And despite every person being wrong for the last 2000 years about it happening, the people making the prediction will come out tomorrow and say that they realized where their mistakes were in the calculation and now have a new date.
Jesus died at 3PM on Good Friday - how do we know it was 3PM? Had the Romans broken the day up into hours by that time or were they just guessing that halfway between Noon and Sunset was 3PM?
He was in the Tomb from then on - or a little after, when Joseph of Arimathea petitioned Pilate to release the body to him, so it could be laid in his tomb - and all day Saturday
He was Resurrected sometime before morning , when Mary Magdalene discovered He was gone, and told John & Peter, who ran to the Tomb - inspiring the first Race Report
So, to be accurate, He was only dead for maybe 39 hours? Being the Bible, let’s make it an even 40 (they like that number) - it had been a rough couple days and maybe she slept in a little
Anyway, NOT three days; unless there’s something in Jewish/Hebrew tradition that says if you’re dead for any part of a day, you’re dead for the whole day
I know there’s a parable where workers in the field who worked only the last hour of the day were paid the same full wage as workers who had showed up early & worked the whole day, which kinda pissed the earlier workers off a bit, but Jesus sort of used that to explain that it didn’t matter when in life people came to Him, in the Kingdom of Heaven everyone would be treated the same
