Third Day Bible Code

by Kermit Zarley

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE'S LITTLE-KNOWN, CRYPTIC, THIRD-DAY MOTIF MEAN?Why was Jesus raised from the dead "on the third day" instead of some other day? The Third Day Bible Code examines a mysterious "third day" motif that occurred in several of the most important, historical narratives about Israel recorded in the Bible. Kermit Zarley claims these are types that point to Jesus, his resurrection, or his return. For "On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance" where God told him to offer Isaac (Genesis 22.4);God told Moses, "Prepare for the third day because" then "the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai" (Exodus 19.11);Joshua commanded Israel, "Prepare your provisions, for in three days you are to cross over the Jordan" (Joshua 1.11);"On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace" (Esther 5.1);"After two days he will revive us, on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him" (Hosea6.2);"After three days they [Jesus' parents] found him [12-year-old Jesus] in the temple" (Luke 2.46).Zarley applies to this third-day motif the biblical principle "that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day" (2 Peter 3.8; cf. Psalm 90.4). Without predicting the exact time of Jesus' second coming, Zarley concludes these third-day motifs indicate Jesus will return in the early part of the third millennium after his departure, between the years 2070 and 2250. Whether one agrees with this general calculation or not, this unique book will serve as a strong apologetic for Jesus' resurrection as well as strengthen Christians in their faith.
