How come good Friday is only two days from Easter Sunday?

Shalom 1stcenturylady, good to see you. You know, when I was being held in confinement, I did tell the powers that be that you were one I respected, [Staff edit]. Anyway, good to have you here.

The "appointed time/season" for killing the Passover according to the Old Covenant is at the setting of or the going down of the sun on the 14th day of the 1st month:


Leviticus 23:5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] Yahweh's passover.

Numbers 28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the passover of Yahweh.

Numbers 9:2-3 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at it's appointed season. In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in it's appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

Numbers 9:13 But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of Yahweh in it's appointed season, that man shall bear the sin.

So you can see here 1stcenturylady, the appointed time of killing the lamb must be "at even" on the 14th day of the 1st month, according to the Old Covenant, and IF one does not bring this offering at it's appointed time/season, then one shall bear the consequences of their sin. Blessings in The Name, ImAHebrew.

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

There was NO mention of any lamb at the last supper. Yeshua was to be that lamb so no lamb was needed at that meal.

But, just as the Sabbath begins on Friday evening, so then the evening of the 14th would have been the 13th. To eat the lamb on 13th, when did they kill the lamb? Is there any scripture on the killing, as opposed to eating?

Jesus was still alive so that symbolism is mute at that certain point. The supper would have been as always, which means lamb meat was included. I believe they were all to stand and eat, which seems to not be the case any longer among Jews. I could be wrong.

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

Really? Wonder why then when Yohanan saw Yeshua he said..."Behold The Lamb Of God"!

1stcenturylady said:

Of course, no question that Jesus is the lamb of God. But when the disciples prepared the supper, at that time it would have included the foreshadowed lamb, as they would have done every year before.

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

Not THAT year...Yeshua would be The Lamb. It was not foreshadowed, it was being fulfilled!

1stcenturylady said:

Jesus asked the disciples to prepare the supper. But why would they just supply bread and wine when they didn't realize this was the LAST supper?

But, you are right in that the most important part of that meal was the introduction of what should be in the future - unleavened bread and grape wine.

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

Bread and wine was customary at every festive meal. A blessing of sanctification (Kiddush/Motzi) is said over them.

Shalom 1stcenturylady, the lambs were killed at the evening of the 14th as the 15th was ready to start and the eating was to be on the 15th. You can see this by the Exodus as they killed the lambs at the evening of the 14th, with staff in hand, sandals on their feet, and their loins girded, they ate in haste (Exodus 12:11). They departed that night (after midnight-Exodus 12:29, Exodus 12:31, Exodus 12:42, Deuteronomy 16:1, ) on the 15th day (Numbers 33:3), after they had eaten the Passover in haste. Hopefully this helps. Blessings in The Name, ImAHebrew.

But wasn't it you who said that was all they served? No lamb?

If the eating was to be on the 15th, I presume in the evening, how could the next day be a High Day?

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

No, there was a meal, but no lamb.

The 15th was the 1st day of ULB

1stcenturylady said:

Is that the teaching of the Eastern Orthodox, you just you?

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

It is Scripture.

1stcenturylady said:

It is an interpretation of the absence of scripture. So I repeat without the typo, is this belief that no lamb was served at the Last Supper that of Eastern Orthodox, or just your interpretation?

Yeshua HaDerekh said:

Well I will ask you, why WOULD there be lamb and how could there be since Yeshua was killed with them???
