Ref: Another Time Of Shedding Tears For Easter Celebrants Just Passed!!—A Letter To A Reader In Ghana (Part 2 Of 2)

Dear Reader, as stated in my article under reference, and as I still emphasize in this letter, Yahushua was sacrificed on Nisan 13. I have also said that Yahuwah Elohiym ensured that all events surrounding this sacrifice were played out in a manner such that, as the body of Yahushua entered the tomb, all homes in Yisroel also had the cadavers of Pesach lambs within their homes right at the time Nisan 14 started for the feast of Pesach to begin behind closed doors!

If you go back to my little tabulation of death/burial/resurrection days of Yahushua in one of my e-mail attachments to you, which I publish below for the benefit of all my readers, you will see from it that the three nights and three days that Yahushua had to be in the tomb ended at the start of Nisan 17—that is, if indeed he entered his tomb at the start of Nisan 14.

But yes, undoubtedly, Yahushua entered his tomb at the start of Nisan 14 in fulfillment of the set time of Yahuwah Elohiym when all cadavers of Pesach lambs must be found within Hebrew homes at the start of Nisan 14 to be grilled for the feast of Pesach.

Tabular Presentation of the Burial and Resurrection Days of Yahushua HaMashakhYahu

By a simple calculation and through deductions made from Miryam Magdala’s evidence of the empty tomb on the First Day of the Week, Nisan 17 is obviously a Seventh Day of the Week—the perpetual and compulsory rest day—set by Yahuwah Elohim for all His children and untiring workers.

The beginning of this day, being the start of the rest day for all children and workers of Yahuwah Elohiym (including Yahushua, who is not above the laws of Yahuwah Elohiym), was when Yahushua resurrected (resting or refreshing himself) from all his work of salvation for mankind, just as his Abba and only role model and partner rested from His work of Creation on the Seventh Day of the Week. What a wonderful and lovely “like Abba, like Ben” lifestyle and character!!

Let me state here that the resurrection of Yahushua was determined by Yahuwah Elohiym before the foundations of the world were laid, to coincide with the start of the Seventh Day of the Week (Saturday?)—the same day in the week He rested from all His work of Creation; and so, the day on which His Son too had to rest from all his work of salvation for mankind!

Note that because the Hebrew Calendar has an alternating 30 and 29 Day monthly cycle in every year, every fixed date feast, obviously, must fall on a variable day. So then, Nisan 14 always rotates between the Third, Fourth and Fifth Day of the Week! In the year Yahushua was sacrificed, Nisan 14 had to be on the Fourth Day of the Week, in order for his resurrection to be at the start of the Seventh Day of the Week!

So then, if we are misled into thinking that Yahushua was hanged in the afternoon of Nisan 14, then his laying in the tomb would be at the start of Nisan 15. If that were so, then the resurrection would have had to be at the start of Nisan 18, which would have been at the end of the Seventh Day of the Week or at the beginning of the First Day of the Week.

If Yahushua resurrected at the end of a Seventh Day of the Week or the beginning of the First Day of the Week (Sunday of Christian clergymen), instead of at the beginning of this Seventh Day, that resurrection would have been deemed a fake one by even Lucifer and he would have cried foul, since that would have been a violation of the commandment of Yahuwah Elohiym for all His loyal and obedient children to rest at the start of the Seventh Day of the Week, and never at its end! See?

To suppose that Yahushua was killed on Nisan 14, as you and many authorities you refer me to all think, would also mean that at the afternoon period in which he was found hanging at Golgotha, the feast of Pesach which must commence at the start of Nisan 14 was already running!!

Can you figure out the meaning of such a situation, when the wisdom of Yahuwah Elohiym is drawn against it? Can you figure out a situation where the Pesach celebrations have already started and are in progress, although the Pesach lamb is not yet dead? Be assured that Yahushua was killed on Nisan 13; period and simplicita!!

Many people get confused when certain spiritual issues are played out or acted out before them. The death, burial, and resurrection of Yahushua are some of them. It always requires revelation knowledge for people to come to have understanding when spiritual matters are fulfilled or manifest before them; and so is the fulfillment of Yahushua as being the Pesach lamb of Yahuwah Elohiym! As you know, matters of the ruwakh are only revealed by Ruwakh HaKodesh, the only true Teacher of every [truly saved] talmid of Yahushua!

People have wrongly thought that because, for centuries, every Pesach lamb was to be eaten on Nisan 14, every Pesach lamb was also sacrificed within Nisan 14. But this is totally wrong! This error in thinking is fuelled by what many people think the English version of Shemot (Exodus) 12:6, which talks about when the Pesach lamb must be killed, actually means. This verse is, to me, the waterloo of many so-called authorities who make pronouncements on the Pesach feast, as it seems to add to their confusion in this regard.

Though there is clearly an obvious ambiguity in the way English Bible translators have rendered Shemot 12:6 and made it to stand by their own reasoning, with regards to the time the Pesach lamb must be killed, it is unpardonably wrong for any teachers of the scriptures to suppose that the Pesach lamb is killed on Nisan 14, when we have the full counsel of the scriptures for our education! Dear Reader, as you yourself quoted for me in one of your many e-mails as we battled each other to get to the Truth, “scripture cannot be broken”—cf. YahuKhanan (John) 10:35.

From what was played out in the sacrificial death of Yahushua, we must understand that the Pesach lamb is killed at a time when one day is about to end in the evening for another day to commence at this same evening. In all of this, it is clear that the Pesach lamb, though always killed for the Pesach feast of Nisan 14, was never killed on Nisan 14 but on Nisan 13; and was always meant to be eaten on Nisan 14!

Let me draw your attention to a scripture that almost all teachers on the hanging and death accounts of Yahushua fail to focus their thoughts on. This scripture is Lukas (Luke) 23:44-46. Do we know why Yahuwah Elohiym would do what He did according to these verses, in bringing about the manifestation of darkness at a time when mankind never expected it or ever saw any?

Was Yahuwah Elohiym not moving time and season forward to fulfill His plan and meet his instructions on the killing (or death) of every Pesach lamb—Yahushua, His own choice of an ideal Pesach lamb, included?

Did Yahuwah Elohiym drag time and season forward for no important reason or simply just for the fun of advertising Himself as Miracle Worker? Think about this! Think more deeply to figure out in what date it was that the 9^th hour in which Yahushua yielded his spirit—cf. Lukas (Luke) 23:46—was situated! Was it 13 or 14 Nisan?

Even though the scriptures say Yahushua is the Pesach lamb chosen by Yahuwah Elohiym, it does not mean that Yahushua was literally or physically put into the hands of the leaders of Yisroel to be killed by having his throat slit as every ordinary Pesach lamb must, and to be eaten as such!

If it were that they were to physically eat the flesh of Yahushua as the Pesach lamb provided by Yahuwah Elohiym for that year, then it would have been expected and understandable that they would have had to slit his throat just before the sunset which commenced Nisan 14 and to carry his cadaver into their homes to be grilled for eating when the clock struck for Nisan 14 to start; just as they had done over the ages for every Pesach lamb!

And how many homes would have been able to get a piece of this special, grilled, human-like flesh, the Bread of Life from Shamayim (Heaven?)?

Dear Reader, by now it must be obvious to you that Yahushua was killed as every other Pesach lamb just before Nisan 14 begins, that is, when Nisan 13 was almost ended! If this is acceptable to you, then the credibility of my article—Another Time of Shedding Tears for Easter Celebrants Just Passed!!—cannot be impugned! What do you think?

Shalom, shalom.
