Hey Giannis,

Many people call the Passover an eight-day feast, even in Jesus' day. Some say Feast of Unleavened Bread and some feast of Passover. Passover is on the 14th and the Feast of Unleavened Bread is on the 15th -21st. In Matthew 26:17 it starts; Now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened BreadIn Mark 14:12 and in Luke 22:7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread when the Passover must be killed In John 13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover this was after the Last Supper. The Last Supper was on Passover Day.

Passover Day is a preparation day for the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The first day of the Unleavened Bread Feast is the Sabbath, Exodus 12:16. On the 14th all leaven had to be purged from the houses and Jerusalem. This is the preparation day that is in scripture not Friday the preparation day for the weekly Sabbath.

John 18:28 confirms the Passover lambs had not yet been sacrificed or eaten because they did not want to be defiled, they passed the blood of the lambs to the altar. This would be done after the sun started going down, any time after noon. This was going on at the same time Jesus was hanging on the cross. The Passover lamb was eaten on the night of the 15th the night they went out of Egypt, Exodus 12:29-32. Jesus was in the tomb when the Passover meal was eaten.

If Jesus was crucified on Friday, we do not have three days and three nights and there are not that many days covered in Matt, Mark, Luke, and John. If Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, Thursday would be the Sabbath, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the women could have gone to the tomb on Friday because it would be a preparation day for the weekly Sabbath, So Thursday would be the only day of the week that fits scripture.

That gives Thur. day, Fri. night and day, Sat. night and day Sun. night Jesus rose before sunrise, John 20:1 it was still dark.

I hope this is enough to make sense.

God bless,

Hi Gigi.

I'm aware also of the way they count the days. Day and night can fit either argument but at the same time it don't refute three full days, Nothing is conclusive. So we have to look towards the 2 Sabbaths. I haven't done much research on this but I will when I get off the road. but I will say Giannis view could be valid and also ours. The most important thing is Christ rose. However I'm curious. Any help in this is appreciated.

Great to hear back and Australia is a ways away but we are in Orange County ourselves and a part of a right division Fellowship that meets in San Juan Capistrano. We also have a lively website called helpersofyourjoy com where you can Zoom in to live Bible studies most days or otherwise access years of right division study resources.

Hi Richard

I hope you don't get offended by my regular interventions in your posts. My aim is not to argue but to give a slight different view to some points

In Rev 2-3 Jesus is not addressed generally to the people of those churches but specifically to the angels (the pastors) of them. The pastors are the ones who are held responsible for the spiritual condition of the church they serve. So Jesus gives warnings to them about doing their ministry properly or not

Jesus says to the pastor of Ephesus that he has fallen from his first love. Love to whom? The obvious answer is to God. But 1 John 4:20-21 says "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also"

So a pastor that has not so much love for God, then he has not so much love for the members of the church he serves either. And how is that shown outwardly? By his works. He has non. And what love is? A fruit of the Holly Spirit. And if we lack in love it means that we have come to a stop in our spiritual life and we actually go backwards

So Jesus warns that pastor that He will remove his candlestick, that is Jesus is going to take away that church from that pastor. (And then what? He will give it to somebody else who is going to serve the sheep properly)

And that is a warning to all pastors. They are held responsible for the condition of their flock of sheep given to them by Jesus. Are they going to be like the good shepherd that Jesus is or not? Do they work the 10,5,1 talent given to them?

Will they be like Saul the first king or like David? It is the same with all the other pastors in those 7 churches

Rev 3:3 " Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee"

Sadly, our state doesn't let us do anything for cheating spouses

Dear brothers/sisters.

Let me get a bit further on in my reply to dear Ronald about the day that the Passover was celebrated when Jesus was crucified.

Does it really matter? Maybe. Why?

If John is accurate (and I believe so) about that Passover was on Jew's Saturday (our Friday to Saturday evening) and Jews had that meal on Friday evening (actually Jew's Saturday since their day started from our Friday evening), then what kind of bread Jesus and His disciples ate that night? Unleavend or leavend?. There are two answers as below:

a. Leavend, since Jews were to start making unleavend bread the following morning, so that evening (Thursday evening) there wasn't any unleavend bread available

b. Jesus may have actually ordered unleavend bread to be made for Him and His disciples for their supper since that supper was actually a Passover meal done a day earlier.

Does it matter what kind of bread they ate? Yes it does. As we know Jesus performed the first Holly Communion during that supper. So what kind of bread did He use?

All of the Eastern Orthodox Churches use leavend bread in their Communion believing that the right answer is the "a." above

The church I am a member of uses unleavend bread in our Communion, but we haven't really dealt with this topic.

So your church what kind of bread use for the Holly Communion (or as you call it otherwise)? Leavend or unleavend?

I hope I haven't confused you.

GBU

Marke - Acts 1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and (falling) headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression (fell), that he might go to his own place.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

How can you fall out of a tree if you never was in the tree? It makes people feel good to think they are going to heaven no matter what they do. Many people are going to be deceived and fail because they love not the truth.

Dear Tim, you might also consider--

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or

persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:38,39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God be with you. May He lift you up.

By George I think he's got it!

Proverbs 6

God hate's those 6 things, but finds the 7th, he who sows discord among brethren, (morally) disgusting, a detestable act, an abOMiNation

Discord:Tension or strife resulting from a lack of agreement; dissension.

Lack of agreement among persons, groups, or things. synonym: conflict.

Look up (strife) in scripture, it's the work of evil.

Thank you Steve for sharing your wonderful, God-glorifying testimony of His saving Grace in your life. It seems clear that the Holy Spirit of God was right there at the moment of your readiness for a spiritual renewal. That you "felt the Fear of the Lord come upon you...shaking and trembling" for the magnitude of your sins, and for the destiny of your soul, can be nothing else but the Work & Power of God in your life.

It seems that you went through stages before this mighty encounter with God, but now in hindsight, you can be confident that the Lord hadn't left you all this time to grope around in the dark, but one day have His Glorious Beam of Light shine into you dispelling the darkness & ignorance. I hope you have been able to connect with a good Bible-believing, Bible-preaching Fellowship that you may be encouraged in the Word & Faith & also be a testimony to others ensnared by the evil one. The Lord bless you & guide you richly brother.

I usually don't pray for anyone till they haven't been answered for 24 hrs. Yet I felt lead to answer one more and that led me seeing yours. Heavenly Father I thank you so much for your son Jesus as well as your loving grace and giving us the immune system to deal with any ailments that comes our way Lord. Emily has asked that we pray for Gianna's mom thinking she might have COVID. Beings the FDA hasn't even approved this "V" and it has been proven to kill more than it helps Lord I ask that you let her know you will cure anyone from covid if they stay in prayer, well hydrated and anything natural just like my friend you healed a few weeks ago, without the V. As horrible as they can feel Lord we need to learn to rely on you more because man made meds are mostly a money making scam for the most part and harm us, over time, more then anything so we get more meds to cure yet something else that drug caused, go figure ha? Father please lift them up to let you be their strength in hard times. Jeremiah 1:14-19 In Jesus name I pray Amen! p.s. and several coroners are now coming out about what they find in ppl that have had the "V". Yet, you do what you feel God leads you to do. PRAYERS

Hello Kiran. Just to briefly address your questions, since I'm unsure what answers you're expecting, I offer the following:

a. Idolatry in the Bible is committed when a person or people group create an idol to become a representative of the True God, and fall down to worship the idol. There is another form of idolatry when a person raises another person to such a high level that he/she becomes all that is time & mind consuming. We might find that not only in religious circles but also in the secular (e.g. pop culture). If Israel as a people or nation is worshipped or is representative of God, then that would be idolatry, but I know not of any instance of that happening. Or, if you're referring to the prominence we might given to Israel as a nation, then that is so because Israel was important to God then, as it is now, & will be in the future. But this is biblical fact not idolatry.

b. When Jesus came to Earth, He came in to usher in the New Covenant of God (that which was ratified through His Sacrifice for the sins of mankind). I don't recall Jesus ever condemning the idolatry performed by those people or nations described in the Old Testament, since Jesus' Coming & Ministry was primarily to the Jewish people. Yet, He did make reference to things that can be idolatrous to them, such as the story of the rich man ( Luke 18:18-23), where his wealth was his idol (he put it first before loving & serving God). Or Matthew 6:24, where one cannot serve God & mammon (Gk. mamonas = riches, possessions, property; Jesus is asking, 'Who is your god?' 'Is it the offerings of the world (idolatry), or God Himself?' In Jesus' Day, the Jews didn't keep idols of wood or stone to worship, but idolatry of other things were rampant, just as it is today, where we have found other things to take the place of God to try & satisfy our inner longings & questions. The Romans (rulers at that time) of course, had many gods, including the Caesar whom they deified.

wow, Ironic, NO God, I just finished my reading after praying for a few on this site and as I was going to turn it off I felt God tell me to do check one more prayer. He knows I always wait to pray only after someone hasn't received a prayer for 24 hrs. and todays was Jeremiah 1:14-19 Heavenly Father I pray that you please be with Amber in her time of need and keep her chin up for you know her husband is only trying to continue belittling her and keep her scared because of her weaknesses. Lord keep her strong not only in your word but mentally and physically so he does not succeed in getting his way in his sins. Lord find her to a good "probono" lawyer that will work free for her in her time of need and get her child back and house especially if she can prove his cheating and such. In Jesus precious name I pray Amen! p.s. check state laws on what to do as well

Where is the conversation God cast Lucifer from the heavens and gave Lucifer dominion over the earth

Amen! Heavenly Father thank you for your son Jesus. You know the needs of this world Lord for it's written that "In the end times" we will go through trials & it's only going to get harder if we don't keep Jesus close. Lord I pray we all keep your wisdom, love & strength to endure and NOT get the mark of the beast (for any still on earth after we are taken up/raptured). You have given & will continue to give us more chances then we deserve to repent yet when the book is complete, that's it. So anyone needing to repent do so NOW. For not even the angles know the time or day of Christ return. Your will be done Lord. I ask that you keep us strong helping us not give into satan and his minions as they are taking so much from us making it hard to keep our heads up (especially a roof over us, bills pd & feeding our children) but keep our heads up we must. Lord help us to rely on you more not worldly things. I ask that we learn to control our sinful desires so we spend what little money we have on needs not wants. Lord if all we have is rice and beans (preferably w/spices) so be it. Plus we wont always have electricity either so..Lord you also know we need to rely on you more so some of what we are going thru is to prepare us for that time so we are stronger, wiser & keep our composure. The internet is good when we are sick or can't get to church yet (sometimes) being around HUMANS will make us stronger Lord. that being said, I pray these things in Christ name, Amen! p.s. FYI "Tithing" also includes your time to those in need. So for us that don't believe in or have money to give "a church" give your time or handy work to someone. Our missionaries need help and prayer. ALWAYS! Volunteer some place that doesn't make you get the V like a school or help the homeless! Love & forgive ALL as He Loves and forgives you when you. Remember, If it's God made (natural) it is GOOD yet if it's man make BAD like MOST meds. Just sayN . God bless & be w/each & everyone of us

Exodus Ch. 30

continued...

Jesus was most likely pretty outwardly a mess after His beatings, carrying the cross along the dusty road, and being bloodied from the crucifixion, crown of thorns, as well as the flogging.

I think of how Jesus washed the feet of the disciples to make them "clean". It took a work of Jesus to cleanse them. they needed to allow Him to do so and not object. We, too, should be willing and ready for the cleansing work of Jesus through the Holy Spirit in us.

Next, the recipe for the anointing oil is given. The ingredients are to be compounded, ground or beaten to pulverize them to release the perfume. Jesus was severely beaten before his crucifixion.

The priests are to use the oil to anoint the tabernacle, the ark, the table of shewbread, the utensils, the altar of incense, the altar of sacrifice and its utensils, and the laver. Jesus blood sprinkled upon us is what anoints us and makes us holy before the Father.

The priests are to be anointed with the oil also, to consecrate them for service.

YHWH speaks very straight forwardly, warning the Israelites that this oil is holy and is for Him. It shall not be poured on the flesh of men, nor shall the people make any oil like it in composition. This is a stern warning. The oil appointed by God is for specific purposes and shall not be misused by anyone.

Next, Moses is given the ingredients for incense: stacte, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense and given to a perfumer to compounded. It is to be beaten into a fine powder. Some of it was to be placed before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting. Again, YHWH warns against making this recipe of incense and use it for any other purpose. It is holy incense to the LORD. We should be sure that we bring our prayers to God in a proper way, with reverence, faith, and trust, through the blood and in the name of Jesus. Our prayers arise to the Father as incense. What a beautiful word picture this is as well as an actuality.

My husband who claims to be a good, godly follower of Christ, kept cheating on me and treated me really bad. He had been on dating sites without my knowledge and out of nowhere he kicked me out of our home onto the streets and has his girlfriend there in our bed and around my daughter that he wants sole custody of. We tried marriage counseling with our pastor before and we took a test that proves he was violent, controlling, alienates, etc. And I have depression and a fear of abandonment. So he used that against me and left me in a horrible unexpected way. It kills me to know this man I love so much and took so many hurtful things from (as well as dished them out in anger which I'm not proud of....) never loved me at all. I can't stop believing God will heal us....even as we go through divorce and custody battles currently. He has a lawyer and I don't. I just need serious prayer as I lose everything I love and he acts like I don't exist and turned everyone against me making them think I'm crazy and running my name. The pain from this is indescribable. I thought our vows meant more but it wasn't real to him. I guess God decided not to save our marriage because he knew my husband didn't honestly love me. I can't even go to my church cuz even the asst pastor believes his lies. Only God can help so please pray for the situation. Thank you.

Exodus Ch. 30

In this chapter is described the making of the altar of incense, the recipe and use of the incense, and the brazen laver where the priests are to wash their hands and feet morning and evening when they minister in the tabernacle.

The altar of incense was made of acacia wood overlaid with pure gold. (This may signify the humanity (wood) and divinity (pure gold) of Jesus who mediates for us continually before the Father in heaven. This altar is placed just before the veil that separate the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies where the ark was placed and God's presence appeared upon the mercy seat. How fitting that the intercession of Jesus (incense) allows the Father to look upon us with mercy.

Incense is to be burned morning and evening when the priest tends to the lamps of the 7 branched menorah (lampstand). There is a warning for the priests to not burn any other combination of spices for incense. Only what was proscribed in this chapter, int he proper proportions. Most of the ingredients I am familiar with, but I did need to look up calamus. It is a type of reed that emits a sweet aroma when beaten.

The chapter also speaks of Moses taking a tax from the Israelites for the expenses of the sanctuary. This was done through a census of each male over the age of 19. Everyone paid the same amount. It was called atonement money. But we know that money cannot buy forgiveness of sins so this must mean that it is for the services of the tabernacle by the priests. Since the lamps, incense, and animals for sacrifice are needed twice each day, these needed to be steadily supplied to the priest for their services before YHWH.

The bronze laver used for the priest to clean their hands and feet each time before serving in the tabernacle. The purity of the priests was emphasized here. Jesus is the purest priest for us, having never sinned. He did not need to wash his body to be clean before the Father.

iam a sick person but i always past through with Jesus Christ and help me

iam sick liver patty so Prayer me in the Name Of Jesus Christ

Giannis,

Thank you for your reply. I did know that about how Hebrews counted days. That was how it was explained to me growing up. I may be wrong on this.

Yes. S. Spencer. It is often preached that Jesus died on the cross for our salvation, but often times the resurrection is preached as being an important aspect of our salvation, too.

Giannis,

Thank you for your reply. I did know that about how Hebrews counted days. That was how it was explained to me growing up. I may be wrong on this.
