: : Firstly, there is no 'monday' resurrection. He rose the third day according to the scriptures. Do you understand the difference? Do you know what Paul meant when he wrote it? It means what it says and you must consult ALL the scriptures that refer to 'the third day' and see how they fit together as the Holy Spirit reveals them, which understanding by the way will not confuse a Jew because the only scriptures available when Paul wrote 1 Cor. 15:4 was the Old Testament.
: I guess you kinda lost me there. I don't question Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 15:4. I thought you were proposing a Monday resurrection.
: That is really the only thing that I don't yet grasp I guess. Other than that I fully agree with everything you said in your post! I even re-read it prior to posting this to make sure and I can find no area or point of disagreement at all.
: Now, I am not saying that I disagree with you on the resurrection part either! Just that you lost me somewhere there.

Brother Kevin,
Please go to the archives between March 1 and March 17 and look up the thread The Third Day and read and reread if necessary
I will be happy to address any questions after that. The heart of the matter is The Third according to the scriptures is, and only can be, referring to the third day of the week. This is the only scenario that confirms a Sixth day crucifixion with 'after three days' and 'the third day'. It is impossible that Yeshua rose on the shabbat because his flesh would have been resting in the grave in accordance with the commandment. It is also the only explanation that is prophesied throughout the entire Tanach. Rather than just me telling you this, you go through the Tanach and every where you find a phrase such as 'All flesh is grass' make a note that the first occurrence of this kind is found in Beireshit 1:9-13. Also in the N.T. Peter's vision in Acts 10-11 shows that the creatures that were in the sheet that was let down from heaven three times, were created on the fifth and sixth days of creation and Man is noticeably missing among them. Does man divide the hoof and chew the cud? No, and yet by this vision Peter knew at the onset of the fourth and fifth millenia that what YHWH has cleansed is not to be called common. Peter subsequently communicates to us in 2 Peter 3:8 "But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day with YHWH Aas a thousand years, ad a thousand years as oe day." Peter knew that with three thousand years remaining on the prophetic clock before all things would be fulfilled, that the gospel was to go forth to all nations according to what he had witnessed in the vision. Supporting scripture is found in Hosea 6:2 After two days he will revive us; on THE THIRD DAY he will raise us up that we may live in his sight. The story of the timing of Mashiach's passion is integrally entwined with the story of the resurrection of the dead. Any defense of a postion that does not integrate the whole truth about the resurrection of the dead with Yeshua's death-burial-ressurection is incomplete at best, and all too often fraught with error that the rest of scripture is able to expose when spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 2:15 He that is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is (correctly) judged of no (natural) man. Shalom in Yeshua, Yacov Seedeater
