I've known for some time that the resurrection day is substantially profound in the Christian realm of today, but in my ignorance, I was never able to connect it with the slaughter of the Passover Lamb in Exodus until deeper study into the Word of God. After leaving Egypt, Israel spend three days traveling to the Rea Sea. We can fine the places that they encamped in Exodus 13:20 which was the beginning of the second day, and the third day is recorded in Exodus 14:2. On the fourth day they crossed the Red Sea recorded in Exodus 14:24-27. Then three days later, which completes the time period of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, they come to a body of water that isn't fit to drink. We read in Exodus 15:22-25a. “So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet:”
In the same way, Jesus compares His three days in the grave with Jonah's three days in the belly of the fish. This is confirmed by Jesus in Matthew 12:40 when Jesus says, “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” The fish regurgitated Jonah “after” those three days which is the exact same time period as Jesus was in the grave. Mark 8:31 says Jesus would rise after three days. Jonah 1:17 says Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, and we know that Jesus rose from the dead on the fourth day after His burial, and Jonah was regurgitated on the forth day after the fish swallowed him. Both days are the same day that Israel crossed the Red Sea. We don't have information of what Jesus was doing three days after His resurrection, but we do know that it took three days journey for Jonah to get to Nineveh according to Jonah 3:3, and for Israel to arrive at Marah to find water that was made palatable to drink after Moses put the tree with the water. This completes the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened bread in the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] month in relation to the Feast of Tabernacles in the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] month given for God's children to remember the saving power of God Almighty. Jesus is the bread of life and the living water given so we will never thirst again.
The Word of God says it best in John 4:7, 11-14. “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
This is a small introduction to the 7 days of tabernacles and the 7 days of unleavened bread.
