The Hoax of Good Friday

 
THE HOAX OF GOOD FRIDAY
 
 
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
 
Notice please that God placed the evening time period before the morning period. Today, we can not even leave the time periods the way God had ordained them in the beginning.  So very much of our current thought patterns and perceptions of what we read have been corrupted by the daily patterns of OUR life.  When we view our calendars each year and celebrate or hold in remembrance certain days as being special we accept just anything that we are taught BELIEVING that the ones that are teaching us know the truth.  For instance, without a birth certificate provided by the government, how can we even be sure of our own date of birth.
 
Every calendar that is printed each year that includes holidays and other special events indicates two days that are very significant.  These two days are EASTER and GOOD FRIDAY.  Easter is used to represent the day of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Good Friday is supposed to represent the day of his crucifixion and death upon the cross at Calvary.  The Word of God does NOT bear them witness.  The Word of God teaches us different; if we will take the time to discover what God is telling us.  God has preserved his very Word for us over the many thousands of years, and yet many of us will not take a couple of hours to discover the truth.
 
The word “Easter” is used only once in the King James Bible in Acts 12:4.  The original word was “pascha” and meant the passover and is often used to refer to all of the related activities of the week long Feast of Unleavened Bread.  The word “pascha” is always translated as “passover” except in this instance.  Why?  The name or word “Easter” originated from pagan religions and was the name of a pagan goddess who was worshiped at a festival that occurred, about the same time of our Lord’s resurrection, sometime after the first day of spring.  It was probably the Roman Catholic church that adopted the name easter and the holiday was rededicated to Resurrection Day or at least incorporated the two events into one to satisfy the multitude.  The current calendar system that we use is called the Gregorian calendar and is named after the person who developed it; Pope Gregory XIII  of the Roman Catholic church in 1582.  Just prior to the translation of our King James Bible in 1611.  “Good Friday” was designated as two days preceding Resurrection Day and we are taught that this was the day Christ was crucified.  The very names of the seven days of the week also represent different pagan gods that have been worshiped.  This particular scripture in Acts 12:4 was very carefully chosen, for it is the only time the passover is referenced after the gospels account of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.  By electing to use the word “Easter” here in this passage would indicate that Judaism may not be continuing the passover feast.  But including the Feast of Firstfruits to form a new Christian sabbath; or holiday by incorporating a pagan holiday into Christianity thus creating a form of Gnosticism.
 
There are many scriptures that reference the day that Christ was crucified and most if not all are included in a reference at the end of this document.  But all the scriptures clearly indicate that the day was THE PREPARATION DAY.  The preparation day was the day that the passover lambs were to be killed and prepared for the passover feast that night.  The Jewish 24 hour cycle started each sunset, from sunset to sunset.  This day was to be on the 14th day of the month of Nisan and the passover feast on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day of the month.  
 
There were regular weekly sabbaths and there are special sabbaths called high days.  The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a HIGH DAY and this day was also referred to as a sabbath, or high sabbath.  Today, the preparation day is always on the sixth day of the week, Friday, known as “Good Friday”.  The high day and the regular weekly sabbath are combined to commemorate the passover by our Jewish friends.  However, this was not always so.  In Leviticus chapter 23 we have many of the feasts and sabbaths given by God and they are compiled in a separate list at the end of this document.  Please notice that God stated very precisely the number of the day in the month for the passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, however, the Feast of Firstfruits is stated in an entirely different manner.  Firstfruits is specified in reference to the sabbath day that would always fall within the week of Unleavened Bread.  This day is also used to calculate the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost.  Firstfruits was thus determined to always be on the FIRST DAY of the week, or Resurrection Day.  The preparation day and the passover could fluctuate on different days of the week according to the particular year.  In order for the sixth day of the week to always be preparation day then the first day of the month of Nisan must always be on the last day of the week.  This could only occur if the Jewish year and months were divided into precise weekly sequences of equal number.  But the Jewish months were 29 and 30 days each to compose a year of 354 days, not an even number of weeks.  Could the preparation day have been on the sixth day of the week, Friday, using the Jewish calendar?  Possibly.  But it could not have been this particular year according to scripture.
 
Again there are many scriptures that reference the time period that our Lord Jesus was to remain buried before his resurrection.  All of these use three days in different manners.  But one scripture is very unique in that it is precise enough to allow a calculation for an hourly time period.  In Matthew 12:40 our Lord Jesus  plainly specifies “three days and three nights.”  These time periods are 12 hours each respectively.  We have three 12 hour periods of daylight and we have three 12 hour periods of darkness.  The total time is 72 hours.  Our Lord Jesus died and was buried at the end of the preparation day before sunset.  If the preparation day was on the sixth day of the week, Friday, then there would only be two periods of darkness and one period of daylight prior to sunrise after the regular sabbath on the first day of the week.  For a maximum of only 36 hours, half of the amount of time stated in Matthew 12:40.  The scriptures again very clearly indicate that Christ was resurrected on the first day of the week, for example in Luke 24:1 “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning.” Now we cannot change the resurrection; and the Feast of Firstfruits was always held on the first day of the week.  We must therefore conclude that Christ was NOT crucified on the sixth day of the week.
 
Then what day of the week would be required to agree with the scripture?  Counting backwards from the first period of darkness on the first day of the week, sunset of the sabbath day, allowing for this period of darkness at the dawn of the discovery, one 12 hour period.  Then the sabbath day, the last day of the week, one daylight and one darkness, 24 hour period.  Another period of daylight and one of darkness, another 24 hour period, prior to the sabbath or the sixth day of the week.  Then another period of daylight would be required of the fifth day of the week to total 72 hours.  However, it was sunset when Christ was removed from the cross and entombed in the rock sepulcher.  So then it must be the period of darkness prior to the daylight period on the fifth day of the week, or the beginning of the fifth day.  So then, the preparation day and the day of crucifixion would needed to be on the fourth day of the week, or Wednesday!  The crucifixion on the fourth day of the week would therefore agree with all scriptures accordingly.  
 
There are a few scriptures that relate the preparation day with the next day called a sabbath.  There would APPEAR to be a discrepancy here, however, in John 19:31, the apostle John specifies that the sabbath day here in question was an “high day” or the passover sabbath as it is often called and not the weekly sabbath on the last day of the week that can be easily confused.
 
An additional chart is also provided that relates the four Gospels to certain events during the time period of the crucifixion before the last supper on through the resurrection.  This chart starts with the preparation for the passover meal.  If one is not careful in considering these first scriptures another discrepancy might appear.  Three of the Gospels relate that these events actually start on the preparation day, but this is absurd in relation to the other scriptures.  The day that these scriptures have to be referring to is the third day of the week.  The day of preparation would officially begin at SUNSET on the third day of this week.  Therefore the apostles were making arrangements for living space in order to make the preparations for the passover on the preparation day.  Remember, Christ and the apostles did not have a permanent housing location, for they were on the move for most of the ministry.  The meal that is in question therefore could not have the passover feast, because the passover feast was the next night.  This can be shown also by scripture in John 18:28.  The parties that led Jesus unto the hall of judgement would not enter because they did not want to be defiled and prevent them from eating the passover meal.
 
John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
 
Since this was early morning after the arrest of Jesus, if the passover meal was the last supper that Jesus had, all remains of the passover lamb MUST be burned before sunrise (Exo 12:10), then they would not have been able to eat of the passover feast anyway.  So then this time period MUST be early morning of the day of preparation, the passover feast to be at sunset.  This would also conclude that our Lord Jesus did not eat the passover feast with his disciples as he desired in Luke 22:15.
 
In conclusion, the passover lamb was a type of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ and the blood of the lamb was a type of the redemption of Christ for 1500 years since the deliverance of Israel from the Egyptian bondage.  Hundreds of passover lambs were being slain at the same time that Christ was on the cross paying the price for our deliverance from the bondage of sin and this world.
 
 
For many, this matter may seem petty and unimportant in the matters of the world and the routine of their life.  Why so much consideration for such a small matter?  It would have to then be asked, How small of a matter is even the salvation of one soul?  Perhaps yours?  Once knowing the TRUTH, a choice has to be made.  To stay with the world and the traditions of men: or to live in the light and peace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Consider the words of Christ in regards to the traditions of men:
    
Matt 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
 
The Bible-believing Christian should therefore have nothing to do with any of the pagan festivities or cultic characteristics of Easter or Good Friday.  If one would choose to remember the crucifixion of our Saviour, it is best to remember the ordinance given unto the church that he ordained himself the night before his death, the Lord’s Supper.
 
Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.    Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
 
In respect to Resurrection Day: What should the Bible-believing Christian think? This question should be asked every day and not just once a year!  The answer can only be; WE SERVE A RISEN SAVIOUR!  All of the ordinances before the cross were nailed to his cross, including the Feast of Firstfruits.
 
Col 2:14-17 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross, and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
 
To remember Christ is to live in him, there is no other way.
 
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jewish Calendar
 
 
Each 24 hour cycle begins at sunset and ends with the following sunset.  The 24 hour cycle is divided into two periods of time, day and night.  These two periods are then divided into four periods called watches.
 
    Night Period                Daylight Period
First watch - Sunset to 9:00pm    First watch - sunrise to 9:00am
Second Watch - 9:00pm to midnight    Second watch - 9:00am to noon
Third Watch - midnight to 3:00am    Third watch - noon to 3:00pm
Fourth Watch - 3:00am to sunrise    Fourth watch - 3:00pm to sunset
 
The year was divided into twelve months of 29 or 30 days each.  They used two different calendars depending on the purpose of the date.  For feasts and sabbaths the sacred calendar was used, but other types of matters the civil calendar was used.
 
    NISAN - 30 days    7th month of civil year
    IYAR - 29 days    8th month of civil year
    SIVAN - 30 days    9th month of civil year
    TAMMUZ - 29 days    10th month of civil year
    AB - 30 days    11th month of civil year
    ELUL - 29 days    12th month of civil year
    TISHRI - 30 days    1st month of civil year
    HESHVAN - 29/30 days    2nd month of civil year
    CHISLEV - 29/30 days    3rd month of civil year
    TEBETH - 29 days    4th month of civil year
    SHEBAT - 30 days    5th month of civil year
    ADAR - 29/30 days    6th month of civil year
 
An extra month called VEADAR of 29 days was added after ADAR every 3 years (7 times in 19 years) to allow for the short year of 354 days, to keep the seasons correct.  The month of NISAN would correspond to our March/April time period.  Each of the months were based upon the lunar cycles of the new moon.  Many of the months listed above also have sacred names assigned to them in the scriptures, for instance the month of NISAN is called ABIB in Exodus 13:4,23:15,34:18, and Deuteronomy 16:1.

1    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3    Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4    These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
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 ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8    But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11    And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12    And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13    And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14    And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15    And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16    Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17    Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
18    And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
19    Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20    And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21    And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22    And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24    Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25    Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27    Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28    And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29    For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30    And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31    Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32    It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34    Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35    On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36    Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37    These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38    Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39    Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40    And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41    And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42    Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43    That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
44    And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

Hope and Change

All 3 of our Presidential wannabe's speak of hope and change. Way I see it, with all 3 wanting to let the U.N. run everything, all 3 want to sign on to the Global Warming bancrupt America bandwagon, all 3 are gun grabbing baby killers, and all 3 want to tank our economy as quick as possible in one way or another. Looks like come Jan 20, '09 that no matter who wins, we lose and we'll all be standing on the corner hoping for some change from a kind passerbyer.
