The True Timeline of Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection

[Eccl. 12:13]

 

 

Let’s get right to it and really study this thing.

 

"...It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." Luke 4:4

Let's not only read every word, but also UNDERSTAND every word we read. Let's read the following scripture;

John 19
[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Notice the sabbath spoken of was a "high day"! Besides the weekly 7th day Sabbath God also gave us additional sabbath days, which were called "high days". These "high days" or “high Sabbaths” were to be observed in the same way the 7th day sabbath was. Let's look at a few of them;

First let's find God's weekly 7th day sabbath;

Exd.20
[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Lev.23
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Notice not only are we to rest, but we are also to have an holy convocation and no work is to be performed. This let's us know that it is a sabbath day of the Lord.

Now on to some of God's 'high day' Sabbaths;

Lev.23
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

In the 7th and 8th verse above God tells us of (2) sabbath days; the day after the passover is called the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and it is a sabbath day. The 7th day is also a sabbath day. Since these are not the normal 7th day sabbath the nation of Israel called these days 'high days' or 'high sabbaths'. These feast days are not fixed days. God uses the moon to start and end the months so these days did not always fall on the same day every year.

Because of this it is possible to have MORE than one Sabbath in a seven day period. This was the case when Jesus was crucified.

 

Now let’s read the events leading up to Jesus death, burial and resurrection;

In the week that Jesus died, Passover started on the evening of what we now call Tuesday. Tuesday evening, which was actually the beginning of their next day which is our Wednesday evening, Jesus ate the passover meal with His disciples. Late that night our savior was captured and sentenced to death. All that night He was beaten and tortured. That morning, our Wednesday, still being the passover day, He was put on the cross. Around the 9th hour (3pm) He died, just as the passover lamb was supposed to do; be killed on the passover. Just before the sun went down, around the 12th hour (6pm) our savior was laid to rest. Since the next day, which started at sunset, was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a 'high sabbath', NOT the weekly sabbath, Mary and the other Mary prepared spices and rested seeing it was a sabbath. Remember now, sundown starts the next day. So that means the first day of the Feast of Unleavened bread started on what we call Wednesday evening. Wed. evening to Thurs. evening Christ was in the grave for 24hrs., (1day and 1 night). Thurs. evening to Fri. evening Christ was in the grave for another 24hrs., (1 day and 1 night). And from Fri. evening to Sat. evening He was in the grave for another 24hrs., (1 day and 1 night). At which time, 3 days and 3 nights, exactly 72hrs. later, he was raised by the Father.

 

Now let’s confirm the feast Jesus kept with His disciples;

Matt.26
[2] Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
[17] Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

Mark 14
[1] After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
[12] And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

Luke 22
[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
[7] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
[8] And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
[11] And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

Jesus ate the passover meal with His disciples and that same day was killed. It was the only day He could die. For Jesus was our passover, and just like the passover lamb had to die the day of the passover, so did our Lord.

 

Now there are those that say, “Well the Jews of the day counted any part of a day as a day.” They say this so that they can continue to keep Good Friday and Easter Sunday, the traditions of man.

 

Well let’s put their thinking to the test and just use logic to see if it would even stand today.

 

Let’s say it’s Fri. and the time is 11:56:00pm and a person is due to be buried today; on Friday. Now if the person is laid to rest and is in the grave at 11:59:59 it is still Fri, but was that person in the ground for any real part of Fri? Of course not! Because 1 second later, 00:00:01 the day Fri. is over, and it is now Saturday. So could you really say the person was buried for (2) days, Fri and Sat?

 

Before answering…..let’s read how Jesus measured a day;

 

John 11
[9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Did you catch that? Jesus Christ Himself just told us how HE reckons a day to be. And Jesus said a day has TWELVE HOURS!!! So do I really care how the Jews of His time calculated their days? I could care less!

 

To put Jesus statement another way;

For as Jonas was three days x (12hrs) and three nights x (12hrs) in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

According to logic and the fact that Jesus Himself gave us the timeframe He considers a day to be, He had to be in the grave for 72 hrs.

 

Now 72hrs from a Fri. evening burial would give you a Mon. evening resurrection. Doesn’t work!

 

But 72hrs from a Wed. evening burial gives you just what God’s word says;

 

Matt.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 other Mary to see the sepulchre.

 

And was Jesus in the tomb when they arrived? Let’s read;

 

[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 

HE HAS RISEN!!!!

Amen Eccl... Great thread.... You are right on point with all of what you have posted..

[Eccl. 12:13]

Thanks Bro. As we both know it tis the season for the Pagan practices!

Have a blessed Passover and good feast days brother!

[Eccl. 12:13]

Will no Pastor/Missionary/Evangelist come to defend what they will be doing this Friday and Sunday?

Will no Pastor/Missionary/Evangelist come and prove with scriptures that God's holy word supports their tradition of a Friday evening burial and Sunday MORNING resrruection?

Will no Pastor/Missionary/Evangelist prove with God's holy word just how they can get 3 days AND 3 nights from Friday evening to Sunday, "...while it was yet dark..." morning?

Jer.10
[21] For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

Jer.12
[10] Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Jer.23
[1] Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
[2] Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

Jer.23
[16] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

Jer.23
[21] I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

Jer.23
[25] I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

Jer.50
[6] My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

2 Tim.4
[3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Ezek.3
[13] He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
[16] And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house,.....with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

[Hezekiah Ben Israel]

Will no man discuss the truth? We love to discuss the imagination of our hearts, but when it comes to truth, we hate to listen, and learn. We as Esau, also dispised the birthright our forefathers got from Esau because we keep not the commandments of God or follow his teachings..

[Eccl. 12:13]

Brother.....let Israel be and let them go and serve the 'other jesus' tomorrow! You know they just can't wait to do it, so just let them be!

I really didn't think I would get any replies anyway. And why would I......it's hard to dispute the true word of God when you really don't have any grey areas to hide behind! And I made sure this lesson had NONE!!!

You're right Brother.. I better stop before they stone me to death..
