What Day Did Christ Die?
- Thread starter Salty
- Start date
I believe Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us on the fourteenth day of the month Nissan of whatever year it was to God, the year Christ died.
I believe he died some time after the ninth hour yet before the eleventh hour and some minutes and was entombed before the twelfth hour which would be the beginning of the fifteenth day of the month Nissan.
I failed to vote so voted Wednesday. I believe God the Father laid Christ as the cornerstone of the church in Zion late on the Sabbath of the seventeenth day of the month Nissan.
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

It can be confusing but here's how I understand it with Christ confirming as Jonah was in the belly of the whale 3 days and night so will the Son of Man.... I believe in a literal 3 days and 3 nights, but this is argued and I won't contest it.
John spoke of the "High Sabbath" that week along with the weekly Sabbath. The days then in Jewish time began at sunset.
It is believed the preparation day for this high Sabbath was on Wed. with the high Sabbath being on Thur. another preparation day on Fri. for the weekly Sabbath on Sat.
Luke said when they placed His body in the tomb it was the preparation day, which was the preparation day of the high Sabbath which was Wed.
And Luke said the Sabbath "drew on" in other words the high Sabbath was coming at sunset on Wed. beginning the high Sabbath on Thur.
If this is true then Christ would have been in the tomb shortly before sunset that began the high Sabbath began.
All of Thurs., Fri., and Sat. until shortly before sunset on Sat, that began the fist day of the week Sun.
So Christ would have been in the tomb for the full 3 days and 3 nights, having risen from the tomb sometime around sunset on Sat, with Sun. beginning, meaning that Mary Magdalene found Him some 10-12 or so hours after He had risen from the dead.
