Proverbs 21 v 31~ The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
Oh, that makes me think of the one enemy that terrified the Romans. A case of "Commander our legions are being attacked by them, we outnumber them 4 to 1." So, the Roman commander orders, "Only 4 to 1? Retreat, maybe some of us can survive"
I believe you're grossly and disastrously misinformed. Show me what kind of army fits the description of those locusts, plz. Show me any kind of horseman that can breathe fire. What more closely fits this description is drones or other automatic weapons of war, not infantry.
Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
‘On the fourteenth day of the first month (Nisan 14) is the Passover of the Lord. And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days. On the first day (Nisan 15) you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work." (Num. 28:16-18)
Nisan 15 is the "high sabbath", it doesn't have to be a regular sabbath on Saturday.
True, but calculations can be made to determine if it did. But I know of no plausible year where that was the case in the early 30's CE. Therein lies the issue.
Therefore no one knows the exact time. You think you've figured it out, but you're wrong. Good Friday is just Catholic tradition based on a misunderstanding of "high sabbath".
Except the gospel accounts do not clearly reference which day things were, and as a Galilean, Jesus might well have followed the unofficial calendar which was two days off from the official calendar. That would mean that the Last Supper on Wednesday was a Passover meal and the official Passover began on Friday evening.
Remember, enters Jerusalem with palms waving on Sunday, curses the fig tree on Monday, the fig tree is withered on Tuesday, disciples are told to make arrangements for the Last Supper on Wednesday, and the meal sounds a lot like a Passover Feast.
Unless you can find calculations to support your dating, I am not interested in your attempts to get around the problem. I am aware of it and some who support it, but the dates do not fit when all the factors are brought in, at least not for any year in the early 30's that I know of.

The gospel accounts may not be clear, the dates of the feasts in the OT are crystal clear - Nissan 10, Lamb Selection; 14, Passover; 15, Unleavened Bread. If Jesus got the date wrong, then he was not the messiah. You demand calculation, see the underlined part below. Please note that a Jewish calendar day starts and ends at 6 pm, each also consists of 12 hour night and 12 hour daytime, and Jesus prophesized to rise on the third day, i.e. within the third 12-hour daytime, which means three whole 12-hour nights, since night proceeds daytime. To fit this, it could only be Thursday.
Also, in Dan. 9:24-27, the Messiah is cut off in the "middle of the week". Although this prophesy is usually interpreted as 490 years of restoration, there could be a double fulfillment, so that the Messiah is cut off not only in the middle of the last seven years, but also in the middle of a week, which would be Thursday.
The Prophecy of Jesus in Matthew 12:40
In Matthew 12:40, Jesus predicted that He would be in "the heart of the earth" for three days and three nights, just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish. A Friday crucifixion struggles to fit this timeline—it allows for parts of three days, but only two nights. A Thursday crucifixion, however, provides the full three days and three nights that Jesus spoke of, from Thursday evening to Sunday morning.Calculating the Timeline: Thursday Crucifixion
A Thursday crucifixion means Jesus was buried on Thursday evening, which counts as the first night. Friday was the first day, followed by Friday night, Saturday day, and Saturday night. Jesus then rose on Sunday morning, fulfilling the "three days and three nights" prophecy literally. Understanding this timeline allows us to take Jesus' words at face value, without needing to reinterpret the phrase symbolically or stretch the meaning of "three days." This literal fulfillment also reinforces the credibility of Jesus' words and the consistency of biblical prophecy.rewriter,
have you ever looked into God's calendar?
4 BC, 27 AD, 31AD are all what I call double Sabbath years. DSY are when Passover is on a Wednesday, the Feast of Trumpets 7/1, the First day of the Feast of Tabernacles 7/15 and the Last Great Day 7/22, all fall on the 7th day Sabbath.
Christ was born on 4 BC -- DSY
the 3 1/2 years of confirming the New Covenant began on the Feast of Tabernacle when Christ turn 30 years a -- DSY
Christ died at 3 PM, a Wednesday, on 1/14/31 AD a -- DSY
Born on 7/15/4 BC died on 1/14/31 AD --- exactly to the day --- 33 1/2 years old.
here is a calendar site
look into this,
Passover is on 1/14, the following day is the First day (1/15) of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which is a High Sabbath, not a 7th day Sabbath.
5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.
6 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. 7 In the first day (15th) ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Christ was resurrected on the Day HE made Holy, the 7th Day Sabbath, not the first day of the week which was never HOLY.
Oh wow
My brother
That's a serious attack on a whole denomination
If you seriously believe this
You ought to pray
Please my brother
Put down your stones and walk away
I am not arguing with you about the appropriate dates of the Passover, I am asking you for evidence, not supposition, that the historic calendar conforms with your claims. In what year in the early 30's did 14 Nissan fall on a Thursday. No other explanations need be provide as long as you can provide supported proof of your dating. Most of what you wish to offer is potential support of your theory, but potential support is not actual support, it is fluff supporting more fluff, or biblically put, building on a foundation of sand. It just does not hold up.
Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit in the womb, not at His baptism.
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit." (Matt. 1:20)
It is Friday that doesn't hold up according to the biblically appropriate dates, Thursday does. My proof of dating is the specific dates ordained by God in the bible itself. The exact year is not for us to know, what is for us to know is the signs Jesus taught in the Olivet Discourse.
The exact year does matter though. There has to be time for all of what Jesus is recorded as having done. Pilate has to be willing to be pushed around by the temple hierarchy. There are any number or details that must be met in addition to your desire to see certain recorded words to be fulfilled. Was the Last Supper a Passover feast or are all the records that imply such a lie?
It was and it wasn't. It was technically held on Passover on the Jewish calendar day of Nissan 14, such a day starts and ends at 6 pm; it wasn't according to our time, which starts and ends at 12.
