When Jesus came, it was for the purpose of fulfilling a “three-day” journey too.  In Matthew 12:40, Jesus said, “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”  When Jesus went in to the temple in Jerusalem at the beginning of His public ministry, He said, “Destroy this temple, (speaking of the temple of his body) and in three days I will raise it up.”  He did exactly that when He was resurrected on the third day after His crucifixion.
