I have heard from many christians over the yrs. that they were confused about why the church taught that Yeshua was crucified on friday.
As Matt. 12:40 states that Yeshua was 3 days and 3 nights in the earth, as Jonah was in the fish.
So of course, when you do the math, there is no way you can come up with 3 days and nights from friday to sunday morning.
Here is why the confusion. Since it is commonly taught in the church that the OT is pretty much done away with, including the 7 Feasts of YHVH, no one knows how they work.
Mark 15:42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath.
This has been the key reason why it is taught that Yeshua was crucified on friday. Because saturday being the weekly sabbath, it was assumed that He had to have died on friday.
Here is why the misunderstanding.
The Feast of Passover/Unleavened bread are one and first of the 7 feasts.
The first 24 hrs. is Passover, i.e. the meal, and sacrifice of the Passover Lamb which Yeshua became.
The first and last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are Feast sabbaths, to be treated as the same as a weekly Sabbath, also known as a Holy Convocation.
Exodus 12:16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat-that only may be prepared by you.
Lev. 23:7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.
Numbers 28:16 verbatim of Lev. 23:7
So how does this work and affect friday?
For everything to be correct, Yeshua would have had the Last Supper with the disciples on tues. evening. Then as we know He went to the garden to pray, taking along a few disciples, and where He was arrested. Through the night going from pilate, ciaphus, and by morning being condemned to die, brutally beatened and hung on the cross, by which as we know that afternoon He died. So from tues. @ sundown to wed. @ sundown was Passover. Before sundown wed. they took Him off the cross, for it was the preperation Day for the Sabbath of the first day of unleavened bread.
So wed. night, thurs. night, friday night. --Thurs. day, fri. day, and sat. day. 3 days and nights in the earth just as scripture says. For as some of us know and to those who don't, the day begins at sundown according to Genesis 1. It was evening and morning the first day, etc.
On sundown sat. night was the beginning of the first day of the week, and as scripture shows, when Mary went to the tomb it was the dawning of the first day of the week, and she found the stone already rolled away, and the tomb empty.
So, Yeshua at some time during the night of the first day of the week rose from the dead. And scripture all falls into place and makes the simplest of sense.
This is a prime example of why we need to know and read ALL of the Bible, for the church teaches everyone to start in the Brit Hadeshah (NT) and most do just that. For us to fully understand ALL of the NT, we have to know the foundation of ALL of the Word of YHVH, which is the Torah.
Hope you all enjoy this, Shalom
