Yahshua was not buried in the ground three days !!!
Yahosh'ah was not buried in the ground three days !!
.
"Then, at that time, certain individuals among the Scribes (grammateus
- public servants, politicians, judges, teachers, theologians, and
journalists) and Pharisees (Pharisaios - the sect of rabbis who
recognized, promoted, imposed, and valued the Babylonian Talmud and
man’s oral traditions over Yahowah’s Scriptures) said, ‘Teacher
(didaskalos) we want (thelo - we desire) to see (horao - to witness
with our own eyes and to personally experience) a sign (semeion - an
unusual occurrence, a token which distinguishes) from you.’ But He
answered and said to them, ‘An annoying, works oriented (poneros -
unethical, diseased and blind, worthless, wicked) and adulteress
(moichalis - those in relationships with whores and false gods)
generation (genea - descendants of "poneros and moichalis") seek
(epizeteo - clamor for, crave, and demand) a token (semeion - a sign).
But (kai - and so) no (ou) sign (semeion - unusual occurrence) shall be
given (didomi - granted, supplied, or furnished) to them (autos),
except (ei) the token that distinguished (semeion - the unusual
occurrence of) the prophet Ionas (Greek transliteration of the Hebrew
Yownah, symbolic of the Spirit). For just as (gar hosper) Ionas/Yownah
was three days and three nights in the center (koilia - innermost part)
of the great fish (ketos - from chasma, meaning that which opens wide)
so (houto) the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in (en -
by or with) the heart (kardia - the center of circulation and life) of
the land (ge - earth)." (Matthew 12:25-40)
The prophetic predictions and the eyewitness confirmations are well documented and perfectly clear. Yahosh'ah arrived in Jerusalem, the "heart and center of the land" on Monday, March 28, 33 CE, the exact day Daniel predicted over 500 years earlier. But He didn’t stay. According to Mark 14, Yahosh'ah, sought to thwart the desire of the "Chief Priests and Scribes to seize Him by stealth and kill Him" prior to "the Feast of Passover, so as to diminish the likelihood of a riot by the people." He did this by spending "two days," those being Tuesday and Wednesday, "in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper." While the Messiah was willing to sacrifice Himself on our behalf He was not willing to have any aspect of His fulfillment of the three days depicted in the Miqra’s of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits occur on days other than those previously specified.
So then Yahosh'ah returned to Jerusalem, "the heart and center of the land" on Thursday for Passover dinner. He stayed in town (courtesy of Caiphas’ dungeon accommodations) so that He could attend His own crucifixion on Friday, which was still Passover. The body of the Messiah spent the Sabbath of Unleavened Bread, which began at sundown and continued through Saturday, in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Roman guards were positioned just to make sure He remained in town. Sometime after sunset on Saturday, April 2nd, and before sunrise on Sunday the 3rd, Yahoshu'ah rose from the dead. But His body did not leave Jerusalem until later that morning, going to heaven and then to a "village called Emmaus, which was sixty stadion [seven and a half miles] separated from (apo) Jerusalem." There is a reason we were given this otherwise irrelevant information by Mark and Luke.
The bottom line is: Yahosh'ah gave a sign that the religious and political leaders of Jerusalem "could see, personally witness and experience." "The Son of Man was three days and three nights in the heart (kardia - center of circulation and life) of the land (ge)." His promise was fulfilled uninterrupted for their viewing pleasure beginning on Thursday afternoon and ending late Sunday morning. That’s three days and three full nights.
