And this Jesus is just too wonderful that I find
wonders in His words. Ok. Here is the problem:
Luke 24:46
" and [Jesus] said to them, "Thus it is written ,
that the Christ should suffer and on the third day
rise from the dead"
And... The inspired Apostle Paul
1 st Corinthians 15:4
" that he [Jesus] was buried, that he was raise on
the third day in accordance with the scriptures "
Jesus and Paul allededly declear that it is written
in the scriptures/Old Testament that the Christ
would die and be raised from the dead on the
third day . Just where can I find this in the Old
Testament?
That's the problem. Thanks

Freksy:

Scripture talks about Jesus' suffering, death and subsequent resurrection in many places, prophetic terms and sign(s). Prominent among these, and in connection to your concern is "the sign of Jonah".

Jonah's three days/nights stay in the belly of the big fish was a message about Christ death and subsequent resurrection (after three days) given in "sign". Fittingly, this significant message was later made known by the very man, Jesus, in his answer to the scribes and Pharisees.


38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

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 Jonas:

40 For as Jonas 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.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. Matt. 12:38-41

Smallville10: READ ISAIAH 9

udatso:
I have read the chapter an d I çant find a place where
("and [Jesus] said to them, "Thus it is
written ,
that the Christ should suffer and on the
third day
rise from the dead"" or where
( " that he [Jesus] was buried, that he was
raise on
the third day in accordance with the
scriptures " is written. Maybe I. Must have missed it. Could you please point out the verse

Smallville10: daniel 9v24, micah 7v20, mal 3v1

MightySparrow:
Paul was not talking about no of days in the graves but the fact that Jesus was going to be killed as sacrifice for sin. The Bible did not actually say that He was going to be hanged on a cross. In fact, if any one would think of His death as sacrifice, it was reasonable to be offered on an altar. Galatian 3: 13 - 14 was interpreted by Paul by quoting Deuteronomy to infer that man's curse fell on Jesus by the kind of death He died.
Having said that, Jesus said, the Jonah's experience was equivalent to a prophecy. This He called a 'sign'. What is a sign?
An occurrence that validates a 'call' A seal of divine backing.
Certain things of sort like these are fulfilled in then earthly ministry of Jesus that are taken for prophecy.
In theological circle, they are called types and anti - types.
A type is an occurrence that happens in OT or a personality that manifested that acted as what the ministry of Jesus stands for.
Shiloh for instance refers to a person in Genesis 49:10; a place in first Samuel 3: 21, and understood to be Jesus in NT.


I hope your question is answered.
