JamOn,
re: "Why you don’t think it’s part of the three days and nights?"
As I wrote previously, the topic title and OP were poorly conceived with regard to the intent of the topic. Unfortunately the title couldn't be edited once it was posted. However, It was clarified in a number of subsequent posts and most recently in post #929.
1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth"
2. There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.
3. Of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.
4. A 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.
5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of those mentioned above who say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language.
6. I simply wonder if anyone who falls in that group of believers could provide examples to support that belief; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime and/or no part of a night time could have occurred.
Again, the topic request for examples is with regard to the commonality of forecasting a daytime or a night time when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could occur.
The heart of the corrupted earth is represented by the blood of Abel . . crying out to be clothed with the incorruptible on the last day .He arose when the graves were opened
The three days three nights. . with three representing the end of the matter began in the garden. The first part of the 3 part demonstration to the world.
Matthew 26:37-39 King James Version (KJV) And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
the father pour out the cup of his wrath The Son as a living sacrifice suffered unto death. A punishment he could not bear so he cried out, the father heard and sent a messenger to strengthen the Son of man Jesus. three times together they work out the demonstration. Then the demonstration of the lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world moved to the cross. There the demonstration was shown in an another parable. Christ working suffering indicate by sweat which can represent the unseen work of the Spirit as if it was literal blood. To shown the father was working with Him. The third part of the three day demonstration is in the tomb where the father continued to strengthen the Son in order finish the mutual work of God .
Luke 22:44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Not sweat
is blood. But
as it were. Sweat as if it was the work of the Spirit.
The belly of the whale in that parable in Jonas is used a companion parable. Jesus the fulfillment of the last sign and wonder compared to the Jonas parable.. It gives us the same gospel understanding. Two working together three days and finished the work of bring the gospel to the world.
The King James seem to describes
hell as a living suffering by reason of ones affliction. Like that with Jonas Or the Son of Man Jesus. But were given the breath of life from the father .
Some see hell beyond what the eyes see. Just as like catholic who see salvation beyond what the eyes see. Puragtory
But where would that faith come from for both ? It would be like to me. . . Thou will not surely die.
Jonah 2 King James Version (KJV) Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
