- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Does a day always mean a day?
- 00:18
- That's the question that we're gonna look at here. And we have to ask, does the word day always refer to a literal 24 -hour day?
- 00:29
- We've been looking this week at the death of Jesus Christ. Did he die on Wednesday? Thursday or Friday?
- 00:36
- Some people get questioned this because they say that a day must be a literal 24 -hour day.
- 00:44
- And if that's the case, then what we're addressing is the fact that a day doesn't fit with Christ being crucified on Friday and being risen on Sunday.
- 00:58
- That's not three 24 -hour days. That's less than that. But a day doesn't always have to mean a full 24 -hour day.
- 01:08
- A day can mean any part of the day. So the way we reckon a day in Judaism is by looking at the time, so basically the days, and we're gonna see this tomorrow, that a day doesn't start at midnight.
- 01:24
- But Jesus Christ would have been crucified and in the ground on Friday, part of Friday, all day
- 01:32
- Saturday, and part of Sunday. Now you may say, but wait a minute, that's not really the case because he wasn't in for those full days.
- 01:43
- We're gonna look at how a day is actually rectified in Judaism, because it's different than the way we count a day in our day and age.
