  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

He was nailed to the stake Wednesday afternoon as the sacrifice of the Passover lambs was happening in the Temple.

He died, was removed from the execution and placed in the ground just before sunset Wednesday afternoon...

Henaynei,

This irrefutable timeline no doubt comes as a surprise to many brothers and sisters in Yeshua, who indeed was crucified on a Wednesday not on a Friday.

Those Christians wishing to commemorate the Day of Resurrection and keep with the Jewish Festivals and ancient traditions may wish to observe Candle Lighting Saturday night to mark Yom HaBikkurim, the Festival of First Fruits. For the appropriate candle lighting time by Zip Code, click this calendar link.

Saturday night also begins S'firat HaOmer the countdown leading to the Holy Day of Shavuot, or Pentecost. Here is a blessing to say at the lighting ceremony:

Blessed art thou, O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has set us apart by your commandments and has commanded us to count the Omer.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. (1 Corinthians 15:20)

Shalom

Not a bad idea Toney :)
Those concerned with such things may want to note that it is not permitted to light a candle or other flame during the Sabbath/Saturday. When two Sabbaths run back to back you can not do the havdalah for the first nor can you do the candle lighting for the second.

However, in this case, since HaBikkurim is NOT a Sabbath, it is perfectly permissible to light a candle AFTER Havdalah/sighting of the first 3 stars Saturday night. Actually a Yahrtzeit candle would be very appropiate. You can usually find these in your grocery in the "kosher" section somewhere near their "ethnic" foods section. They are very inexpensive.

Here is some information from a Messiainc perspective re: HaBikkurim

This is also the beginning of the counting of the Omer (as noted by Toney above) - this is the first day of the 50 days of the commanded counting.

Sometimes in untangling one line of thought tangles up the other line. It is like working on a piece of string that got all knotted up...while you are working on one part the other part is getting tangled with the untanglings of the part you are working on. And you don't see it until you have another to untangle.

I appreciate all of your patience and kindness in addressing all these thoughts and Words of the Lord that I am trying to get clear in my own mind and I appreciate everything you have done to help me.

Shalom

Prophecy will become literal or it is not prophecy...so what are you thoughts on the two days and third day for us.
Not necessarily - in Daniel's phrophecy the Statue represented ages of political history - not a literal statue. In revelations days represent years, etc...

I will bow to others better versed in prophecy than I - as these days could be years, or millenia or.... but it seems fairly sure in the context that they are not literal consecutive 24hr days.
