I know when the Bible speaks of the ninth hour they are talking about 2P.M?

If 3P.M it the ninth hour the first hour was 6.M in the bible, where in the bible does it say that a day starts at 6 in the morning?

I was always told that when a person dies their soul goes to heaven, if this is true when Jesus returns who will He be raising if their soul is already on heaven?

Update:

I made a mistake I meant to ask if the ninth hour was 3PM?

    The ninth hour is 3 pm, when Jesus expired on the cross, and when his side was pierced by the lance and blood and water gushed forth, it's the hour of Mercy for us and the whole world.

    the 3 hour is 9 am when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the sixth hour is 12 noon when Jesus was nailed to the cross.

    When Jesus return he will raise all bodies of the dead and their souls whether in heaven or hell will be joined to them again.

    The ninth hour in Jewish Tradit ion was 3 o'clock. The audience of those who were writing the bible then knew what time was being referred to, because it was a well known fact of the time. When we go to heaven our souls go to heaven, not our bodies. On the day of the last judgement our bodies are raised from the bed and then our soul joins our body in heaven after we are judged. We are not subject to two judgements (after death and on the last day) if we are in heaven by that time we will not be sent away to hell, BUT everything we have done in our life will be known to all. After this we will be as we were intended to be in heaven, body and soul.

    The bible says that there are 12 hours in the day and 12 hours in the night. In that part of the world, the sun rises at 6 AM and sets around 6 PM.

    If you could buy a book that could foretell the future thousands of years in advance, if you could buy the most popular book ever written, if you could buy a copy of the first book ever written, if you could buy a book that told you how to farm, how to have faith, how to live and not die, how to love and not hate, how to be healed and not be lame, wouldn't that not only be a book worth buying, but worth reading, studying and learning? You could also think of it as a picture album of the Son of God. The thing is if I showed you a picture album of my son and you were disinterested, I would stop showing you the pictures. That is the same way with the Word of God. If you are not interested, God will not show you the pictures of His son. Just getting through The Book to say you read it, will not impress Him. It will not please Him. Looking for His Son will please Him. And He will show you His Son.

    What time zone would that be,exactly? And if the souls of dead people are in heaven, what's the point of raising the dead? I don't get it.
