2020 Passover & Easter

[marie glen]

This year's calendar fits perfectly the year Jesus was crucified. Passover is on a wednesday and Easter is on the following Sunday. Jesus was crucified (executed) on Passover. He died at around three p.m. on Nisan 14, which is Passover. Now don't forget, Hebrew days begin at sunset.. The evening before, therefor, began Passover. The disciples wanting to prepare for the Passover feast - which is not eaten on Passover day, but (biblically) Passover is the preparation day for the feast upon the 15th of Nisan, in the early hours of it after it begins at sunset.
     This 15th of Nisan is a high Sabbath (of no labor) called "First Day of Unleavened Bread". There's seven days of "Unleavened Bread".
    This is all called Spring Holy Week. Also part of Spring Holy Week, is the the regular weekly Sabbath, I mention because a third Holy Day follows the regular weekly Sabbath, and this third Holy Day is called "Firstfruits".
     We could call this holy week prophecy! Though let me warn you, it's not easy to see how perfectly it was fulfilled, because both Passover and First Day of Unleavened Bread are (and were) sometimes called Passover. Or, Unleavened Bread. And three days of the week can be called "Sabbath". And in the gospel accounts are both Hebrew reckoning of the hours (time) of day, and Roman reckoning.
     Most folks believe Jesus died on a Friday and rose Sunday morning. This is human (church) reasoning. And it doesn't matter! Except for seeing the prophecy. And how utterly perfectly it was fulfilled.
     He died upon Passover (He is our preparation for the feast! The feast of Life as God will have it, after this learning of good from evil is all said and done. For "this is the mystery, Christ in us" (Colossians 1:27).
     He was put into the grave as sun was setting. He had said He would be "in the grave for three days and three nights".
     That year (and this year) Passover is on a Wednesday. And the Lord was put into the grave as Unleavened Bread was beginning after sunset (Wednesday). So counting forward, Jesus was in the grave to Thursday evening.. to Friday evening.. to Saturday evening - which of course is the ending of weekly Sabbath day, which begins the third holy day "Firstfruits".
     1 Corinthians 15:20 says, "Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep".
      So there we have it! His first advent fulfilled Spring Holy Week - died on Passover, in the grave on First Day of Unleavened Bread, and rose on Firstfruits.
     Fall Holy Week also has three Holy Days. Surely(?) these are prophecy concerning the Lord's long second advent! Which coincidently has three main peaks - (1)the Lord's return and "appearing" after which is "the thousand years" called the millennium - (2)the judgment, when occurs the resurrection of those not saved/reconciled before they died (see Rev.20) - and (3)when "the Son hands over to the Father the kingdom, all things subdued" - 1 Corinthians 15:28(22-28). And "all things are made new. There is a new heavens and a new Earth.. where righteousness/perfection will dwell.. and God will now tabernacle with mankind upon Earth" - Rev.21:1-5; 2 Peter 3:12-13.
     The three Fall Holy Days are (1)Trumpets, ten days later is (2)Day of Atonement - THE highest day of the year - and five days later is (3) Tabernacles.

What think ye? Does this suggest Day Of Judgment is Great Day Of Atonement? (DOA for those initially doa? :doh: sorry couldn't resist. :laughing7: )
