Happy good Thursday! – Faith_Warrior

The problem with that is that this only leaves two days before the resurrection when scripture clearly teaches that three days and then the resurrection. Many seem to overlook that this was a high Sabbath calibration or shabbaton that was going on and that Thursday was the day of preparation for the special Sabbath which consisted of two Sabbaths in a row. So yes, it really was three days between the crucifixion, Thursday, and the resurrection which occurred on Sunday. So, Happy good Thursday!

No one comes to the Father except through me.

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Sunrise, sunset... ------------------ MM out- Thought travels much faster than sound, it is better to think something twice, and say it once, than to think something once, and have to say it twice.

He released his Spirit into the Fathers hands at the end of the day… the Romans were all in a rush to get them all cleaned out before the Sabbath began. Thursday evening aka Friday night was the first night. New day starts in the evening. Friday was the first day. Saturday night (Friday evening) was the second night. Saturday was the second day. Sunday night was the third night. Sunday was the third day. Three days, three nights. You can also be a little more technical and say Thursday was a partial day and Sunday was a partial day adding up to a total of one day between them. Well you know most of Thursday He was busy being crucified and He rose early on Sunday.

Hey, Faith_Warrior! I've never heard of this "shabbaton" - can you explain it, please? Thanks! ------------------ it's pronounced "tonics"

Tonnyx Member Posts: 140 From: Indiana, USA Registered: 08-02-2005	Oh wait, hold on - I know what you're talking about now, as far as there being special Sabbaths that fall on days other than Saturday. So I guess my question is, what is your evidence that there were two Sabbaths in a row during this particular Passover? I'm not disagreeing with you as of yet, but you offer no evidence for there being the two Sabbath-in-a-row situation here, and I can't agree or disagree until you do. Thanks! ------------------ it's pronounced "tonics"

John 19:31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. It was with a High Sabbath, a Sabbath followed by the second Sabbath. Aviv 15 the special Sabbath and Aviv 16 the regular Sabbath. On the special Sabbath they prepared the lamb for the meal. Matthew 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 1In the end<1161><3796> of the sabbath<4521>, as it began to dawn<2020>(5723) toward<1519> the first<3391> day of the week<4521>, came<2064>(5627) Mary<3137> Magdalene<3094> and<2532> the other<243> Mary<3137> to see<2334>(5658) the sepulchre<5028>. 04521: 4521 sabbaton sab'-bat-on of Hebrew origin (7676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:--sabbath (day), week. see HEBREW for 07676 Here is a chart that may help.
