We do all realise don’t we, that in the days of Jesus, a day consisted on 12 Hours of darkness followed by 12 hours of daylight.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Exodus 1: 22; Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”
According to the Torah, it was on the 13th day of the first month, between the two evenings that the Pascal Lambs were killed and their blood splattered on the lentils and door posts of the houses of the Israelites so the angel of death would Passover those houses, killing only the first-born sons of the Egyptians. (Not the daughters)
To those Israelites, the first evening, began at mid-day when the sun began its descent toward the western horizon, the second evening was as the sun set. Jesus died at 3PM, halfway between mid-day and 6 PM, between the two evenings.
On the evening and beginning of the 14th day of Nisan, the Israelites ate their Passover meal, and at midnight the angel of death Passed over Egypt, killing all the first born Egyptian males, next morning, when they were allowed to leave their houses, they organised themselves, packing all their gear and receiving gifts of Silver and gold from their Egyptian neighbours, who Just wanted to get shot of them, and retrieved the bones of Joseph from his tomb in the Valley of Kings before departing Egypt in the evening and beginning of 15th day, which is the first of the seven day Festival of Unleavened Bread.
Exodus 12: 22: the Israelites are commanded by the Lord, through Moses, that on the night of the Passover Festival, the 14th of Nisan, the night that the Lord killed all the first-born males of Egypt, who were not protected by the blood of the sacrificial lamb, they were not to leave their houses until “
MORNING.”
Knowing from Exodus 12: 22; that the Israelites could not leave their houses until sunrise after the Lord had killed all the first-born sons, who were not protected by the blood of the Lambs that the Israelites had eaten that night.
And Knowing from Numbers 33: 3; That the people of Israel left Egypt (In the evening) on the 15th day of the first month of the year, the day ‘
AFTER’ the first Passover. Under the Lord’s protection they left the city of Rameses in full view of the Egyptians, who were burying the first-born sons that the Lord had killed in the previous night.
And knowing that the Lord said Concerning the day of Passover, in Exodus 12: 14; “You must celebrate ‘
THIS DAY’ as a religious festival to remind you of what I, the Lord have done, Celebrate it
(One day) for all time to come.
And knowing that it is said in Leviticus 23: 5; In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, [Which is the beginning of the 14th day] is the Lord’s Passover.
Not the evening of the 15th day, but the evening which is the beginning of the fourteenth day.
Verse 6; And on the 15th day of the same month, begins the seven day feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord.
According to the Torah, the Passover is an entirely separate festival as to the seven-day festival of Unleavened Bread.
Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples in the evening and beginning of the 14th day of Abib/Nissan, which the Jews in those days called the day of Preparation to their Passover, which they had incorporated into their seven day festival of Unleavened bread, and which they ate in the evening of the 15th day of the first month.
Jesus was sentenced to death on the 6th hour of the 12 hours of darkness (Midnight) on the day of Preparation to the Passover, see John 19: 13-16.
He was nailed to the cross next morning on the 3rd hour (9 AM) of the 12 hours of daylight on the day of preparation to the Passover.
Jesus said, “The day has 12 hours has it not, so work while the light is with you.”
At the 6 th hour of the 12 hours of daylight (
Mid-day) on the day of Preparation to the Passover, Darkness covered the land for three hours, and Jesus died on the 9th hour (3PM) of the 12 hours of daylight on the day of Preparation to the Passover, and he was buried as the sun set on the fourteenth day of the first month, just as the Jews were sitting down to eat their Passover in the evening of the 15th day of Abib/Nissan.
