A discussion today must be had. Something of deep concern and interest to all. I think an opportunity for the majority of us being stuck inside houses away from our traditions and normalcy will give you a time to research and ponder everything. And make a decision from this day🤔
I know many of you are at least aware if not partially knowledgable about the Gentile connotation of Easter and its relation to a particular goddess Ishtar. Worship of Sammuruz, Tammuz, and Nimrod. However, this is not what I will aim at, I am aiming at something forgotten.
It starts at the beginning. "Let there be Light!" And the Darkness and Light were the first day. Our term "From Darkness to Light." "Or the Long Night." "The Dawn Approaches" Etc actually are all based around this phrase. However, there is something highly important here. Considr
First, in the Gentile system we use Solar Day, Solar Calendar. With the Height of the Sun [Noon] being the demarcation of a day. But in the Hebraic [Old Jewish] System its Sunset to Sunset is a Day. Sunset being the Demarcation time. Ironically giving everyone more time work etc
Why does this matter? You ask. It matters massively. One of several fronts pertaining to Yeshua3 Crucifixion and everything leading up to it. Tradition and Time have Separated our view of the Messiah and the historical prophetic framework he had to fullfill in total. The Law.🤔
I want you to throw all concept of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, etc. overboard because those traditions have blinded us from some of the major considerations and historical linchpins for the miracle of the Salvation of Humanity and the Sacrifice that had to be fulfilled by the word!
I am literally opening a massive can of worms, that will probably have alot of people either counter attacking or asking questions. It is not my intent to divide or increase contention. Many of you have access to Le Bibble Cookbook and will probably need to reread everything now
Most people are not considering how many things had to be fulfilled, put in place for the culminated moment of the Cross. And the literal Crossroads for humanity. I will never claim to be an expert, nor will I say I have all the answers, nor again shall I know every history angle
This particular angle is very telling. He was Crucified on Passover, which fulfils the requirement of the lamb. Its a little more variable, as you have noted Passover this year is separate from Easter by almost a full week. Take note of this. Read all the Gospels. It will tell
This Particular Passover is Unique as well. Because it has a bookend Shabat /Sabbath. So you have a hard cap time frame. Which then explains alot of the situation of burial etc. And these issues as people with the traditional view sometimes overlook because it does mess with item
Step by Step how this starts. Passover is generally 6-7 days. Our Passover this year started on the 9 goes till16. Due to sunset to sunset concept. So Yeshua 3 enters Jerusalem about six days before. Around "Palm Sunday."[Probably Saturday Evening of Previous Week] And our Donkey
But, here is an interesting angle, he sends two of his disciples to find lodging in Jerusalem. They follow a servant carrying a water jug. And this leads them to the Upper Room. Ironically the Upper Room is mentioned elsewhere. The Rebuilding of the Wall of Jerusalem. Translt vry
So Passover begins at sunset. So Yeshua 3 the 12 and any associates would have been in the Upper Room together. So their meal is done, You have Yeshua washing their feet. Which indicates the servant-king; but has an intriguing implication.Remember the removal of sandals holy grnd
But, also remember that the Jewish culture has the tradition of finding all the Hamez. [Yeast-Dirt-Sin] Etc. So by the 12 coming into the place, proably after a ritual cleaning which was commonly practiced they still were bringing in dirt. It takes one who can wash away. 🤔
The concept of Yeshua3 literally the God-man. King-Priest. Literally becoming a servant to those who should have known and shown the brotherly hospitality and love to one another, to bring them closer together. That moment probably remained for rest of life.
Then we have the meal, which is the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Probably not Matza as we know it. Probably some sort of flatcake, probably not unlike Tandoori Naan Bread. Or a tortilla. [Ironically it is a substitute used from time to time when the Matza can't be found. TexMex🤣]
You have Judas Iscariot who gets the piece of bread dipped in a sauce, as the marker of betrayal. Ironic because it seems no one at the moment even mentions outrage. Probably they were still haggling over who would be at the side of Yeshua3 in heaven. 😒
Interestingly Judas is noticed to be the treasurer for the group. Probably filching things from it too. And he gains the princely sum of 30 pieces of silver. Which ironically is another price for redemption. However, later he commits suicide and his blood money buys potters field
Yeshua and Company then leave the Upper Room. Remember this is after sunset. So technically it is a new day. So he is in the Garden Praying, while his Disciples are catching Zzzzs. Then we have the Temple authorities coming to collect him and Judas betrays with a kiss, a custom🤔
You have Peter lopping off an ear, ironically purchased at the instruction of Yeshua. Sell your cloak and buy a sword. And for that cloak they get two swords. Ironic eh? Kind of clashes with the Hippie version we get. Glossed over. However contrast this with Acts Stories. 🤔
So Yeshua3 is carried off first to the house of Ananias father in law to Caphias. Remember John the Baptist? John was the last Aaronite High Priest, his baptism of Yeshua3 transferred [as was custom to transfer high priesthood] the high priesthood to Yeshua3. Melchizedek Order🤔
Ironically Ananias and Caphias are not of the lineage of Aaron. They belong to the sect of Sadduccees on top of this to boot. And even further more Ananias was running the money changers in the temple! So think having a meeting with the Godfather in dead of night! Interesting Eh?
The Sadduccees are mentioned only once in the gospels, and it is a total flat rejection from Yeshua3. Because they are religious, but not following the dictates and heart of what God requires. However, Pharisees are corrected, and chastitized repeatedly. Those you love you corrct
But, you will notice something here. Something interesting. The Sanhedrin is breaking a key construct of the law. The books of the law Leviticus/Deut/Numbers layout how the Hebraic civilization [Hebrew Republic to our Founders] was to be run. Note the instructions about the court
There is a very specific rule in the law about the courts and the judges and elders to hold major meetings in daytime, in the open, and in the gates of the city. An area of high public traffic and visibility mind you. Not enclosed inside a building far from public view and night!
So the leaders begin basically a Kangaroo Court on Yeshua3. They use false witnesses, and fear of Roman Reprisal. Because the elite of Jerusalem were afraid of Insurrection since many of them were installed by the Herodian [Edomite] kingdom or the Romans "political maneuverings."
Hence why even you read that Caphias instructs that one man should die for the nation. Which then turns most of the Sanhedrin to the concept of killing Yeshua3. However, they do not want to be complicit in such actions. Makes you wonder about the disciples swords no? Assassinatio
However, during the whole trial period, there are Pharisees and elites who completely are against the actions taken by the Sanhedrin. And we can say Nicodemus for sure. Joseph of Arametha another. Gamaliel possible. Since his actions in Acts with the Apostles. [Ironic SPaul ]🤔
This action actually widens a rift inside the Jewish Community which then culminates in the Jewish Revolts and the Siege of Jerusalem. Yeshua3 is found "guilty" by virtue of blasphemy. And is trundled off to the Roman authorities. Now here is where it gets very interesting.
First he is sent to Pilate. And Pilate in examining Yeshua3 can't find anything of guilt. The ironic thing is how Yeshua3 says when asked by Pilate "Are you King of the Jews?" "You say, so." Note, the accusations brought up are perverting the nation and forbidding us to pay taxes
Follow the Money, always follow the money. Remember he told the people who tried to set him up in the Temple. Who should we pay? "Render unto Caesar what is Caesars, Render unto God what is God?" Interesting Pilate flips the script on the elites and mob. Not Guilty. So Romans Spy
But at the insistence, and the constant harping. They let it slip that Yeshua3 is from Galilee. Ironically Pilates jurisdiction is over Jerusalem proper, but Herod controls Judean country as a puppet king of Judea. He is also Edomite. Galilee has been thorn in their side. Rebels
He is sent to Herod, This Herod is same who killed John. Ironically he wants to meet Yeshua3 and ask questions. But think on this. He never did meet all those years while Yeshua3 was out and about. But we know there was followers of Yeshua3 in his household mentioned specifically
And we see that Herod questions Yeshua3 at length. But Yeshua3 gives him not an answer. Interesting, probably something to be said for Herod being versed in his puppet kingdoms subjects and their religious background would he not know? Understand that for a moment. Consider.
Ironically Herod recognizes that Yeshua3 is innocent as well. I have to wonder if the contempt and mocking was a political show to get the religious elite off their backs. And you can see the needling they did when Herod puts an elegant robe on Yeshua3 before sending him back. 🤔
Note this. From this day forward Pilate and Herod became friends, instead of enemies as they were once before. Consider this situation. These two rulers with all their power, influence, money, and spies. Both knew Yeshua3 was innocent. And had contempt for the elite of Judea.
Remember days leading up to his Crucifixion and even during his march to Crucifixion Yeshua3 is telling of the destruction of Jerusalem for it rejecting its Messiah when he came. Interestingly the crucifixion of Yeshua3 is not only the fulfilling the salvation of mankind.
The Year of the Cross is the beginning of the lit fuse of the destruction of the old order as it was understood even to this day. Shortly after this time. In less than 30 years. Jerusalem was Sacked during the Jewish Revolts. Every prophecy came true. And not just Yeshua3, Micah!
That fuse is still burning mind you. It is still burning. The slow burn to Armageddon. Began at the day of the Cross.
Now, understand this. Yeshua3 is crucified at the same time the Passover Lamb was slain. He expires freely at Mid Day! The Romans were later trying to speed up the process [aka break legs] but found him dead. Crucifixion is a slow agonizing death. And you have the spear into side
Cursed is the Man who Hangs on a Tree. The penultimate punishment you will see over and over again in Old Testament. And not lost with the Crucifixion. And normally the body is to be disposed of without honor, cast out. But in Yeshua3 Case it is special. The Cursed One is Buried
He took the Sin/Curse on himself. He is buried with the Rich. He is put in Joseph of Aramethas tomb. His own tomb, not even used! And it is hurried because everything has to be stopped because Sabbath. Preparations for Sabbath etc before sunset. So buried very fast without proper
The story of Joseph of Arametha is also of interest. Note even though he is off hand mentioned. He is noted as a righteous man, who was on the Council. Who went against everything they had planned. He was waiting expectantly for the kingdom. Think on this.
His actions in going to Pilate, and asking for the body of Yeshua3 is interesting. Because Pilate after all the insanity of the Judean elite and religious authorities. Gives him an audience and gives him his request. Probably understanding after Joseph tells him his stance.
Pilate is a tragedy in many ways. A Secular Ruler, who knows what is right and wrong, but has his hands tied by power, influence, and mob rule. Because of his trying to constantly placate the masses, it ends becoming the seed for the Jewish Revolts later.
Add in the crossing stories. Remember there is this constant reference of a Centurion in these stories. I would not be remiss if it was Cornelius all along, however, it could be fully possible that there were many Centurions who interacted with Yeshua3. And Simon of Cyrene
You also have an inference due to the stature of Gamaliel in Acts, that SPaul who was his student would have been in Jerusalem at the time of the crucifixion. Because we have the story of the Pharisees finding one Disciple and making him Twice the Son of Hell. And SPaul top clss
You can also understand due to the Roman Soldiers, Traders, Foreign Dignitaries, religious pilgrims, various people from other far off lands, that a good chunk of humanity Jew and Gentile saw or are descended from one who witnessed the crucifixion. So we are all in on it!
