Resurrection Sabbath: The Evidence

[Yeshua HaDerekh]

Every Sabbath occurs seven days after the previous Sabbath. From Sabbath to Sabbath, week by week, and it so happens Nisan 13 is on a Sabbath exactly 24 weeks after the Sabbath on Tishri 23 in John 7 to 9. That would rule out a Wednesday crucifixion or Thursday crucifixion. The Sabbath of the year of the crucifixion would be Nisan 16 if the crucifixion fell on a Thursday. But exactly 24 weeks after Tishri 23 is a Saturday and it is Nisan 13. However, if the new moon crescent was spotted late twice in that six month period then Saturday could be Nisan 15, which would bode well for the Friday crucifixion. For a Thursday crucifixion to be viable it would require the new moon crescent to be spotted late all three times the months had 29 days. It is not impossible, but highly improbable.

We know it was not on a Thursday by the eyewitness account on the road to Emmaus. Depending if you use inclusive or exclusive counting. However, since we know what method the Bible uses, the crucifixion would fall on that Friday with the resurrection on Sunday.

Interesting. So you are promoting that from Friday night at sundown, to Sunday morning "while it was yet dark", 3 days, and 3 nights had passed, and the Sabbath of First Day of Unleavened bread (24 hours) had passed, and the purchase and preparation of Spices and ointments had passed, and the Weekly Sabbath, (24 hours) had also passed. And why? To support the views of the Council of Niciah that God just coincidently rose His Son on the same Day ancient Pagans celebrated the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility called " Eostre, or Eostrae?

I think it's good to question this man-made high day, just as it is good to question the "SAME religious philosophers", who also promote that the day God brought forth His Prophesied Priest, the Messiah, was also just coincidently fell on another Pagan high day celebrating the winter solstice.

From my study, it's much simpler and easier to determine what day the Christ, "of the Bible" rose from the dead. Since the day, for Jews of that time certainly, starts and ends at sundown, which is confirmed by the Faithful's insistence to put HIM in His Grave before sundown.

The Messiah was tried and crucified on a Wednesday, and taken down and placed in the "heart of the earth" before Sundown on Wednesday Evening, Wednesday being Passover, which is not a Sabbath, according to Scriptures. Thursday, the First day of Unleavened bread was the Sabbath the Faithful did not want to bury their dead on. Friday, the faithful went to the markets, which were open, as it was not a Sabbath, and purchased ointments and spices and prepared them for the anointing of the dead Body of the Christ. Friday night, at sundown, began the Weekly Sabbath, and the faithful honored God in its observance. At sundown on Saturday Night, at the dawning of the new Day, the faithful went to the Grave, "While it was yet dark" and in all 4 accounts, Jesus had already risen from the dead.

Pretty much all translations, though they vary a little in detail, promote this same storyline.

This would make the timeline as follows.

Wednesday. Tried and crucified, and buried just before sundown. This would start the clock of 3 days and 3 nights.

Thursday, The Sabbath of the First Day of Unleavened Bread. No spiced purchased, not markets open, not trip to the grave.

Friday, Day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath, markets are open, spices are purchased, and prepared.

Saturday, Weekly Sabbath, no markets open, no visit to the Grave until Sundown as the First Day of the Week began.

Sunday, in the wee hours of the morning, while it was yet dark, they come to the Grave, and HE was already gone.

Wed eve. to Thur. Eve = 1 day and 1 night.

Thur. Eve to Fri. Eve = 2 days and 2 nights.

Fri. Eve. to Sat. Eve = 3 days and 3 Nights.

Jesus would have risen from the Grave on Saturday Evening, just before Sundown, 3 days and 3 nights exactly from the time HE was placed in the grave. Just as the Messiah Himself proclaimed.

Matt. 12: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

For me, a nobody who left all organized religion almost 30 years ago now and have studied apart from their religious influence, (as much as is possible in this world) I can tell you that if it wasn't for the Catholic tradition of Easter, if all I had was the Holy Scriptures, and the Testimony of the Messiah, I would never conclude from Scriptures, that Messiah was crucified and buried on Friday, and raised at sunrise on Sunday Morning. The Scriptures don't even imply such a thing, in my view.

A truly fascinating testimony of the power of this world's religious tradition, over, as Mr. Gregg pointed out, "what Scripture actually says".

Certainly a good subject to discuss and understand, though quite contentious given the religious traditions associated with it..

I am not questioning scripture, you are. Yeshua also said "in 3 days". Also, within Judaism, any part of a day can be counted as the full day. We also know how counts were understood in scripture, inclusively. Mr. Gregg, as I have shown, is wrong. Your scenario has huge holes in it. It is impossible to get that count from the witnesses account on the road to Emmaus. It is actually not even debatable. Lastly, I keep Pascha, not "Easter". The winter solstice is on Dec 21st, not the 25th. IMO, it was more likely picked because Greek Jews kept Hanukkah on Kislev 25 and it was misunderstood as Dec 25th.

Nope. The yamin haqatan are abbreviated days and are both day and night at the same time because Yonah was in the belly of a living creature and it was completely dark even though it was daytime.

Hi DAQ, Can you tell me what the yamin haqatan are? I tried to Google it but with no success. If I lived in a basement where it was dark for three days and three nights would that mean since it was dark for me for that time period does that mean the three days and three nights don't count?

It has been explained several times over. Those who observe the sacred calendar day and prayer times of the Kohanim will have a much easier time understanding the abbreviated days.

Zechariah 4:10 KJV
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

כי מי בז ליום קטנות

This is not "day of small things", but rather, (For who has shown contempt) leyom qetannot, (For who has shown contempt) "for the little day", "for the small day", or more correctly, "for the abbreviated day", "for the shortened day".

It is about the sacred calendar day in the opening creation account, which is seven yamin in a yom in the yom wherein YHWH Elohim made Earth and Heavens: again, these are the same yamin of Daniel the Prophet, (final nun for a specific reason, see Dan 12:13 wherein the final word in Sefer Daniel is hayamin, with a final nun, הימין, meaning it is of a special significance and import which is surely neither an error nor an Aramaic influence in the text).

Shalom @daq -

I have read through this thread several times and I have a wealth of queries. I have seen your work and the care you take in your studies and have come to trust your insights. So, I would start by asking the following: How does this OP square with the Zadikim calendar, Vis-à-vis, Roman Day-Of-Week designations found herein? I am asking for Day of Week numbers and how they align with the 'beginning of months' instruction of Torah - for clarification's sake.

There are many reasons I ask. First there are many persons in this discussion that resort to DOW names and (elsewhere throughout the fora) that resort to Roman, Persian, Greek, Canaanite, etc., day, month or event names, as if they where prefectly acceptable. These names are based on false deities that Yeshua and His talmid would never utter - for fear of transgressing Torah and insulting and provoking Elohim! Therefore, we should endeavor to follow the Master's example, correct?

For instance, Luke uses '1st day' or '6th month' calendrical references. Indeed, I cannot find an example of any of them using these abominable utterances and I believe this practice of substituting DOW numbers with names also introduces the potential for errors in understanding the plain meaning of the text. I would be very grateful for your help in understanding how these calendars align, among a number of other queries I'll reserve for after.

Todah!

Salom-Peace my friend. I perceive the names given in the opening creation account to be sufficient and relevant for both the sacred calendar day, (seven hours), and likewise the more commonly accepted full week of full days, (seven days), because the sacred calendar day is the pattern for every other greater increment of time used in the scripture.

Thus we have Yom Ehad, Yom Sheni, Yom Shelishi, Yom Rebii, Yom Hamishi, Yom haShishi, and Yom haShebii, (Yom haShabbat). See what I mean? These numerical designations work either way, with hours, days, and even millennial epochs of thousand-year days.

However, regarding the original information in the OP and what ensued, there are some assumptions that are not so surely correct as some may have made them out to be.

Herein is some of the evidence from Luke which most translators appear to stumble over:

Luke 5:17
17 και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων και αυτος ην διδασκων και ησαν καθημενοι φαρισαιοι και νομοδιδασκαλοι οι ησαν εληλυθοτες εκ πασης κωμης της γαλιλαιας και ιουδαιας και ιερουσαλημ και δυναμις κυριου ην εις το ιασθαι αυτον

What in the world is "μια των ημερων" ??? !!! ???

That says (in) "one of the days", and it is employing mia, the same as used for the numeral one in the OP passage and most other places concerning the same or similar topics, Mrk 16:2, μιας σαββατων (T/R), μια των σαββατων (N/A), Luk 24:1, μια των σαββατων (N/A-T/R), Acts 20:7, μια των σαββατων (N/A-T/R).

Are the days mentioned here the days of the week? as in day one of the seven days of the week? That is the only way I myself have been able to make sense of it: this appears to be a variation of Ehad beShabbat but instead of using Greek sabbaton for Shabbat it is using hemeron.

See Meyers Commentary linked below this quote:

"The expression ΜΊΑ ΣΑΒΒΆΤΩΝ corresponds exactly to the Rabbinical mode of designating the days of the week: אחד בשבת, Sunday; שני בשבת, Monday; שלישי בשבת, Tuesday, and so on."

Matthew 28:1 Commentaries: Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

biblehub.com

The problem with Meyer's assumption, (and many others following Lightfoot's work), is that just because μια των σαββατων or μια σαββατων corresponds to the Rabbinical mode of designating the days of the week does not mean that σαββατων may suddenly be understood as a week in these cases where we find this/these critically contested phrase(s) in the Greek scriptures. Thus the OP was most likely correct in this regard but he was missing the sacred calendar day: for because each and every sacred calendar day has seven yamim-hours in each yom-day, every full day of the week therefore has a Shabbat, the seventh hour daily Shabbat. This is why I believe the OG LXX employs plural forms for the weekly Shabbat in every instance, (I have not found one place where it is singular), and this is because the weekly Shabbat is full of little Shabbat hours throughout the entire day because it is the full day of the Shabbat, the seventh day of the week. Look up the masculine plural form in the OG LXX and you will find that it always speaks of the weekly Shabbat because the daily Shabbat hour is a secret of the Kohanim and those who rendered the Torah portions of the LXX were most likely all Kohanim, (despite what the legends about it might say).

Exodus 20:8 KJV
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exodus 20:8 OG LXX
8 μνησθητι την ημεραν των σαββατων αγιαζειν αυτην

"Remember the day of the Sabbaths"...

What is the day of the Shabbatot or Sabbaths? The only way to truly understand it is by going small, down to the increment of an hour: for every hour of the weekly Shabbat is like a little Shabbat hour because the whole day is the weekly Shabbat, thus every hour of the day in that day is a mini-Shabbat hour.

The Gospel of Luke also carries this over into the Brith Hadashah:

Luke 4:16 T/R
16 και ηλθεν εις την ναζαρετ ου ην τεθραμμενος και εισηλθε κατα το ειωθος αυτω εν τη ημερα των σαββατων εις την συναγωγην και ανεστη αναγνωναι

Luke 4:16 N/A-W/H
16 και ηλθεν εις ναζαρα ου ην τεθραμμενος και εισηλθεν κατα το ειωθος αυτω εν τη ημερα των σαββατων εις την συναγωγην και ανεστη αναγνωναι

Luke 4:16
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and according to his custom, he went into the synagogue in the day of the Shabbatot, and stood up to read.

Day is singular while Shabbat is plural: it is no doubt the weekly Shabbat in the above passage.

Your linguistic skills far outpace my own. And Google translate leaves a lot to be desired. While I follow what you are saying about the creation account in very general terms, where (or perhaps more accurately how) you derived those names would require a little more detail. I'm sure I have read some of this before, but I lack the necessary framework to internalize and memorize the information. I'm also questioning my memory more as I age. Perhaps if you would be a little more granular in your explanation of the origin of those names. I'm a little lost.

Sure: those are the names of the days in the Hebrew text.

For example, Yom Eḥad:

Genesis 1:5 KJV
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Genesis 1:5
5 And Elohim calls the light Yom, and the darkness He calls Laylah: and there is evening, and there is morning, Yom Eḥad.

The names I used in the previous post concerning the creation days are simply the Hebrew terms directly transliterated into English, the second day is called Yom Sheni, the third day is called Yom Shelishi, and so on and so on.

But look what happens when you read the text for what it actually says concerning the meaning of Yom: Elohim does not call the light "Day", no, He calls the light "Yom", and therefore Elohim Himself says that Yom is Light, (and this is spoken Word creation, His Word is Light).

Therefore, whenever Yom is used as an increment of time, it may be any increment of time that is employed within the boundaries and limitations of the scripture, depending on each individual context and depending on one's understanding of scripture doctrine concerning such matters.

For example the civil calendar day is twelve hours, and this is taught in BaMidbar-Numbers 7, and therein the first hour of the civil calendar day is not called Yom Eḥad but rather Yom haRishon, (Num 7:12), and this is because the sacred calendar day of seven hours is embedded within the civil calendar day of twelve hours.

Note what is said: the twelve princes offered the qorban for their tribes each prince in his own DAY, in the DAY wherein the altar was anointed: thus it cannot be "Day" but rather, as it says, Yom, for that is the only way to have twelve yom in a yom: the twelve are the twelve yom-hours of the one full yom-day wherein the altar was anointed.

Numbers 7:10-12 KJV
10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
12 And he that offered his offering the first day [Yom haRishon] was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:

Moreover the first hour of the civil calendar day is the hour of tribe Yhudah, and Yhudah means Praise, so the first hour of the civil calendar day, Yom haRishon, being the hour of tribe Yhudah, is therefore the hour of praise! (in the Lion of the tribe of Yhudah to the glory of the Father).

This is why I post the image file of the dial so often, (though not so much recently), for it is a good way to visually explain how and where the sacred calendar day fits into the civil calendar day, each and every day, according to the prayer times which also correspond to the oblations.

Thank you beloved Moreh, I understood by the first paragraph. For some reason, it just wouldn't click. I suspect the two bouts of heat exhaustion and a lingering intestinal bug have made me a little slower on the uptake. I'm sure my memory was damaged by our know-it-all pharmaceutical-owned healthcare industry here in the USA, but that is another story.

I was looking at words I knew intimately, but not recognizing them. Absolutely maddening! Your help and a little sleep and nutrition seems to have broken the proverbial logjam. Many thanks!

I was looking at words I knew intimately, but not recognizing them. Absolutely maddening! Your help and a little sleep and nutrition seems to have broken the proverbial logjam. Many thanks!

No worries, I can vouch for you as I do remember the sharpness you once had, and I was surprised that you did not remember those names in your response, for I was sure you would have known them.

By the way, that sundial image for the civil and sacred calendar days in my previous post is very simply just the pattern. Once a person gets the pattern down it applies to any schedule, any day, day or night. For example, say you have a schedule were you work nights, and you get up around 4PM each day to get ready for work or start the day. When you awaken, that is the first hour of the civil calendar day, Yom haRishon, and the pattern commences with Yom haRishon.

That way you are not in bondage to a sundial or sundial time, and neither are you serving the beggarly elements of the sun and moon which are not gods, (Deut 4:19, Gal 4:7-9), for in the new creation holy city there is no need for the light of the sun or the light of the moon, (Rev 21:23-25, Rev 22:5).
