YaHUsha was in the ground for 3 full nights an 3 full days. It is the Sign of Jonah that He taught them about.
Matt. 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Matt. 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Matt. 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matt. 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
A day does not start at midnight the previous night. But a day also does NOT start the PREVIOUS day at sundown as the First Century Jews believed and is stated in this table unfortunately. That was picked up in Babylon, and Gen. 1:5 is wrongly applied since then. It is day when it is light, please see: A SCRIPTURAL DAY.
The sun and moon and stars were only made on the fourth day and they are for signs and for seasons, days and years.
Gen. 1:14 And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Gen. 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen. 1:16 And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Gen. 1:17 And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen. 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohim saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And there was evening and there was morning – the fourth day.
“It was evening. And it was morning, the fourth day.”
Punctuation was added into Scripture later on.
YaHUsha said in John 11:9: “Are there not twelve hours in the day?”
It is day when it is light (for twelve hours), and it is night when it is dark and the stars start to appear (the night is also for twelve hours), see Calendar Restoration.
