Last night I was going through each holy day in my head when it dawned on me there is a problem with our current belief of when things happend.

In Mathew 12:40 Jesus says he will be in the ground 3 days and 3 nights. It is a very clear statement, 3 days and 3 nights.

Our current belief puts the last supper on Thursday, Crucifixion on Friday and resurection on Sunday morning. If you do the math quickly you can see that Friday night to Sunday morning is not even close to 3 days and 3 nights.

This poses a problem because Jesus was taken off the cross in a hurry because it was a preperation day and the Sabboth was to follow. Now the Sabboth is a saturday in jewish culture. This means Jesus died on Friday.... or did he? Could it be that an annual sabboth day was being refered to and not a normal Sabboth day? This is supported by John 19:31 where it describes the sabboth day as a "high" or "special" sabboth day. Was passover on a Tuesday, crucifiction on a wed, special sabboth thursday, normal sabboth saturday, and resurection saturday evening (but no one noticed until Sunday morning)? This is a possiblity. Or maybe it was bumped forward so passover was on wed, crucifiction on thursday, special sabboth friday, sabboth saturday, resurection sunday. Something is wrong with our current celebration of holy days. Has anyone else looked into this? I have emailed my pastor and am waiting for a response. It isn't very important but is interesting to say the least.

Mathew 12:40 For as Jonah was thee days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

John 20:1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the enterence.

John 19:31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabboth.
