BODY OF THE JEWISH CHRIST.

THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS .
Which god are You Bowing Your Knee To by keeping the Holy Days of the Catholic Church? The True Christ Or The Antichrist?
The reason for the debate of when Christ rose from the grave is because the Sunday Catholic Christian Churches need an argument based on scripture to justify their braking of the fourth Commandment to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath of the Lord thy God Holy. When they are keeping the Sun's Day, they are keeping the Commandment of Constanstine instead. He commanded all people in his Roman Empire to keep Sunday as a day to honour his Sun God. All Roman Christian still to this day keep his Sunday Commandment.
"Rev. John O'Brien, The Catholic World, March 1994, p. 809, "The Sun was a foremost god with heathendom70; The sun has worshipers at this hour in Persia and other lands70; There is, in truth, something royal, kingly about the sun, making it a fit emblem of Jesus, the Son of Justice. Hence the Church in these countries would seem to have said 'keep that old pagan name. It shall remain consecrated, sanctified.' And thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus."
(Mat 6:24 KJV) "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Serving the Christ of Israel:
Mat 19:16-19 KJV) "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? {17} And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. {18} He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, {19} Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Exo 20:3 KJV) "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
Serving the Antichrist in the Pagan Roman Sun Worshippers. (John 8:44 KJV) "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. --- When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
(Rom 11:1-4 TLB) "I ask then, has God rejected and deserted his people the Jews? Oh no, not at all. Remember that I myself am a Jew, a descendant of Abraham and a member of Benjamin's family. {2} No, God has not discarded his own people whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you remember what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet was complaining to God about the Jews, {3} telling God how they had killed the prophets and torn down God's altars; Elijah claimed that he was the only one left in all the land who still loved God, and now they were trying to kill him too. {4} And do you remember how God replied? God said, "No, you are not the only one left. I have seven thousand others besides you who still love me and have not bowed down to idols!"
God did not reject or desert the Commonwealth of Baal, The Sun God. Israel or the C[i] ovenant He made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their seed. He had to reject all the People who called themselves by His Name, Israel, who were bowing their knees to worship the Sun gods of Babylonian. The ones rejected were bowing their knee to the SUN christ (god) they called "Baal". The Election of Grace of God does not save any person practicing the Idolatry of SUN Worship. His Covenant with Israel said all people who practice Idolatry will be destroyed. (footnote #1) Only the ones who are not bowing their knees to the Sun god Baal, by keeping the Covenant (footnote # 2) that God gave to Israel, were saved by God's Election of Grace. God has promised in His Covenant to saved all people who repent of worshipping the Hosts of Heaven, and return to Him only. To do this, they had to stopping bowing their knees in worshipping the false SUN christ. The Sun's Yule Child of Celtic Sun worship. Only theses who repent of SUN Worship, the keeping of Pagan Sun Holidays Christianized by the Roman Church, will be saved by His Election of Grace.
(Rom 11:4-5 KJV) "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {5} Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."
The promises of Salvation that comes from the God of Israel, was only made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed and the Gentile strangers who join themselves to Israel. Christ's Salvation comes to Spiritual Israel through the Spiritual SEED called Christ again living in the person as the Son of God. This is the Seed Promised to Abraham and his seed, in God's Covenant. That ONE SEED lived in God's Flesh Son Jesus born of Abraham as Jew and from the flesh Family of Judah. The Son of Abraham, and the Son of God, was Jesus Christ, who became the Christ of God when He was approved of the Father to be reconciled back to God in the Spirit. In order to be saved by the God of Israel, all men, both Jews and Gentiles must receive the Elected by Grace", to be reborn by God into the Spiritual House Hold of CHRIST. See Romans 11: 4-5. We receive the promise of the new birth when we have put on the same Faith that Faithful Abraham had in the SEED, "Jesus Christ". Jesus "Christ", the Son of the God of Israel, was that SEED. Paul said in;
(Eph 2:11-15 NABS) "Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands-- {12} remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. {13} But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. {14} For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, {15} by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,"
(Gal 3:28-29 KJV) "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. {29} And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
(Rom 11:17) "Always remember that it was the Gentile believer in Christ that was grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel, not Israel that was being grafted into the Sun Christ of Babylonian Pagan SUN worship as found in Roman Christianity."
NABS) "But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,"
One must always when you are studding the time of Christ's resurrection, that if you are studding with a bias to prove Sunday resurrection to justify your Sunday keeping, you are still" excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world." Eph 2: 12 above.
THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS
Three Days and Three Nights was only GIVEN AS A SIGN that Jesus was the Christ. It was not given as a sign to justify the changing the Sabbath of the God of Israel to the Sun's Day. By changing your day of Rest to Sunday you have done away with the Covenant and it's Commandments.
The question that we Gentiles who claim to follow the God of Israel and His Promised Son (The SEED) must ask ourselves is, how do I know that I am not bowing my knee to Baal the Sun god. Can I prove from the Words of the God of Israel, that I am only bowing to the Jewish Christ of Israel, the ONE who said He would be in the Tomb three days and three nights? How do I know that I am not listening to Baal (Sun's Christ) and his lying prophets, the Antichrists of Babylon? The people who worship the Sun god, Baal, don't know him by his Babylonian name, but by the name the Babylonian Church of the Rome Empire has taken from the Bible and applied to their false christ, Nimrod and Tammuz. The Churches of Babylon, have taken the name of the Jewish Christ, and applied it to their pagan messiahs. All Pagans, even those who call themselves Christians, are blinded by the God of Israel because the worship the Hosts of Heaven. They don't know whom they are worshipping because the Mysteries of the Babylon Mystery Religion is not revealed to the common people. They are only known by their Caesar (Pope) and his High Priests. Aaron did, he did know the difference between the gods of Egypt and the God of Israel. He saw them as being the same god as most Christians see the Babylonian christ and Jesus Christ of the Hebrew as being one.
People today still equate the Sun gods of Egyptians Babylon Religions as be the God's of Israel. Most Roman Christians still have this problem today,
(Exo 32:4-5 KJV) "And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. {5} And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD."
(Exo 32:4-5 KJV) "And he received them at their hand, and[i] fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. {5} And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD."
(Rev 17:5-6 KJV) "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. {6} And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
(John 4:22 KJV) "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews."
All the People of Nation of Israel who were not saved by Go[i] d's "Election of Grace" were bowing their knees to the Sun God Baal. The worship of this Babylonian Sun gods that Solomon participated in by building temples for His Egyptian wife's was what caused the God of Israel to split Israel into two parts.
(Rom 11:4-7 KJV) "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {5} Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. {6} And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. {7} What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded"
"Rev. John O'Brien, The Catholic World, March 1994, p. 809, "The Sun was a foremost god with heathendom70; The sun has worshipers at this hour in Persia and other lands70; There is, in truth, something royal, kingly about the sun, making it a fit emblem of Jesus, the Son of Justice. Hence the Church in these countries would seem to have said 'keep that old pagan name. It shall remain consecrated, sanctified.' And thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus."
(Rev 14:8-10 NASB) "And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality." {9} And another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, {10} he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb."
(Rev 17:4-6 NASB) "And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, {5} and upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." {6} And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered greatly."
(Mat 24:23-25 NASB) "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. {24} "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. {25} "Behold, I have told you in advance."
(Mat 24:4-5 NASB) "And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. {5} "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many."
The True Christ, would be in His Tomb for Three days and Three nights after His death
Jesus Christ only gave one sign to our evil and adulterous generation. That Sign was that Jesus, the True Christ, would be in His Tomb for Three days and Three nights after His death on the cross. To worship a Christ that did not fulfill these requirements, would be worshipping the christ of the Babylonian Mystery Religion who they claim was only in the grave parts of two days and one night. John 10:35 --- "the scripture cannot be broken;--.
Who Is The Christ Of The Babylonian SUN Mystery Religion?[i]
"Henry Tuberville, D.D., An Abridgment of the Christ[i] ian Doctrine (R.C.), p. 58," "Question: How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days? Answer: By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most of the other feasts commanded by the same Church. Question: How can you prove that? Answer: Because by keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the Church's power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin: and by not keeping the rest [of the feasts] by her commanded, they again deny, in fact, the same power."
"Mgr. Segur, Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today, p. 213, "It was the Catholic Church which, by the authority of Jesus Christ, has transferred this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] church."
The conclusion of the above statement: For keeping the Days that honour the Sun god Baal, the God of Israel condemns you to death. For not keeping the SUN FEASTS of the Roman Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic's condemned you to hell.
The One and Only Sign That The Christ of the WEEK of Creation gave, was that He would be in the grave Three Days and Three Nights.
(Mat 12:38-41 NASB) "Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." {39} But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; {40} for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. {41 "The men of Nineveh shall stand up with this generation at the judgment, and shall condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here."
If we do not repent of Sun worship and it's Idolatry that the Christ of Israel warned us about, then we are more foolish than the people of Nineveh.
The time of the Crucifixion, and the time of the burial, and time of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, are the most important things we can know if we are to guard ourselves against worshipping a false SUN christ, the christ of the Babylonian Sun Religion.
The Crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the God of Israel, are the most important events that ever occurred in the history of this world, so says the Apostle Paul. (1 Cor 15:14-20 KJV) "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. {15} Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. {16} For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: {17} And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. {18} Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. {19} If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. {20} But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept."
The ONLY sign that Jesus Christ gave, that He was the Messiah of Israel, has been used by the Roman Catholic Church to deceive the people who want to follow the TRUE Christ of Israel. They use it to teach that it was the God of Israel who changed His 7th Day Rest to that of the Roman Pagans Sun god, Sunday. By their false teaching they have persuaded God's People to commit Idolatry by worshipping their Sun god by keeping his day. They are keeping Constanstine's Sunday law instead of the God of Israel's fourth Commandment. "Remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy".
"We have this confession from their own Priests: Rev. John O'Brien, The Faith of Millions, pp. 421, 422, "But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn't it curious that non Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Catholic Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent, but the change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born by the Emptor Constanstine. They have continued to observe his custom even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church, and not upon an explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains the reminder of the Mother Church from which non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from his mother but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair."
With all his deceptive powers, Satan has sought to confuse the teaching of the Christ of the Bible, about His crucifixion and His resurrection after three days and three nights. This confusion from the Catholics Churches has deceived their people and the people who call themselves by the Name of the God of Israel's, Christians, to worship the Sun god Baal on his day. In the guise of an angel of light, Satan has introduce an inserted himself by every subtle and artful mean into the Catholic Church as their god, the god of everyone who follows the Roman Catholic Church. Satan introduced himself into the so-called Christian Church, by working through Pagan philosophers and false teachers. He has succeeded in blinding the eyes of the greatest majority of people who are trying to follow the Bible. Satan has succeeded to gain the worship that belongs to the True Christ, to himself. They are worshipping the Sun-god, Baal, as the Christ of Israel. They are doing this by keeping the Sun-day of Baal Worship. They have forsaken the Christ of Israel who's Day of Worship is the 7th Day Sabbath. Exo 20:10 "But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:"
Pagan festivals and feasts, such as Sunday Worship, Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday, the Feast of the Holy Trinity, the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Feast of Mary. the Festival of All Saints and all Souls at the time of the Fall Equinox, along with Easter on the Spring Equinox and Christmas on the Winter Solstice are now a part of Roman Christianity. In Sunday Christianity today, the whole scheme of salvation is hidden beneath a Mass of Pagan celebrations and rites. They are all Holidays of Celtic Sun Worship of the Host of Heaven. Christ preached against every one of these, and He destroyed His people Israel who practiced any form of Pagan Witchcraft in their worship towards Him. They even changed God's own Rest Day for Him, to Satin's Pagan Suns-day. The Celtic Sun Wheel (Witchcraft) that Roman Christian Holidays come from .
(Exo 20:10 KJV) "But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: [i]
"The Sabbath Day is not a Jewish Rest Day, but God of Israel's Rest Day that the Jewish people were Commanded to keep Holy. God Himself created it and then Rested on it. He gave it to Abraham and all his seed, both physical and Spiritual, to Rest on. Its the Sabbath Day of the God of Israel. Sunday is Constanstine's rest day. The rest day of the Babylonian Pagans Sun-god of the Pagan Roman Empire. The Day God Rested and the Day God's People are to Rests has been changed in the minds of the Gentiles who come to Jesus Christ through Rome's Religion and her Protestant sisters. They now think that God does not Rests on His own Sabbath, but on the Babylonian Sunday. They now teach that the Pagans Day of the Sun, is the New Rest Day for the people of the God of Israel. Their changing their day of rest to Sunday, instead of the Seventh Day Sabbath, gives Sunday Christians the freedom to not keep the First Four Commandments of God. They are not restricted from worship all the other Pagan gods by keeping their holiday that honors the Sun as god.
The Babylonian Church of Roman does not even try to justify their changing God's Personal Sabbath Rest Day and the Sabbath of His People, to the Pagan Romans Sunday on the bases Christ rose on Sunday. Only Protestant Sunday Churches do that.
Father T. Enright, C.S.S.R. in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas - also in History of the Sabbath p.802 said, "I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says : "No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.' And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church70; It's the MARK of our authority to over-rule God's law." Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
All Sunday Worshippers are giving their approval to the of the Roman Churches attempt to change the Rest Day of the God of Israel from Sabbath to Sunday. They do this by still keeping the Roman Catholic's Sun Day Law that they made regarding the day Roman Christian are to Rest on. The openly reject the First Four Commandments God gave to His People, Israel, to teach them how not to live the same ungodly life that the Babylonians lived. The Sunday Christians have not repent of braking God's Holy Sabbath and of their Roman Idolatry of Sun Worship. They have not embracing the Religion of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus Christ who keep all of God's Holy Commandments.
(Dan 7:25 KJV) "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." We must understand that the Antichrist of Rome can only think to change God's Seventh Day Sabbath of Rest from Sundown to Sundown on the 7th Day to a Pagan's rest on Sunday from 12 o'clock midnight to 12 o'clock midnight. (Mat 5:18-19 KJV) "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. {19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
(Jude 1:3-4 KJV) "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. {4} For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
To convince God's people in the Roman and Protestant Christian Church, to support the Babylonian Sunday worship instead of converting back to keeping the Seventh Day Sabbath of the God of Israel, Rome tells these people that Christ was crucified on Friday and was resurrected on Sunday. Even if Christ did raise on Sunday, there is no Commandment in the Bible telling God's People to convert to Sunday worship.
(Rev 12:17 KJV) "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
The Christ of Israel rose at the end of the Sabbath. (Mat 28:1 KJV) "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 sepulcher." God's Sabbath Day is from sundown to sundown. The sun had not yet set, bring the 7th Day Sabbath to and end when the two Mary's was there. The time of the resurrection revealed here in God's Holy Word, is between 5:30 and 6 P.M. on the Sabbath Day . That would be our Saturday Evening , our time, six hours before the Pagan Sunday starts at midnight. The Pagan Sun Day did not start tell 12 PM, six hours later. He rose seventy-two hours from the exact time He was placed in the Tomb on the Preparation Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, He was not found to be in His tomb. The Pagan's Sunday did not start tell six hours later. The Roman Solar Calendar week at the time of Christ's death started with Saturn's day being the name of the first day, the Suns day was the second day. Friday was the seventh day. The Moslem to this day still use the original Solar week. To them, Friday is still the seventh day.
"W. Rordorf, Sunday, p. 35; note that initially the day of the Sun was the second day of the planetary week, following the day of Saturn which was first. This is clearly proved, for instance, by several stone calendars (so-called indices nundinarii) where the days of the week are given horizontally, starting with the day of Saturn; see above fn. 28. In a mural inscription found in Herculaneum the "Days of the Gods" are given in capital Greek letters, starting with "kronou [of Saturn], Heliou [of Sun] . . ." (CIL IV, part 2, 582, no. 5202). A similar list was found in Pompeii written in Latin and beginning with "Saturni [of Saturn]" (CIL IV, part 2, 712, no. 6779). W. Rordorf, Sunday, p. 35, rightly stresses this point: "It must, however, be emphasized straight away that in the planetary week Sunday always occupied only the second place in the sequence of days."
The so called Christian Church of the Pagan Roman Empire, through their lies, has given their people, and all people who now have the Bible, and who want to believe they are follow it, a justification for keeping of all the Roman Pagan's fasts, feasts, and festivals. The same ones the Celtic Pagan of Europe observed from antiquity in honor of their Sun-god, Baal. In this way they have deceive the people who want to follow the God of Israel, into following and worshipping the Babylonian sun-god, Baal. All this time the Protestant Roman Christians think they have been following the True Christ, the Jewish Messiah, but in truth have been following their sun-god Baal. There is no scriptural evidence in the Bible to sustain the Sunday Churches believes. The Christ of the People of Israel demands His People, keep His Sabbath Holy, under the penalty of death.
(John 8:24 KJV) "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."
The Christ of Israel was not crucified on Friday. Nor was the Christ of Israel resurrected on Sunday. There is not one word of proof that He was. Taking the Word of God as our only guide, we find that He was crucified on the fourth day (Wednesday) and resurrected on the 7th Day Sabbath, after remaining in the tomb three days and three nights.
(Mat 12:39-40 KJV) "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: {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."
We shall try to prove that the statement of Jesus Christ is True and that He fulfilled every word He spoke. The Roman Churches use their false teaching on the resurrection to make a way for the people who want to follow the God of Israel, to justify their keeping the Pagan Sun holidays. Christ-mass, Easter, Lent, Good Friday, Feast of the Holy Trinity, Feast of Corpus Christi, and their All Saints and all Souls night, and all the other Pagan ceremonies, fasts, feasts. Through the deceptions of this false teaching, the Roman Churches have caused the people who want to worship the true God, Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah, to worship Him the same way the Pagan's worship their Sun god.
The Scriptures should prove to you that Jesus Christ was crucified on Wednesday, the 4th day (Midst) of the week. To think that He as Christ did not fulfill His death as the Passover Lamb, in the exact same way and the exact same time that He command His People Israel to keep the Passover, would be unthinkable as it would brake the Word of God. If He as the Christ died on the 4th day, the midst of the Week, on Wednesday, the day before the Passover, as the Passover Lamb, then Passover Sabbath would have to be on Thursday. Secular History and the Bible History teaches us the exact year that He was crucified. Daniel 9: gives us the Bible History that will give us the exact year that Christ was to be Anointed, AD 27. Add three and one half to that time and we have His death on the cross, AD 31. Add another three and one half years and the Nation was cut off as being God people when the stoned Stephen in 34 AD.
(Mat 2:14-15 KJV) "When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: {15} And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." Herod died in October, 4 BC. Jesus had to be born before that time. Thus He was about thirty years of age. ---,"
(Dan 9:24 KJV) "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
(Dan 9:26 TLB) "After this period of 434 years, the Anointed One will be killed, his kingdom still unrealized. . . and a king will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple"
. Roman History also gives us the exact dates these event were fulfilled. As we all know, the Temple was destroyed in AD 70. The New Testament gives us the year Jesus was Anointed the Christ of God. It was in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Luke 3:1-4. The 15th year of Tiberius Caesar was 15 years after AD. 12, when Tiberius begins to reign jointly with Augustus Caesar. (See any reliable history) The reign of Tiberius begins Oct. 23, AD. 12. He reigned jointly with Augustus for two years before Augustus death in AD. 14. Some count the beginning of Tiberius Caesar reign from the death of Augustus. Fifteen years after he began to reign jointly with Augustus in AD. 12, would bring us to AD. 27, not AD. 29.
Astronomy will prove that Christ was crucified on Wednesday March 28, AD 31. and that He was raised from the grave on our Saturday, March 31, before the Sun set.
The Year of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It is an easy matter to determine the year of the crucifixion. One can do this by the records found in the Bible that use Roman History to pinpoint a certain event that happened. We know when John baptized Jesus by these event in Roman History. One should not refer to dates in the marginal columns as proof as most of them are wrong. The common New Testament chronologies as to the death of Christ (found in the margins of the Bible), are not correct. It was merely assumed by Roger Bacon, in the thirteen centuries, and has ever since been accepted by our Bible Societies. The honest seeker after the truth demands proof, and not near assumption.
It is also freely conceded by most scholars and students of chronology, that Christ was born on or before the year of four AD. (Mat 2:1 3 KJV) "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, {3} When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." Herod died in October of 4 BC. Jesus had to of been born before that date. The date for the beginning of the Christian era was set at a date several years after the birth of Jesus. The date was based on false reckoning, therefore we must let the Bible itself settle these matters.
We know positively from the Bible records, that John begin to preach and baptize in the spring of AD. 27. The proof is as following: It was in the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar. Luke 3:1-4. The 15th year of Tiberius Caesar was 15 years after AD. 12, when Tiberius begins to reign jointly with Augustus Caesar. (See any reliable history) The reign of Tiberius begins Oct. 23, AD. 12. He reigned jointly with Augustus for two years before Augustus death in AD. 14. Some count the beginning of Tiberius Caesar reign from the death of Augustus. Fifteen years after he began to reign jointly with Augustus in AD. 12, would bring us to AD. 27., not AD. 29.
John begin baptizing in the spring of that year, and Christ came to John in the fall of A. D. 27. The record: (Luke 3:21-23 KJV) "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, {22} And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. {23} And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Hell,"
According to Jewish law, 30 years was the legal age for ministry. (Num 4:3 KJV) "From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation." This accounts for the fact that neither John the Baptist, nor Jesus begin to preach until they had reached the age of thirty, and for this reason too, the Bible says very little on the life of Jesus or John, prior to that time.
Now with the date of Jesus Christ baptism firmly established as occurring in the fall of A. D. 27, by the Historical records of the death of Augustus Caesar in AD. 14. From the history of the Caesar's, recorded in "THE ROMAN EMPERORS, A BIOGRAPHICAL GUIDE TO THE RULER'S OF IMPERIAL ROME. 31 BC - AD 476" we can know that Tiberius Caesar ruled jointly with Agustus for two years before his death in AD. 14, because Agustus was to sick to rule.
(Luke 3:1-3 KJV) "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, {2} Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. {3} And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;"
Caesar begin to rule with Agustus Caesar in AD. 12. Fifteen years after Tiberius Caesar begin to reign, John baptized of Jesus. That year would be AD. 27. From these facts recorded in the Bible and in history, it is a very simple matter to locate the date of the death of Christ on the cross three and one half years later as being in the spring of A. D. 31. The Ministry of Jesus as the Christ was to last three and one half years. (Dan 9:27 KJV) "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease"---.
He ate His first Passover six months after he was baptized, in the spring of AD. 28. (John 5: 11-17). His second Passover was one year later, in the spring of AD. 29.-- (John 5:1-3). His third Passover was eaten one year later, in the spring of A. D.30, (John 6:1-4), and His fourth and last Passover were eaten one year later, in the spring of A. D. 31, (John 13:1-2). At that Passover, He was taken and crucified. This makes just 3 1/2 years from His baptism to His death on the cross.
Adding 3 1/2 years from the fall of A. D. 27, brings us to the spring of A. D. 31, the year that Jesus died on the cross.
To locate the year historically, attention is called to the darkness at that time of the crucifixion, which continued from the sixth to the ninth hour, or from noon until three o'clock. It was not an eclipse, as an eclipse of the sun could not last so long. Astronomical calculations show that the moon was full at that particular time of the crucifixion. It was the Passover, and that always occurred on the day following the first full moon after the spring equinox. This darkness was supernatural and was witnessed at Heliopolis in Egypt, according to Dr. Hale, by Dionysius the Areopagite, who afterwards became a convert to Christianity under the preaching of the Apostle Paul at Athens.-- (Acts 17:34)
"In the consulate of Tiberius Caesar Aug. V., and Elius Sejanus (U.C. 784, AD. 31) Our Lord Jesus Christ suffered, on the 8th of the Calends of April (25th of March); when there happened such an eclipse on the Sun as was never before nor since.' In this year and in this day agree also the Council of Caesarea A. D. 196 or 198; the Alexandrian Chronicle, Maxiums Monachus, Niceporus Constantinus Cedrenus; and in this year but on different days, concur Eusebius, Epipanius followed by Kepler, Bucher, Patinus and Petavius, some reckoning it the 10th of the Calends of April, others the 13th;" -- Hales Vol. 1, Page 69, 70.
We have now established the time of Jesus Christ's crucifixion as occurring in the spring of A. D. 31. We have first proven this fact from the New Testament alone, and then historical reference given in the foregoing quotations. There it must stand against all arguments of man.
