Easter Sunday vs Bible recorded Resurrection Day

1st, let me say; any day/everyday is a good day to celebrate/rejoice the resurrection of our great God & Savior (Titus 2:13) Jesus the Chris!

Scripture proclaims: 2025 Jesus rose on Nisan 16 Jewish calendar = Monday April 14th Gregorian calendar.

The firstfruits wave offering a resurrection foreshadow: The feast of First Fruits takes place on the 16 th of Nisan (Joshua 5:11). For aprox 1500 years Israel practiced this resurrection foreshadow.

Christ was resurrected on the feast of firstfruits (Nisan 16/Jewish calendar = Monday April 14th Gregorian calendar 2025).

Firstfruits:
A bundle of 1st blossoms/sheaf/omer of the 1st grains/crop was gathered. The "high priest" (starting at the waist) lifted-up (over his head) & waved the sheaf before God. This action acknowledged God's participation & dedicated the coming wheat harvest to the Lord. This wave/offering before/onto the Lord, [sanctified the """entire field of harvest to come""" (Lev 23:9-12).

On the same day, a meat offering: fine flour mingled with oil = Unleavened Bread & a drink offering of Wine (Lev 23:13). The exact symbols Jesus taught us to remember His Sacrifice. Jesus our Bread of Life (Jn 6:48, 35, 51) & our faith in His shed blood that forgives/pardons our sins symbolized by the wine (Matt 26:28, Rom 3:25).

The sheaf/omer wave offering of the barley harvest begins a 50 day count down to Pentecost. Known as "counting of the omer" (Lev 23:15-17) connecting the 2 HARVEST feasts. An omer was a dry measure that amounted to a little over a gallon 1/2

Christ was RAISED-UP on Nisan 16. Setting the stage for the """entire human race to be resurrected""".

1 Cor 15:20 But now [as things really are] Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, [and He became] the first fruits [that is, the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible, immortal body, foreshadowing the resurrection] of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
(NOTE: Christ was the first to be RESURRECTED.)

Col 1:18 He is also the head [the life-source and leader] of the body, the [e]church; and He is the beginning, [f]the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place [He will stand supreme and be preeminent] in everything.

Everyone will be resurrected!

Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

1 Cor 15:
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
(PARSING: Christ raised 1st - Done)

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
(PARSING: Adams sin receives the death sentence, for himself & ALL humanity. Christ's sin payment will provide EVERY human that died to partake in a resurrection. Some thru faith in Jesus sin atoning payment & resurrection to eternal life with their creator God. Those that reject Christ's sin payment to eternal separation [2 Thes 1:9] from their creator God)

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(PARSING: Every body dies & EVERYBODY will be resurrected.)

Jn 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
(Parsing: ALL/everyone gets a chance to except or deny)

Jn 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

Jn 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

BTW Just after Jesus was raised many [the 144k at a minimum/maybe everyone in Abrahams bosom] were also resurrected (Matt 27:50-54). Jesus brings a firstfruit resurrection/harvest offering to the Father.

When Jesus physically returns His 1000 yr reign will begin Zec chapter 14, Rev 19:11-15, 20:1-8.

After the 1000 yrs comes be the White throne judgment (Rev 20:11). Here ALL that rejected God's offer of forgiveness until life's end/death, will be resurrected, judged for every sin committed, & will forever be separated from the Lords presents (2 Thes 1:9)

Believers (all sins judgment PAID by Jesus) will stand at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10). The discussion here is rewards, NOT, sin/judgment. Even a drink of water given in His name will receive a reward (Matt 10:22)

Revelation 22:12 Jesus said; behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Thank you for posting all these scriptures, it is a very nice review.

I would however point out that using the Jewish calendar today to tell us when Passover is does not make sense. According to the OT God divorced the Jews. These Jewish leaders who have this current Jewish calendar are the same ones who rejected Jesus Christ, the Messiah. They are without any doubt the definition of false prophets.

If we look at history we will see that they have adjusted their calendar on several occasions to fit with the nations where they lived. This is like trusting a witness who you know has lied blatantly and while under oath.

Logically, imagine if the rapture were on resurrection day? That would be a testimony to the whole world concerning Jesus. Granted, the west is on the Gregorian calendar and the East uses the Julian calendar, so they rarely ever celebrate this day on the same day. However, 2025 is the exception to the rule with both East and West celebrating Jesus' resurrection on the same day.

The reason God establishes Holy days is because they are a shadow of things to come. When Jesus was crucified as the lamb of God it had to be done on that day, according to that timeline as a testimony to all the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. If this had been any other day it would not have been a fulfillment of the prophecy that Jesus was the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

So is the rapture going to testify that the Jews who have been divorced and are being led by false prophets who rejected Jesus as the Messiah are the ones with the truth, or will it testify that Jesus is the truth, that no man comes unto the Father but by Him?

congratulations
Things I'd like to point out:

1st, let me say [AGAIN]: Any day/everyday is a good day to celebrate/rejoice in the resurrection of our great God & Savior (Titus 2:13) Jesus the Chris!

Kudos/thumbs up to anyone that celebrated the Lord Jesus' resurrection on April (EASTER) 20th or any other day.

2ndly, I passed posting this on the discussion boards & choose this (blog) format. If was an effort to avoid the thread hi-jackers, snipers & petty bickerers. Sadly, my choice failed miserably.


The blog doesn't claim NT believers must follow the feasts of the Lord. It doesn't claim anyone must do or believe any thing.


The blog doesn't claim Jesus didn't fulfil prophetic foreshadowing's of the Passover feast, HE DID!


The blog is scripture based information that places resurrection day, on April 14th 2025.


2 Timothy 3:16 (A) All Scripture is [a]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching,


BTW: Scripture does proclaim the Lord divorced Israel (Jer 3:8). However, you might want to read to verses 12,14,15,22, & especially verse 23.
(NOTE: Context is always key. Taking a verse out of context & trying to build a narrative, invariably, leads to doctrinal mis-interpretations.)

Having said that, the implication/notion that after the divorce, Israel is forever lost/forgotten & sent to the ash heap of history is a joke!

All Israel Shall Be Saved

Romans 11:25 I do not want you, believers, to be unaware of this mystery [God’s previously hidden plan]—so that you will not be wise in your own opinion—that a partial hardening has [temporarily] happened to Israel [to last] until the full number of the Gentiles has come in;

26 and so [at that time] all Israel [that is, all Jews who have a personal faith in Jesus as Messiah] will be saved; just as it is written [in Scripture], “The Deliverer (Messiah) will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”
(NOTE: Jacob is Israel!)

27 “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes
Zec 1:4
1 Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you (Jerusalem) will be divided in your midst.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured and the houses plundered and the women ravished; and half of the city will be exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
(NOTE: The Lord will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem, the capital of ISRAEL!)

3 Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
(NOTE: Just when Jacob/ISRAEL has NO HOPE. The Lord Himself will fight/deliver them!)

4 In that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from the east to the west by a very large valley, and half of the mountain will move toward the north and half of it toward the south.

5 You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; and you will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my [a]God will come, and all the holy ones (believers, angels) with Him.

God Will Be King over All
Zec 14:
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord shall be the only one [worshiped], and His name the only one.

10 All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon, [the Rimmon that is] south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain [lifted up] on its site from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 It will be inhabited, for there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.

12 Now this will be the plague with which the Lord shall strike all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.

13 In that day a great panic and dismay from the Lord will fall on them; and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other.

14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together—gold and silver and garments in great abundance.

15 So like this plague [on men] there will be the plague on the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the livestock in those camps.

16 Then everyone who is left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and celebrate the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles).
(NOTE: I WONDER WHICH CALENDAR THE LORD WILL USE DURING THIS MILLENNIUM KINGDOM REQUIRED FEAST?)

17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain on them.


Congratulations ZNP, you managed to high-jacked/derail this blog's focus, to celebrate the Lords scripturally recorded resurrection.


Peaceful Latter Days
1 Micah 4:But it shall come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the Lord Shall be established as the highest and chief of the mountains; It shall be above the hills, And peoples shall flow [like a river] to it.

3 And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for strong and distant nations. Then they shall hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks [so that the implements of war may become the tools of agriculture];Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Nor shall they ever again train for war.

4 Each of them shall sit [in security and peace] under his vine And under his fig tree, With no one to make them afraid, For the mouth of the [omnipotent] Lord of hosts has spoken it.

5 For all the peoples [now] walk Each in the name of his god [in a transient relationship], As for us, we shall walk [securely] In the name of the Lord our [true] God forever and ever.

8 “As for you [Jerusalem], tower of the flock [of Israel], Hill and stronghold of the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem’s inhabitants), To you the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the Daughter of Jerusalem [when the Messiah reigns in Jerusalem, and the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled].
