There are some folks 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. The Messiah said that He would be in the “heart of the earth” for 3 days and 3 nights (Matthew 12:40). Of those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, there are some who think that the “heart of the earth” mentioned in the verse is referring to the tomb. However, a 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved with the Messiah’s time in the tomb. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of those mentioned above who try to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
And that is the only issue of this topic, i.e., the commonality of saying that a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred. I wonder if anyone who may fall in the above group of believers might provide actual examples/instances to support the belief of commonality.
True, and what do we think happened during these days, He was gone and reappeared as he said He Would. What logically transpired is what some say happened during and after is Descension and resurrection, just asking?
Friday, crucifixion Saturday center of earth and Sunday the resurrection, seems logical to me.
Biblical consensus: All four Gospels in the New Testament agree that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Good Friday: Christians commemorate the crucifixion on “Good Friday”.
Sabbath preparation: The Bible mentions that Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Sabbath, which aligns with a Friday.
I think He emptied the heart of the earth, the Chasm of The Bosom of Abraham and closed the chasm of Death and resurrected Life and Spirit to the New Heaven and Earth, Heaven within about 3 days, 2 nights, to me.
The Heart of the Earth is the Bosom of Abraham where thay all awaited, and Jeusu emptied the Bosom of Abraham, and took back His souls from the Old Covenant Sacrifice that were saved, and crossed over to the chasm of Death and closed it, resurrecting all life to the New Heaven and Earth, Heaven, and all in the third night, to me.
Thanks, rstats, Yes in reference with 3 Days and two nights, perhaps the Third night, Heaven was reopened.
re: “Thanks again do you think it was a Saturday crucifixion?”
No. Why do you ask?
re: "To me the sixth day of the week is Friday…:
Which is the day I was referring to when I wrote sixth day of the week crucifixion. I was simply wondering how you arrive at a third night with a sixth day of the week crucifixion/first day of the week resurrection?
Thanks, true there can be confusion on the Sabbath, historically, and ,
To you, What day of the week is Sunday?
Friday is the 6th day of the week making Saturday the seventh day of the Week.
The first day of the week is always, Sunday, religiously, to all, logically. The Gregorian calendar, currently used in most countries, is derived from the Hebrew calendar, where Sunday is considered the beginning of the week . Although in Judaism the Sabbath is on Saturday, while in Christianity it is on Sunday, Sunday is considered the beginning of the week in both religious traditions.
Jesus, Crucifixion was on a Friday, 6th day, descention was on Saturday, 7th day closing the chasm of Death and crossing over to the chasm of the Bosom of Abraham and emptying of all souls awaiting and resurrection for all is on the Sabbath, Sunday, the first day of the Week.
So Heaven was opened on the Third night, Sunday, the gates reopened for all mankind and angels, on the Sabbath.
re: “Jesus, Crucifixion was on a Friday, 6th day… and resurrection for all is on… Sunday, the first day of the Week. So Heaven was opened on the Third night, Sunday…”
So, I ask again, how do you arrive at a third night with that time frame? Where is the third night?
re: “Monday is the second day of the week. Right?”
While the exact timing of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection is debated by scholars, the core idea remains that Jesus’ time in the tomb was a period of “three days and three nights” as referenced in Matthew 12:40.
Peace to all,
To me, The story is an allusion to the Parable of the Story, Jonah in the Whale of the fishes belly, a story symbolic of Old Covenant resurrection, and second becoming for all in Heaven, the glorified transfiguration for all becoming again, in One Holy Spirit Family and One God in being, and actually is 3 days and two nights, the third night was spent for all in Heaven, Heaven reopened, logically, and rationally.
re: “Thanks, this to me is New Covenant fulfilled…what’s your thoughts?”
You said the crucifixion took place on a Friday with the resurrection taking place on a Sunday. Saturday night would be the first night and Sunday night would be the second night. How do you reconcile the lack of the third night?

I am checking OMNIlogically, now, thanks.
Easter Triduum
Holy Thursday, Celebrates the Last Supper, when Jesus established the Eucharist and ordained his apostles as priests. It’s also the beginning of the Easter Triduum, which ends with Easter Sunday.
The Crucifixion began on Holy Thursday, the Last Supper, the first night, logically.
The three holy days that make up the Triduum are Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. The Triduum is a time of remembrance for the final days of Jesus’ life, his death, and his resurrection.
Saturday night becomes the third night and Friday night is the second night.
Holy Thursday is a Christian holy day that commemorates Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. It’s also known as Maundy Thursday. Washing of the feet.
You write in post #15: “The Crucifixion began on Holy Thursday…”
In post #2 you wrote: “Friday, crucifixion Saturday center of earth and Sunday the resurrection, seems logical to me.”
You now say that Thursday was the day of the crucifixion. Is that now your new position? If yes, then there is no problem arriving with at least a portion of each one of 3 nights.
re: “Saturday night becomes the third night and Friday night is the second night.”
Actually, with a Thursday death at around 3pm, Friday night would be the first night.
The three holy days that make up the Triduum are Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. The Triduum is a time of remembrance for the final days of Jesus’ life, his death, and his resurrection.
Holy Thursday was the first night, Good Friday the second night and Saturday, the third night, right.
The Triduum began on Thursday so Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night are the three nights.
The time period from Thursday evening to Sunday morning, which included burial in the tomb, is considered the "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”.
The first night would be Thursday night, the second night Friday night and the third night Saturday night the last day of the week.
