It's easier to read things you've experienced like fair weather preceded
by a red sky. When you're immersed in the times, you have a hard time
seeing the forest for the trees.

Even if Jesus had lived as recorded, he didn't fulfill the sign of
jonah. Namely, if the gospel account were accurate, Jesus went into the
grave late Friday, was there all day Saturday, and rose early Sunday. At
best, that's a day and a half.

You are incorrect. The Roman catholic church misinterpreted the scriptures
and had Jesus crucified on a Friday when in reality it was a Wednesday. It
was the sabbath of the passover feast, and not the sabbath of the end of
the
week like they thought.

Some Pharisees and teachers of the law said to Jesus, "Teacher,
we want to see a miraculous sign from you." He answered,
"A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign!
But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a
huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth ..." Matt.12:39.

If Jesus was laid in the grave at the sunset on the Friday and him
risen at the sunrise on the Sunday, it is only one day and two nights,
or 36 hours. But Jesus said three days and three nights, it is 72
hours. If we count 72 hours back from the sunrise on the Sunday,
then we come to the sunrise on the Thursday. This is neither right,
for in Matt. 27:57-60 and in Mark. 15:42 we see that the body of
Jesus was laid in the grave at the sunset.

We must still count 12 hours back, and we come to Wednesday
sunset. Could it have possibly been on a Wednesday that Jesus was
crucified? Yet, according to Mark. 15:42, it was the day before the
Sabbath. Could the Thursday have been a Sabbath? Yes, Thursday
was a Sabbath!

This is the very fact that has confused people. A fact that has
completely been overlooked because Christians have lost sight of
the meaning of the sacred feast days and what they really typified.
This Sabbath holds the key to the whole mystery!

We can read in John 19:31 that the Sabbath was a High day.
This, the annual Sabbath, they always celebrated on the 15th day
of the Jewish month of Abib (Nisan), irrespective of which day of
the week this occurred. It had nothing to do with the creation
Sabbath which is a weekly Sabbath. It could be two Sabbath days
on the same week. The Passover day they celebrated the 14th Abib,
and next day was a Sabbath. You can read this in Exodus 12:1-14.
Leviticus 23:5. Numbers 9:1-5, 28:16-18. Deuteronomy 16:1.

This Sabbath was instituted at the first Passover in Egypt. It was seven
Sabbaths that they celebrated once in the year (Leviticus 23:15, 24, 27,
34 and 39), which could occur on any day of the week.

The Passover lamb would be slaughtered on the 14th day, at the sunset
of the Passover day. "And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of
the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel
shall kill it in the evening." "And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins
girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall
eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover." Exodus 12:6, 11.

When God was so strictly that the Passover lamb was slaughtered at the
certain time, then he ought to be still more strictly that the real
Passover
Lamb, Jesus Christ, was sacrificed at the exact time. Jesus was crucified
at the exact time of the year and that is why He IS our Passover Lamb!
If Jesus had been crucified on the Friday, then he had come two days
too later with his sacrifice.

Consider please, the tremendous importance of this SIGN OF JONAH.
Jesus proved that he is the true Messiah through fulfilling the sign of
Jonah. His body was in the grave THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS.
If we count from the sunset on the Wednesday and 72 hours ahead, then
we come to the sunset of Saturday. Then Jesus had fulfilled the sign of
Jonah, and proved that he is the true Messiah. Accordingly, Jesus could
have resurrected already in the Saturday evening. The Bible does not say
what time Jesus resurrected, but early at the sunrise when the women
came to the grave he was risen. Mark. 16:2, Luke 24:1.

Jonah was a "type" of the Saviour to come. After 3 days and 3 nights in
the belly of the fish, he became the 'saviour' of the gentile city,
Nineveh.
By referring to Jonah as a sign, Jesus was pointing out to us that Jonah
was a "type" of the Saviour who would come for the whole world. If the
Jews took the trouble to look up the scriptural reference, then they would
have believed Jesus to be the Saviour, the promised Messiah. If you study
the Bible careful, you cannot deny that Jesus was in the grave all the 72
hours he had foretold.

Learned theologians and church leaders do not study the Bible. They do
not know what the Bible teaches, for they do not read it, but follow
doctrines and traditions of man. They believe that Jesus was crucified
on a Friday, and Good Friday has been celebrated. Satan exploits this
ignorance, and the celebrating of Good Friday as a memory of the
crucifixion. He uses it as "a proof" that Jesus did not fulfil the sign of
Jonah. "He was in the grave only the half time."

Nowhere in the Bible can we read that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Jesus warns against "making the Word of God of none effect through
your tradition" (Mark 7:13). We shall be guided by the Bible, not by
tradition.

The chief priests and the elders had the courage to invent a lie! For a
large sum of money the soldiers were bribed into saying that the disciples
had stolen His Body from the grave! "The soldiers took the money and
carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among
the
Jews" (Matt. 28:12-15).
