It's very likely that many have tried some formula or another to arrive at the exact year and day etc, but to no avail, and the same goes for Jesus' birth. Also, there were two Sabbaths that week. Some appear to assume it is the weekly Sabbath being spoken of in terms of Jesus' death and removal from the cross, but that seems erroneous to me.
There is even controversy over whether or not the last supper was a Seder/Passover meal.It appears to me that is the general assumption, yes, however, Jesus directed his disciples to 'go prepare the passover' (in the context of the evening?) which is traditionally done, before the actual sabbath as there is to be no preparation during, and so that 'day' was the same day that preparation was permissible
Is that a Wednesday crucifixion?count beginning on the passover (sabbath), (thursday) 1night and (friday) 1day...and weekly sabbath (friday) 2night and (saturday) 2day, and another (saturday) 3night and sunday (3day)...
This is a bit difficult to follow since it is unclear whether the observance of aviv 15 beginning at 14 is correctly indicated...I would move it.up a day, otherwise, there appears to be and 'night that is indicated as a day'?![]()
Possible timeline of crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.
thursday, and beginning count that nightIs that a Wednesday crucifixion?
It does get confusing with different timelines being given in the various gospels, i.e., some with day starting at evening, and things like "the sixth hour" meaning different things, depending on whether it was Roman time or Jewish time being referenced. As to whether or not it was the Passover meal?This is a bit difficult to follow since it is unclear whether the observance of aviv 15 beginning at 14 is correctly indicated...I would move it up a day, otherwise, there appears to be and 'night that is indicated as a day'?
The first day of the feast of unleavened bread was the day they had the last supper. He was arrested that nightThere were two Sabbaths that week... Jesus died on Passover, but was removed from the cross
before sunset, which began the High Sabbath, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
The church today says that the Sabbath was cancelled. As proof they tell of Mary’s discovery of the risen Christ on Sunday. It doesn’t make sense that the time of a discovery should change what God tells us He created on the seventh day, or that a time of discovering something establishes when it happened, but that is the way they think.
The Lord gave us a new covenant, one we are told makes the old covenant obsolete. The church tells us that God knew he make a mistake so he cancelled the old covenant. I guess they think that God is like them and they know they make mistakes so they say so does the Lord. As if the Lord was just another human.
The church goes on and on about the mistakes the Lord has made. They say the sacrificial system didn’t work at all for atonement of sin even though scripture tells us it did. When the blood of cattle was used to feed the Lord, like pagans fed idols and not as a symbol of Christ, God hated it so the church tells us it was a mistake of the Lord to establish it.
The church tells us OT scripture can be in error. OT scripture tells us that God guides us to praise and celebrate His plan of salvation for us with feasts for all generations. The church tells us that is an error, that the feasts are to be treated the same way cutting the foreskin is treated.
Scripture tells us to celebrate Christ with Passover, the church says God cancelled that. They made up a new way to do it and named it using pagan gods to inspire them to make up a name for this replacement.
Demons are attracted to the church, undermining it is undermining the Lord. They have done a mighty work, they will still fail in the end.
This is what I believe: "I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them." Isaiah 1:14So what do you believe about the Sabbath? Do you believe Genesis 2:3 is an error or the truth?
Concerning the issue on number of Passovers which could have been, and what Day Jesus may have risen.
Lets look at the passages we have been discussing.
Matt 28 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Mark 16: 16 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
Luke 24: 1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, [a]and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
Only the Luke account can the word translated week (sabbaton - gk) Not be known in context if it is early on Saturday (sabbath day) or early on first of the week (Week of 7 days). The other two accounts clearly state. that the sabbath had been completed first (sabbath day) and it was then on the morning of the 1st of the sabbath (week of 7 days) that they came which could only be trnaslated as Sunday morning (in Mark, the sun had risen)
lets continue, we have two possibilities
1. If the "special sabbath" was on Thursday and he was crucified then, They would have went Sunday morning (after Passover)
2. If He died on Friday, as is generally accepted, Then They still went on Sunday morning. (after Passover)
The way the passage is written, There is no allowance for this to be Saturday morning. Plus we have days of the buried issue (As Jonah was
The Passover had passed, and the next sunrise had begun. This can only be Sunday morning no matter what (unless we pick Friday morning was when she went, which would have been the morning after He died.
This goes with WHY they removed him from the cross to bury before Passover. Because they could not do anything during Passover. He would have to be left there for the day.This is what many of those who say Jesus rose on the sabbath and never want to bring up because it really blows that out of the water.
1. they were jews and they did not go out during Passover
2. women for sure did not go out during Passover unless they were immoral women. BUT as soon as the Passover was done these women were on their way to the tomb. The men (disciples) were hiding and because it was the Passover they were not looked for because most jews were not out running around. I will just leave that right dar,
The bible does say that. it says the Sabbath had passed. when they got to the tomb the rock had rolled away and Don't forget the Roman Guardsthe issue is the 12 hours.
the Sabbatarians say that the women went to the Tomb as the Sabbath ended and the sun was going down, and Christ had risen and gone, so therefore He rose on the Sabbath.
the rest of us say that He rose overnight sat, night, and was gone when the women went to Tomb on the sun. morning.
that is to me, the central issue.
if Jesus died on the 5th day of the week and three days later it would be on the 6th day of the week if you count the 5th day and not 24 hours.This goes with WHY they removed him from the cross to bury before Passover. Because they could not do anything during Passover. He would have to be left there for the day.
The question of was he killed on Thursday or Friday (wed is not possible and thursday allows for three days and three nights) I can see maybe an issue. But what day he rose. I see no argument for any day other than Sunday.
