Crucifixion Was Not on Friday (1968)_b.pdf - Herbert W. Armstrong

EITHER the "Good Friday, Easter Sunday"
tradition is a fable - or you have NO Savior! Jesus gave only
one sign to prove that He was the Messiah! And that sign was
the length of time He would be dead and buried.
<strong>Not</strong>ice Jesus' own words concerning the ONLY SIGN that
would prove His Messiahship:
"An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;
and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet
Jonas: FOR AS JONAS WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN
THE [FISH'S] BELLY; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE
DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH"
(Mat. 12:39-40).
If He did not fulfill that sign, then He was an impostor
and you are without a Savior!

this sign. They say He was in the heart of the earth only one
day and two nights - half as long as He thought He would be!
And in so doing they deny the ONLY PROOF Jesus gave that He is
the Messiah, the Savior of the world.
It <strong>Was</strong> Prophesied!

2:1-2).
The MANY are today denying their Savior by believing a
tradition that rejects the only sign Jesus gave to prove He is
the Messiah!
Did you know that it was not until after the death of the
