Question

Brother Branham, in Matthew 12:40, it says, “As Jonas was in—three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” How can it be that day that they say…today that they say He was put in the tomb on Friday evening and rose Sunday morning, making it only two nights and one day?

Question

What did David foresee when he said God would not suffer His Holy One to see corruption?

Answer

I think of David, when he was getting old. Being a great king that he was, God had swore to him, according to the fruits of his loins he would raise up Christ to sit on His right hand. Then I see David, when he was old, getting down to the end of his road, and all the physical strength was just abou...
