.e. a LIE), as the Scriptures clearly prove.

This only matters to those who are genuinely seeking the truth and consider it precious enough to take the time to find it instead of blindly following the evil majority who have no love for it.

On The Way to Emmaus Again

The Last Supper that Jesus had with His disciples was the PASSOVER.

As was explained earlier, there is good reason--several of them, in fact--for concluding that it was not.

None of which are true.

Matthew 26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the Feast of] the Passover, and the Son of Man is betrayed to be crucified.

Matthew 26:17-19
26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples.
26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover.

Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?
14:15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us.
14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.

Luke 22:8-16
22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat.
22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?
22:12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.
22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:
22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.

John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Of those, only one can be used in support of the notion that it actually WAS a Passover meal. And that one has to stand against all that we have from Scripture that suggests it was not a Passover meal when it actually came off. Also, if Christ changed the meaning--to the Apostles' surprise, which seems apparent--it came while they were sitting there.

There was only one Sabbath. The reason it was called a high Sabbath is because that year the feast fell on the Sabbath. There are several feasts that have similar restrictions to the Sabbath, but they are not called Sabbaths themselves.

The piece from Leviticus 23, which establishes and defines the High Sabbaths associated with the Feast Dates, proves you are in error.

Please, for your own sake and for the sake of others you might mislead, admit your errors, and stop lying. You clearly don't know what you're talking about, as the Scriptures already quoted prove.

God Bless.

Quite the contrary, most of those feast days are holy convocations, but they are not called Sabbaths. Only a few of them are also called Sabbaths and they are not around the time of the passover. None of them are called High Sabbaths.

A holy convocation by definition IS a Sabbath, as there is no work permitted.

Leviticus 23:3-4
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the Sabbath of the "I AM" in all your dwellings.
23:4 These [are] the Feasts of the "I AM", [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
23:5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at evening [is] the "I AM"'s Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto the "I AM": seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the "I AM" seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

High Sabbaths, in most Christian and Messianic Jewish usage, are seven annual Biblical festivals and rest days, recorded in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.[1][2][3] This is an extension of the term "high day" found in the King James Version atJohn 19:31-42.

You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with Scriptures, and trying to convince yourself and others that the Scriptures don't mean exactly what they say.

They do. And you should know better.
