Featured For Wednesday Crucifixion Advocates....

Did I not give this, already?

Sunday just before sunrise - the resurrection - the day started at sundown on our Saturday.
Saturday at sunrise - in the tomb - the second day and night. After sunset, the ladies would continue the preparation for the trek to the tomb at sunrise. Note: Jews forbidden to work on both the Passover and the High Sabbath (Saturday). The ladies had to wait until sunset Saturday evening to prepare to leave at sunrise for the tomb.
Friday at sunrise - in the tomb - the first day and night (remember the Jews start their day at sundown the day before we start ours).
Thursday - placed in the tomb just before sunset because the full preparation for burial was not completed obliging the ladies to return on Sunday morning as the sun rose to finish.

I am getting the impression you do not read with understanding, but assume one is in disagreement when there is none.

This is not uncommon, I do the same thing at times. I still (as I can) speed read, but am finding that my comprehension level is declining as well as coordination and length of concentration.

 

First, there is nothing that you have posted that I have disagreement with EXCEPT the "Fridayers" make the mistakes, not the Thursday folks.

Wednesday just doesn't get a chance because it muddles the whole week festival activities and the slaying of the lamb day.

So, for any readers, here, again is the timeline should you have missed it in any post I made.

Sunday was the third day. Began at 6:00 (Jerusalem time) at sundown on our SATURDAY!
Which then leaves 6:00 at sundown our FRIDAY to be the second day.
Which leaves 6:00 at sundown our THURSDAY to be the first day.

Crucified on OUR (gentile 21st century clock reckoning) THURSDAY starting at 9:00, death at 3:00, burial slightly before sundown (6:00) because they didn't have time to finish the burial anointment typically done because of the need to get home before the Passover.
​

For the reader:
The Jews start the new day at sundown, not at sunrise. So the lamb was slain on the afternoon of the night the Passover was eaten. The lamb was slain on Thursday, the Passover eaten on OUR Thursday night, the Jews Friday night. Basically they switch night and day when the daylight is actually over, while we sneak our new day change while folks are asleep in the middle of the night.

I wonder if it is because we desire to hide in the night to party? hmmmm

 

No problem.

If you look at what I wrote, I also indicated the difference between dawn and sunrise.

The Christ rose on Sunday morning, PRIOR to the ladies arriving. The ladies dcould not leave before there was enough light not to stumble around, nor before the soldiers had already left in terror.

Therefore, the resurrection had to occur at dawn on the first day of the week, just as the Scriptures indicate, and the ladies arriving near or just after sunrise.

The exact time as far as the hour and minute is totally up to speculation. I personally think that the sky was still dark enough that the resurrection light frightened the soldiers terribly. Such light would not have been as scary had the sun already made the sky and surroundings bright.

What an amazing sight that would have been. The stone moving on its own, the brilliance of the transfigured body coming out, the terror of those soldiers, their screams caught in their throat ...

The Scriptures indicate such when it says, "...Knowing the terror of the Lord,..."

My mind can run to all imaginings as I consider the resurrection.

 

Scripture says what it says all we have to do is believe it. It does not say what day of the week He was hung on the cross or placed in the tomb. It tells us He was taken down before sunset. and rose again on the first day of the week. The Bible says He was in the grave three days and nights. I have no doubts of God's word. It seems we have had this discussion many times. The Catholics are who said it was friday and they were wrong. We don't know that He arose at the break of day. We only know He was in the grave three days and nights.

The reason some cannot understand this is because we do not think like Jews. did at that time

Calminian,
re: "...it is the third day since all this took place."

If the 1st day of the week was the 3rd day since all this took place, what would the first day since all this took place have been?

 

What year on a calendar?
Mark 14:12, ". . . the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, . . . ." which was before that evening Jesus and His disciple eat the Passover (Mark 14:17). Jesus was crucified that same following day. Jewish days begin with an evening.
Exodus identifies the date on the Jewish calendar of the day of Mark 14:12, Exodus 12:18, ". . . In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, . . ."

Here is a tool that can be used to figure this out:

It did not happen as you suppose. Mark 14:17 would be our Wednesday evening, the 15th on the Jewish calendar. Mark 14:12; Exodus 12:18 being the 14th on the Jewish calendar. The Julian date April 5th, 30 AD.

 

Mat_12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
This was before His crucifixion..afterwards ;
Mat_27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Mar_6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

Grave, earth, tomb, all the same thing a place for the dead. Christ was placed in a tomb..
Yet His Spirit was in the heart of the Earth. He went there to set the captives free.

If Mark 14:12 was a Wedensday, Mark 14:17 would be Wedensday evening. That following day, Jesus being crucified, would be a Thursday. Mark 15:42 would be Thursday evening, when Jesus' body was taken down and placed in that tomb.

 

The Scripture says at His ascension, Ephesians 4:8.
