I have a little booklet someone gave me many years ago, with that title. It explains the significance of the Jewish style of weddings back in BIble times. It explained how this makes a good picture of how people need to be ready for Christ, at His return in order to not be sadly surprised at...

Yes, it was wrong for him to marry 2 wives. But he and other men of the Old Testament, didn't seem to realize this was improper. Since even godly men like Abraham did it. But it's clear that it is improper as we have the whole Bible. And the Bible forbids marrying more than one wife...

Well said, and true! We who are in Christ, are individual "temples" of the Holy Ghost. And to remain in Christ, one needs to accept the lordship of Christ in daily life! Yes, there are many spiritually lazy Christians, who fail to put Christ first in their lives! Though some eventually...

I was taught that the story of Israel being rescued from slavery and brought to the Promised Land - Canaan - is also significant as a meaningful picture of what it's like to leave a life of sin, to follow God. *Slavery in Egypt is a picture of slavery to the devil - a picture of life without...

Yes, Jesus' death on the cross made possible the attainment to the resurrection and the life! His death provided healing of the greatest sickness there is - that of sin. Adam died from the sin sickness, but all those who sincerely receive jesus as Savior and Lord - are those who are enabled...

Well, somehow, I thought you did. In any case, it looks to me like He died in the evening, since that correlates with the time of day the Passover lamb was to be killed and eaten in Old Testament times: Lev 23:5 5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover. KJV

Yes, I see that page in that site, comments about Stephen, who was stoned to death for His faith in God. I agree that when Jesus returns, we'll be given our eternal fleshly bodies, too! As the Bible says, Jesus' resurrection from the dead, is an example of how all who sincerely serve Christ...

I guess I can't see the figures of the timing involved, from His arrest to His death exactly the same as you. But that's not important compared to the importance of what He did for the world, through dying on the cross for the world's sins, of course. As you said, that verse that says He...

Yes, that's right!

There were 2 different Passover days set up - which began several days apart from each other. So the Jews must have added an additional Passover. (1) FIRST PASSOVER: John 13:2 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; KJV...

No - after thinking it over I see I still don't see it clearly. If He died late on the day before Sabbath day, that would be day 1 of His being dead. The book of John comments nothing about the following 2 days of His being dead. So I can't count any descriptions of those days. But at...

Yes, I thought I was able to count 3 days - I color coded 4 days, according to these labels, (1) The first Passover and His arrest - and His being brought before Annas, the High priest. That was the event in which Peter denied Jesus 3 times, before a rooster crowed. (2) The next morning, very...

Ok you're right, it does sound like Jesus had risen just before the morning of the next day. Yes, as you say, He'd already risen before the women viewed the scene. Matt 28:1-2 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the...

You're right - by now, I see it wasn't morning, but evening when He died. But it was still hard to figure out what days were in which He was dead. The Bible doesn't explain how to compare their calendar they were using, with ours. The only places ones can find that is not in the Bible - so...

I've concluded it seems evident the Bible doesn't make clear (or state in words clearly what days are meant throughout the story) according to the Roman calendar or ours - what days exactly the events of his arrest, crucifixion, burial and rising from the dead took place. Sure there are...

I don't remember what I said before about it, but I see now that the day of preparation was before the Sabbath: Mark 15:42 42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, KJV But I see upon looking, that the preparation of the Passover was...

Yes, I know that the government has been behind the evil agenda - and it's aim is to take more control and take away people's freedoms. And to destroy the economy, to make way for dictatorial type of ruling over the world. But we as Christians are to pray against it , and to pray daily for...

Yes,, I'm very impressed too, as i know who He really was (something the temple officials of His day didn't know) - - He was God come in the form of human flesh

Yes, He just looked like an ordinary human

Yes, God hides the truth from those who refuse to seek him sincerely, so that they remain blind in their sins.
