Thursday was the Last Supper and the first night.
The crucifixion was on a Good Friday and the second night, correct?
Jesus was prepared and put in the tomb late in the afternoon on Friday, just before sundown.
Friday night and Saturday Jesus descends to the chasm of the Bosom of Abraham, where the martyrs and angels and Saints and Old Covenant saved were awaiting and jesus steals back His souls and with all, He crosses over to the chasm of death, busting down The Gates and tearing down the walls with flesh and binding the strongman, Satan in his own home like the parable of the thief in the night, and we know Jesus is not the bad guy here, and then destroys death forever, and resurrection for all ascending to the New Heaven and Earth, Heaven for all becoming again One Holy Spirit Family, One God in being, on Sunday.
To me that’s three nights and three days, OMNIlogically.
StephenAndrew,
re: “Thursday was the Last Supper and the first night.”
How could Thursday night be the first night of the Messiah’s prophesy that He would be in the “heart of the earth” for 3 nights if He wasn’t buried until late in the afternoon on Friday?
True, ratrats, and it looks like Jerusalem is referred to as the Tomb, I see here, right?
The Heart of The Earth is in Jerusalem and is perhaps for Christianity The Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, the holiest place on earth for Christians and The Church built on where both Jesus’ death and Resurrection happened.
The Last Supper took place in Jerusalem, in an upper room of a house. This was the final meal Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion.
The Triduum began on Thursday so Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night are the three nights.
Jesus was in the “Tomb of Jerusalem” “Out of Darkness comes Light” for Thursady, Friday and Saturday nights. The Lord will always provide the Jerusalem means “city of peace”. It comes from the Hebrew words Yireh, which means “the Lord will provide”, and Shalem, .which means “peace”
j
The interval “three days and three nights in the heart of earth” therefore refers only to a discrete and unique period of time in which Jesus’ body was located in Jerusalem prior to death and right after his resurrection.
Perhaps Friday night till Saturday AM, the evening of Friday night before Saturday when Mary arrived, somtime between those times, death and resurrection becoming again.
The biblical account, particularly in Matthew 28:1-6, states that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to the tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday), after the Sabbath, to see the sepulchre, not on Friday night.
Perhaps Sunday morning Easter they have discovered He is Risen.
Yes, Saturday was when from Baptized death and resurrection Sunday, The tomb was empty, from Holy Saturday from Friday crucifixion becoming again Sunday Easter the first day of the week.
Cade_One,
re: “Not sure if any of these are what you are looking for?”
Well, based on my last post, they could be a possible explanation. Unfortunately, what I wrote was poorly conceived and not what I was actually looking for. So, that’s my bad. Sorry for causing you to spend time on coming up with the suggestions.
"Since we are told his tomb was found empty “after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week” (Matt. 28:1), he must have risen between sunset Saturday and dawn Sunday. Whether this was before or after midnight Scripture does not say. He might have risen either Saturday night or Sunday morning before dawn, though, for purposes of determining when he was crucified, it doesn’t matter.
It can refer to any portion of a day coupled with any portion of a night. The expression “three days and three nights” could be used as simply a slightly hyperbolic way of referring to “three days.” Crucifixion Wednesday? Jimmy Akin • 3/1/1999
To me Three Days in the Tomb is arriving in the City of Jerusalem anointed with oils and received with palms, The Tomb.
