Three Days and Three Nights

Sign of Yonah Riddle Solved

(All Four Gospels Compared)

The following interlinear word study includes all four gospel accounts of the time-centric events of our Messiah's prophesied Sign of Yonah riddle of "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (MatithYahu Matthew) 2:39-41.

Several errors have been discovered in the modern translations through this detailed word for word analysis. The new evidence may surprise you as it changes everything, giving us a full tally of both "three days and three nights," in that order, in which our Messiah and Savior was in the tomb. This events of the resurrection identify that the day commences at sunrise. It identifies that the calendar is astroluni-solar. It is illustrated that there is no need to apply a mere metaphoric meaning to "the heart of the earth" being Jerusalem or the persecution occurring there in the days prior to the cross. Rather, in an extraordinary fulfillment of all the time-centric requirements necessary to validate the true Messiah, His marvelous resurrection occurred during the "fourth watch of the night" on the 16th civil calendar date rather than at sunrise or on the "fourth watch of the night" on the 15th. This occurred 1-2 hours prior to sunrise on the 17th, rendering an additional 24 hours to the time sequence. Only in this way was the resurrection able to be harmonized with the events of the Feast of First Fruits and the three days and three nights criteria.

This riddle of "three days and three nights," as given by our Messiah shortly before His crucifixion, was to be a prefigured sign and waymark of truth for His obedient followers, both then and at the end of time. But, for nearly 1,700 years this three day time sequence has been a source of contention among scholars, religious leaders, and laymen alike, as each struggle to appropriate Roman or Jewish artificial time units to define this most monumental preordained time event.

It is only in rightly dividing the time-centric facts as they relate to these "three days and three nights," using the original Greek and not the modern translations, that Yahuah's pragmatic truth and revelation of His original preordained time system is revealed.

2

The astro-luni-solar calendar is the only time piece that qualifies as the Eternal's true and rightly ordained calendar system as it was first shared benevolently with mankind at creation. Later, it was implemented as the foundation for His time-centric rhythms of the earthly Sanctuary System as it was patterned after the one not made by human hands, and fully equipped to accurately harmonize the worship rhythm of earth with those who worship Yahuah in the shamayim (heavens). This system is entirely dependent upon the sun, moon and stars, the time principles that rule in the shamayim, (B'resheet Genesis 1:14). This is where years commence in spring; months begin on the "full" New Moon day; four successive weeks begin the next day. Days are only twelve hours in length from sunrise to sunset, and are followed by the four watches of the night to complete each 24 hour civil calendar date.

1. This study reveals that the Greek word most often translated as "early in the morning" actually means "fourth watch of the night." Thus placing the resurrection on the following civil calendar date 24 hours later than has traditionally been taught.

2. Both the natural day and the civil calendar date commence at sunrise and not at midnight or sunset as the Romans and Yahudim (Jews) have taught. As a result, the daylight precedes the night in a full 24 hour civil calendar date.

Make no mistake, the time elements revealed in these "three days and three nights" synchronize our risen Messiah at the epi-center of time with the Creator of time-- past, present and future. It is this identified time system that will be restored among those who "follow the lamb whether soever he goes" on earth as well as in His continued Kohen ministry above, completing the work of the prophetic fall Feasts, prior to returning as King of Kings.

For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. MatithYahu Matthew 12:40 NKJV

Each gospel will be presented one at a time in their order. Each will begin with the Greek interlinear word study followed by the word for word analysis and the commentary. Please follow along by comparing the New Restored Text in the right column of the table to the Strong's and Thayer's lexicons in the blue columns. The purpose of all this is to accurately answer the age old riddle given by the Messiah himself. The time system that can effectively achieve appropriating "three days and three nights," while staying true to the Greek text and in the defined order of days followed by nights, will be the Creator's true and self-evident calendar.

Part 1 The Fourth Watch of the Night Toward the End of the First Week

MatithYahu 28:1

This interlinear word study in MatithYahu 28:1 demonstrates that Mary and Mary came to the tomb at the end of the 16th of Abib, the first of the week. It has been discovered that "dawn" the period where "it began to grow light" is not the commencement of a calendar date, but rather its termination. According to the weight of evidence a full calendar date commences at precisely sunrise, and is followed by the "darkness of night." While the last "watch" of the night is often called "dawn," according to Scripture it is the fourth watch of the night.

Note: MatithYahu 27:62 in regards to "the next day" following the preparation cannot be any other day than the Seventh-day Sabbath for the very reason that if it had been a regular day, the women would have purchased the spices and embalmed Yahusha at that time.

It is very possible that the last verse of MatithYahu 27:66 actually includes the first 3 words in the verse below. This is what it may actually say:

"So they went and made sure, sealing the stone, and set a watch at the end of the [seventh-day] Sabbath [first day of Feast of Unleavened Bread]."

Then, this would allow the remainder of the verse to refer to first day of the week, saying something like this:

4 "It began to grow light toward the end of the first of the week, then came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the tomb."

Verse by Verse Comparison of Matthew 28:1

New King James Translation

New Restored Interlinear Text

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

It began to grow light [the fourth watch of the night], toward the end of first of the week. Then came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

to see the tomb.

Commentary:

It is my belief that this Sabbath referred to in this verse is the Feast of First Fruits because it states "it began to grow light" "toward the end of the first of the week," Mary came to the tomb. From this verse alone, it is apparent that this took place prior to sunrise, toward the end of the 16th lunar "civil calendar date" of the first of the week and not at the end of the 15th. As a first witness this period of time of "growing light" just prior to sunrise, is synonymous with "dawn" and literally means "fourth watch of the night." Because the night follows the day in a civil calendar date, the "fourth watch of the night" cannot commence the "date" of the 16th, but rather terminates it. "Toward the end of the first of the week," denotes emphatically, as a second witness that this historic event did not occur at the beginning of the 16th civil calendar date, but at its end.

This "first of the week" is clarified as following the Sabbath the 15th. Therefore, this "first of the week" is the 16th civil calendar date, as counted from the New Moon and is synonymous with the Feast day of the

6 First Fruits or Wave Offering. According to this verse Mary went to the tomb "as it began to grow light toward the end of the first of the week. This was not at the commencement of the "day" as modern translations and tradition has held. The four watches were all considered part of the night and not part of the day. Since a full calendar date terminates at the end of the fourth watch of the night, a new day and a new calendar date would therefore commence at sunrise, rather than sunset. Refer to article, "Sunrise or Sunset, When Does a Day Begin?"

So, why does it really matter? It was the Savior, Himself who prophesied that He would be in the tomb three days and three nights. Anything short of arriving at three days and three nights, is a demonstration of not rightly dividing His ordained time, and declares Him an outright liar. On the other hand, arriving at three days that are each followed by three nights in the tomb, and terminates during the fourth watch of the night of the 16th lunar "civil calendar date," receives the stamp of approval for unraveling the riddle of the Savior regarding the Sign of Yonah.

It is in the illustrated time divisions of the resurrection that overt evidence is brought to light that B'resheet Genesis 1:5, defining when the day begins, has been either miss translated, misunderstood, or both. The timing of the events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection simply are not in harmony with a twenty-four hour day commencing at sunset. Refer to article/word study A Day in Genesis.

As a "nail in a sure place" this verse in MatithYahu 28:1 has provided two witnesses that define our Savior, Yahusha, rose from the tomb "toward the end of the first of the week," also called "dawn," the fourth watch of the night of the 16th.

While it is the Greek word proi that is used in each of the other Gospels to describe this same event, epiphosko is used in MatithYahu 28:1. But, below it is seen that indeed the two are synonymous.

The Greek word (epiphosko #2020) is defined as-- to begin to grow light; dawn.

The Greek word (proi #4404) is defined as-- dawn; 1. Proi is the fourth watch of the night.

While Matthew chose different phraseology to describe the same resurrection event, and did not utilize the word proi, his description fully supports what has been found in John 20:1 and Mark 16:2, 9. In this way we have a more complete perspective of the event, just as a GPS would have greater precision in pinpointing a position by operating from three satellites, rather than just two.

Compare this gospel of Matthew to each of the other gospels below.

Make particular notice of the lunar phases in the graphic below, as was testified and recorded in Scripture. For it was the dark moon that occurred on the 14th of Aviv, highlight a fact that the true new moon has always been the full moon. For more on the lunar phase at the crucifixion refer to, The Sun was Darkened from the Sixth to the Ninth Hour.

Part 2 The Resurrection Occurred During the Fourth Watch of the Night on the 16th of Abib

8

Mark 16:1-2 and 9

In this interlinear word study in Mark 16:1-2 and 9, it is demonstrated that the women arrived at the tomb during the fourth watch of the night, on the first of the week, the 16th of Abib. As a second witness with this text, Yahusha the Messiah also rose from the tomb on the first of the week during the same period of time. If He had risen on the night of the 15th, He could not have been the fulfillment of the Feast of First Fruits or Wave Sheaf Offering prophecy. To be the true Messiah, He had to rise during the civil calendar date of the 16th, as counted from the full New Moon. According to the weight of evidence in Scripture, the "daylight" precedes the "night." So, when this or any text references "early in the morning," "dawn," or "while it was yet dim," it is specifically referring to the last portion of night, known as the "Daybreak or Morning Watch."
