Technically, one of the most important scriptures to thoroughly understand; for it can reveal who are false prophets, and which church is the one Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against it. If the Sabbath was the next day - then Jesus was crucified Friday - which according to the sign of Jonah and a scripture that reveals that a day is 24 hours reveals that Jesus contrary to the belief of practically every denomination - because they don’t do the math - was resurrected on Monday afternoon. The high Sabbath is the tale tell that one seriously seeking salvation should consider. The bible says that Jesus was crucified midweek. In 7 days midweek is wed. According to the sign of Jonah and the 24 hour day scripture reveals that Jesus was resurrected on Saturday. The Sabbath day - and although I’ve researched different studies I am a believer that God did not raise Jesus from the dead on "Easter Sunday", and did not change the Sabbath day. Note - even IF Jesus was resurrected on Sunday - the bible never declared that or anything else reason to change the Sabbath day as many denominations claim. That is ludicrous to think God in His wisdom so great that the most intelligent ever born can’t comprehend would suddenly change the Sabbath day! I ask - WHY WOULD HE ? To anyone who believes Sunday is now the new Sabbath day.
@Emanuel,
What you have raised is a profound study in the Bible. And just one book (John) is not enough to provide all truths that the study entails.
It has to start from the Old Testament, where one can learn the institution of Jews Passover with Moses, all events, lawful and customary that surrounded that Passover.
Yes, there were two Sabbaths involved in the events that surrounded the death and resurrection of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
1. One is the Sabbath of Preparation of the Jews Passover in John 19:31,42. That Sabbath had nothing to do with weekdays, it was just a public holiday ( Leviticus 23);
2. The second is a weekly Sabbath, spoken of in John 20:1 in the first day of the next week.
So there were 2 Sabbaths involved, and they were successive the holy proclamation (public holiday) and the normal weekly Sabbath. And resurrection took place early on the first day of the week.
I could recommend a study by Victor Paul Wierwille “Jesus Christ our Passover”.
Great to notice the accuracy of word of God.
God bless you.
What about the theory that there were two separate Sabbaths days in that week, please see "centuryone [dot]com[slash]crucifixion". My question is bona fide - can anyone elaborate on this, or respond to it? Thank you.
"It is finished." Jesus said, "...I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." ( John 17:4) The mathematic definition of work states work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement of the object. For a force to qualify as having done the work, there must be a displacement and the force must have caused the displacement. According to this definition, I can dig all day trying to get a stump out of the ground; but, if I do not displace the stump (get it out of the ground) work was not done. Satan did a work on man, and man did a work when man sinned. Man was displaced from righteousness. Jesus did a work of righteousness. He displaced man from sin, death, and hell. His work on the cross moved man from death to life; from darkness to light; from sin to righteousness. Each man has to do a work of repentance to receive the work of Christ. Without repentance, man may spend his lifetime fleeing the curse of death, yet, finding no escape of death - for he actually did no work of repentance.
The woman of Revelation 12 is Mary the mother of Jesus because we can consider 12 in light of another passage in the Johannine tradition: Mary at the Cross in John 19:25–27. In John 19, we see from an earthly perspective what happens on Calvary: Jesus is crucified by the Romans while His mother and the beloved disciple stand at the foot of the Cross. Revelation 12 portrays the same scene, but from a heavenly perspective, so we can see with the eyes of angels what really happens on Good Friday: Calvary is the climactic cosmic showdown between God and the devil, and the real force behind Christ’s crucifixion is not the Romans, but Satan. While John 19 presents soldiers nailing Jesus to a cross, Revelation 12 shows us the dragon waiting to devour the male child and fiercely battling the forces of heaven ( Rev. 12:4–5, 7) and the son emerging victorious, enthroned in heaven, while the devil is defeated and cast down (12:5–9). All these parallels "woman," birth pains, Satan’s defeat, the mother of Christ, and the mother of Christ’s followers—show a unity of thought about the woman figure in John’s writings. Therefore, if the woman in John 19 is clearly understood to be Mary, the woman in 12 also should be seen as Mary.
We all have a cross to bear according to John 19.
We are so eager to rush through suffering in order to receive God's glory, blessings, and mercy on us. Jesus knew he had accomplished his goal because God had already communicated it through his spirit, which is why he said "It is finished." We must know that me must continue to suffer to fulfill our destiny unto the Lord and wait for him to communicate to us when our test has been completed. Then, in our spirit, we will know by the very voice of God when we have come through our test. We can then say "It is finished." Then guess what..... we are on to the next test.... from glory to glory.
This is for mel. in John 19:30-37 these words from an eye witness. not from jesus christ (PBUH). but if u read Matthew 12:38-40, these words utter by jesus christ (PBUH) him self. john says that the soldier found jesus christ (PBUH) was dead according to him. But in gospel st. matthew Jesus christ (PBUH) says that his sign was jonah's (PBUH) sign. as jonah (PBUH) was alive in the belly of the wahale, Jesus Christ (PBUH) also alive the heart heart of the earth. now you decide who is speaking the truth. Jesus (PBUH) or the eye witness.
and the second thing is, no any person can pay for others sin. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him" ezekiel (18:20).
Actually to me, the “task” wasn’t fulfilled at the point of him talking to the thief... people will tell you “Jesus died on the cross for our sins” then they use this to say “ha! All you have to do is believe just like he did” well.. Sorry... Not true... because that was before the new testament… CAUSE JESUS HASN’T DIED YET… Look at verse 46… then you read in the other gospels where it talks about them “piercing” his side and the BLOOD and WATER... * John 19:34* then in *19:36* it says so the scripture was fulfilled … THAT’S when the LAMB was sacrificed… the LAMB being Jesus... the blood being the CLEANSING… that’s when the New Testament begins… MY BLOOD AND FLESH… so that should answer your question
