Was Jesus Christ three days and three nights in the tomb? We know that He was buried about sunset on the day He was crucified. And from the scriptures we know He claimed He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, the same time as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish.
So if Jesus was to rise from the grave after this time frame, which was the only sign that He would give to the Pharisees and Sadducees, Then what day and hour did He rise from the dead?
This is a very controversial subject and there are several different answers. The only place we can get an accurate answer is from the word of God. The Holy Bible. I wrote this book as a result of my personal studies on this subject.
Traditional Christianity follows the Good Friday crucifixion and resurrected on Sunday Morning. Other Christian groups believe in a Wednesday Afternoon burial and a Saturday or Sabbath day Resurrection three days later.
Which one is correct and is it possible to prove it from the scriptures alone?
If Jesus Christ was to accurately fulfil the prophecy of the "sign of Jonah". Which was the only sign He was to give the Pharisees. Then how many hours was the Son of Man to be in the grave before He was resurrected from the dead? A study of this topic is the purpose of this book.
The correct answer to the question "When did Jesus rise from the tomb" may be a surprise to many readers. I have given many scripture references to back up what I have written.
God bless you for reading.
