Matthew 12:40 Using Common Idiomatic Language?


 

Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is discussed with 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection folks, some of them say that it is using common Jewish idiomatic language to explain the missing night time. I wonder if anyone knows of any examples which forecast a daytime or a night time being involved with an event when no part of the daytime or no part of the night time could have taken place. If it is using common idiomatic language, there ought to be examples of that usage in order to be able to say that it was common.

Why would you say there is a missing night time? Luke 23:44-45 - And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.


God added a night time event at the very beginning.

Upon a rereading of your post, I get the impression that you are looking for examples of this specific type of idiom.

Jonah 4:10 - depicts two nights without a corresponding day.

A good source for the study of time in the Bible is The concept of time in the Bible and the Dead Sea scrolls by Gershon Brin. You can find this book in many libraries.

Paster Rick,
re: "Jonah 4:10 - depicts two nights without a corresponding day."

I'm afraid I don't understand. It appears that the Jonah account involved 3 calendar days and 3 daytimes and 2 night times. But I don't see where is says a daytime would be involved when no part of a daytime could have occurred or where it says that a night time would be involved when no part of a night time could have occurred.

I should have addressed the topic to those who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.

Re:


Perhaps a further wording of the OP may make it more clear:

1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth"

2. There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.

3. Of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.

4. A 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.

5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, some of those mentioned above say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language.

6. I wonder if anyone who falls in that group of believers could provide examples to support that belief; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime and/or no part of the night time could have occurred.
