I’m sorry I’m not understanding the post[/QUOTE]
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 has been clarified in a number of subsequent posts and most recently in post #987.
The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth"
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.
Of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.
A 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.
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.
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.
So 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.
