"In three days"
aktikt:
I just noticed something interesting. Why does Jesus say "I" will raise it up. Isn't it the father Who would have to raise Him? Why does He say I? Hmmm.
Joel:
Here are a couple of scriptures. :)
1 John 5:11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
John 11:25-26
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Hi Antawian,
Here is how the concordant has that verse.
John 10:17 Therefore the Father is loving Me, seeing that I am laying down My soul that I may be getting it again."
v. 18 No one is taking it away from Me, but I am laying it down of Myself. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to get it again. This precept I got from My Father." (CLV)
We have a few Scripture that says who raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Eph 1:20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
1Pe 1:20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
v. 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Acts 17:31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

"Not exactly Heidi, Jesus was not dead for 3 days. Jesus said He would be in the 'heart of the earth' for 3 days."
I was referring to this topic. Jesus was said to be in the heart of the Earth for three day's and He was not necessarily dead for three day's. So I looked at the other verse to see if maybe it say's something like "destroy this temple for three day's and I will raise it up" but it did not.
So I wanted to see what did Jesus mean when he said that "in three day's I will raise it up".
So the question is "Was Jesus dead for three day's"?

Well from the Scriptural accounts Jesus was not dead for three complete days and night, as Ray has explained He was "in the heart of the earth" for that amount of time.
"In the HEART OF THE EARTH" is a parable showing the unbelievable agony of the human spirit and flesh that Jesus would go through LEADING UP TO and INCLUDING the time in the tomb. And those three days began on the PREPARATION FOR THE PASSOVER (John 19:14), seeing that Jesus, HIMSELF, was to BE THE PASSOVER!!!
And don't forget the AGONY IN THE GARDEN when Jesus SWEAT BLOOD!! No one will ever know what torture He endured those "three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH." BEFORE the beatings and crucifixion we read this:
"NOW is My SOUL TROUBLED [Greek: DISTRESSED, IN TURMOIL!]; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for his cause came I unto THIS HOUR" (John 23:27).
The "heart of the earth" is the very DEPTH OF THE FLESH.

So the "sign of Jonah" was what He gave to the scribes and Pharisees.
Mat 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."
v. 39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
v. 40 For as Jonah 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.
Now concerning the verse in John 2.
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Could it be that what Jesus said in John 2 is a different parable of the same event? That Christ said when His body was destroyed, then in three days or the third day He would be raised, as we have many Scripture that state it was the 'third' day.
Third \"th€rd\ adj : next after the second. 2 : n. one that is number three in a countable series. (Merriam-Webster's)
Mat 17:23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.
Mat 20:19 and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."
Mat 16:21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Mark 9:31 For He taught His disciples and said to them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day."
Acts 10:40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,
1Co 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
v. 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
Luke 24:46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
Well this may seem too far fetched, but it is something that occured to me and thought I would bring it to the discussion.
