Zone1 Three days and three nights in the tomb.

I gave up listening after I spent two minutes listening to the guy and all he did was blather on about nothing.

Hard to learn anything with that short of an attention span.

Actually, that is not right. In Jesus' day, they had no clocks or timepieces other than the shadow of the Sun on a sundial. An actual day today is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds long. We only count it as 24 hours for simplicity sake then add in Leap Years ever few years to adjust.

So in Jesus' day, a day was probably more like 23 hours, 55 minutes, and 56 seconds long as the Earth is slowly spinning down due to dynamic braking from the Moon.

A day was a full cycle of darkness and light, just as described in Genesis: "Evening and morning" were the...day. That was an official 'Jewish' day in Jesus' time; "dusk until dusk".

I gave up reading your reply after the first three words.

That said, if a person cannot even start to make their point after blathering on for TWO MINUTES, they deserve to lose audience. My free time is limited.

He never lived up to his potential.

He was the Kingpin on probably the most dominant team of the last 50 years. That's pretty good!

the stereotypical christian imagery being the subliminal message ...





made the subject matter as always secondary in their deceptual intent.

He revealed the subject in the first 40 seconds. You bailed out because you just weren't interested in the subject. No problem, lots of stuff isn't very interesting to everyone. And, his revelation isn't going to change many minds.

We work off atomic time references now. Back in 1996, they had to bring in a portable Stratum 3 cesium clock for a job I was involved in.

What’s the Difference Between the Four Stratum Levels?

In this post, we’ll discuss stratum clock systems and then explain what’s behind each of these stratum levels.

I've always had trouble with time, especially getting to work on time (although I'm always very punctual at quitting time).

When I read these passages as adult, what struck me most was that Jesus' followers were so intimately ingrained with Jewish laws and customs that they would not even consider doing anything with or to the body of Christ on the Sabbath. They were Orthodox Jews, not "Christians" at the time.

The church wouldn't be founded on the old covenant. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to "guide the church into all truth". The new covenant church would worship God "in spirit and in truth". God had separated the house of Israel from the house of Judah centuries earlier. When Jesus sent the apostles to the descendants of the house of Israel to build his church, they had lost all memory of the old covenant which would have been a stumbling stone for them.

They were followers of the Christ -- just not the paganized version we see in 99% of "Christianity"

People grasp at anything to deny Christ.
And the fact that the vast majority celebrate His resurrection a DAY AND A HALF AFTER His death is denying the promise of God

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

The difference of that shorter day to the twenty-four hour one is that the shorter one is measurement of the actual rotation relative to the universe and the stars seen, the twenty-four hours is measuring the rotation to have a point return to the same place relative to the sun, which is much more significant to us, and it is why we use the twenty-four cycle to count time.

As it was said, Christ was in the tomb three days and the three nights.
