Taken,
re: "I disagreed with your view expressed in your statement, as you determined 'night was 'over" some 8-9 hours before burial".
OK, maybe off by an hour or two, but the point is that the burial was during the daytime before the next calendar's day night began. But you were counting the crucifixion day's night time as one of the three nights that the Messiah said He would be in the "heart of the" of the earth.
Bodies do not go to the "heart of the earth"
(Excepting judgement day, of the unsaved).
And bodies void of a soul, are dead.
Jesus' living soul departed His dead body, when His body was just about to die, and went to the "heart of the earth".
Burial is about the BODY, not the SOUL.
God Bless,
Taken
