God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas and God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear” and it was so. ![]() So let’s take a look at a few Hebrew passages where the phrase “on the third day” occurs, starting with the third day of creation: This was the first recorded miracle of Yeshua it took place “on the third day”, and it was the beginning of a long string of miracles which culminated in the greatest miracle of all: Yeshua rising from dead… on the third day… full circle! Rising up and Giving Life When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.”Īlthough He gives His mother a hard time about it, He does go on to preform the miracle of turning water into wine. On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. If we look at Yeshua’s ministry, one of the earliest mentions of the phrase ( “on the third day”) can be found in His first miracle: So tracing a phrase such as “on the third day” helps us to see what the Bible, as a whole, was trying to say. The prophets did this a lot in their writing, usually linking back to passages in the Torah to make their point. It’s a way of seeing the interconnectedness of Scripture. The author was using these words to link different passages together. When specific words or phrases appear in the Biblical narrative they are often connected. I don’t have the time to address this question to the fullest, so for your own studies here is a list of each time the phrase “on the third day” shows up in the Tanakh:Īs we can see, the term “on the third day” has a significant footprint in the scriptures… showing up at least 26 times (if I counted correctly)! These are what Dr. I think this question needs months of in depth study… something beyond what I can do in a week. Why rise on the third day? Why not come off the cross and immediately rise? Or why not wait a week? A month? A year? And why mention what day it was at all? Is there something significant about the third day? ![]() Yeshua would just be a celebrated prophet, a wise man, a philanthropist monk, a Jewish rabbi who said strange and confusing things, a social rebel, and a convicted loser.Īs a believer in Yeshua I have an overwhelming curiosity about this resurrection event. Without rising out of the grave and defeating death, YHWH’s plan of Salvation would remain unfulfilled. Without this miracle, there would be no divinity of the Messiah. If you identify as a Christian, or as a Messianic Jew, then there is one thing on which your belief rests: Jesus, or (in Hebrew) Yeshua, died and on the third day He rose again. I don’t like to make exceptions, but I think this phrase warrants great consideration.
