Leviticus 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Sabbath ended sundown on saturday. Jesus arose on the feast of firstfruits the morrow after sabbath.

That is what I meant also. Sometimes when I think sabbath I think Sunday, but Sunday is actually the first day of the week, the day after Sabbath. Adventists have that right.

He arose ON the third day. The 72hr theory has him arising on the FOURTH day.

The first day of the week is the third day, upon which he arose. To arise ON the third day, according to the 72hr view, he had to have arisen ON the sabbath, not the first day of the week. But he arose ON the third day, and it was ON the first day of the week.

A Thursday crucifixion with a 72hr requirement has the resurrection taking place AFTER sunset SUNDAY. Thurs night, Fri day, Fri night, sat day, sat night...oops, we need one more DAY IN THE TOMB to satisfy a 72hr requirement... which means he would have been resurrected AFTER sunset on Sunday... thus ON the fourth day, and not as the bible says on the THIRD day.

A wed crucifixion with a 72hr requirement does not fit the scripture, for it has him resurrecting on either the FOURTH day, or on the SABBATH.

A Thursday crucifixion with a 72hr requirement doesn't fit either, for then he is rising on the FOURTH day AND on the SECOND day of the week.

ANY theory that uses a 72hour requirement CANNOT fit the biblical data of him rising on the third day AND on the first day of the week.

Therefore, the 72hr theory is to be rejected.

Having dispensed with that, it remains to be seen if a Thursday, wednesday , or Friday crucifixion satisfies all the biblical data.

A Wednesday crucifixion and a Sunday resurrection has him rising the fourth day if you do not count the day he actually died, and if you include that day then he rose the fifth day. Not as the bible says "the third day".

A Thursday crucifixion gives us rising on the third day on Sunday IF you do not count the day he was crucified. If you do then he is rising on the fourth day not the third.

Luke 24:19-21 says the resurrection, on the first day of the week, was on the third day since his arrest, which according to a Thursday crucifixion theory would have been on Wednesday night the fourth day of the week. BUT the third day since Wednesday night would be the SABBATH, seventh day of the week. And thus impossible according to the bible data.

A Friday crucifixion is the only thing that satisfies the biblical data. Both the wed and thursd theories do not.

Right on, Esaias! I wondered what you thought.

Great explanation on the three days! Thanks.

I believe a spiritual message is seen in the Friday to Sunday picture.

Friday is the sixth day of the week. It represents the day mankind was created in the old creation race of Adam. It's our beginnings, so to speak.

Sunday is the first day of the next week. The 8th day, so to speak. A NEW BEGINNING. That's why infants were circumcised the 87th day showing a spiritual message of new beginnings. A foreshadow of resurrection into newness of life.

So the first day of the week represents a new beginning for a new creation week. But in this new creation week, man is made first.

So, for Christ to die the sixth day and resurrect the first day of the next week, it shows God taking us back to the day of our beginnings in the failed race of Adam and causing us to DIE that very day in Him, and united to Him by death He transports us to the new beginning and we rise into newness of life as new creation!

i think an understanding that Jews count from 1 and not 0 fixes most of this.
