   You are trying to establish a doctrine based upon a narrow and   
   false understanding of Matthew 12:40.   
      
   "For as Jonas was 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."              ~ Matthew 12:40.   
      
   The term, "heart of the earth" as used here is a, "figure of speech"   
   which is a non-literal literary device. But you are trying to force   
   a literal interpretation out of it, which is out of harmony with the   
   rest of the Bible, and the words of Jesus.   
      
   > So how does that verse support what you are trying to say.?   
      
   Jesus did not descend down to the center of the planet. But   
   He was in the control of the dark forces of this realm from   
   that time [Thursday night] until He was resurrected on   
   Sunday morning.

   > That event has everything to do with Life Eternal, yet what you claim   
   > appears to deny the prophecy that Jesus spoke.   
      
   What Jesus said was true, but your narrow interpretation of what He said   
   was false. You falsely interpret what He said, and ignore the context that   
   He gave to it in the rest of the Gospels.   
      
   Here is some biblical context on the issue. The following texts are   
   all the words of Jesus, and they all say that He was to be raised on,   
   "THE THIRD DAY"...which was Sunday morning. (Luke 24:21)   
      
   " From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples,   
    how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things   
    of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and   
     be raised again the third day."           Matthew 16:21   
      
   "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be   
    betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they   
   shall condemn him to death,  And shall deliver him to the   
   Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and   
    the third day he shall rise again."         Matthew 20:18.19   
      
   "For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of   
   man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him;   
   and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day." Mark 9:31   
      
   "He took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things   
    should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem;   
    and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and   
    unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall   
    deliver him to the Gentiles:And they shall mock him, and shall   
    scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the   
    third day he shall rise again."   
                                           Mark 10:32-34   
      
   "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the   
    elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised   
    the third day."               Luke 9:22 .   
      
   "For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked,   
    and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:And they shall scourge   
    him and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again."   
                                         Luke 18:32   
      
   The "third day" was Sunday morning.  ~ Luke 24:21   
      
   According to the Bible, Jesus was arrested on Thursday,   
   crucified on Friday, and was resurrected on Sunday.   
      
   Those who love Jesus are extremely thankful for all that   
   He went through for us.
