| PASSOVER WEEK |
| Knowing that Jesus fulfilled the Feasts of the Lord to the exact day and hour, helps us to get a better understanding of the days prior to and after His resurrection. Some of this will challenge your traditions and thoughts regarding this Passover Week. I ask you to keep an open mind on the following details... |
| If we put it all together (feasts and biblical accounts) and work backwards, we can determine the last days of Jesus and nothing is contradictory to God's Word. Sunday, 6 AM(Day of Firstfruits Wave Offering,morning after weekly Sabbath) Resurrection on 3rd DAY-Saturday (weeklySabbath) Day 3 in the grave-Saturday DAY Night 3 in the grave-Friday night Day 2 in the grave-Friday day Night 2 in the grave-Thursday night Day 1 in the grave-Thursday day-(High Sabbath) Night 1 in the grave-Wednesday night-(High Sabbath) (Remember Jesus was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights and was raised the 3rd DAY) (Passover Feast begins after sunset Wednesday) Buried before sunset- Wednesday afternoon(Still Preparation Day)(John 19:42) Crucified-Wednesday 9:00 to 3:00pm Inspection Complete-Wednesday morning ("I find no fault in him") Last Supper-Garden of Gethsemane-Tuesday after sunset-(Preparation Day) Day 3 Inspection-Monday Day 2 Inspection-Sunday Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem/4 Days of Inspection begins - Saturday morning |
| I encourage you to open your bibles and read the Gospels, especially the Gospel of John alongside this chart. If you encounter words like Friday, Sunday, "day of worship" in your translation, please open a concordance to find the original Greek word, as some translations may add confusion by mistranslation. You will find some wonderful Bible Study links below to help you in your studies. Don't take my word for it. God's Word makes sense and there is no confusion. |

| or The Last Week of Jesus |
| In Hebrew reckoning of time: the new day begins at sunset, not at midnight as we reckon time. Sunset to Sunset is one day. Regarding Resurrection morning: Mary came to the tomb on the first day of the week (Sunday) while it was still dark.(John 20:1) The stone was already rolled away, showing that Jesus had already been resurrected before sunrise. |
