The Third Day

[orion77]

Have you all ever thought of the spiritual significance of Jesus being raised on the third day?  There must be a reason for it.  I did a search in e-sword under 'the third day' and it is very interesting all the scriptures that came up.

It's as if to speak of the is, was and will be; or the same yesterday, today and forever. 


(Hos 6:2 LITV)  After two days He will bring us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him.

(Hos 6:3 LITV)  Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.


There are many other scriptures that speak of 'the third day'.  Let me know what you all think.

God bless,

Gen 1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Gen 1:10  And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Christ is the 'firstfruits.'

(CEV) Rev 11:7  After the two witnesses have finished preaching God's message, the beast that lives in the deep pit will come up and fight against them. It will win the battle and kill them.
Rev 11:8  Their bodies will be left lying in the streets of the same great city where their Lord was nailed to a cross. And that city is spiritually like the city of Sodom or the country of Egypt.
Rev 11:9  For three and a half days the people of every nation, tribe, language, and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses and refuse to let them be buried.
Rev 11:10  Everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy. They will give gifts to each other, because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble.
Rev 11:11  But three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies. They will stand up, and everyone who sees them will be terrified.

God will never forsake those who are His. We endure tribulation for a while, then He comes to save.
