The Crucifixion Myth; Jesus Died on
a Wednesday!!
by Roy A. Reinhold
I was quite blown away recently to hear Hal Lindsey state on his
national radio program that he has come to believe that the
scriptures show a Wednesday crucifixion. Perhaps you ought to
examine the evidence and decide for yourself; be like the Bereans
who were complimented in scriptures for examining the teaching of
Paul in light of the scriptures to see if it was so. There is clear,
concrete evidence in the scriptures for a Wednesday crucifixion; you
be the judge.
3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH
One of the most common questions asked by new Christians is,
"How could Jesus have been in the heart of the earth for three days
and three nights if He died on a Friday afternoon and rose before
sunrise on a Sunday?" Most Christians duck the question,
since at most they can only come up with one day and two nights
(Friday nighttime, Saturday daytime, and Saturday nighttime in our
measure of days). If they add in the Friday daytime they get two
periods of daytime, even though Jesus would have died in the late
afternoon on a Friday. This late afternoon death is consistent with
the Passover lamb being killed between the two evenings of Jewish
teaching. The lamb was killed between 3 and 6 PM on the afternoon of
the 14th of Abib/Nisan and prepared, because the 15th was the first
day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was an annual Sabbath
observance (the first and last days of Unleavened Bread were annual
Sabbaths in addition to the normal weekly Sabbaths).
This search of
the Word is important, not because it affects salvation, but because
it answers the questions posed on whether Jesus kept His Word, and
whether the Bible is true in this matter. A legitimate concern and
question for all Christians!!
"In the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month at twilight is the Lord's Passover. Then on the
fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened
Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On
the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do
any laborious work. But for seven days you shall present an offering
by fire to the Lord. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you
shall not do any laborious work." Leviticus 23:5-8
