When one reads the bible it is absolutely amazing how often God is telling us what will happen. In the Jubilee there’s going to be a giant “I told you so!”

“On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.  Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.  Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently.  As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.” Exodus 19:16-19

The morning of the third day will be the ultimate Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This is about 2,500 years after Jesus triumphed at the cross. We take a day as a thousand years. Hebrew days start with evening, then morning.

“Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
    but he will heal us;
he has injured us
    but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days [2,000 years] he will revive us;
    on the third day [2,000-3,000 years] he will restore us,
    that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the Lord;
    let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
    he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
    like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3

After two days he will revive us – that’s the resurrection! On the third day he will restore us – eternal life will be possible!
