What is the “Third Day” Reference of Luke 24:21 All About?

 

 

Abstract:

Is the reference in this passage pointing to the Third Day of the week, or is this passage expressing a disappointment in regards to a misapplication of the third day on the part of the ones on their way to Emmaus? My first impression was that the latter option is true, but upon further careful consideration of the Greek words, I believe a proper English translation of this passage is as follows:

Luke 24:21 TLT  And we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: But quite the opposite happened. And notice, to top all of that off, this is already (the first portion of) the Third Day of the week after which time these things came to pass [i.e. “the things,” the events, of the prior seven day week.]

Luke 24:21 KJV  But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

 

What “these things…?” And when exactly? More…

. . . . . . .

In pursuing the best available translation of this text I was blessed with an experience that gives me a sense of being guided directly by God, the Lord of Hosts, the Author of the Word of God, and a sense of understanding, by my own real life experience, how He went about guiding the hands and the minds of each of the authors of the Holy Scriptures. As follows:

After having collected and compared my prior work upon this Bible passage, while doing also some other chores of daily life, I spend most of yesterday, 5925[(*??*)] 10 01&02 2029 [2013-01-14], considering and wrestling with what might be the more ultimate English translation of this passage.

After finally having been led to the above solution, as usual, I sat down for my evening worship time with prayer and by opening my KJV Bible as the Lord of Hosts would have me open it, that is, seemingly, but not really, at random…

To my amazement the passage that my Bible fell open to was the very passage within which Luke 24:21 is part. So, as usual, I read, for my devotional, that entire story. In so doing, I felt blessed by discovering two additional items (here and here) adding clarity and light, and which I had not been aware of before, to the record of the events behind this chapter of Luke, and to the corresponding chronology. And, in addition, I found yet another verse, Luke 24:46, to include in my TLT version of the Holy Scriptures.

But, then again, this kind of leadership by the Holy Spirit is certainly not a first for me during the years and decades I have been spending towards studying and learning more re the time dimension as reckoned by the Creator Himself, the King of the Universe…

Praise the Lord of Hosts, the Author of the Holy Scriptures!
