"if" such a big word...
Is it? There are more people alive today that deny Jesus is Lord than those who accept it.

What if they're wrong?
Because they deny.blame geography and culture for that...
and why did you decide to use the word "deny"?
Because they deny.

it's presumptuous to say "deny" because you have made a judgement a judgment you can not even begin to understand if you are not wearing the shoes of those who cannot for the life of them understand your world view, and because they don't understand they "deny"...Because they deny.
Hezekiah was not arrogant.
I did not say every non-christian alive denys Christ as Lord. But many religions deny that Jesus is Lord as in Acts 2:36.
Even among professed Christians, Matthew chapter 7 shows 'many' are only Christian 'in name only'.
Right. One thing I am aware of is that until I think, the mid 19th century, days began at noon, not midnight. But even so, that wouldn't change the fact that Jesus dieing on a Friday [as the gospels say], and rising on 'the sabbath', would still make '3 days' wrong whether you take the Hebrew sabbath, or the Christian one. .

Indeed.
bzzzzzzzzzt...wrongThe Hebrew days began at Sunset.
Jesus died on Friday afternoon and their Sabbath [Saturday] would began at Sundown.
Friday afternoon was called Preparation because people prepared meals that can not wait until after the Sabbath [Saturday].
That particular Sabbath was not just a regular Sabbath [7th day of the week] but was called a 'double Sabbath' because that particular Sabbath fell on the first day of the 7-day Festival of Unfermented Cakes.
The day after Jesus death on Friday was a Saturday.
Early Sunday morning the tomb is found empty.
Counting his death happening on Friday is part of that one day.
Jesus being dead on Saturday is a whole day dead.
Jesus being resurrected on Sunday is the third day.
do not judge lest ye be judged...
and what did you imply when you said:Isn't God's judgment already recorded in Scripture for all to see ?
Jesus was talking about personal Judgment of another.
[Matthew 7v1; Luke 6v37; John 7v24; Isaiah 11v3; 1st Samuel 16v7]
looks like you're on the right side of gods judgment...go figureEven among professed Christians, Matthew chapter 7 shows 'many' are only Christian 'in name only'.
bzzzzzzzzzt...wrong
matthew 12:40 contradicts this
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
try 2 nights...
...and how long was Jonah [3 days and 3 nights] in the fish's belly ?
Three full days and nights each or just a part of some days ?
Jonah [1v17] does not give exact time details.
Jesus died their Friday. End of Friday would be a night.
Saturday covered both day and night.
Early Sunday morning would still be night because still being dark.
Matthew continues at Matthew [27vs63,64]....after three days I [Jesus] will rise.... The command was that the tomb be made secure: until the third day.
[Friday: day one, Saturday: day two, Sunday: day three or the third day]
Matthew [28v1] In the end or after the Sabbath ended [Saturday]
as it began to dawn toward the first day of their week would be Sunday.
Mark also mentions [16v2] very early in the morning [dawn]
of the first day [Sunday].
Luke [23 vs54-56; 24v1] mentions the women rested on the Sabbath until the first day [Sunday] very early in the morning.....
John [19v14] Friday preparation.....and about the 6th hour
Verses 31,43 that Sabbath was a high day [Great Sabbath]- Lev 23 vs4-8]
John [20v1] first day [Sunday] early while yet dark......[night]
