Sabbath or Sunday Resurrection? – Pt 1
Many present-day followers of Yahweh believe that Yahushua the Messiah was resurrected on the seventh-day Sabbath. For them, the idea of the Messiah being resurrected on the first day of the week (Sunday), which coincides with the Christian holiday of Easter, is too offensive to entertain.
Is it actually possible to determine the exact day of the week when Yahushua the Messiah was resurrected? After thoroughly considering all the evidence, this study will demonstrate that we can indeed ascertain the actual day of Yahushua’s resurrection.
Jonah
Yahushua tells the scribes and Pharisees that the only sign of his Messiahship that would be given to an evil and adulterous generation is “the sign of Jonah the prophet.”
For even as the prophet Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so will the son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. (Matthew 12:38-40; see Luke 11:29-30)
