**What we know for certain?**\- Jesus rose on Sunday early morning.
Michael Brown says it really doesn’t matter. We know it happened and can trust it did. Therefore, spending a bunch of time to figure it out is great but not necessary.
Possibility-
**_FRIDAY_**\-
**Possible Jewish way of looking at it**:
Jewish mindset- day starts at sundown.
Thursday night started Friday- Died on Friday- day 1
Friday night through Saturday at sundown- day 2
Sundown Saturday night- starts day three.
HOW?- Jesus says that just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for 3 days and three nights... He will be dead too. (This was an _idiom_ that was used in Jewish culture. Kind of like people saying they have been working night and day to symbolize they have been working hard. Jesus was simply saying He is going to go away through difficulty but come back again.)
Supporters- Frank Turek, William Lane Craig,
**_THURSDAY_**\-
Crucified on Thursday.
Friday- Special sabbath because of Passover and first day of the month.
Saturday- usual sabbath.
Sunday- resurrection.
While Dead-
Traditional View-
When Jesus died, He descended into paradise to take out those who were in “Abraham’s Bosom.”
He first had to purify the things in Heaven.
HELL (Sheol)-
Paradise (rest) | \_\_\_\_\_-gulf-\_\_\_\_\_ | Hades (torment)
Norman Geisler-
Says that the Apostle’s Creed did not initially have “descended into Hell.” It was added in 4th century.
He says Jesus went immediately to Heaven.
“Heart of the Earth” means inside a tomb to him.
