Subject:       Re: Time Line of Yeshua's Crucifixion, Burial & Resurrection

I have to agree with the Wednesday Crucifixion.  For one thing if Jesus was
crucified on Thursday that would mean that there would have been back to
back Sabbaths.  The high Sabbath on Friday, then the weekly Sabbath.  There
was no way that the women could have bought the spices to annoint His body.
 They were observant Jews and there would have been no place for them to
buy the spices even if they did break the Commandment.  Yeshua DID say that
He would rise in three days-72 hours.  That means He died on Wednesday at
3:00 and rose on Sabbath at 3:00.  The women came early (I believe still
Saturday night early Sunday morning) to annoint His body and Yeshua had
already risen. 

I believe that our whole problem with not understanding the 
Wednesday crucifixion and Sabbath resurrection is cause by  a misunderstanding
That the Festival of First Fruits takes place during the week of Passover on
the day after the Sabbath, Sunday.  The Festival of First Fruits- Ha Bikkurim
is the same as the Festival of Shavout.  It does not take place within the
Passover week.  You can find this information in Leviticus 23.  During the
Passover week God told His people to begin to count fifty days starting
after the Sabbath.  I believe that He was talking about the High Sabbath. 

In Leviticus 23:10 the word firstfruits IS mentioned.  However, when you look up
the word in the Strong's IT IS NOT Ha Bikkurim, it is the word reshiyth ( #7225).
However, in Leviticus 23:17 after the fifty days were counted we find that the
Scriptures mentions another firstfruits.  This time it is the word bikkoor
(#1061).  There is a Festival of First Fruits-- Ha Bikkurim, it is also
known as Pentecost or Shavout.  I have ask three different Rabbi's when the
Festival of First Fruits takes place and all three say that it is the same
as Shavout.  I honestly believe if you take the time to study the Word of
G-d you will find that Yeshua WAS crucified on Wednesday and resurrected on
Sabbath.  
 
I urge everyone out there to study it for yourselves.  

Thankyou and Shalom!
