       Common Figure of Speech/Colloquial Language?
       By: rstrats Date: February 12, 2021, 6:05 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights
       in the "heart of the earth".
       2. There are some who think that the crucifixion took place on
       the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on
       the 1st day of the week.
       3. And of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the
       earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to the moment
       when His spirit left His body).
       4. However, a 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the
       week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.
       5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of
       those mentioned above who try to explain the lack of a 3rd night
       by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of
       speech/colloquial language.
       6. I'm simply curious if anyone who may fall in the above group
       of believers might provide examples to support the belief of
       commonality; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was
       forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a
       daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred.

       OK, no problem.  Someone new looking in may know of examples.

       And that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the
       crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day
       of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the
       earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the
       lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was employing
       common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period.

       No?
       How about this?  'The stomach of the earth'...?  It's the same
       word in Hebrew....  The three days and three nights that Jonah
       was in the belly, or stomach, or "heart" of the fish.  And this
       'place' that Jonah found himself, he calls "Sheol"  -in other
       words, there is 'an-other' word to express the same concept.
       Heart, belly, stomach, Sheol, underworld, place of death, even
       womb.... or grave, or tomb.... you pick.
       And we know that Jesus was talking about the same thing because
       he explicitly states he's talking about the very same thing...
       (Matt 12)
       --for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY
       OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and
       three nights in the heart of the earth.
       I don't think it's so much a matter of timing, as much as it is
       about location, location, location.  Hosea 6 prophesied that the
       people would be revived after two days.... on the third day.
       It could be as simple a comparison as if we were telling a story
       and said something like "a few days later"  or "sometime later"
       - as opposed to a specific time such as if you were to say-
       "later that same day" or "the very next day."
       Why do you ask?  What significance do you apportion to this?

       Mr E,
       re:  "No?"
       I don't understand.  What are you asking?
       
       re:  "Heart, belly, stomach, Sheol, underworld, place of death,
       even womb.... or grave, or tomb.... you pick."
       The OP does that.  This topic is directed to those who believe
       that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the
       earliest to the moment when His spirit left His body.
       re:  "Why do you ask?"
       Simply curious.

       It's interesting if you really want to dive into it.  The Jewish
       day (yom) is of course 24 "hours" long.  12 hours for the day
       and 12 hours for the night.
       Secondly, as seasons change for example-- as the days become
       shorter in the winter and the nights longer... they account for
       this by making the "hours" shorter or longer as well.  In San
       Diego, last week the first day of summer on the 21st we had 14
       hours, 17 minutes of sunshine.  Who cares?  The Jews would
       simply make the hours longer so that there were exactly 12 hours
       in that day and not 14+...  Similarly that night there was only
       9 hours, 43 minutes of darkness... wouldn't matter to the Jews-
       they would quicken the pace and shorten those hours so that
       there was exactly 12.
       When scripture speaks of 'the sixth hour" (when Jesus was
       crucified) they are always speaking of half way through the
       day-- noon, or conversely half-way through the night or
       'mid-night'.
       This is much more of an exact way of speaking than what you are
       asking about concerning "three days"  which would be more like
       me referencing something I did "last weekend."  I can say
       "weekend" without specifying if I meant 'what I did on Saturday'
       or 'what I did on Saturday and/or Sunday' or even 'what I did
       after work on Friday until Monday'  -- and maybe it was a "long
       weekend...."  Was it?  I didn't say.  So too with the phrase
       "three days."
       Does that help?

       Mr E,
       re:  "Does that help?"
       Well since none of your comments provide examples which show
       that it was common to forecast or say that a daytime or a night
       time would be involved with an event when no part of a daytime
       or no part of a night time could occur, then I'm afraid that it
       doesn't.
