After finally being able to take more than a few minutes to read over, not only Mr. Gregg's material, but others as well (Dr. David Reagan to mention one), everything seems to line up quite well with a Wednesday evening (Pre-Thursday-First-Day-of-Unleavend-Bread-High-Holy-Day Sabbath) and resurrection on the evening of Sabbath. The sabbaton more often then not means sabbath or sabbath day so I can't see why anyone would take issue with it meaning this in the verses which have been argued over the past week.

We hold our Messiah to the highest standards and if we lax for a moment (which is what has been going on for the last millennium) then it is no wonder that others question His Messiahship. It says 3 day AND 3 nights. Why should we question Jesus....He does what He says and fulfilled the prophecy not by leaving questions but perfectly and without doubt.

Shalom to you all.

Actually....for about the last 1700 years.

Shalom to you....also.

Dr. David Regan's view goes like this:

Fatal problems:

1. The resurrection was in the morning:

KJV Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

2. Luke 24:21 would necessarily take place on Sunday:

KJV Luke 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

But clearly, Sunday can do no better than be the 4th day since these things were done.

Now you will see that this has neither problem:

1. For Luke 24:21 count days since the crucifixion making sabbath day after the resurrection the 3rd day "since" (counting exclusively just like in Dr. Regan's scenario.
