Easter, Passover, Jesus' death ,and the sign of Jonah

Jesus died in the afternoon on the day that he ate the passover[feast of unleavened bread],

the Jewish hierarchy however were keeping a false tradition and so this was [to them only] their day of preparation for the passover

and the next day was the false Jewish passover (annual festival)and so an annual 'sabbath' by false tradition of the Jews

this was inevitably the day when the women bought and prepared the spices ( having no respect to the false tradition exposed by Jesus by keeping passover the previous day to the Jews]

then was the weekly sabbath when the women rested

then was the early morning [still dark] when the tomb is discovered already empty

We also know there were two sabbaths that week because Matt 28:1 has 'sabbata' in the original Greek, mistranslated sabbath in the KJV, but it means SABBATHS (PLURAL!).

Thus counting back from the morning

(we would call it Sunday morning early, just before dawn)

we find that Jesus died on what we would call Thursday afternoon, not Friday at all

Thus the 3 days are Thursday till sunset, Friday till sunset, Saturday till sunset, and the three nights follow the days [Hebrew days start at sunset , not midnight, according as it is written]

so that Jesus rose 'Saturday' night which ended at dawn Sunday.

Thus , just as he said he would, Jesus was three days and three nights in the ground, and he kept the sign of Jonah {how could anyone doubt that he would keep this sign?]

but Easter is a celebration of pagan origin

[goddess Ishtar and Easter eggs are pagan traditions , nothing to do with God, the bible or Jesus Christ

...Easter is mentioned once in KJV but it is a mis-translation of Passover]

[Easter is not ordained by God at all but Passover certainly is!]

Easter makes our Lord out to have lied and been a fraud,

how can people celebrate it?

except by blindly following of a [apostasised church] pagan tradition without questioning and proving it

without thinking too much what they are doing or why,

following priests maybe in good faith who ,even if they know, are helpless to reform church traditions without risking losing their livelihood

- thus the abomination is perpetuated.

Read about passover, it is nothing like Easter.

All of the ritual of passover has been fulfilled by recorded history in the bible

so we are left with a meal with wine ,

an ANNUAL ceremony that Jesus said as often as we keep it we should do so in remembrance of him,

we are also instructed not to partake of it unworthily,

meaning that we must be ready to go through His trial, temptation, and unjust suffering for the sake of our faith and actions of love in the world, accepting our time of trial when it arrives [baptism of 'fire']

If we read about passover we can see clearly that all aspects of it point to Jesus' death,

ironically he was able to celebrate his own victory in death because the Jews had been blinded to the falseness of their tradition

[ by God,]

so they sacrificed the Lamb of God on the wrong day!

Dear Ed,
The word translated from the Greek as 'Easter' is the SAME WORD that is translated 'passover' 28 times {!} elsewhere, it is only once mysteriously mis-translated as 'Easter'

It makes me sad to see the churches stuck one more year in pagan tradition of easter, not celebrating Passover as Jesus did and said those worthy could do in remembrance of him, how can the churches have lost touch with the memorial of jesus Christ's death ???!!!

Jesus clearly told the disciples when to prepare Passover and ate it in the falsely re-named 'Last Supper' ONE DAY before the Jews ate theirs.... thus we have the real feast of unleavened bread on the same Hebrew day [from sunset Jerusalem] as the Jews false passover [it has to be unlikely that Jesus got it wrong, so it has to be the jews that made the mistake in dates by their tradition - that Jesus did speak against]

Very pretty, except you missed the fact that these are Hebrew-style days starting at sunset!
Thus Christ died on what we would call [falsely] Thursday afternoon and indeed rose the third day after spending three [Hebrew-style]days and nights in the tomb just as the bible says [but it can't be understood without realising the Hebrew context]

Another interesting point, Mark's gospel has been edited it seems to DENY the sign of Jonas [presumably to support Easter]
