Question 9
Did Jesus ever use symbols when he spoke?
Bible
Luke 13:32
"Go tell that fox, Behold I cast out devils and do cures today, tomorrow, and the third day I will be perfected."
Answer
Jesus used the day-year principle here. When some Pharisees came to warn Jesus that King Herod would kill him, Jesus said to tell Herod that he would continue doing miracles today, tomorrow, and the third day He would be perfected, or killed by offering himself as a sacrifice. Jesus said this not 3 days but 3 years before he died on the cross.
