JJesus said in -
Matthew 5-17
Do not think that I came to abolish the law of the prophets; I did not come
to abolish but to fulfill.
But traditional views of Christians teach that he did away with
the law. Its pervert what was meant by fulfilling the law. He fulfilled the
meaning in Passover. He will yet fulfill the meaning and the Feast of Trumpets.
He will begin fulfilling much of the meanings in the seventh-day
weekly Sabbath when he comes in the kingdom of God to rain on this earth during
the seven one-thousand-year period of man on earth. This is the time that the
Lord reigns with men and women on earth.
The Protestant & Catholic Church change the day of worship
from Saturday (Sabbath) to Sunday, which was really instructed by Roman leader
Constantine in 320 AD. Given the credence that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday.
But that was not the truth!
In Matthew 12:38-40,
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, teacher, we want to see a
sign from you. But he answered and said to them an evil and adulterous
generation craves for a sign, and yet no signs will be given to it but the sign
of Jonah the Prophet; for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the
belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth.
It is hard for scholars to squeeze that timeframe into the time
between Friday near sundown and Sunday morning when they say he was
resurrected.
A day is counted scripturally from sundown to sundown. Jews still
observe today. It is not from midnight to midnight as we do today.
But some scholars try to explain how Jesus could have said three
days and three nights, they resisted the truth, even when they know they are
wrong.
But most people in traditional Christianity are ignorant of these
matters because they are not taught the truth. On the contrary preachers stay
away from subjects like this one. For they do not even understand the whole
truth.
Their story is quite basic when people have only a little
understanding of certain scriptures regarding the seventh-day Sabbath and the
annual Holy days.
Let us look at the sequence of events that surround the death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ.
Mathews 27: 57-61
When it was evening, (this is the time we would call late afternoon. It was not
yet sundown, for at sundown is a new day). there came a rich man from Arimathea,
named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to
Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to
him. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linen cloth, and laid it
in his own new tomb, which she had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large
stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
And in Luke it says,
Luke 23: 50 - 54 ---Notice the parallel accounts- and a man named Joseph, who
was a member of the Council, a good and righteous men( he had not consented to
their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was
waiting for the Kingdom of God; this man went to Pilate and asked for the body
of Jesus. He and he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth and laid him in
the tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. It was the preparation
day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
So, Joseph, very clearly, was preparing the body of Jesus for
burial in his own tomb, before the Sabbath, which would begin at sundown. But
this was no ordinary Sabbath. It was not the seventh day Sabbath, as those in
traditional Christianity suppose, for that reason, they believe that Joseph put
Jesus in the tomb on Friday. An account in the book of John shows what kind of
Sabbath this was.
John 19:31-33 -- then the Jews, because it was the day of
preparation, so that the body would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for
the Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and
that they might be taken away. So, the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the
first man and the other who was crucified with him; but coming to Jesus, when
they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
This Sabbath was an annual High day- an annual Sabbath. It was the
first day of unleavened bread, and it is the day that follows the Passover day (the
day in which Jesus Christ died).
** Notice that God appointed times to events as mentioned in
Leviticus.
Leviticus 23: 4-7
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is
the LORD's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is
the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat
unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall
do no servile work therein.
The Passover was on the 14th day of the first month of God's holy
calendar.
This was the 14th of Abib. This is the same day Jesus Christ died.
He died in mid-afternoon on the Passover day. Passover is also a preparation
day, just like Friday is the preparation day for the weekly Sabbath. The 14th
can occur on different days of the week.
In the year Jesus Christ died, the Passover was on a Wednesday.
That Wednesday was a preparation day for the annual high day- annual Sabbath -
the first day of the feast of the unleavened bread. Jesus Christ was laid on
Wednesday, in midafternoon. Because the first day of unleavened bread (an
annual Sabbath--- a High day) was fast approaching, Joseph of Arimathea went to
Pilate to receive permission to take Jesus down and bury him in his own tomb.
He was able to bury Jesus just before sunset, just before the annual Sabbath
day began.
Three days and three nights take us through all night Wednesday
and most all day Thursday (1 full day), all night Thursday and most all day
Friday (2 full days), all night Friday and most of the day Saturday (3 full
days). (From Sundown to Sundown is 1 Day to the Lord (Yahweh).
This weekly seventh-day Sabbath day begin at sunset on Friday. Towards
the end of the Sabbath day, before sunset Saturday, exactly three days and
three nights from the time Joseph laid Jesus in the tomb, the true Jesus Christ
was resurrected.
Matthews 28: 1 -6
NOW after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week
(The first of week is called Sunday since it follows the Sabbath day which is
Saturday ) Mary Magdalene and the others Mary came to look at the grave. And
behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended
from the heavens and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his
appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guard
shook for fear of him and became like dead man. The angel said to the women, do
not be afraid for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
He is not here, for he has risen, just as he said. Come, see the place where he
was lying...
As you have just read Jesus did not come to change any laws but to
fulfill them.
Now, let me ask you a question?
Are we worshiping God on the day he requested the Sabbath day
which is Saturday? Because it is not Sunday, as it is stated in the Bible that
is the first day of the week!
Below are the 10 Commandment; read for yourself...
These are the 10 Commandment, that we need to honor our Lord
and keep his commandment.
The Ten Commandments: Exodus 20: 1-17
1. God said to the people of Israel - I am THE LORD your God, the
one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. Do not worship any god
except me.
2. Do not make idols that look like anything in the skies or on
the earth or in the ocean under the earth. Do not bow down and worship idols. I
am THE LORD your God and I demand all your love.
3. Do not miss use my name, I am THE LORD your God and I will
punish anyone who misuse is my name.
4. Remember that the Sabbath day belongs to me, you have 6 days
when you can do your work, but the seventh day of each week belongs to me, your
God.
((The meaning of Sabbath day is Saturday and if you look at your
calendar, the first day of the week starts on Sunday not Monday.))
5. Respect your father and your mother and you will live a long
time on the land I am giving you.
6. Do not murder
7. Be faithful in marriage
8. Do not steal
9. Do not tell lies about others
10. Do not want anything that belong to someone else, do not want
any one's house, wife or husband, or anything else.
Let us return to the truth! and make sure our Lord's voice is
heard!
Bless it be
