PS,
re: "In the latter passage the English 'in three days' is literally 'after three days' in the original Greek."
That would be an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you might start one.
Three is a word set aside to describe the "end of a matter": as to whatever is in view. . . throughout the bible. The reason we are given the Jonas three day account so that we can compare the spiritual unseen understanding to the same faith to faith .Comparing spiritual
unseen things, with and to spiritual,
unseen things.
A one day demonstration would make to use of the word three without effect.. as to how it is used throughout.
Three days in the belly of the whale called hell equals three days in the heart of the earth as a living suffering.
It began in the garden of Gethsemane when Christ in the Son of man worked to pour out His Spirit unto death as if it was blood in agony and the Father poured out the wrath Jesus. (Isaiah 53) Jesus cried out to the father not seen and was strengthened God sent angels to finish the demonstration. just as with Jonas rising from the depth of the Sea placed on the dry ground or with Jesus rising from the tomb on the first day of the week. The beginning of the new era of Sabbaths. The day he said... let there be light .
Rather than belly of the whale or heart of the earth he uses baskets to present the gospel in Genesis 40
Genesis 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The
three baskets are
three days:
Three days of working to suffer a living hell for Josef same as Jonas or Jesus, the Son of man
