Friday is not Saturday or Sunday.
But Friday is the day He died. So a portion of Friday counts as the first day.
All day Saturday...counts as one whole Day.
Then a very small portion of Sunday morning...so that counts as the third day.
And that's how the Jews counted things.
That's highly specific and accurate prophecy.
Think again JohnDB...LOL
In the Jewish tradition it is customary to count the day from the onset of night (i.e., the visibility of three stars in the sky) until after the sunset of the following day. Thus the halakhic ruling: Ha/ailah nimshakh abarei hayom, the night follows (i.e., is part of) the day which comes after it. This method of counting was based upon the language of the Bible in the creation story (Gen. 1) where it says several times "and it was evening, and it was morning, the first (second, third, etc.) day." Because of the language of the Bible, in which the evening is antecedent to the morning, it was reasoned that in the counting of the unit "day," the evening is reckoned to belong to the day which comes after it.
