Comparison of Impalement-Resurrection Scenarios

Wednesday Impalement (Crucifixion) - Sabbath Resurrection

Day: Biblical	Day 4 Day	Day 5 Night	Day 5 Day	Day 6 Night	Day 6 Day	Sabbath Night	Sabbath Day	Day 1 Night	Day 1 Day	RESULT and Conclusion
Wednesday Impalement- Sabbath Resurrection Sign of Jonah 3 days & 3 nights	Preparation: Jeshua dies at 3PM, sealed in tomb as dusk begins, so this day Jeshua is not sealed in the heart of the earth.	Unleavened Bread: Great Sabbath First night in the heart of the earth.	Unleavened Bread: Great Sabbath First day in the heart of the earth.	Second night in the heart of the earth.	Second day in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath Third night in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath and is resur- rected as the Sabbath ends. Third day in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua is already out of the tomb, having spent exactly three nights and days in the Heart of the earth.	Jeshua is already resurrected when His disciples arrive before dawn. He is seen later this day.	Jeshua perfectly fulfills the Sign of Jonah, spending exactly 3 nights and 3 days in the heart of the earth (Mt 12:40). Lord Jeshua is our Saviour.
Hours Dead	3	12	12	12	12	12	11.99			74.99 Hours Rose After Three Days.
Hours in Tomb	.01	12	12	12	12	12	11.99			72 hours 3 nights/3 days fulfilled. Rose on third day.

This Table shows how Jeshua fulfilled all of the time-related constraints involved in His Impalement and Resurrection. They are threefold: Jeshua must rise from the dead on the third day/in three days (Matthew 20:17-19, Mark 10:34, Luke 24:46); He must spend three full days and nights in the tomb (the Heart of the Earth -Matthew 12:38-40) and He must rise after three days (Matthew 27:63).

If Jeshua was impaled, killed and placed in the tomb at the end of Wednesday afternoon and was resurrected at the end of the Sabbath day, He has thus been raised from the dead on the third day, which was the Sabbath. Likewise, as the Sign of Jonah specifies the time in the tomb, the above scenario precisely fulfills the Three Days and Three Nights. And as the passage in Matthew 27:63 only refers to the time that Jeshua will be dead, that runs from 3 PM Wednesday to near 6 PM on the Sabbath. This is more than 72 hours, so He also rose after three days. All three constraints have been fulfilled, confirming Jeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah and Son of God.

Thursday Impalement (Crucifixion) - Sunday Resurrection

Day: Roman	Wednesday Daylight	Wed/Thurs Night	Thursday Daylight	Thurs/Fri Night	Friday Daylight	Fri/Sat Night	Saturday Daylight	Sat/Sun Night	Sunday Daylight	RESULT and Conclusion
Day: Bible	Day 4 Day	Day 5 Night	Day 5 Day	Day 6 Night	Day 6 Day	Sabbath Night	Sabbath Day	Day 1 Night	Day 1 Day	RESULT and Conclusion
Thursday Impalement- Sunday Resurrection Sign of Jonah 3 days & 3 nights			Jeshua dies at 3PM, sealed in tomb as dusk begins, so this day Jeshua is barely in the heart of the earth.	Unleavened Bread High Sabbath: First night in the heart of the earth.	Unleavened Bread High Sabbath: First day in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath Second night in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath Second day in the heart of the earth.	Night not completed as Jeshua is resurrected before dawn. Third night in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua is already resurrected when disciples arrive before dawn, so this day Jeshua is not in the heart of the earth. Jeshua is seen later this day.	Jeshua fails to fulfill the Sign of Jonah, spending less than 3 nights and only two days in the heart of the earth. Jeshua is an impostor or Thursday impalement is wrong.
Hours Dead			3	12	12	12	12	11		62 hours After three days NOT fulfilled.
Hours in Tomb			.01	12	12	12	12	11		59.01 Hours 3 nights/3days NOT fulfilled. On third day NOT fulfilled.

With the same threefold constraints as in the Wednesday-Sabbath Table, it can be seen that even if part-days are accepted as if they were whole days, Jeshua was still raised before the third day began. He could not fulfill the full three days and nights required for the Sign of Jonah, as He would only spend about 59 hours in the tomb, not the entire 72 hours. Likewise He could not fulfill the requirement to be raised after three days, as at most He was only dead for 62 hours. The Thursday Impalement scenario fails all three of the criteria the Scriptures place on these events.

This confirms that Jeshua (Jesus) was NOT impaled on a Thursday.

Friday Impalement (Crucifixion) - Sunday Resurrection

Day: Roman	Wednesday Daylight	Wed/Thurs Night	Thursday Daylight	Thurs/Fri Night	Friday Daylight	Fri/Sat Night	Saturday Daylight	Sat/Sun Night	Sunday Daylight	RESULT and Conclusion
Day: Bible	Day 4 Day	Day 5 Night	Day 5 Day	Day 6 Night	Day 6 Day	Sabbath Night	Sabbath Day	Day 1 Night	Day 1 Day	RESULT and Conclusion
Friday Impalement- Sunday Resurrection Sign of Jonah 3 days & 3 nights					Jeshua dies at 3PM, sealed in tomb as dusk begins, so this day Jeshua is barely in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath First night in the heart of the earth.	Jeshua rests on the Sabbath First day in the heart of the earth.	Night not completed as Jeshua is resurrected before dawn. Second night in the heart of the earth,	Jeshua is already resurrected when disciples arrive before dawn, so this day Jeshua is not in the heart of the earth. Jeshua is seen later this day.	Jeshua fails to fulfill the Sign of Jonah, spending only most of 2 nights and one day in the heart of the earth. Jeshua is an impostor or Friday Impalement is wrong.
Hours Dead					3	12	12	11		38 Hours After 3 days NOT fulfilled.
Hours in Tomb					.01	12	12	11		35.01 Hours 3 nights/3 days NOT fulfilled On third day NOT fulfilled.

With the same threefold constraints as in the Wednesday-Sabbath Table, it is obvious that Jeshua was raised before the second day dawned, let alone on the third day. This constraint was not met. Moreover, He could not fulfill the full three days and three nights required for the Sign of Jonah, as He would only spend about 35 hours in the tomb, less than half of the entire 72 hours. Likewise He could not fulfill the requirement to be raised after three days, as at most He was only dead for 38 hours. The “Good Friday Impalement/Crucifixion- Easter Sunday Resurrection” scenario fails all three of the criteria the Scriptures place on these events.

This confirms that Jeshua (Jesus) was NOT impaled on a Friday.
