Once again, men's traditions, like this one, ‘~First Day of Week, Sunday, Jesus rose, and the two Marys came to the tomb~’ are more important to some instead of the actual Truth in God's Word.

Yes, 3 days and 3 nights Jesus said He would be in the tomb, and using Hebrew calendar reckoning, it comes out to His crucifixion on Wednesday, Nisan 14th, at the time for the evening passover sacrifice, and His resurrection on Sunday morning.

So, then we agree that:
  • Jesus died on Nisan 14 (Preparation day aka "Friday"),
  • was buried before the Sabbath began and rested in the tomb throughout the Sabbath (Nisan 15 aka "Saturday") without His flesh seeing corruption,
  • and then arose the day following the Sabbath (Nisan 16 aka "Sunday"),
with His body miraculously preserved from corruption over the Sabbath hours, a NT "antitype" to the OT "type" which was the manna that was also miraculously preserved during the Sabbath hours as well, or have I missed something?

Nope.

Nisan 14 was on a Wednesday. John 19 mentions the day of Christ's death was a 'high day', which means a holy convocation per Leviticus. There were TWO sabbaths that week, one for the passover, and another for the regular weekly sabbath.

John 19:30-31
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.
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.
KJV

That "high day" was about it being the passover high day, not the weekly sabbath of Friday evening to Saturday evening.

This is why they rushed to bury Jesus' body, because the passover high day was to start that evening. Figuring it any other way will not equate to the 3 days and 3 nights period Jesus prophesied for His time in the grave. Must also use the Hebrew calendar reckoning of that time.

Nisan 14, Wednesday evening, Jesus fulfilled the time of the passover sacrifice. At the coming sunset, Nisan 15, Thursday, would begin, a high day (treated like a sabbath per Leviticus). They rushed to bury Jesus' body before sunset.

Thursday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 1st night
Thursday dawn to sunset following day = 1st day
Friday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 2nd night
Friday dawn to sunset following day = 2nd day
Saturday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 3rd night
Saturday dawn to sunset following day = 3rd day
Sunday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = sometime in the morning Jesus arose.

Davy,
re: "Thursday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 1st night
Thursday dawn to sunset following day = 1st day
Friday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 2nd night
Friday dawn to sunset following day = 2nd day
Saturday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = 3rd night
Saturday dawn to sunset following day = 3rd day
Sunday (began at sunset) evening to dawn = sometime in the morning Jesus arose."

You've left out Wednesday daytime, Sunday night time and Sunday morning daytime.

BTW, how do you reconcile Luke 24:21 with a Wednesday death/Sunday resurrection?

No! Jesus never said He would be 3 days and 3 nights in the <tomb>.

And no! Using Hebrew calendar reckoning, it comes out His crucifixion was on the Fifth Day of the week: Passover Calendar - Month’s Feast of Sabbaths

So no! His resurrection was, according to the KJV in Matthew 28:1, "In the end(ing) of the SABBATH".

Why do you think do modern quasi translations CORRUPT this and many other Scriptures? To accommodate the Sunday Resurrection IDOLATRY of Roman Catholicism!

You've left out Wednesday daytime, Sunday night time and Sunday morning daytime.

BTW, how do you reconcile Luke 24:21 with a Wednesday death/Sunday resurrection?

I left nothing out, because Wednesday was the preparation day, at evening before sunset was to be the time of the passover sacrifice per Lev.23 (that is when Jesus died on the cross).

Per John 19, they then rushed to bury Jesus' body because at sunset would begin the "high day" sabbath, and no work was to be done on that passover high day that would begin at sunset (sunset to sunset was the reckoning of a day, not midnight to midnight).

That high day was Thursday, beginning at sunset. There were two sabbaths that week.

Concerning Luke 24:21, that would be Sunday morning, the 1st day of the week when Mary went to the tomb and found that Jesus had risen. So if the Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:1-3, and John 20:1 Scriptures are true, then your interpretation of Luke 24:21 making Sunday a third day in the tomb, is a false assumption. It's obvious that the woman speaking in Luke 24:21 meant it had been 3 days since those events she described took place. And indeed by Sunday, it had been 3 days, Saturday, Friday, and Thursday, because Jesus' body was buried at sunset beginning Thursday (Hebrew reckoning).

Sorry, but you're simply wrong, and Jesus haven risen after 3 days and 3 nights, like He said He would in Matthew 12:40, reveals He rose on Sunday which began at sunset right after Saturday. So all one need do is count 3 days and 3 nights backwards from Sunday sunset (per Hebrew reckoning), and it comes to Thursday at sunset when His time in the tomb began.

Sunday, 1st day of the week, between sunset and dawn, He arose.
Saturday dawn to sunset, 1 day
Saturday sunset to dawn, 1 night
Friday dawn to sunset, 2 days
Friday sunset to dawn, 2 nights
Thursday dawn to sunset, 3 days
Thursday sunset to dawn, 3 nights



As for my usage of the word 'tomb', that is what He was buried in, a tomb owned by His uncle Joseph of Arimathaea.

On what grounds do you assert <Nisan 14 was on a Wednesday.>? You have no grounds. It is your unscriptural preconceived fancy -- nothing factual; nothing Written!

John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost.
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.

Herein do you expose your fraudulent thinking:

That you force John to speak on its own so that it may seem he contradicts the other Gospels.

You do not take into account who the key figure is in the events from verse 31 and 38, Joseph.

If you take Joseph and his role into account, you MUST realise that Joseph appeared on the scene as Mark and Matthew defined the DAY AND TIME of his arrival "there, when it was EVENING already, since it HAD BECOME the Preparation" -- and NOT the "Preparation OF THE PASSOVER" mentioned in John 19:14, but, defines Mark "the Preparation WHICH IS the Fore-Sabbath" -- "Fore-Sabbath" of the "Sabbath OF THE WEEK" which in Luke 23:56b began as "the women began to rest the Sabbath" -- "the Sabbath according to the Commandment" -- "the Commandment", the FOURTH Commandment and "the Sabbath which is seen in Matthew 28:1 was "the WEEKLY Sabbath before the First Day of the week" -- NO yearly sabbath great day sabbath or not before the Fifth Day of the week! What nonsense!

John then speaks of the weekly Sabbath's "Preparation".

The next deficiency in your fanciful presuming, is that you have no idea, or, if you did have an idea, suppresses it, that John states not only that "it was the preparation", but "because, it was the preparation".
"BECAUSE"... WHY ... the REASON
Now if the Jews only when the Preparation "which That Day was great day-of-sabbath-of" the PASSOVER'S YEARLY "sabbath" according to John, requested that the crosses be removed, they, according to YOUR, twisted thinking, really overslept the whole day and came to the fore with their request nearly 24 hours TOO LATE.
No! The Jews asked that the crosses had to be removed for TWO reasons,
First, that they on their <High Sabbath> in full daylight the next day would not have to SAVE FACE because there stood there, those symbols of shame of Roman (Egyptian) bondage still!
Next, The Jews unwittingly obeyed their Holy Torah, LAW, which STIPULATED, that if someone be hanged on the tree, he must not hang all night, but before the morning, had to be taken down and the next daylight had to be buried. Deuteronony 21:23. Exactly what happened with Jesus' body.

<<That "high day" was about it being the passover high day>> IN FACT "was the Preparation".

And correct, <That "high day" was .. not the weekly sabbath of Friday evening to Saturday evening.>>

And <That "high day"> wasn't about to begin, but, as you say, <being the passover> THE VERY GREEK IN JOHN! John writes here about that day <being the passover high day>!
Indeed yes, <<not the weekly sabbath of Friday evening to Saturday evening>>, but "the Preparation WHICH IS the Fore-Sabbath" which "HAD BEGUN" and which "WAS GOING ON".

It "ALREADY HAD been evening .. the Preparation Fore-Sabbath having STARTED" is what is WRITTEN reading the Gospels all TOGETHER IN THE SAME PLACE.

That is the rule for me. I don't know for you; but I believe what stands WRITTEN. Therefore here, you, have confirmed a Thursday Crucifixion; not, a Wednesday Crucifixion and by having done that, you, have confirmed Jesus' BURIAL DAY AFTER HIS CRUCIFIXION DAY.

You really shouldn't live with so many negative affirmations which prove nothing, but are only statements of wishing something were true.

I showed you how to determine Wednesday for the day of Christ's crucifixion. In my post #85, I quoted several examples of when Mary and the Apostles discovered the open tomb. I showed how going backwards from that day, counting 3 days and 3 nights like Jesus said, gives the day of Wednesday when He died on the cross.

So you just making affirmations proving nothing, is nothing more than delaying your discovery of what I've already shown.

But this is the most flagrant nonsense!

If <<Per John 19, they then rushed to bury Jesus' body because at sunset would begin the "high day" sabbath,>> THEN QUOTE JOHN, NOT DAVY!

...the "high day" sabbath, and no work was to be done on that passover high day

More untrue Davy stuff. The Bible NOWHERE says what you, here, UNFAITHFULLY sell for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

You <showed> nothing there, say I, and I have not even looked at what you had to say there. I'll be back!

<<I quoted several examples of when Mary and the Apostles discovered the open tomb.>>

Mary Magdalene SINGULAR <discovered the open tomb>. The TWO apostles only confirmed what Mary discovered afterwards BEFORE MIDNIGHT THAT NIGHT. "And Mary saw the stone away from the tomb" DUSK Saturday night: "On the First Day being early of dark still" [prohi skotias eti ousehs].

More untrue Davy stuff. The Bible NOWHERE says what you, here, UNFAITHFULLY sell for the Gospel of Jesu Christ!

You're just making more affirmations you wish were true, without providing one lick of Bible evidence.

But I can show evidence from God's Word of these things...

Lev 23:5-7
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.

KJV

Ex 12:5-11
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

KJV


John 19:30-31
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
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.

KJV

It was the "preparation", the day before... the sabbath. Prior to the evening on the 14th Nisan, they were to select a lamb for sacrifice and prepare it, and then sacrifice it at the evening on 14th of Nisan. At evening on the 14th of Nisan was when Jesus gave up the ghost, fulfilling the exact time required of the passover sacrifice. At sunset would begin Thursday, the 15th of Nisan, a high day, when Jesus' body in the tomb would begin His prophecy of the 3 days and 3 nights. Therefore, right after He died on the cross, they rushed to bury His body because the first day of the feast was getting ready to begin at sunset.

Concerning Luke 24:21, that would be Sunday morning, the 1st day of the week when Mary went to the tomb and found that Jesus had risen. So if the Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:1-3, and John 20:1 Scriptures are true, then your interpretation of Luke 24:21 making Sunday a third day in the tomb, is a false assumption. It's obvious that the woman speaking in Luke 24:21 meant it had been 3 days since those events she described took place. And indeed by Sunday, it had been 3 days, Saturday, Friday, and Thursday, because Jesus' body was buried at sunset beginning Thursday (Hebrew reckoning).

<<Concerning Luke 24:21, that would be Sunday morning, the 1st day of the week when Mary went to the tomb and found that Jesus had risen.>> No. Mary and the other women found out the body was gone and the tomb was empty in Luke 24:1,2; not <that Jesus had risen> because Jesus, “RISEN, early on the First Day of the week APPEARED to Mary Magdalene.” Of course “He had been raised” by then to be able to “appear” by “early on the First Day”! Mark 16:9. So by Mark 16:9 it was six hours, halve the night, AFTER Luke 24: 22,23 and about 10 hours before Luke 24:21. Nevertheless, you are correct, <<interpretation of Luke 24:21 making Sunday a third day in the tomb, is a false assumption>>

<<It's obvious that the woman speaking in Luke 24:21>> No women speaking or <meaning> in verse 21, the two ‘disciples’ spoke to Jesus about the women who told them in 22 and 23.

"On the First Day" Luke 24:1 "Today is the third day SINCE these things .. how rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and have crucified Him: Luke 24:21,20.
Sunday - the 3rd day since death by crucifixion
Saturday - the 2nd day since death by crucifixion
Friday - the 1st day since death by crucifixion
Thursday - the day OF death by crucifixion
Wednesday - the 1st day before death by crucifixion
Mark 14:1,2 “over two days feast days (begin)” Abib 15 = Matthew 26:3-5 = Luke 22:1,2;
Mark 14:3-9 = Matthew 26:6-13
Mark 14:10,11 = Matthew 26:14-16 = Luke 22:3-6 = John 12:37-50 .. NO crucifixion!

Mark 14:10,11 = Matthew 26:14-16 = Luke 22:3-6 = John 12:37-50 .. NO crucifixion!



So the Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-4, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:1-3, and John 20:1 are all false according to your... reckoning. Let's see what they say...

Matt 28:1
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.

KJV

That shows the timing when Mary Magdalene came to visit Jesus' tomb, around dawn on Sunday, the first day of the week.


Mark 16:1-4
16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
KJV


That also shows it was right after the weekly sabbath, which ended the evening before. So from the evening before till near dawn, the women had been preparing the spices, and came to the tomb around dawn, on the 1st day of the week, Sunday. The evening before at sunset began Sunday. If you don't use the Hebrew calendar reckoning for sunset to sunset, you'll get all mixed up.


Mark 16:9
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils.

KJV

That also proves that Jesus arose sometime Sunday night and near dawn. Sunday began sunset and ended the 3 days and 3 nights period. So everything jives with what He said about being in the earth for 3 days and 3 nights.


Luke 24:1-2
24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
KJV


That also agrees with the above Scripture examples, that the women brought spices early Sunday morning on the 1st day of the week, and found Jesus' tomb open.


John 20:1
20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

KJV

John gives a little bit more info on the timing. Mary came to the tomb while it was still dark, so dawn was just arriving, on the 1st day of the week, Sunday, and the tomb was found already open, meaning Jesus arose sometime after sunset Sunday to that time near dawn.

Then it's a simple matter to keep to the 3 days and 3 nights, and start with Sunday sunset which ended the 3 days and 3 nights period. You did not do that! You even miss-stated what the Luke 24:1 Scripture is about! You instead defaulted to the Luke 24:21 verse about the 3rd day in order to cast DOUBT upon the timing of those above Scripture proofs I show.

You are not really interested in the Truth from Scripture on this. You are only seeking to create doubt. You cannot honestly count the 3 days and 3 nights back from Sunday sunset.

Once again folks...

The Hebrew calendar reckoning MUST be used to determine what day our Lord Jesus was crucified on.

Everyone knows He rose on the 1st day, some time between Sunday sunset and dawn. It doesn't matter if He rose immediately after sunset, or sometime before dawn; He arose some time in that night. (Again, don't mistake a calendar day, you have to use a sunset to sunset reckoning for a 24 hr period).

Sunday, the 1st day of the week. At dawn was when Mary came to visit the tomb and found Jesus had risen.

Sunday sunset, this was the sunset prior to dawn when Mary went to visit the tomb. The daytime prior was Saturday, and it ended at sunset, and that started Sunday. This is when the 3 days and 3 nights count ended, on Sunday at sunset.

Saturday dawn to Saturday sunset = 3rd day in the tomb
Saturday sunset to Saturday dawn = 3rd night
Friday dawn to Friday sunset = 2nd day
Friday sunset to Friday dawn = 2nd night
Thursday dawn to Thursday sunset = 1st day
Thursday sunset to Thursday dawn = 1st night
Wednesday at evening = the passover sacrifice killed, the time of our Lord Jesus' death on the cross.

It is TRUE <"The Passover was the "type".>
It is TRUE <It was a "shadow of things to come".>
It is TRUE <Jesus was the "Anti-type">,
and,
IT IS VERY TRUE, that, <<if you step into the shadow of the Passover and start following it, you will eventually bump your head at the Cross">>,
so that, if you don't <bump your head at the Cross>, YOU <MISSED> GOD'S ETERNAL PLAN with and PURPOSE for "the Passover of Yahweh". Because Jesus Christ is "the Passover of Yahweh" because He became a Man only to become "OUR PASSOVER" ONLY TO become "THE LAMB OF GOD".

So that every Scripture about the passover BECOMES "all Scripture concerning the Christ".

I tell you, for you a mystery, that as every Scripture about the passover BECOMES "all Scripture concerning the Christ", it BECOMES Scripture concerning "the day The Seventh Day Sabbath OF THE LORD GOD".

If this about the passover of the Bible Old AND New Testament were not true, dear brother in Jesus Christ, you resigned your job for a pot of bean-soup and you pay your tithe and offering and offer up your life -- you in fact ARE A BELIEVER, IN VAIN; plus, you would not, surely not, have had any Sabbath to remember or observe or keep holy!
What did Jesus identify as "vain"? Namely, "vain worship"?

"In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

The entire Christian world teaches for Bible doctrine that God's holy Sabbath day can be safely disregarded in favor of the "venerable day of the Sun"...sorry, my Jesus says, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments" and since He wrote the commandment to observe the Sabbath rest every week on the seventh day with His own finger in stone, I choose to do that because He loves me so.

I could have went to work tomorrow and earned almost $800 bucks double overtime, but my Lord will be present in His remnant churches tomorrow and I don't want to miss out on the blessing that is incalculably more valuable than $800 bucks, for sure.

The Resurection is the fulfilment of the feast of firstfruits; and so I do not wish to go back to the types and shadows of the law system, with its Sabbath-keeping, when in fact the fulness of revelation in Christ is now gloriously manifested.

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept." (1 Corinthians 15.20)

Nope.

Nisan 14 was on a Wednesday. John 19 mentions the day of Christ's death was a 'high day', which means a holy convocation per Leviticus. There were TWO sabbaths that week, one for the passover, and another for the regular weekly sabbath.
Yes, the Feast of Unleaven Bread fell on the weekly Sabbath, making it a "high" Sabbath.
Figuring it any other way will not equate to the 3 days and 3 nights period Jesus prophesied for His time in the grave. Must also use the Hebrew calendar reckoning of that time.
You're forgetting about "INCLUSIVE RECKONING" - which means "3 days and 3 nights" is not necessarily 72 hours, as is in the case of the book of Esther when she called a 3 days and 3 nights fast in preparation for her intrusion into the royal chamber but is said to have entered there on the third day, not after three full days and nights.

Inclusive reckoning allows for the Friday just before sunset to be the first, the second day as being the Sabbath, and finally His resurrection early Sunday morning as the third day.

Besides, a Wednesday crucifixion doesn't fit the typology. The Passover fell on Friday that year, but the Messiah is killed on Wednesday? That would mean He rested on Thursday in the tomb, instead of resting a Sabbath rest in the tomb, the significance of which is immeasurable. Also, it says He arose at the day dawned toward the first day of the week, which is impossible if He arose before the sunset of the weekly Sabbath - at least a full 12 hours, right?

Please do not go back to the "shadows". However, the seventh day Sabbath was a shadow of NOTHING - it was made before sin when all was light - no shadows. It is a memorial to our Creator and Redeemer, in which every week we can stop for 24 hours and "remember" that God created our world in six days and rested the seventh day..and...that He recreates in us a new heart by virtue of His shed blood on the Cross...and Hebrews 4:9 says if you are resting inwardly in Christ, you will evidence that by the outward rest of the Sabbath when you'll cease from your work as God ceased from His work.
