Day of the Crucifixion?

[kyredneck]

Do Baptists in general believe that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week?

I agree with @David Lamb:

there can be no definitive answer to your question.

Personally, I'll stick with tradition and the way I was taught growing up in a Southern Baptist church, and 'doing the math' from passages such as these - crucified on Friday the sixth day of the week, raised on Sunday the first day of the week.

Matthew Chapter 16

21​	From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

Matthew Chapter 17

23​	and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

Matthew Chapter 20

19​	and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.

Matthew Chapter 27

64​	Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

Luke Chapter 24

7​	saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Acts Chapter 10

40​	Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,

1st Corinthians Chapter 15

4​	and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;

Question for anyone/everyone: Where in OT scripture is the resurrection foretold? (idk)

1st Corinthians Chapter 15

4​	and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;

Never mind. I'll start another thread.

It was a 'suggestion' to look at the verse differently and change the emphasis from 'three days and three nights' to the type.

So, if your comments have nothing to do with the topic, can you explain to what the topic for your comment, "...to look at the verse differently and change the emphasis from 'three days and three nights' to the type." might be titled?

Day of the Crucifixion?​

 

[JD731]

The 4 gospels have a total of 89 chapter,
Matthew 28
Mark 16
Luke 24
John 21
Total 89

Jesus came to Jerusalem in these chapters to be crucified.

Matthew 21 = 8 Chapters
Mark 11 = 6 Chapters
Luke 19 = 6 Chapters
John 12 = 9 Chapters
Total 29 - Almost exactly 1/3 of the chapters.

Jesus Rose again in Jn 21 which makes 30 chapters. The number 30 is symbolic of maturity. The day he rose again was on the first day of the Jewish week, very early in the morning, which we know as Sunday. This reminds me of Psalm 19:1-6

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The sunrise each day reminds us of the light following the darkness and a new day all over the world.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

It was not only the first day of the week near dawn, Sunday, but it was also the end of the sabbath.

The key to knowing the day that Jesus came into Jerusalem is to believe Matthew 28:1 and to count backwards. This make the sabbath to be on
the 7th day and the day of his crucifixion to be on Friday or day six. So, day 6 Friday, day 5 is Thursday, day 4 Wednesday, day 3 Tuesday, day 2, Monday, day 1, Sunday. So, according to John 12:1 Jesus entered into Jerusalem on a sabbath day, which was six days before the Passover.

So, how long was Jesus in the tomb and what did his being in the tomb signify in God's way of typifying his prophetic words and deeds? Well, he died by giving up the ghost, his human soul, from his body at 3 o'clock. This is physical death, the separation of the spiritual side of man , his soul, from the physical, his body. However sin causes spiritual death and Jesus died this death on the cross in behalf of all men at 12 noon. His cry at that time was "my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." The holy Spirit of God who had indwelt him since conception had departed and the result was the world went into darkness. Jesus had said this in John 9:5, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Okay, I will continue my scriptural argument points for a Friday crucifixion in my next post but I want to finish this post with an appeal to reason, common sense, and logic.

History and time is viewed in scripture prophetically in two ways. Men views time such as a day is an evening and a morning or in our case a morning and an evening, day and night, God says in 1 Peter 3 that he views a day as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. So a week for us is seven twenty four days but for God a week is seven one thousand year days. He has designated 6 of those 7 days in the recurring week to be work days but the 7th day is the day of rest. But, for God the days do not recur and there is only one week wherein he will finish his work of redemption and restoration in time and he too will do his work on six days and will rest on the seventh day. Therefore his rest day will be 1000 years long and will be his sabbath rest from his labor. The prophets calls this day "the day of the LORD."

These two views are incorporated by God in many of his prophecies and one is typical of the other. I am surprised no one seems to have noticed. Just one example that is easy to see is Mark 9. Jesus said some of his apostles would not die until they saw the physical kingdom of Christ. The KJV says these words about the disciples,

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

After six days is the sabbath day when Jesus will be resting in his kingdom of glory for one thousand years. Hence, one program of time typifies the other. This is the way of God.

The time in the tomb for Jesus is only one full day. He died at 3 pm and by the time he was put in the tomb and it was sealed left very litte time on the clock for day six, but it left some so his body was in the tomb on Friday. He rose at dawn on Sunday like he had been rising at dawn in type since the world was created and so Sunday was the third day. God typifies ALL of his works.

Joh 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Change the emphasis from 'three days and three nights' to the type

 

[percho]

And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, [on 14 Nisan] and after three days rise again. Mark 8:31


Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? From John 11:9

Be killed
and
After three days of John 11 Which I believe to be the same as the first evening and morning of Genesis 1:5

After the day of the 15th, 16th and 17th Nisan

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
From John 11:9,10 If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

As the soul Jonah was in Sheol three days and three so shall the soul of Son of Man be three days and three nights in Hades.
Jonah 2:2 YLT And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice.
Acts 2:31 YLT [added] having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again [resurrection] of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption

As to the OP, Friday does not have a chance!

Yes after the sabbaths [it is plural in Matt 28:1] Christ was no longer in the tomb. The sabbath of the 15th and the 17th.

 

[JD731]

If Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the first day of the week like the scripture says then he laid in the tomb all the 24 hours of the sabbath day, which is the seventh and last day of the week. He gives us the times. He dismissed his spirit at three o'clock in the afternoon on crucifixion day and here is what is said about that.

Lk 23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them)
he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 5 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. (it means it was close) 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, (they followed Joseph) and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. (the 4th of the ten commandments).

Note: There was enough time left on Friday after his burial for the ladies from Galilee to return to where they were staying and prepare spices and ointments to anoint the body and not violate the sabbath law.

These are the inspired words of God in these passages. How do we not just believe what they say and consider that we are being told that Friday is the crucifixion day, the preparation day, and the day of the burial, the day before the sabbath and day one of the three days and three nights?

I am told by people in the know, and this passage bears it out as being true, that in Jewish thought any part of a day counts as the whole day. This must be true because of the language in other passages in the Bible that says Jesus was three days and three nights in the heat of the earth. I am not going to say this passage in Luke is not true because of that wording. I believe the testimony of all the Bible and it a problem arises it will be with my lack of light on the subject and not because God has told more than one story about it. All the days of these 8 days are chronicled in these 29 verses that deals with these days.

This brings me to what I call prophetic parallels in the scriptures where the same event or passages applies to more than one entity because the experience of all are so similar. For instance, the people and nation of Israel is presented to us in the OT experience as collectively the firstborn son of God but their relationship with God is after the flesh and sinful and disobedient because they have no inward power to do right. But Jesus Christ, the son of God who identifies with him does have the power to obey God because that inward power is the Spirit of God from his conception (For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him Joh 3:34) And he is willing to follow the same condemnation as they in order to redeem them and give them his righteousness which is the Spirit). The catch is, that as Israel is counted by God as a sinner collectively, she must be saved collectively and this has never been even close to happening yet, but it will, it must.

I am going to quote two verses without commentary to prove this statement but one should read the context.

Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized EVERY ONE OF YOU in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

What Jesus suffered on the cross is a precursor to what Israel will suffer in the day of the LORD, the great tribulation, when Acts 3:23 is literally and finally fulfilled and all that are left, though few in number will be saved and will go into the rest of the one thousand year day of rest with Christ. If you do not believe this then just compare the revelation with the events of the cross even down to the turning off of the lights of heaven while God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost is absent from their presence and he is purifying them as silver is purified 7 times.

Speaking of the whole world:
Isaiah 24:6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Speaking of Israel in particular:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


So this is a few words about the parallels in the prophets. Anyone who finally enters into the physical kingdom of Jesus Christ must first be saved, otherwise they must be killed. The final three hours on the cross of Jesus Christ relates to the 1260 days of the great tribulation that we read about in the scriptures.

One must learn the ways of God as well as the words of God.
