Law The Law As Prophecy. While in many cases it appears that the law was a prophecy, it is equally true to also say that while He fulfilled prophecy He obeyed all laws. So to understand prophecy we must have a firm grasp of the law.
Fulfilling The Law And Prophecies. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5: 17)
Evidence In The Old Testament. Then I said, "Behold I come. In the scroll of the book it is written of Me." (Psalm 40: 7)
... all things written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. (Luke 24: 44)
Pattern Moses And The Prophets Testify Him. Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. (Luke 24: 27)
The Scriptures Testify about the Messiah. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. 
(John 5: 39, 46)
The Torah Testifies. Then I said, "Behold I come, in the scroll of the book it is written of Me. I delight to do your will, O my God; Your law is written in my heart". (Psalm 40: 7-8. Hebrews 10: 7)
The Messiah Would Suffer. But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. (Acts 3: 18)
Laws About Christ. For Christ is the end [goal] of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (Romans 10: 4)
The Old Testament testifies about the Messiah. We will show how Christ fulfilled all laws about making sinners righteous and how all laws pointed to Him as the way to righteousness. He did not abolish laws, but in Him is the purpose for which the laws were written. Consider the evidence of Exodus 22:24 - 23:19. It appears to be laws that were broken at the crucifixion, but the fact that elevates it to a prophecy is that it is part of the Torah readings scheduled for Passover. It is as if God was warning them for 1600 years about specific laws that they would break at Passover.
The Testimony of Jesus and about Jesus is in the prophecies because prophecy is given by the Spirit to bear witness about Jesus Christ.
The Testimony About Jesus Christ. ... I am a fellow servant of yours and your bretheren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19: 10)
Search For Me: A Study Guide For Jews. Jesus said that the Jews will never believe the testimony of the resurrected Jesus Christ. However, He said that they must look at the testimony of Moses and the Prophets to find Him. Moses also said that at the end of time that generation will find Him when they searched for Him with all their heart.
  • The Coming Of The Moshiach. It tells exactly when the Messiah would appear.
  • Moses and Elijah. Many prophecies about the nation of Israel at the end of time.
  • The Torah and Joshua. We have a series of six lessons that show exactly how Jesus kept all the law.
  • The Passover Seder. The order of events on the day of crucifixion.
  • The Camp of The Twelve Tribes. The order of events in the last week of the life of Jesus.
  • The Mishkan. God also gave me information about the principles of science modeled in the Mishkan. It magnifies the Torah in the eyes of all religions. Why did God give that information to a Gentile? It must be to magnify this testimony that He gave me first about the evidence in the Torah about the Messiah.
The List Of Messianic Prophecies.
We arranged this evidence mostly by the prophets, not the events.

There are many more passages identified as Messianic by the Jews that are not in this list. Christians now understand the sacrificial system as Messianic. Jews do not.
So critics claim that we randomly take texts and apply it to Christ. Many of these links were made by the disciples and the literature from the rabbis show that they also did the same, applying a text to the Messiah.

The Patchwork Tapestry of Prophecy. However, in the new information presented by Teachinghearts we take a whole system of laws and an entire story to show how the Messiah fulfilled them. We even explain laws that the Jews never understood but obeyed. The Seder, the offering rules, the blessings of Jacob and Moses, the journeys of the patriarchs and the twelve tribes are such a series of remarkable prophecies that as far as we know only the four cups of the Seder have been recognized by others. One cannot deny the testimony of a related group of events and symbols that so clearly chronicle a specific event in His life.
In another lesson we prove that the Messiah must appear no earlier than 125 BC and no later than 110 AD.
What are the odds that Jesus Christ is this suffering Messiah?
Evidence Of The Divinity Of The Messiah And The Trinity

Objections Jewish Objections To Jesus (The Trinity and the God-Man). Jews have a theological objection to a human who is God and a God who is three in one.

Jewish References To The Messiah
Jewish references to the Messiah include prophecy and history. There are predictions about what the Messiah will do, but it also includes references that identify what He has done in the Old Testament as a part of their history. Christians recognize this but tend to not emphasize it because we can demonstrate that the Messiah fulfilled prophecy but we cannot prove that He was their history. Jews tend to see what the Messiah will accomplish for them and not how to identify the Messiah when He comes other than the fact that He will conquer their enemies and establish them. So we have a history and expectation of two Messiahs.
  • Nature. It required a dual nature to take up all the duties of the Messiah and make God do the impossible.
    • God. The Messiah must have the power and authority of God to accomplish some tasks.
      • The Pre-Existing Messiah. They identify the Messiah as the LORD G-d of the Old Testament who delivered them from Egypt and who created the world and the one who made the covenant with Abraham. Although Christians believe that Christ was also this person, yet we had no solid proof. But they had proof passed down from one generation to the other that certain passages refer to the Messiah. Since the Jews identify this G-d or His actions as Messianic, then their own testimony shows more clearly than we could that the coming Messiah preexisted as their God.
      • Righteous Judge. He must be a judge who knows by experience, yet be qualified to judge God. Only a peer of God could judge God. Only a righteous human could judge humans by what he experiences and knows (Isaiah 53: 11 and Isaiah 11: 1-5).
      • King and Priest. He must combine both duties, although they must be separated according to Jewish laws.
      • Eternal Life. He must be capable of conquering death and hell.
    • Human. He must have the limitations of humanity to make the requirements for atonement possible.
      • Death. He must be found in a form that is capable of dying. As God it was impossible for Him to die, but as a human He could die for our sins.
        Even As Human, God Cannot Remain Dead. Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be held by it. (Acts 2: 24)
      • Blood. He must shed the blood of atonement in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. However, since God is not flesh and blood, but a Spirit, He must be in the form of flesh and blood in order to give His life's blood.
      • Curse. He must be capable of experiencing the curses.
      • No Assurance. He must genuinely experience the emotional state of having no assurance of salvation, so that He completes His duties by faith.
      • Faith. He must live by faith in God.
  • Mission (The Two Messiahs). It was to deliver Israel from all his enemies, including victory over the slavery of sin and power of death. The Dead Sea scrolls, the Passover Seder and the prophecies all have this image of two Messiahs which is also reflected in His two natures.
    • Conquering Messiah (The Messiah of David). Most of the Messianic passages are about the conqueror and king who will deliver Israel and make the nation prosperous.
      • The Messiah of David. He was a kingly figure who would lead the sons of light in a victorious war against the sons of darkness.
      • Broken Middle Matzah (Afikoman). He is the hidden Son Whose father paid a king's ransom for His return.
      • God. He was God hiding in human flesh Who could conquer death because He was life.

      » Maimonides - The Rambam (1135-1204). Rabbi Moses ben Maimon is an Egyptian Jewish scholar who promotes the conquering Messiah.
    • Suffering Messiah (The Messiah of Aaron). Some of their prophecies identify the suffering of the Messiah and that He would be rejected like a leper by His own people.
      The Jews need to come to terms with what it means for the Messiah to be their rejected Redeemer which is clearly defined in Isaiah 53: 7-12. He will bear our sins.
      • The Messiah of Aaron. He was a priestly figure who carried away our sins and stood before God as one Who loves us.
      • Broken Middle Matzah (Smaller Half). He is the Son Who was chewed up and spit on.
      • Human. He is God veiled in human flesh Who would be cut off like the foreskin.
      Isaiah 53 is identified as Messianic by the Jews. It clearly teaches that a human will be offered as a sacrificial lamb (verse 7) and as a guilt offering (verse 11) and a sin bearer and intercessor (verses 11-12). Isaiah is identifying the Messiah, the servant of God, as both a priest and a sacrifice.
    So there were not two Messiahs, it was one God in two Persons fulfilling different but related roles to accomplish the Plan of Salvation. He is the only one who is allowed to be both priest and king.
So Jews believe in a set of prophecies that show that He would be divine and that they would reject and mock Him. They also believed that He would take their sins. Therefore, they should have seen the sacrificial system as Messianic.
The Plural Nature of God
Shema. Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One!
                Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad. 
(Deuteronomy 6: 4)
This testimony in the Old Testament scriptures prove to Jews that there is no Trinity (Godhead) and that Jesus is not divine. How can this be explained and what other evidence exists of this triple nature or function of God in the scriptures? 
  • The Perfect Marriage. This is an example of two people becoming one. It is also the symbol God uses to demonstrate our relationship to Him. Our unfaithfulness to Him is prostitution and adultery.
    For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2: 24)
    So when Jesus said He was one with the Father, it could mean that He was totally committed and faithful as humans should be, or that He was also God, or He was the Father in human form. In any case, the possibilities demonstrate how many can be "one". So the Shema, by itself is not proof of God being one single, physical being. It may only mean that unlike the warring, jealous Pagan gods, the God of Israel is totally united as in a perfect marriage.
    » Echad (Unity In Community). The world used to describe "one" in the Shema is the same word that defines "one" in marriage (Genesis 2: 24). Thanks to pastor Dwight Nelson I learned the meaning of this word on 5 May 2012, justifying what I believed God taught me through example all these years.
  • Elohim. In the scriptures, God has used a plural word to describe Himself.
    Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image; according to Our likeness ..." (Genesis 1: 26)
    In verse 27 He switches to the singular.
    God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1: 27)
    This could be a reflection of the fact that the angels and other creatures were there. But this also suggests that the plural God decided to create man and one of the plurality carried out the task.
    Notice that it also took both man and woman to reflect the image and likeness and oneness of God. It takes both to complete the creative process and create a child in their likeness. It probably takes the oneness of both to complete all tasks that reflect the power of God.
    The New Testament also alludes to this singularity and plurality and to the fact that God created by speaking or by sound waves.
    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
    He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 
    (John 1: 1-4, 10, 14)
    Jesus Christ was the Creator. He was the singularity. He was sent by the plurality as the Word or the source of the sound that was spoken in the creation.
  • The Law: The 10 Commandments. The ten laws are said to be two laws: love God and love your neighbor.
  • Nature: The Rainbow. The rainbow shows us how one unified phenomenon can be a combination of many different pieces. The white light of a rainbow is the perfect combination of all colors.
    » Three in One. The three primary colors of light (red, blue and green) or the three primary colors in pigments (red, blue and yellow) all make white.
    » Seven in One. The rainbow shows that even these can be subdivided into more colors that make white light.
» Cutting Up God. It is ironic that after they cut up the offering, they went to a chamber to recite the SHEMA. At the moment they were declaring that their God was One, they had symbolically finished cutting Him up into pieces!
The Divinity Of Jesus
"I and the Father are one". The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. (John 10: 30-31)
When Jesus said this they did not try to stone Him because He was claiming to be faithfully united to God. They were stoning Him because He seemed to indicate that He was God. There is no record that He ever tried to deny those claims.
  • Mighty God. Speaking of the Messiah, Isaiah calls one who is born as a Jewish human child, "Mighty God" and the "Eternal Father".
    For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and this government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9: 6)
    Jews Creator God and Redeemer in the Exodus. Jewish rabbis link the Messiah to Isaiah 9: 6 and many other old Testament verses that refer to the God of creation and the Lord of the exodus who delivered them. If these are Messianic references then the Messiah is God. The list includes these passages that refer to God.
    The Messiah is the "I Am". You are My witnesses, declares the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me. (Isaiah 43: 10)
    Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God and there is no other. (Isaiah 45: 22)
    The Messiah is God. For your husband is your Maker, whose name is the Lord of Hosts. And your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, who is called the God of all the earth. (Isaiah 54: 5)
  • God Has A Son. The One Who created the world has a Son.
    The Creator. Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in the garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth?
    What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know! 
    (Proverbs 30: 4)
    God calls many beings His son. Israel, certain individuals and the angels are called "sons of God". However, this verse is clearly talking about the nature and power of God and it states that He has one son.
  • God Came To Earth. God humbled Himself and come from heaven to experience earth as a human.
    Humanity. Who is like the Lord our God Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth. (Psalm 113: 5-6)
  • Humanity Hiding Divinity. There are at least twelve symbols of Judaism that show a picture of divinity cloaked in humanity. The same symbols indicate death with four wounds in His body and the ability to spring back to life from a power within Himself.
  • The Lord's Goat. This is a minor point. If the scapegoat Azazel is Satan, then the Lord's goat must be the Lord. Therefore, the Lord G-d offers Himself to die as the sin offering to atone for us.
    "He shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. "Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for the scapegoat. "Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the LORD fell, and make it a sin offering.(Leviticus 16: 7-9)
    I am not simply acknowledging that these were substitutes or symbols of ideas. I am saying that if you believe that the scapegoat is Satan then you must believe that the Lord's goat is the Lord. And if He is the Lord, then the Lord will die as an atonement for sin.
  • I Will Be Your God ... I AM The Lord. The Passover Seder texts (Exodus 6: 6-7) prove that the suffering Messiah is God. There are seven promises made by God in these verses. Each are preceded by the words "I will ...". The first four have been traditionally used by the Jews in their Passover Seder to symbolize a promise in each of the four cups of wine poured in the Seder. During the third cup they even expect Elijah to come and introduce them to the Messiah. However they do not recognize the last "I will be your God" in verse 7 and the other three promises in verse 8. In fact, they never did acknowledge Jesus as their God for these 2000 years.
    The 4 Cups Of The Passover Seder. Say, therefore, the sons of Israel I am the Lord your God, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Then I will take you for My people,
    The Three Cups Of The Tabernacles. and I will be your God, and you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burden of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the Land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and I will give it to you for a possession.I am the Lord
    (Exodus 6: 6-8)
    We are in slavery to sin. Jesus took away the burden and the penalty of sin and delivered us from death by redeeming us with His arms stretched out on the cross as He suffered the great judgments and wrath.
    There are two classes of believers who do not recognize that Jesus is God.
    1. Christians. We substituted easter and the watered-down communion service and failed to see this striking symbolism. If you can agree that these verses symbolize what Jesus did, then you must conclude that He is the Lord and He is God. He is the one who made the covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and that He is the God who delivered them from Egypt with a mighty hand and with great plagues.
    2. Jews. They have been observing this order for 3500 years as a memorial to the exodus from Egypt. So they will only see this as another Christian twisting of facts. Yet their response was predicted. It is interesting that they did not see the fifth cup "I will be your God" in the verses that they do recognize nor the other two promises in verse 8. Also, they did not listen to Jesus because of fear of Roman reprisals and because of the bondage of sin, just as their forefathers also ignored Moses for the same reasons.
      And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. (Exodus 6: 9)
The Trinity (Godhead)
We discuss the doctrine of the Trinity in the New Testament in another lesson. Here we list evidence of the Trinity from symbols in the Old Testament.
  • Passover Matzo. Three Matzo are lifted up at the blessing (Motzi Matzo), signifying the moment Christ was lifted up on the cross. This also means that they were all suffering on the cross for the sins of the world.
    • Top Matzah ("Eternal Father"). This indicates that the Father was swallowed up with Christ.
    • Middle Matzah ("Jesus Christ"). This was broken in two before the smaller half was eaten.
    • Bottom Matzah ("Holy Spirit"). This bread was released before the top two were eaten. This is the moment the Holy Spirit was released or given up as He died. This bread was also eaten.
      Releasing the Spirit. and Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up His Spirit. (Matthew 27: 50)
  • Aramaic Samekh IVRI Samekh The Samekh (Support). This old version of the Hebrew letter samek looks like a cross with three cross bars. Like the three matzo, it seems to suggest two supporting one as the meaning of the letter suggests.
  • Grain Offering. Three breads were offered with the grain offering at the ordination or consecration of a priest.
    and one cake of bread and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before the LORD. (Exodus 29: 23)
    • Cake of Bread ("Father"). He is the one cake of bread. He has His own will.
    • Cake of Bread with Oil ("Holy Spirit"). He is the one cake of bread mixed with oil. He also has His own will. The Holy Spirit is also symbolized by olive oil.
    • Wafer of Unleavened Bread ("Obedient Son"). He is the chosen wafer from the basket of unleavened bread. The whole basket are humans. On Passover, Israel is the basket of wafers that has removed all traces of leaven from their homes. Jesus is the one sinless human chosen from that basket who was without the leaven because He is totally submitted to the will of the Father so that He can be without sin.
  • Three Pilgrimages of Israel. This represents the three times when each member of the Godhead comes to earth to accomplish a part of the Plan of Salvation to rescue us by destroying sin in the past, present and future.
    Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. Three times a year all your males should appear before the Lord. (Exodus 23: 14, 17)
    • Passover ("Jesus Christ"). He came to Jerusalem to die as the Passover Lamb.
    • Pentecost ("Holy Spirit"). He came in fire on Shavuot (Pentecost) to write the law of God on the tables of our heart, just as God came to Sinai on Shavuot in fire to write the ten commandments on tables of stone.
    • Tabernacles ("Eternal Father"). He will come on Tabernacles to take the righteous to live with Him.
  • Three Feasts In One. Although the law separates these feasts across several months, during the exodus, all the feasts occurred on the same day just as all the feasts were fulfilled on the day Jesus died.
    • Passover. They left on the exodus and celebrated the first Passover.
    • Pentecost. God followed them in a pillar of fire and clouds above.
    • Tabernacles. That same day they camped at Succos and lived in temporary shelters.
  • The Myrtle (Hadas). At Tabernacles the lulav included three myrtles on the right side of the bouquet. This is a plant with small oval leaves in the shape of eyes. The leaves from the correct species of holy myrtle also grow in a set of triplets from the same node.
    • Eyes ("Omniscient"). Many objects associated with the sight of God are covered with eyes.
      • ("Wheels"). The throne of God had wheels full of eyes. (Ezekiel 1: 18)
      • ("Lamb"). The Lamb by the throne of God had seven eyes. (Revelation 5: 6)
      • ("Menorah"). This source of light was decorated with almonds that were shaped like eyes. (Exodus 37: 17-24; Jeremiah 1: 11-12)
    • Right Hand ("Omnipotent"). The right hand is associated with power. Being on the right hand means that the object is the weapon of power. If you are on the right hand of power, then your are His instrument of judgment. When God is on your right hand, He is the source of your power. These two conditions can occur simultaneously when you are face to face with God in a hand shake or a kiss.
    • All Directions ("Omnipresent"). The myrtle was a part of the lulav which was waved in all six directions.
  • The Lulav. This bouquet contains three different species of plants which were waved in all directions. Each is said to represent a part of the body, and three different personalities and the response of each personality to the torah and good deeds. The Christian meanings are explained by the Jewish understanding of the symbol.
    • 3 Myrtles on the Right ("Hadas") Eyes. This is the Father, the eyes of God, who represents the perfect will of the Trinity. The triple form represents the Trinity. The hadas represents the one who knows the Torah and who is devoted to the pursuit of wisdom so that he can know and follow God.
    • 1 Palm in the Center ("Lulav") Spine. This is the Holy Spirit sent to earth to be the companion of mankind, in His form as God. The spine is a symbol of one who bends his back to work without breaking and the one who stands straight against the wind. With the help of the Spirit, Jesus bent His back to bear our burdens and Satan could never break Him.
      According to the Jews, the palm represents the one who does good deeds. His duty is to make us do the work or good deeds of God that is the fruit of one who submits to the will and law of God.
    • 2 Willows on the Left ("Aravah") Mouth. This is Jesus, the mouth of God, in two forms. He is the creative power of God using sound. He is God and Man. As both He helps humanity. The willow is also said to represent the one who says, "I have nothing, I am nothing". This is what Jesus suffered for our sins. Although Jesus is the willow, He demonstrates all aspects of all the three species because perfection lies in being all three.
    In a way, Jesus is all three. He is full of wisdom. He is the spine that stood courageously on the cross. He is the mouth who was silenced during the trials and crucifixion.
    » Etrog. Although the three branches of myrtle represents the perfect Trinity, yet the three species in the lulav represent the work of the different members of the Trinity as they try to bring perfection to the earth. Together, all three bear fruit in the etrog which represents the one who combines Torah and good deeds in perfection.
The Suffering Messiah Predicted By The Prophets
The Jews reject Christ because He seemed to be a failure. He did not conquer their enemies, but suffered ridicule and death and was conquered. But Paul says that all the prophets predicted His suffering.
The Messiah Would Suffer. "But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. (Acts 3: 18)
Many prophecies predict both His suffering and triumph and other details of the Plan of Salvation. A close examination of the major and minor prophets leads us to conclude that the specific predictions about His suffering lies in these forms:
  • The Words And Visions Of The Prophet. The predictions were expressed clearly in the words of the prophets.
    • Direct Prophecy. The clearest evidence is in the prophecy of Isaiah 53, Psalms 22 and 69. Some prophets even predicted His death.
      » Daniel. He said that the Messiah would be "cut off" (Daniel 9: 26).
      » Isaiah. He said that "the Branch", whom the Jews identify as the Messiah, would be despised, rejected, pierced, crushed, treated as a leper and "cut off out of the land of the living" (Isaiah 53: 8).
      » David. He said that the Messiah would be a reproach, despised, pierced hands and feet and "laid in the dust of death" (Psalm 22: 15).
      » Moses. The sacrificial system predicted His death. Like Moses, the rebellion of the people caused Him to strike out in anger so that He was cut off before entering the Promised Land.
      » Nathan. Although verses 12-13 are viewed as Messianic, the words in verse 14 were never seen as Messianic because it would say that the sinless Messiah committed sins.
      Rod and Stripes. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me. When he commits iniquity I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men. (2 Samuel 7: 14)
      But now we know that they were referring to Jesus at the time He took up our sins and claimed responsibility for them. After this He was severely beaten by the Romans with a rod that created striped marks on His body.
    • Indirect Prophecy. Other prophecies appear as instructions to others. The blessings of Jacob and Moses to the twelve tribes were both a prediction about them, and also about the Messiah.
      The names of the chosen were an acknowledgment of the experience of their mothers, but it was also a prophecy about Christ.
  • The Life Of The Prophet. But many other prophets were asked to live out the experience of Christ. In that life that they lived and the strange tasks that God asked them to perform is a prediction of His suffering and His work.
    • Job. He demonstrates how the Messiah suffered because of His loved ones and Satan.
      • Satan. He made a deal to take and try to break Him with intense suffering and deprivation.
      • God. He handed Him over to suffering because He had confidence in His love.
      • Friends and Family. They were a source of distress rather than comfort.
    • Jonah. Jesus, Himself said that the three days and nights Jonah spent in the fish were a type of the three days and nights He would suffer in the hands of His enemies.
    • Jeremiah. The torment of Jeremiah written in chapters 10 and 15 are a blueprint of the suffering of Christ on the cross.
      • Alone (Jeremiah 1: 15; 15: 16-18). Jesus was unmarried and He died with nothing and no one.
      • Cursed and Hated (Jeremiah 15: 10). The people and his friends mocked and laughed at him.
      • Abandoned by God (Jeremiah 20: 7-10). He felt that God had deceived Him and abandoned Him.
    • Ezekiel. Chapter 12 may be a prophesy of His final week as Jesus lived as an exile destined to be captured by "Babylon". In this week, Jesus substituted Himself for us by being punished by "Babylon".
      • Baggage (Ezekiel 12: 7). The cross was the baggage on His shoulders. He was carrying the burden of our sins.
      • Exile (Ezekiel 12: 3). Jesus traveled between the temple and Bethany during that week. In the morning He came to the temple and in the evening He went back to Bethany with His disciples.
      • The Prince in the Dark (Ezekiel 12: 12). Jesus is the Prince of the Covenant who went out at night to the Garden of Gethsemane and was caught and arrested. He was rejected by God during three hours of darkness.
      • Caught in a Net (Ezekiel 12: 13). Jesus was caught in a snare, crafted by the evil plot of Judas and the Priests. They brought Him to Rome, a type of Babylon and He died there.
      • Scattered (Ezekiel 12: 14). His disciples were scattered.
      • Scapegoat (Ezekiel 28: 16-19). He was treated like Satan after he threw out the money changers with violence.
    • Isaiah. Isaiah was the only major prophet who had many direct prophecies about the Messiah. But his life also revealed the ordeal of Christ. He was naked and barefoot for three years. Christ also worked for three years. As a human, who put aside His divinity (naked) and omnipresence (barefoot). He was basically a naked and barefoot God who had to rely on the Father for strength and support.
    • Hosea. Marry an unfaithful prostitute. The names of the three children were a sign of their rejection. He would end Israel, and no longer have compassion and they would not be His people nor would He be their God. This is the scope of the rejection of Christ and it is what happened to the Jews when they were rejected for the Gentiles.
    • Abraham and Isaac. The son who submitted to death and the father who gave His only son.
    Perhaps God used the example of the lives of these chosen people to instruct Christ in lessons that He had to learn to prepare Him for the cross. So, just as the laws taught Him what was legally required, the lives of the chosen taught Him what to expect emotionally and how to overcome.
  • The Experience Of The People. The connection to a suffering Messiah was not as clear in the writings of five prophets. But taking Acts 3: 18 as a clue we looked at these stories. We concluded that just as the experience of the people in the exodus was a blueprint to the sufferings of Christ, so we can find the path of Christ in all the experiences of the people that God chose to memorialize as a prophecy. The implication is that all prophecy is about Christ. If it appears as a warning or comfort to the people, then it will also be an example of the life of Christ. He cannot be their Messiah if He does not walk in their shoes and suffer their sufferings and take their guilt.
    • Joel. In Acts 2: 17-21, the disciples applied Joel 2: 28-32 as a fulfillment of the day of Pentecost. So if we applied the previous verses to events before Pentecost we can see that Joel predicted that Jesus would be cut off. Jesus describes Himself as the vine and the bread of life. He also describes Israel as the fig tree that failed to bear fruit. Joel is the picture of the condition of the people at the crucifixion because those times were also "the Day of the Lord".
      It has made My vine a waste and My fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; their branches have become white. Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the bridegroom of her youth. (Joel 1: 7-8) Jesus was the bridegroom of the young virgin Israel whom she slaughtered. But God will restore her as a wife in her old age (Isaiah 54).
      The vine dries up, the fig tree fails ... Has not food been cut off from before your eyes ... (Joel 1: 12, 16)
    • Amos. The "Day of the Lord" brings earthquake, darkness and weeping for an only son.
      It will come about in that day, declares the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down at noon and make the earth dark in broad daylight ... And I will make it a time of mourning for an only son, and the end of it will be like a bitter day. (Amos 8: 9-10)
    • Obadiah. If you read this prophecy and substitute Edom for the people of Israel at the crucifixion, then the connection becomes clear. Edom is descended from Esau who was supposed to get the birthright of the firstborn. But he did not care for this inheritance and sold it to his twin brother for a pot of soup. Israel at the time of Christ is about to be rejected because they also despised their birthright by despising and rejecting their Messiah. So they sinned against Christ in the same way that Edom sinned against Jacob.
      • Deceived by a Friend... They who eat your bread will set an ambush for you ... (verse 7)
      • Israel and Foreigners Cast Lots and Looted His PossessionsOn the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem - You too were as one of them (verse 11)
      • Gloating at their MisfortuneDo not gloat over your brother's day, the day of his misfortune. And do not rejoice over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction. Yes, do not boast in the day of their distress. Do not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster. Yes do not gloat over their calamity in the day of their disaster and do not loot their wealth in the day of their disaster. (verse 12-13)
        They mocked Jesus and rejoiced at His demise and stole His clothes.
      • Survivors ImprisonedDo not stand at the fork of the road to cut down their fugitives, and do not imprison their survivors in the day of their distress. (verse 14)
        The disciples were shut up in hiding because they were afraid of the Jews. (John 20: 19)
    • Zephaniah. Jesus was the Prince Who was punished. The soldiers placed foreign garments on Him. He also took off the garment of divinity and put on the garment of humanity to take our punishment.
      ... for the Lord has prepared a sacrifice, He has consecrated His guests. Then it will come about on the day of the Lord's sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king's sons and all who clothe themselves with foreign garments. (Zephaniah 1: 7-8)
    • Haggai. At a time when the temple was desolate and the people only cared about their homes, God calls them to bring wood to build a house for Him. It would be a much simpler house than the one built by Solomon, but it would have more glory. In the future there would be a time when Israel would again be desolated and God called Christ to build Him a permanent house which would be more glorious.
      Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified, says the Lord (Haggai 1: 8)
      Christ was the simple house of God Who carried the wood on His back to the top of a mountain called Calvary to build the permanent sanctuary of God.
  • The Day Of The Lord. This prophecy has a double application. It is the day God pours out His wrath on sinners.
    • Christ. This wrath of God was poured out on the day of His crucifixion. That was "the Day of the Lord" for the righteous when Christ suffered the wrath of God for them as God treated Him like one of the wicked.
    • Wicked. The "Day of the Lord" will occur at the end of time when God will pour out His wrath on the wicked in the seven last plagues before the millennium and then in hell fire after the millennium.

    Several prophets talk about this day of the Lord and the events that will occur and how we should prepare for it.
    • Elijah ComesSee, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. (Malachi 4: 5)
      » Christ. John the Baptist was the Elijah who came before the crucifixion. (Matthew 11: 14)
      » Wicked. Another like Elijah will come in the final days. Here is the lesson.
    • A Day of Preparation for BattleYou have not gone up to the breaks in the wall to repair it for the house of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the LORD. (Ezekiel 13: 5)
      » Christ. Christ maintained His perfection so that Satan could find nothing in Him. (John 14: 10)
      » Wicked. We must repair the walls to survive in the battle and turn the earth back from lawlessness. We must have the image of God reflected in us so that Satan does not find any of his image in us.
    • A Day of DecisionMultitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. (Joel 3: 14)
      » Christ. Jesus decided to submit to death, even though He did not understand all the answers.
      » Wicked. It will be a day of decision, especially when the false Christ appears.
    • A Day of Destruction for SinnersWail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. See, the day of the LORD is coming - a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. (Isaiah 13: 6, 9)
      » Christ. Jesus was treated as a sinner and destroyed for our sins when He became sin.
      » Wicked. They will be destroyed during the plagues and at the Second and Third Coming.
    • Darkness at NoonThe sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. (Joel 2: 31) (also Amos 5: 18-20 and Amos 8: 9)
      » Christ. There was darkness at noon during the crucifixion.
      » Wicked. There will be darkness on the earth for 1000 years after the Second Coming.
    • Burn Like an OvenSurely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. (Malachi 4: 1)
      » Christ. Jesus became the burnt offering on that day. He was reduced to ashes. Although the branch of Israel was cut off and Christ who was also known as the Branch which was cut off, His Seed survived the burning so that He became the Vine to which all the righteous will be attached.
      » Wicked. The wicked will be burnt up in the lake of fire and by fire and brimstone at the Second Coming.

LifeMinistryOrdination (Seven Days)LORD Appears

Time Absolute Time. Jesus made every offering on time and disposed of them in the time required so that He could be clean and enter the camp in Heaven at sunset on Nisan 17 (Sunday evening).
The Holy Spirit was the Water that He bathed in to resurrect Himself and to become clean.
  • Killed ("486.5 years"). He was killed in the middle of the last seven years of the 490 years given to the Jews after the last decree to leave Babylon and rebuild Jerusalem (457 BC).
  • Mother Cleansed ("33 Days/Years"). He lived 33 years before He was killed. The church was cleansed after this.
  • Fruit Harvest ("In the Fourth Year"). He ministers for 3.5 years before He was killed and given back to God.
  • Ordination ("7 Days"). After Mary anointed Him on Nisan 9, He remained in Jerusalem for seven days.
    » LORD Appears ("Day 8"). On the eighth day of His inauguration He appeared to Mary (Nisan 16).
  • In the Heart of the Earth ("3 Days and Nights"). Jesus was handed over to His enemies after sunset on Nisan 14 and was resurrected from the dead on Nisan 16 and left the earth at sunset that day.
    for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matthew 12: 40)
  • Peace Offering ("1 Day"). Leviticus 19: 6. It was eaten the same day and next but the remainder must be burned on the third day. Jesus was offered and eaten on Nisan 14 and swallowed on Nisan 15 with no leftovers. On the third day He stood before the eternal flames of the Father and He was not burned up.
  • Passover ("Same Day to Midnight"). The sacrifice was not to be left over until morning (Exodus 34: 25). Jesus was buried on the same day He was killed, at the 3 PM evening sacrifice, before sunset on Nisan 14.
  • Ordination Ram ("Same Day to Midnight"). Jesus was buried before sunset on the day He died.
  • Cursed and Hung on a Tree ("Same Day"). Deuteronomy 21: 22-23. The man on death row who is hung on a tree because he is cursed by God must be buried the same day.
  • No Worms on the Manna ("Sabbath"). The manna from heaven would have no worms during the Sabbath because His body would not decay (Exodus 16: 14-27,32).
    Two items in the Ark of the Covenant appear to prove that Christ would only be dead for one day.
    • Manna. Every day the people gathered about an omer of manna for each person.
      This is what the Lord has commanded, "Gather of it every man as much as he should eat; you shall take an omer a piece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent." (Exodus 16: 16)
      On Friday they gathered two omers for Friday and Sabbath.
      Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. (Exodus 16: 22)
      However, they saved only one omer in the golden jar in the ark of the covenant.
      One Omer in the Ark of the Covenant. Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations." (Exodus 16: 33)
      This means that there was just enough manna for one person for one day. It appears to prove symbolically that Christ would only be dead for one day. Since the manna did not spoil it proves that this was the manna that was reserved for Sabbath. So He would be dead on the Sabbath.
    • Aaron's Rod. The choice of Aaron also proves that the dead High Priest would rise after one day.
      Rod Sprouted in One Day. Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds. (Numbers 17: 8)
      Christ sprouted to life on the next day, proving that He was the High Priest chosen by God.
  • Seminal Emission ("Evening"). Leviticus 15: 16. Asleep in death, His seed resurrected the dead during the night of Nisan 16, He was clean by the next evening (Nisan 17).
  • Wave the Sheaf ("Day After the Sabbath"). He rose on the day after the Sabbath on the morning of Nisan 16.
  • Injured Slave Survives After A Day or Two. As the slave of Israel, they were not accountable for His death because He was alive a day or two after His injury. So, under this rule, no vengeance is applied to the Jews because He was both a Son and a Slave, but they would be punished.
    If a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken for he is his property. (Exodus 21: 20-21)
  • Torn, Wounded, Revived and Raised in 3 Days. He was torn and wounded after the trial and crucifixion on Nisan 14, wrapped and bandaged with the grave cloths and spices then healed with a Sabbath rest on Nisan 15, and revived and raised at dawn on Nisan 16, the third day.
    Three Days of Affliction. Come, let us return to the Lord. For He has torn us but He will heal us; He has wounded us but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him.
    Raised at Dawn. So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth. 
    (Hosea 6: 1-3)
  • Touched by the Unclean ("Evening"). Numbers 19: 14,22. If Mary had touched Him after the resurrection, He would still be clean by sunset when He went back to heaven. She was unclean for seven days because she had touched the dead when she embalmed Him on Friday.
  • Rebuilding the Walls ("52 Days"). The walls represent the foundation of the church.

    Twelve Tribes. It had a great high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
    Twelve Disciples. And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 
    (Revelation 21: 12, 14)
    Like, Nehemiah, Jesus rebuilds the walls of the city in 52 days. From the time the walls and sanctuary collapsed on Nisan 14, when He died and Israel turned against Him and the disciples deserted Him until Pentecost it was 52 days. Notice that the walls collapsed before they were able to enter the city and take the sanctuary. Israel abandoned Him. Then the disciples deserted Him before He was arrested. Peter was the last stone in the wall that was torn down.
    It took three days to raise up or rebuild the sanctuary at the resurrection. He was the sanctuary. On Pentecost the walls were rebuilt after 52 days when the disciples received the Holy Spirit.
Time Relative Time. Jesus also fulfilled events in relative time that is based on two laws.
  • Righteous Fruit. God expects fruit offering in the fourth year. (Leviticus 19: 23-25)
  • Judgment of the Wicked. The wicked are judged between the third and fourth generation. (Deuteronomy 5: 8-10)
So all judgment of the righteous and the wicked is given between the third and the fourth period.
  • Before Birth ("Between The Third and Fourth Month"). Mary's Fruit of the womb visited John in his fourth month in the womb. John leaped for joy.
  • 27-31AD ("Between The Third and Fourth Year"). He was killed after three and a half years of ministry.
  • Between The Third and Fourth Millennium. Jesus came in the fourth millennium after creation and sin.
  • Rome ("The Fourth Kingdom"). He was killed by the Greco-Roman empire which was numbered as the fourth kingdom by the prophecies of Daniel. Rome absorbed elements of the third kingdom (Greece) in its culture.
  • Levi and Judah ("The Third and Fourth Sons by Birth"). The first two sons, Reuben and Simeon, were not used to represent Christ. However Jesus was represented by a combination of the third and fourth sons. Levi was the priest and Judah was the monarchy.
  • Reuben ("The Fourth Tribe to March"). The beginning of His intense agony was symbolized by Reuben, the fourth son to march on the exodus. He represented the phase of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Time The Comings Of The Messiah
End of Sin12345678
Ordination Period (Seven Times)LORD Appears
The law about the ordination of priests states that the LORD should appear in glory at the temple on the eighth day after the priests are ordained (Leviticus 9: 1-6). On several time scales we will demonstrate how Jesus Christ repeatedly follows this law in specific sets of eight periods of time.
  • Birth (First Coming). On the eighth day after His birth Jesus appeared at the temple to be circumcised as a sign of joining the covenant.
    • Lamb. On the eighth day after He was anointed by Mary, He appeared to her first at His resurrection.
    • High Priest. On the eighth day after He was resurrected, He first appeared to the disciples again after the inauguration ceremony in heaven.
    • Holy Spirit. After seven sevens (weeks), at the beginning of the eighth week after His resurrection (Day 50), the Holy Spirit appeared to the disciples who were being anointed as priests of the new covenant.
    • The Glorious Temple. Seventy sevens after the temple permits to build, the Messiah would appear. That temple was destroyed about 70 years after His birth, within the eighty sevens.
  • Warrior King (Second Coming). The LORD Jesus Christ will appear to gather the saints at the beginning of the eighth period of time after His anointing at the crucifixion. The actual time scale is uncertain. Will it be months or Jubilees or by task? He will appear at the end of the seventh church, the end of the seventh seal and the end of the seventh trumpet.
  • Bridegroom (Third Coming). At the beginning of the eighth millennium after sin, God appears with the city of New Jerusalem and creates a new heaven and earth to distribute our inheritance.
Time Three Days and Nights. Several patriarchs and prophets suffered the same fate of Jesus as they were in the hands of their enemies for three days and nights. Peter and Paul both testify that the righteous are asked to suffer with Christ (1 Peter 4: 13 and Romans 8: 17-18).
  • Leviathan: The Great Fish. Leviathan is pictured as a creature with the head of a fish. Jonah spent three nights and days in the great fish. This is supposed to represent the number of days that Jesus spent in the hands of His enemies. (Matthew 12: 38-41)
  • Saul Tries to Murder David. David was with his friend Jonathan as he tried to avoid the wrath of King Saul.
    So David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening. (1 Samuel 20: 5)
    Although Jesus died during the full moon, there were conditions that could only occur during the new moon. The supernatural darkness could not have been created by a normal solar eclipse. The inauguration of the new church and the eclipsing of the light of God are all conditions that signified a new moon.
  • Punished Like David. He endured all the possible punishments that David deserved (2 Samuel 24: 13-14).
    • God: Three Days of Plagues. Punished by God for three days. This is the option David chose.
    • Enemies: Three Months Running. The Jews tried to stone Him at Hanukkah (John 10: 22-31) and He left Jerusalem and returned three months later to raise Lazarus and to be crucified.
    • Land: Seven Years of Famine. After seven years of ministry to the Jews He had to turn to the Gentiles.
  • Balaam Strikes The Donkey Three Times. Christ is the donkey we struck and cursed for three days.
  • Joseph in Prison. He interpreted dreams that pointed to Christ being in prison for three days and he imprisoned his ten brothers for three days. Ten priests (ten brothers) carried the cut up offerings at the feasts.

There has been a lot of confusion about when Jesus died if He was "in the bowels of the earth" for three days. Many assumed that this meant that He was buried for three days. If so, He must have been crucified on Wednesday. But the details about the crucifixion indicated that He died on Friday and rose on Sunday morning. So the assumption is that we do not fully understand the expression "in the bowels or heart of the earth". So here is the solution.
  • Preparation Day. This is the day before which was used to prepare for a Sabbath.
    When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. (Mark 15: 42)
    Jesus died and was buried on the day before the Sabbath, called the "preparation day".
  • High Sabbath. Jesus died the day before a high Sabbath.
    Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.(John 19: 31)
    Now you know A feast Sabbath could occur on any day of the week. A high Sabbath is the merging of two Sabbaths when the Sabbath of a feast day occurs on the Weekly Sabbath.
    » The Passover Feast. Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread lasted from Nisan 14 to 21. The day after Passover was Nisan 15. It was the first Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Nisan 21 was the second Sabbath of that feast
    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)
    Jesus was arrested the same night He ate the Passover night and died several hours later during the day and was buried quickly because sunset was approaching and the Sabbath would begin. So He was in the grave on the first Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It could only have been a high Sabbath if Nisan 15 occurred on the weekly Sabbath.
  • Resurrection on the First Day. He was ressurected by dawn on Sunday.
    Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb. (John 20: 1)
» A Wednesday, Thursday Or Friday Crucifixion?
Since the story is very clear that Jesus rose on the morning of the first day of the week (Sunday), some assume that He must have been buried since Wednesday or Thursday to be "in the bowels" three days and nights. They do not account for the specific details. He was arrested, tried, nailed on the cross, died and buried quickly near sunset before a high Sabbath immediately after eating the Passover meal.
  • No High Sabbath. The Passover Sabbath is on Nisan 15. Proponents of a Wednesday or Thursday crucifixion have the weekly Sabbath on either Nisan 16 or 17. Therefore, they can never have a high Sabbath. The weekly Sabbath must have been on Nisan 15 for it to be a high Sabbath.
  • Buried in the Morning. If He was buried in a tomb for three complete days and nights then He must have died and been buried at dawn on Thursday morning to be raised at dawn on Sunday morning. These are not the facts. He was buried quickly before sunset as a Sabbath was beginning.
  • Dead on Sabbath. Above, in "Jesus Fulfills All Time Requirements", we show that the symbols, promises and laws indicate that He would be dead for only one day and that this day would be the weekly Sabbath.

    SpicesJesus was embalmed in 75-100 lbs of spice before He was buried (John 19: 38-42; Luke 23: 50-56).
    Mary bought more spices and came to complete the job on Sunday (Mark 16: 1-2)
» In the Bowels of the Earth. So our misunderstanding must be with this phrase. The bowels could be any place between the mouth and the anus. Just as Jonah was not dead when he was in the belly of the whale, Jesus was not necessarily dead when He was "in the belly of the earth". This phrase means that at this point He was given over into the hand of His enemies. The wicked people made of clay had beseiged Him like a flood and devoured Him. Many prophecies show how their behavior mimicked the actions of eating and devouring Him. Those actions signify that He was literally and symbolically "in the bowels".
  • Seder. When He went to Jerusalem, knowing what was going to happen, He was giving Himself over to the wicked people of earth. He began His journey into the bowels on the first night of the Seder when He instituted the new covenant and told them what the eating bread and the drinking of wine symbolized. Christ was now in their mouths. Judas went to betray Him during that meal and began the process of churning and digestion.
    Body. And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
    Blood. And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. 
    (Luke 22: 19-20)
    The Blood of The Old Covenant. So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words." (Exodus 24: 8)
    The blood of the Old Covenant was sprinkled on them. The blood of the New Covenant was sprinkled in them. This Covenant reaches the heart. There was a prohibition against eating the blood of animals. This was most likely to demonstrate the limitations of the animal sacrifice. They could never cleanse within.

    A Better Covenant. "Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.
    Cleansed By The Holy Spirit. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
    Taught By The Holy Spirit. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD,
    Forgiveness. "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." 
    (Jeremiah 31: 31-34)
    The New Covenant also had a better teacher of righteousness. The law written on the outside was as ineffectual as the blood sprinkled on the outside.
    • Love Your Neighbor. When the Holy Spirit writes the law on our heart, we love each other.
      Taught To Love Each Other. Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; (1 Thessalonians 4: 9)
    • Love God. When the Holy Spirit writes the law on our heart, we love and obey God.
      Taught The Will Of God. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. (1 John 2: 27)
  • Condemned to Death. When they decided to have Him killed despite the real evidence, He was dead.
  • Betrayed. When He was betrayed with a bribe the Lamb was being sold for food.
  • Tied Up. When He was arrested and tied with ropes, He was being prepared for slaughter.
  • Unjust Trial. When He was tried in an unjust trial with false witnesses and questioned all night while surrounded only by His enemies, He was being grilled and roasted.
    For my days have been consumed in smoke, and my bones have been scorched like a hearth. (Psalm 102: 3)
  • Stripped Naked. He was being skinned alive when He was stripped naked.
  • Beaten. When they beat Him they were tearing down the walls and pounding the meat for consumption.
  • Clothes Torn. When they tore His outer garment they were tearing down the sanctuary walls.
  • Disciples Scatered. When the disciples ran away, the stones of His city were being removed and thrown away.
  • Via Dolorosa. When He was slapped and the crowd lined the road and reached out for Him on the road to Golgotha it was the finger-like structures of the bowels called the vilii which where pushing Him towards calvary.
  • Nailed. When they nailed Him they were poking holes in the Passover Matzah.
  • Spit. When they spit on Him, they were chewing Him in their mouth with saliva.
    Spit (Saliva). They spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him. (Matthew 26: 67)
  • Mocking. When they mocked Him they were gnashing at Him with their teeth and tearing Him to pieces.
    Chewed. Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed at me with their teeth. (Psalm 35: 16)
  • Gall. When they gave Him gall, they were delivering the bile from the gall bladder.
  • Vinegar. When He was given vinegar, it was the stomach acid. At this point He said, "It is finished".
  • Water. When water poured out of His side, it was the phase where the large intestine removes water.
  • Buried. When they buried Him, He was simply being passed through the intestines.
  • Earthquake. This was the gastrocolic reflex which propels food through the bowels.
  • Resurrection. He was being regurgitated out of the bowels of Sheol. He was most likely raised from the dead at sunset on Sabbath on Saturday night and then came out of the tomb on Sunday morning at sunrise.
  • Ascension. When He went up to heaven near sunset, He was being vomited out of the earth to heaven. He finally escaped the bowels of the earth.
Several texts describe how He would suffer for three days before He was resurrected. After examining all the evidence it is clear that the three days included all His suffering in captivity after Judas handed Him over. The counting of the time began with the first incidence of rejection and suffering, not after He was buried. Also notice how all the statements are not precise.
Three Days Later. Behold we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles. They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again. (Mark 10: 33-34)
On The Third Day. From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. (Matthew 16: 21 also Matthew 12:40; 17:22-23; 20:18-19; 27:63 and Luke 9: 22)
After Three Days. And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and after three days rise again. (Mark 8: 31)
In Three Days. Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up". (John 2: 19)
This statement was misquoted by witnesses at the trial (Matthew 27: 40; 26: 61; Mark 14: 58; 15:29).
Daniel and the Coming of the Messiah
The marvelous prophecy of Daniel 9 is discussed in more detail in the previous lesson about the 2300 days. But in Daniel we see the Messiah in all the prophecies.
  • Daniel 2: 44 (The Rock). He is the Rock that smashes all earthly kingdoms and sets up His eternal kingdom.
  • Daniel 7: 13-14 (The King). The King (the "Son of Man") who receives a kingdom from the "Ancient of Days".
  • Daniel 8: 11 (High Priest). The High Priest and "Commander of the Host" who was usurped by the little horn.
  • Daniel 9: 24-27 (The Messiah). The Messiah who came to earth and was killed
  • Daniel 11: 22 (The Covenant Prince). The Prince of the covenant who was killed by the Romans and shattered in the reign of two kings:
    1. A Tax Collector who would die peacefully. Augustus Caesar ordered taxes to be raised in the kingdom. He died in his sleep.
    2. A vile person who had no right to be king. This was the pedophile named Tiberius Caeser who was the step son of Augustus.
  • Daniel 12 (Michael). The great Prince who rescues and resurrects the people of God. 
    » The Work of the Messiah. The Messiah was to do several things according to Daniel 9: 24 and 27. He accomplished all these things when He died and became the substitute for sin. Up until this time we had only a promise and a sacrificial system that taught us about the work of the Messiah. As far as we were concerned there had been no remedy for sin.

Daniel 9 - The Prophecy of the Messiah
Daniel 9 is such a remarkable prophecy that it is worth summarizing here. But it is discussed in The Messiah Comes.
The Jews would have 490 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to fulfill the covenant. The final decree was issued by Artaxerxes in 457 BC. The Messiah would minister in the final seven years and be killed in the middle of those years.

Conception Week of conception. It takes 3-10 days to travel down the fallopian tube to be implanted. That time is not part of the forty weeks
If Jesus was 33.5 years old when He died on Passover, then His birthday must have been six months earlier on TIshri 15. Jesus was born during the feast of Tabernacles because He came to tabernacle with humans. The evidence is based on following a timetable of events that began with the angel visiting the father of John the Baptist.
  • Zecharias is Called ("Sivan 1- 14"). He was visited by the angel when it was his turn to do the priestly duties. David divided up the priests into 24 groups (1 Chronicles 24: 1-18). Each served the sanctuary for one week from one Sabbath to another (2 Chronicles 23: 8). All came to serve during the three great feasts (Deuteronomy 16:16). Zecharias was from the division of Abijah which was the eighth group. They served in the week after Pentecost (Shavuot). Since all priests had to serve at Pentecost it meant that He served those two weeks before going home.
    » Week 52. 48 assigned tours of duties and three feasts only accounts for 51 weeks. We assume that since the tours are from Sabbath to Sabbath and two feasts are a week long (one is 8 days long) that since the feasts do not start on a Sabbath that there is overlap which most likely occurs during Succos.
  • Elizabeth Becomes Pregnant ("End of Sivan"). John comes home and Elizabeth becomes pregnant. In the worst case he could not touch her because she would be unclean for two weeks. In the best case she immediately became pregnant.
  • Mary Becomes Pregnant ("Kislev 25"). This date is the first day of Hanukkah (Feast of Dedication), the miracle of the festival of lights. It announces the One Who would be the Light of the world who was born by a miracle.
    The angel visited Mary when her cousin Elizabeth was six months pregnant (Luke 1: 24-27, 31). Then Mary went to visit her and stayed 3 months (Luke 1: 56-57). So she stayed until the birth of John and the Passover festival.
    » Assumptions. In this proof we have only made two assumptions.
    1. Pregnancy. Elizabeth became pregnant within one month after Zecharias came home.
    2. Abijah. He was serving the first course of his term in Sivan, not the second in Kislev.
      If he was serving in the second course then Jesus was born on Passover and John was born during tabernacles. However, since Jesus was 33.5 years old when He died at Passover, He could not have been born during Passover.
    » Fruit in the Fourth Period. Mary stayed three months and she must have gone to the temple during John's circumcision in her fourth month. So the fruit of Mary's womb came to the temple during His fourth month in the womb to be presented to God as required (Leviticus 19: 23-25).
    Jesus also began His ministry in his fourth decade.
    Elizabeth's fourth month was in Tishri. Since all Jews were required to go to the temple, the fruit of her womb was also presented to God during His fourth month.
  • John is Born on Passover ("Nisan 14"). John was born forty weeks after he was conceived. We placed the birth on the fourteenth because the Passover seder prophesied that Elijah would come during the Passover seder to introduce Israel to the Messiah. The scriptures identified John as the fulfillment of the coming Elijah. So he was born at Passover and thirty years later he baptized Jesus and introduced Him to Israel.
  • Jesus is Born on Tabernacles ("Tishri 15"). Six months later Jesus was born. He was circumcized eight days later on Tishri 22. This was the day Jesus joined the covenant people. It is also the day the Hebrews officially began a new season and rejoiced in the Torah.
The Birth Year of Jesus (Tishri 15, 4 BC)
The Death of Herod
The historian Josephus said that Herod died after a lunar eclipse just before Passover. Astronomers have calculated the dates of three eclipses around that time.
• 5 BC, March 23 (8: 52 PM). Total.
• 4 BC, March 13 (4: 04 AM). Partial.
• 1 BC, January 10 (1: 35 AM). Total.
We concluded that He was born during the feast of Tabernacles, around Tishri 15. But we did not discuss the year. This prophecy of the cleansing of the woman gives us an indication of the year of His birth because it indicates His age at death. He was 33.
Because of a mistake by the monk Dionysius Exiguus, who created our current calendar, the year of His birth was first designated year one on our calendar instead of year 753 on the Roman calendar. He used Luke 3 verses 1 and 23 and concluded that Jesus was thirty years old in the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar. Augustus Caesar ruled from 27 BC and died on 19 August 14 AD and he was succeeded by Tiberius Caesar (14 to 37 AD) Power was actually transferred a year earlier in 13 AD. So his fifteenth year was 27/28 AD.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrach of Galilee ...
When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age. 
(Luke 3: 23).

We know from the prophecy of Daniel 9 that Jesus died on Passover in 31 AD (Nisan 14) We know from the prophecy of the unclean woman that he must be thirty three years old at His death. He began His ministry at age 30, according to Luke 3: 23. Matthew also says that Herod killed all the boys under two years old in the region. So, before He died Herod thought that the maximum age of Christ must be around two years.
Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi. (Matthew 2: 16).
According to the evidence in the scriptures and the requirement of the prophecy of Daniel 9, He died after three and a half years. The evidence of the written chronological events shows that He worked for three Passovers and died on the fourth.

Using the year for a day principle, Jesus prophesied that He would work for three years.
And He said to them, "Go tell that fox, look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal". (Luke 13: 32).

Summary: Birth Year.
So, remembering that there is no year zero, if Jesus was 33 years old in autumn in the feast of tabernacles on Tishri 15, 30 AD then He was born in 4 BC. And, if Herod died around Passover 1 BC, then Jesus was two and a half years old during Passover of that year.

So we have met all the prophetic, mathematical and historical requirements for the age of Jesus
  • Prophecy.
    • The Unclean Woman. Jesus was 33 when He died to fulfill the prophecy of the unclean woman.
    • Seventy Weeks. He died in 31 AD to fulfill the prophecy of the seventy weeks of Daniel 9.
  • Age.
    • Age 2. Jesus was 2½ during the lunar eclipse of January 10, 1 BC, at a possible date of Herod's death.
    • Age 30. He was about thirty years old in the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar (27 AD).
    • Age 33. He was thirty three years old at his death (31 AD).
  • History. Josephus claims that Herod died at the time of a winter eclipse, after Yom Kippur and before Passover. Jesus was 2½ at the lunar eclipse in the year 1 BC, so He was the age that Herod calculated before he died.
    Herod's Reign (37 BC to 1 BC). Josephus says that Herod's seventh year occurred during the battle of Actium (September 2, 31 BC.) So Herod began his rule in 37 BC. Josephus also says that Herod died 37 years after the Romans made him king and 34 years after he took Jerusalem. He died in 1 BC.
Who Killed Jesus?
Our sins caused Jesus to give His own life as a substitute. He chose the sons of Abraham to perform this act and they brought the false charges to the Romans who carried out the punishment. Everyone is responsible.
  • Satan: (Initial Cause). He deliberately started the rebellion that caused sin on earth.
    "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! (Isaiah 14: 12)
  • God: (He Sent Jesus to Die to Fulfill A Covenant). In the picture of Abraham's sacrifice of his son, is God tying His only son to the altar of the earth by the nails of the law. Jesus obeyed the SHEMA on the cross.
    » Chastened by His Father. The Jews did what God did. God exchanged the innocent for the guilty. The Father abandoned Jesus on the cross. God put the nails in His hands and feet by law. By the law of the covenant and the promise, Jesus must stay on the cross by choice and fulfill the will of God, not His temporary need to end His agony. He was chastened by His Father who loved Him and us.
  • Nobody: ( Life was a Gift). He gave His own life, because it is impossible to kill God.
    Good Shepherd. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.
    My Gift to You. "No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father." 
    John 10: 11, 17-18
    God Cannot Die Forever. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. (Acts 2: 24)
  • Everybody: (We Sinned). In our weakened state we sinned. It caused God to give His life as a substitute.
    for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3: 23)
    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6: 23)
    » The Wrath of Communion. Every time we eat the bread and drink the cup of communion we remember Christ by affirming that we are also responsible for chewing, spitting and swallowing Him. We cannibalized Him.
    For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, after supper, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. (1 Corinthians 11: 23-26)
  • Jews: (Abandoned Him). Those in 31 AD were responsible for exchanging the innocent Jesus for Barabbas.
    When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."
    And all the people said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. 
    (Matthew 27: 24-26)
    » Judas: Betrayed Him. He sold Him for 30 pieces of silver.
    » Priests: Made the False Accusations. They slaughtered the Lamb or held the animal while the sinner killed it. They held the Lamb of God and gave Him to the Gentiles and bear some of the responsibility for His death.
    So the LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your father's household with you shall bear the guilt in connection with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt in connection with your priesthood. (Numbers 18: 1)
    Given to the Gentiles. Behold we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles. Mark 10: 33
    Sacrificed by the High Priest. nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish. (John 11: 50)
    The record is clear. He would die at the hands of the children of Abraham. Specifically, from the tribe of Levi, a son of Aaron who was the high priest. But as we learned, knowing that He would have to lay down His life, Jesus chose the descendants of His friend Abraham to do the task. Just as He asked Abraham to kill Isaac, He asked the children of Abraham to kill Him. Because it was better to fall into the hands of His friends than His enemies (2 Samuel 24: 14). However, it is more emotionally devastating to be betrayed by loved ones.
    » Rejecting The Serpent In The Tree. When Jesus appeared as an evil man on the wooden cross who was rejected by the woman Israel, He was actually recreating the great test of Eve. She also stood before a serpent lifted up on a tree, but she accepted Him and caused sin to begin.
    In a strange way, when Israel rejected Christ lifted up on the tree their actions caused sin to cease, because this serpent would bring the cure for sin. Israel passed the test that Eve failed by killing the snake! Satan's plot is turned against him.
  • Gentile Romans: (Tortured Him and Hammered the Nails and Killed Him). Those in 31 AD shattered the Prince of the Covenant by nailing Him to a cross and beating Him to near death with a sharp whip and letting Him slowly suffocate to death.
    They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him ... (Mark 10: 34)
    Speaking specifically about the despicable Tiberius Caesar and the forces of general Titus, Daniel said:
    Shattered by the Romans. In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue. The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant. (Daniel 11: 21-22)
Wounded By His Friends
Torn to Pieces
The law says that an animal that is torn by wild beasts or dies of itself cannot be used for food. Jesus could not be consumed as the offering if He was mutilated by His enemies, if he died of suicide or natural causes. He must be unjustly killed to be the offering, and He cannot be killed by the wild animals (Gentiles). He must be killed by the Jews.

Cutting up the Offering. The vow also symbolized that "may I be torn in pieces like this offering if I do not keep my promises". Jesus kept the promise and was not physically torn to pieces.

Cut in Two. The middle matzah at Passover was broken in two. The promise of redemption is to be redeemed by the right strong arm of power and by the vow made by the right thigh through a high priest whose right ear will always hear.
His indestructible divinity must be represented by His right side. While the left side which was pierced through the heart by the sword must represent His broken humanity.
Anyone can inflict severe physical wounds. But only your friends and family can inflict the most severe emotional wounds.
When David sinned by ordering a census God gave him three choices for his punishment. They were seven years of famine, three months fleeing from his enemies or three days pestilence. He chose his friend, God.
... I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the Lord for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man. 2 Samuel 24: 14
God had the same choice. He could give His blood for mankind through His own efforts. He did not need the contribution of an evil deed to pay the price for sin. He could sweat blood and He could lay down His own life. It was the blood that was taken into the altar as an atonement, not the dead animal. But the forces of evil were going to take the opportunity to murder Him. And He must submit. He probably had the choice of falling into the hands of Satan, the Gentiles, His enemies or His friends. He chose to be wounded by His friends.
And one will say to Him, what are these wounds between Your arms? Then He will say "those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends". (Zechariah 13: 6)

This is why the behavior of the tribes were listed as blessings even though it cost Him His life. Only the children of His friend Abraham could be entrusted with this task. So the test of Abraham takes on another symbolic meaning. Abraham was allowed to experience the agony of God who had to give up His only Son to death. He was also the one to hold the knife to kill his son.

The seed of Abraham also had to experience the agony of Abraham. They were the ones who would kill the favorite Son of their friend, God! What agony! It was also symbolic of what the atonement did. He would die for His friends because of His friends. Our sins killed Him, therefore we must hold the knife, not Satan or those who reject His atoning death.
Dying at the hands of your enemy is not as wicked and deeply painful as dying at the hands of loved ones. In addition, forgiveness of this act of betrayal is the greatest type of forgiveness. The Jews were the only ones who could cause Him to die the worst death so that His death could forgive the worst of betrayals. Death only at the hands of the Gentiles could not atone for every sin.

He would die at the hands of the priests and sinners among His own chosen people.
Therefore, although Israel sinned, God chose them over anyone else to kill Him. It was also His will that the Jews would be separated from the Christians so that He could maintain an accurate knowledge of His covenant for the people at the end of time. Therefore, it is only fair that God should bring them back from this cloud of infamy. So, Paul says that they will be grafted back in. Isaiah says that their dignity would be restored and they will be a light to the Gentiles.
» The Punishment of the Jews. For 2000 years Christians have claimed that all the tragedy on the Jews are God's punishment for rejecting Christ. And that their statement, "his blood be upon us and on our children" are still being fulfilled. So every horrible persecution including the slaughter of six million by the German Nazis was their punishment from God. What does God say about punishment in the covenant?
  • Legal Issues. 2000 years of punishments violates God's own legal covenant.
    • The Injured Slave. Since Jesus was alive two days after He was striken, God could not take vengeance (Exodus 21: 20-21). It was a brilliant act of God to spare them punishment by being dead for only one day.
    • Land Sabbaths (101 AD). Remembering that their Babylonian exile was the punishment for all previous years, if we assumed that they were punished for all previous years of violations since the captivity in Babylon, then at the most they have 490 years of unfaithfulness from the end of their Babylonian exile to Christ. Therefore, if they are to be thrown off the land again for Sabbath violation, then they only owe the land about seventy years of rest. This ended in 101 AD.
      However, if they were to be punished seven times, then their ordeal should last 490-560 years and their punishment should have ended by 524-594 AD.
    • Four Generations (312 AD). The second commandment promised that iniquities will be visited up to the third and fourth generation (Exodus 20: 5). This is a maximum of 120-160 years if a generation is forty years and 210-280 years for a generation every seventy years.
    • The Two Goats. In the end and in the law it is the scapegoat who is judged as being responsible for all the misery on the earth. The priests are partially responsible for killing the Lord's Goat. According to the law, this is the goat that must die at the hands of the priests, therefore they did not break the law when they caused His death. However, they broke the law when they presided over an unjust court with lying witnesses. The punishment for lying in court as a malicious witness was to receive the same punishment as he intended for the innocent. They received this punishment in 70 AD and 136 AD.
      Malicious Witness Punished. The judge shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 19: 18-19)
    • The Covenant. The contract is in force until there are no more heavens. At the crucifixion the heavens did not disappear, so Israel still legally owns the land.
      Until The Heavens Disappear (Land Covenant). So that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them as long as the heavens remain above the earth. (Deuteronomy 11: 21)
      Even if Christians say that they have now been grafted in and are the new Israel, the record indicates that at the crucifixion Christ did not remove the heavens to formally end the old covenant with biological Israel. Instead, He performed a miracle to transfer the priesthood from Levi to Melchizedek.
      Until Day and Night Change (Kings and Priests Covenant). If you can break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not come at their appointed time; Then my covenant may also be broken with David my servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. (Jeremiah 33: 20-21)
      You could legitimately say that when the supernatural darkness occurred at the cross, that it temporarily broke the covenant with the day and night. So there are no more kings from Judah and Levitical priests in Israel anymore. In fact, according to Ezekiel, the Levitical priesthood remains with the Jews, the Zadok priesthood went to the Gentiles and the kingdom belongs to Jesus. If they graft themselves to Christ, then Israel will be Zadok priests.
    • Obey The Legally Appointed Court. Jesus was a popular figure among the people until the night of the seder. What went so terribly wrong in less than 24 hours?
      The rapid events happened in the night during a time and a day when trials were not allowed. So the people woke up to an orchestrated spectacle that carried them away like a flood. The people were required by law to abide by the verdict of the priests and the court under penalty of death.
      The Verdict of The Priest and The Judge. The man who acts presumptuously by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the Lord your God, nor to the judge, that man shall die; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17: 12)
      The court found Him guilty of blasphemy, even though the testimony was later shown to be false. Under the wild atmosphere, it was impossible to assign blame to hundreds of thousands of people who heard the details of the proceedings through rumors and the biased press releases of the high priest.
    Therefore, in the worst case, their punishment should have been over by 312 or 524 AD. So Jews are not suffering now for killing Christ because of any legal act or vengeful desire of God. 2000 years of punishment is unjust and illegal. At the end of time even the earth gets only 1000 years of punishment for sins since the creation.
  • The Will Of God. They were partially responsible for His death because they made bad choices. But if God wanted them to participate in His death, then how could He punish them for so long and so severely?
    Just Punishment. "For I am with you," declares the LORD, "to save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will not destroy you completely but I will chasten you justly and will by no means leave you unpunished". (Jeremiah 30 : 11)
    God's punishment is just. The only punishment that remained was the rejection and "vengeance for the covenant" that was part of the Plan of Salvation which would eventually trap Satan in the end.
    • Gentiles Chosen (34 AD). Their exalted status was taken away when God called the Gentiles.
    • Destruction Of The Temple (70 AD). This legally put an end to animal sacrifices in His name and caused the Jews to offer the correct sacrifices for 2000 years.
    • Rabbinic Judaism (70 AD). The burning of the temple also caused the destruction of records and the end of one branch of priests. Without the temple, the Saducees who are the Levites, could not offer sacrifices and their functions ceased while the Pharisees survived. In contrast, a new branch of priests based on a radical new idea survived. Although women could not be priests they believed in a form of priesthood among all the tribes which is a basic rule of the Melchizedek priesthood set up by Jesus Christ. The ordinary citizen was encouraged to learn and teach the Torah and this caused Judaism to survive scattered around the world without temple or special class of priests for 2000 years.
    • Bar Kochba Revolution (132-135 AD). They were exiled after this revolt and received permission to go to the Mount of Olives to mourn the temple from afar in the middle of the third century.
  • God Hardened Their Hearts. Both the old and new Testament claim that God hardened their heart. Paul says that God did this to save the Gentiles.
    Hardness Reversed. For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, so that you will not be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
    "The deliverer will come from Zion He will remove ungodliness from Jacob" "This is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins". 
    (Romans 11: 25-27)
    In context, the prophecy from Isaiah is specifically for the time of the Roman desolation of the sanctuary.
    Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways and harden our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage. Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, our adversaries have trodden it down. (Isaiah 63: 17-18)
  • Forgiven. While He was on the cross, Jesus forgave them for that act.
    But Jesus was saying, "Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing ..." (Luke 23: 34).
    Therefore they should not be suffering because "they killed Christ" because of the will of God. In fact, Jesus specifically says that blasphemy against Him can be forgiven. So I believe that it is safe to say that since this separation and rejection was a part of the plan of God, this statement was also meant to cover their actions.
    Unbelief in Jesus. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. (Luke 12: 10).
  • Our Behaviour. The source of their current punishment is our own desires. We have been punishing them for rejecting Christ or using it as an excuse for our hatred.
    We will be punished for trying to add to God's punishment. It is not our duty to be their judge and executioner.
    » Do Not Rejoice. God punished nations for rejoicing in the punishment of the Jews and for adding to their misery by mistreating them.
    Chaldea will become plunder, all who plunder her will have enough declares the Lord. Because you are glad, because you are jubilant, O you who pillage My heritage, because you skip about like a threshing heifer and neigh like stallions. (Jeremiah 50: 10-11)
    » Not Abandoned. At the fall of Babylon, God said that although they were punished they were not rejected.
    For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken by his God, the Lord of hosts, although their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel. (Jeremiah 51: 5)
What Did Jesus Know? And How Did He Know It?
Let us assume that God did not appear to Him and give Him a written schedule of events, then how did He know what to do and when events should occur? With the help of the Holy Spirit He learned them through the laws, the prophecies, the ceremonies, the twelve tribes and the life of His forefathersbecause they contained all the signs.
  • My Time Has Not Come (John 2: 4). When His mother asked Him to turn water to wine, He knew that it was not yet time for Him to give His blood. From the scriptures He knew that He must be 33 when He died and that He must minister for about three and a half years. So He must begin His ministry at 30 years of age.
    • 33.5 Years (400 months). He would spend about 400 months in the land of sin, just as Israel spent 400 years in the land of Egypt. Then He would make His exodus from the land.
    • 30 Years. By law He could not be a priest until He was 30 years old.
    • 3.5 Years. He knew that the law of the fruit harvest required no harvest can be brought to God until the fourth year after planting. He was the firstfruit in the wavesheaf offering.
    So by simple mathematics He concluded that His 3.5 year mission begins at age thirty and ends at age 33.5.
  • Passover Death. He must die during a Passover that was a high Sabbath, because the offering must be made during three days and this must include a day of rest.
  • Anointed for Death. When Mary anointed Him, it confirmed His timetable that He would appear again to her in glory eight days later, after a high Sabbath. He was 33.5 years and this Passover was a high Sabbath. So He went to Jerusalem on the donkey.
  • Donkey (Mark 11: 1-8). The role of Issachar, Balaam's donkey and the statement of Zechariah 9: 9 confirmed what He must do.
    » Passover Gift. He would receive a gift of a donkey, bread and wine when he was being pursued by His betrayer at Passover (2 Samuel 16: 1).
  • Upper Room (Mark 14: 12-16). Similarly the haven of the upper room that signified the role of Zebulun was arranged for Him. God prepared a table for Him in the midst of His enemies.
    Now on the first day of Unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover"? And He said, Go to the city to a certain man, and say to him "the Teacher says, my time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples". (Matthew 26: 17-18)
    » Shunammite Woman. Perhaps the people who supplied the donkey and the upper room did an act of faith just as Mary had done and the Shunammite woman who prepared an upper chamber and food for Elisha (2 Kings 4: 8-10).
    This woman was separated from her son at noon, just as Mary was separated from Christ before the darkness at noon. Both women were informed of the miraculous birth of a son within one year and both received their son back from the dead. The story of the resurrection of the son shows that the revival and resurrection were separate actions. He was first revived or warmed before He was raised from the dead.
    » The Sukkah. The four days between Yom Kippur and Tabernacles (Tishri 11-14) was the time for building the sukkah. Since the offerings for all feasts were made on Nisan 14, Jesus realized that a room must be completed so that He could eat in it by Nisan 14.
  • A Man Carrying Water (Luke 22: 10-12). Follow the man who will lead you to where the wine will be poured.
    And He said to them, "when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house that he enters". And you shall say to the owner of the house, the Teacher says to you, "where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples"? And he will show you a large, furnished upper room, prepare it there. (Luke 22: 10-12)
    On the feast of Tabernacles was a water libation ceremony in which the priest carried water in a gold pitcher and led a procession back to the sanctuary where it was poured out with the wine.
    » Draw out Abundant Water. The man carrying the pitcher of water could also fulfill Deuteronomy 33: 19.
    » Hospitality of the Water Carriers. This was the same sign used by Rachel and Rebekah. Their kindness in giving water to the stranger was proof that they were the wives chosen by God.
  • His Betrayer (Mark 14: 18-20). He knew that one would betray Him but how did He know that it was the one who would eat with Him and dip into the bowl?
    And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me. (Matthew 26: 23)
    Psalm 41: 9 points to betrayal by a friend at a meal. The events could only indicate betrayal at the Passover meal. There were two bowls at the seder, one with salt water to represent the tears of sorrow and the other with nuts and spices to represent His burial. Judas must be the type of one who caused Him sorrow by dipping into the bowl of salt water.

    » Dipping Twice on Passover. On all other nights they dipped once, on Passover night the custom is to dip twice to represent the fact that they had to dip a leafy branch to smear lamb's blood on the doorpost. Judas was the second dipper who was responsible for spilling the blood of Jesus and smearing it on the door of the sanctuary.
    The responsibility of the priests for the death of Christ was encoded in their role as the priests who supervised the killing of the sacrifice. But the responsibility of Judas for His death was encoded as the leader of the family who smeared the blood on the door. In all aspects of His life Judas appears to be the thief who doubled dipped into treasures that were not his own.
    » Dipping Twice on Yom Kippur. The priest dipped with both hands in the bowl to retrieve the two lots. On one lot was the word, "For the Lord" and on the other was the words, "For Azazel". Jesus and Judas were the Lord's goat and the scape goat. They were also the priests who dipped two hands in the bowl.
  • One Disciple Lost. He knew that one would be lost because of Dan, the serpent. This disciple would also be a son of Satan because he was a serpent like Satan.
    "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. (John 17: 12)

    » Azazel: The Son of Perdition. If Christ, the Lord's goat was the Son of God, then Judas the scapegoat was the son of Azazel or the son of perdition. The son of perdition was the serpent and the scapegoat, just like his father.
    » Eleven Stars Bow Down. Joseph's dream indicates that eleven would honor the Messiah (Genesis 37: 9).
    » The Wicked Counselor. A trusted advisor would betray him (2 Samuel 15: 31).
  • Peter Denies Him Three Times Before Cockcrow. You really need to understand the prophecy of the 12 tribes to grasp some of this significance. How did He know that it was Peter, or that it would be three times and before the second cockcrow (Mark 14: 72)? This prophecy was fulfilled in several cycles.
    • Peter Denies Him.
      » The Denial (Verbal Stones). Peter boasted that he would never abandon Christ even if the others did. Jesus knew that all of them would abandon Him and that He would be reduced to ashes before the cock crowed. His name was Simon, but Jesus named him Peter, which meant "little stone" (Matthew 16: 16-18). So Peter, the last one to abandon Him, would be the one to throw verbal stones at Him. There is also the prophecy from 2 Samuel 17: 13 which predicts that not even a "little stone" would remain when the city was torn down. The twelve disciples are foundation stones of the city (Revelation 21: 14). So Jesus had to identify the last one who would be the "little stone". He identified him from the beginning, because he was the first who would also be the last.
      » The Firstborn Disciple. Simon Peter was the first disciple called (Mark 1: 16-20). The prophecies indicate that the firstborn would lose preeminence. So Jesus gave him a new name, which would symbolize his disgrace. He became the disgraced firstborn disciple who lost preeminence when He denied Jesus. Instead, a child of the last son gained the preeminence. Paul was from the line of Benjamin.

      » The Succession of Popes. So the claim about the succession of popes from Peter is based on one who had lost the blessing. This claim is prophetic, because God rejects this son for a future son.
    • The Cock Crows Twice. Cockcrow announced the coming of dawn.
      » The Cockcrow (Alarm). The prophecy of the disassembly of the sanctuary before moving shows that Reuben, the first born, will move when the second alarm sounds (Numbers 10: 6, 18). So Peter, the first disciple called, denied Jesus before the cock crowed two times and then Peter left Him at the sounding of the alarm.
      » The Shofar. I suspecct that the sounding of the shofar at Passover and Tabernacles is also related to this fulfillment.
      » The Trials. When the cock crowed the second time, He had been through the two Jewish trials. After this He would be handed over to Rome. So, Annas, Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin crowed two times, announcing His guilt.
    • Three Denials. Peter denied Him and cursed.
      Cursing and Denying. But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!" Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep. (Mark 12: 71-72)
      The source of this information is probably out of the law of curses.
      » The Third Curse. The law specifies only five curses.
      1. Children Taken. The children would be taken away by the end of the third curse. So all the disciples must be gone by then.
      2. War. War is the next curse and the army of soldiers who came to arrest Him signified the beginning of the war. The sound of the rooster was the sound of the war trumpet as Israel responded to the attack. So the children must be taken before the war trumpet sounded. The rooster sounded at the time He would be handed over to the Gentiles.
      3. Wrath. The final curse is wrath which He suffered on the cross.
      Other symbols mimic these events.
      » Three Times. Judah, Issachar and Zebulun were three tribes who had symbolically denied Him before Reuben, the tribe who sounded the second alarm.
      » Three Times (Western Tribes). However, the crowing of the cocks began after Jesus was arrested. On the western side He experienced shame, humiliation and betrayal symbolized by these three tribes. Manasseh was the tribe which symbolized that Peter "forgot" Him. Joseph received a double inheritance and Ephraim is symbolically part of his inheritance. Here He was not fruitful and reproach was heaped on Him. So by the time we reach Manasseh, He had travelled through two camps, but He had passed through three tribes, Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.
      » Three Curses. Between Judah and Benjamin, three tribes said the curse (Zebulun, Reuben and Gad) The blessings of Moses capture what happened to Jesus. He received the opposite of these blessings.
      Peter Went Forth. Of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going forth ... (Deuteronomy 33: 18)
      His Men Were Few. May Reuben live and not die, Nor his men be few. (Deuteronomy 33: 6)
      He Was Not Enlarged. Of Gad he said, "Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad ..." (Deuteronomy 33: 20)
  • Sequence of Events in the Last Seven Days (Mark 10: 33-34). The prophecy of the siege of the twelve tribes.
  • Three Days and Nights in the Bowels (Matthew 12: 38-41). He knew that He would be in trouble for three days and be raised up on the third day. He probably knew about this mostly from this prophecy about the tribes. When He knew about the sequence of His suffering, by whom and for how long, then He saw the similarity to Jonah.
    » Swallowed. Jonah and the great fish showed that He would be vomited out after three days of despair.
    » Torn Down. A resting place was found for the sanctuary after three days of disassembly and wandering.
  • Resurrection. He knew that He would be resurrected without seeing corruption of His body. The laws about the offering say that He must be buried quickly and the offering was unacceptable after the third day. The wavesheaf is presented before God after the Sabbath.
The Origin Of The Concept Of The Messiah (Moshiach)
Scholars always try to disparage the Jewish and Christian faiths. Now they claim that Zoroastrianism is the source of the concept of the Messiah. The Jews were captured by Cyrus and the Persians around 538 BC, so many scholars claim that the Jews and Christians stole this idea of a Messiah during their captivity.
Zoroaster lived between 660-583 BC or 1500 BC, scholars are not sure. The 900 year gap in time is so wide, this margin of error gives room for any conclusion. I suspect that they decided that Zoroaster was the source of the concept but their best proofs places Zoroaster's existance in 660-593 BC. However, Israel appeared as a nation in 1000-1500 BC. So they are trying to place his existance at the earliest point in Jewish history where they appeared as a nation at the exodus in 1500 BC when Moses wrote the Torah to enhance their claim that Zoroaster was the source.

So it is very convenient that having decided that Zoroaster is the source that they will offer this wide range of dates for his life. It proves that they do not know when he first appeared and that they are not dating the appearance of a man, but the appearance of an idea. Having found the idea they are determined to place Zoroaster in that time period despite the evidence that he lived in the sixth century before Christ.

» Proof of Hebrew Origin (2200-1500 BC). This lesson demonstrates extremely detailed Messianic prophecies in the laws of Moses. It clearly shows that the concept of the Messiah must have originated with the Jews, hundreds of years before the Persians.
  • Jewish Prophecies from Adam and Eve (4000 BC). The earliest reference to the work of the Messiah came when Eve was promised a Son who would deliver her by crushing the head of the serpent (Genesis 3).

    » Transfer of Knowledge: Common History. So at this point the ancestors of all people knew that the Messianic figure would be wounded but would kill the serpent, and retained the knowledge of a conquering Messiah.
    Other common religious practices such as animal sacrifices can be traced to the first parents, not as a result of stealing from another religion.
  • Jewish Prophecies Since Abraham (2147 BC). Although Moses wrote the Torah in 1500 BC, he outlines 2000 years of history which shows that mature Messianic prophecies existed since Abraham who was called in 2147 BC, over 600 years before any claim of Zoroaster's earliest existance in 1500BC. We show the Messianic prophecies in other lessons on the early patriarchs who lived before Moses.

    » Transfer of Knowledge: Monotheism. Abraham taught monotheism and the Messiah, hundreds of years before Zoroaster.
    » Transfer of Knowledge: Chronology. Even the Zoroastrian chronology can be found in detail as a prophecy that unfolded between Jacob and Moses (2000-1460 BC). The details about what would happen is encoded and repeated in four sets of events that occurred before Zoroaster. See the lesson on the journey of the faithful.
  • Jewish Prophecies During the Exodus (1500-1460 BC). Moses was 80 years old when He began the 40 year exodus around 1500 BC. He writes the most detailed information about the Messiah in the laws.
    » Transfer of Knowledge: The Suffering Messiah. So it is more likely that the incredible events of the exodus in 1500 BC spread the faith and fame of the Hebrews around the region.
    » Transfer of Knowledge: The Conquering Messiah. In fact, at the end of the exodus (1460 BC), a prophet named Balaam predicted that a star would accompany the birth of the Jewish Messiah. He worked for the Moabites and surrounding nations who tried to curse the Jews, but he could not. Instead He made this great prediction about the Jewish conquerer (Numbers 24: 17).
  • Persian Exile (539-330 BC). Either the prophet Malachi or Elijah introduced the concept that Elijah would return to introduce the Jews to the Messiah. This knowledge was incorporated in the ritual of the Passover Seder. The Seder is an extremely detailed prophecy of the sequence of events in the last hours of the Messiah.

    » Transfer of Knowledge: Persian Jews. Although Zoraster lived before the Persian captivity, critics of the Jews and Christians believed that this was when the Jews stole these ideas which are reflected in the wrtings of the prophets after this period. I beg to differ. The most detailed Messianic Jewish writings were hundreds of years before the Persian exile. From Daniel to Esther, the wife of Ahasuerus, the Bible records are clear that the Persians were fearful of the Hebrew God and came to worship Him as a nation (Esther 9). The transfer of the monotheistic religion came from the Jews to the Persians!
  • Mature Prophecies. A comparison of the Jewish prophecies and the Zoroastrian Soshyant (savior) shows such a detailed description of the Messiah by the Hebrews that it becomes very obvious that Zoroaster only had the bare outline of the works of this powerful figure. The fuzzier and skimpier details is proof of the recipient of a story, not the authors or the original source.
    Basically, all they knew was that he was a powerful king who would fight evil and destroy the world at the end of time. Then perfection will be restored. This is the same knowledge since Adam and Eve. So Zoroaster did not introduce it to the world, he only repeated the stories that he and all people grew up with since Adam.

    » Transfer of Knowledge: Daniel. Daniel, who was made head over all the astrologers, was the likely source of the transfer or new infusion of knowledge in this late period. He resurrected this important ancient knowledge and added more details for the Persians. This may be why there seems to be a new period of interest around 600 BC which is creating confusion about when Zoroaster was alive.
    There is even evidence that they may have thought that the Soshyant would be a Jewish king. In fact, when Jesus was born, it was the Persian Magi who followed ancient prophecies to look for an important Jewish king!

    The Conquering Jewish King. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying, "Where is where is He that is born king of the Jew? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him". (Matthew 2: 1-2)
    Adam, Eve and Balaam could have been the source of some of this knowledge. But it is more likely that Daniel must have taught them this because He had detailed prophecies about the timing of the coming of the Messiah. Daniel must have been the one who convinced them that the conqueror announced since Eve would be Jewish.

    God blessed Daniel's faithfulness to Him, so that he became the head of the soothsayers and officials in Babylon and Persia because the Hebrew God proved that He was more powerful than the Babylonian (Daniel 2: 46-49) and Persian gods (Daniel 7: 25-28). The kings of these nations issued laws throughout their kingdom that they should worship the Hebrew God. So knowledge transferred from Daniel to the Babylonians and Persians about monotheism and the Messiah around 600 BC.
    Find me another clear, detailed hisorical document that says otherwise.
So I conclude from the evidence in the Messianic prophecies, that the concept of the Messiah-Redeemer existed from Eden, when Eve sinned and a Deliverer-Son was promised (˜4000 BC). It appeared in very concrete forms to Abraham and all His children after 2147 BC, then was formalized in the laws of Moses in 1500 BC, and preached by the rebellious prophet Balaam around 1460 BC, the earliest time in which they can place Zoroaster.
Therefore, it is more likely that the concept of the Messiah originated with the ancestors of the Jews and they spread this knowledge to the surrounding nations at the exodus and to their captors in Babylon, Persia and Greece.
By choosing to accept the story about a man whom many people have forgotten and ignoring the Jewish texts and miraculous survival of a small group of people for 4000 years through many long periods of foreign oppression, genocide and attempts to stamp out their religion, these revisionist historians who hate Judaism and Christianity are ignoring the historical evidence that Zoroaster was probably Daniel or a Persian astrologer under Daniel's rule.
Symbols Of Paganism In Christianity
While the Jews did a very good job of protecting their religious heritage over 4000 years, the Christians were very careless in protecting this heritage. They took popular things from other religions to incorporate abominations in their rituals for the purpose of attracting the people.
God was very meticulous and careful in establishing His symbols and signs. He made the righteous reenact the signs throughout their lives and repeated the same themes in many prophecies, dreams, visions and laws. With this knowledge of the importance of signs and symbols, try to justify our present actions. Why have God's original symbols been replaced by pagan abominations that honor pagan seasons, times, saints and gods?

God's feasts are meant to commemorate the great deliverances over the major powers that conquered them.
  • Passover (Nisan 14-21). Deliverance from slavery in Egypt. Christ delivers us from slavery to sin.
  • Shavuot or Pentecost "The Feast of Weeks" (Tishri-Shavout). God gave the law on Mount Sinai. Coming of the Holy Spirit to deliver us from sin and write the law in our hearts.
  • Rosh Hashannah (Tishri 1). The beginning of the new year and the ten day preparation for Yom Kippur.
  • Yom Kippur "The Day of Atonement" (Tishri 10). The day Israel is cleansed from all sin.
  • Sukkot "Feast of Tabernacles" (Tishri 15-21). A feast that commemorates the harvest and living with God. Babylon fell and Noah's ark came to rest during this feast.
  • Other Great Feasts. Only Passover, Pentecost and the fall feasts were obligated by law because they were based on the deliverance from Egypt and the other deliverances had not occurred yet.
    • Hanukkah or "The Feast of Lights" (Kislev 25). It occurs in the ninth month, around December. It celebrates the delivery from the abominations and corruption by the Greeks under Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the restoration of the sanctuary by the Maccabeans. They rededicated the temple using the one vial of pure lamp oil with the special seal which they found. They use this vial to light the menorah and it miraculously stays lit for eight days instead of one. It symbolized victory over the Antichrist figure.
    • Purim or "The Feast of Lots" (Adar 14-15). Delivery from total annhilation from the Persians and an Antichrist figure. This resembles the deliverance we will have at the Second Coming. It occurs in the twelfth month around the time of St. Valentine's day (February to March).
  • Delivered from the Romans. There will be a new feast to celebrate our deliverance from Rome.
But Paganism has introduced festivals that compete with God's holy feasts.
    Origin of Easter Symbols
    Eostre, a Saxon goddess was celebrated at the spring equinox. In ancient Babylon she is known as Astarte and Ishtar and as Venus or Isis in other cultures.
    » Easter Egg. One of her symbols was the egg which symbolized her fertility in the spring. Ishtar's son was Tammuz (Nimrod) who died violently. Her "weeping" caused his resurrection in the spring.
    » Easter Rabbit. The Pennsylvania Dutch introduced the easter rabbit who lays the easter egg.
    » Merged With Christianity. The schedule was changed from Passover to the Pagan calendar and the seder was replaced with just bread and wine.
  • Easter. A spring festival that celebrates renewal and fertility. The Christian celebration has changed the observed time from Passover season to the Pagan method of dating and then made up the schedule according to their belief about what the celebration should include. Pentecost is calculated by counting fifty days but it rarely coincides with the true Pentecost.
    • Easter Symbols ("Bunny, Egg"). These are the most popular symbols of easter. What does the easter bunny and egg teach about the Plan of Salvation and the mission that Christ accomplished? How did they help Him to know the way He must walk and the cup that He must drink?
    • Easter ("Bread, Wine, Cross"). Why is the Eucharist or communion bread, one cup of wine and our modern rituals extremely inferior to the Passover ritual?
    • Easter Celebrations. Before the season begins, it is the tradition to throw a wild party that highlights all the excesses of sin. It is usually preceeded by carnival or Margi Gras (Fat Tuesday). Ash Wednesday begins the next day, marking the first day of lent.
    • Passover ("Seder, Lamb"). Read the lesson on the Passover Seder and look at what you have lost in not knowing the true meaning of the Passover Seder and see if this is not the hand of the enemy of God. Even observed as a purely Jewish ritual it is still a far superior ceremony that speaks about the day Christ died in a much more profound language than our Easter ceremonies.
    So Easter added nothing to our understanding but took away everything that we will need to give the Gospel to the Jews. What remains of the original Passover feast is eating unleavened bread and drinking one tiny cup of wine.
    Passover drinks four cups and eats other foods in a precise ritual that prophesied about the order of events at His death by reenacting the actions of Christ on the day He died 1500 years before He was born. What does the bunny and egg have to say about that!
    BunnyPagan Customs. When the Lord your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take care to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them ... do not enquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.' You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way ... Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it. (Deuteronomy 12: 29-32)

    » What is Wrong With Easter? It destroys the symbols of resting from sin.
    • Timing. The actual timing of the crucifixion was the convergence of the full moon on Passover and a Friday. Only at that time could He guarantee that He would be dead during the Sabbath day. So the symbolic significance in the convergence is the full moon and the Sabbath, not Friday and Sunday. Why?
      • Full Moon. So Easter elevated the importance of the day of the week over the date which always occurred on a full moon. In doing so, the holiday is only rarely celebrated during the full moon. The full moon points to Christ and the central role of His church in the Plan of Salvation. The full moon and the Sabbath will be celebrated in the new earth.
        » Rest from Darkness (A Light in the Dark). The full moon was most important because God would bring the greatest light when it was darkest. In the darkness of an eclipse, He would hide our sins and pass over us. If our fake Passover is not celebrated during the greatest light from heaven in the darkness, then it is a useless symbol of the works of God.
        » A Guaranteed Sabbath Rest. To ensure that the significance of a Sabbath rest was always celebrated with the full moon, God made a mandatory Sabbath for the day after the full moon, no matter which day of the week that occurred.
      • Friday. The Easter resurrection is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. So Easter is always on a Friday as it was on the day of the crucifixion.
        » Rest from Sin and Death. Friday is of secondary importance, but it shows that God rested from His works of recreation (salvation) just as He did at creation. He was dead during the Sabbath. Here, we rest from sin when we are recreated or born again.
        » No Guaranteed Light. While God can make a Sabbath rest for the day after the full moon, we can never make a full moon occur on the day after Good Friday. So the full moon is the key, not Friday.

        Full MoonHigh Sabbath
        FridaySaturday
      • High Sabbath. We have lost the concept of waiting for the high Sabbath when the symbols converged. Only about once every seven years a full moon would converge with a Friday. God merged the full moon and rest from sin with the rest from creation. The separation of the two symbols shows that in the timing of our salvation, Christ could only be sent when all conditions are perfect. He could not come at any time.
        » Resting from Creation. By forcing Easter on Friday, we are only celebrating rest from creation if we also keep the seventh day Sabbath. But we are not celebrating rest from sin and conquering the darkness which is the rebirth and recreation.
        During Christ's final week He must have followed the plan of creation in our recreation.
        1. Nisan 9 (Light). Christ came riding on a donkey as a light to the temple. (Ezekiel 43: 1-2,3)
        2. Nisan 10 (Waters Separated). He drove out the money changers, cleansing the temple.
        3. Nisan 11 (Trees and Earth). After cursing the fig tree the day before to signify His disappointment in the Jews, He became the Tree of Life by remaining the last faithful Jew. He became the Vine and the Branch who was cut down and buried in the earth for our sins.
        4. Nisan 12 (Sun, Moon and Stars). On the fourth day the signs were created. The Son who came from heaven tells about the signs of His Second Coming.
        5. Nisan 13 (Fish and Birds). Judas plots with the priests to swallow and kill Him.
        6. Nisan 14 (Animals and Man). Passover seder and crucifixion. On this day Christ recreated the human race and paid the price for our salvation by becoming the Lamb of God.
        7. Nisan 15 (Sabbath Rest). Dead and buried, He rested from His works of recreation.
      From a standpoint of conquering sin by conquering the darkness, the full moon speaks volumes to the church who can be a light to the world because of Christ's sacrifice.
      In instituting the Passover, God chose to highlight the significance of the full moon over the day of the week. For over 1500 years the Jews celebrated Passover on a full moon, not on Friday.
    • Pagan Contamination. It is full of Pagan symbols and God is extremely meticulous about His symbols.

  • Halloween "All Hallows' Eve" (October 31)
    Origin of Halloween Symbols
    It involves Druid beliefs about the state of the dead.
    » Merged With Christianity. There is no equivalent Christian festival. The church simply took over a Pagan custom and made up a Christian reason to perform the same rituals.
    » Ignored Christian Feasts. The fall feasts are completely ignored by most Christians. They prophesy about what is happenning now and in the future.
    The Druids believed that witches, black cats, gnomes, demons, ghosts and spirits of the dead roamed the earth on October 31. To protect themselves from the mean tricks of these spirits the Druids did several things.
    • Bonfires. Bonfires were lit to drive away the bad spirits. On the bonfires, human or animal sacrifices were offered to the Lord of Death, Satan.
      » Fortune Telling. As they watched the writhing of the victims, they would foretell the future of the village.
    • Candy (Trick or Treat). They offered them good things to eat.
    • Costumes (Ghosts, Devils and Witches). They disguised themselves to look like the spirits, tricking them into thinking that they were one of them.
    • Jack-o-Lantern (Carved Pumpkin). They intimidated the demons by carring a pumpkin, turnip or potato with a fearful, demonic face carved into it.
    These customs are celebrated today as Halloween by dressing up in costumes, playing trick or treat, giving candy, wearing masks, and carrying jack-o-lanterns.
    » All Saints' Day or "All Hallowed Day" (November 1). The Roman Catholic Church set aside November 1, the day after the Druid festival, to honor all the saints who had no special days of their own and to pray for the souls of the dead in purgatory.
    WitchLet no one be found among you who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft or casts spells, or who is a medium or a spiritist or a necromancer. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord". (Deuteronomy 18: 10-12)
  • Christmas (December 25). Christmas is purely Pagan mixture of nature worship and Pagan deities. As various groups became Christian, they brought their customs and ancient gods and practiced the same rituals in the name of Christ. The only Christian symbols are those that reanact the story. These are angels, a star, the baby in the manger, shepherds and the wise men. But Christ was born on the feast of tabernacles, not Christmas day.
    • December 25 (Dies Natalis Invicti Solis or The Birthday of the Unconquered Sun). The birth of Mithra, the Iranian god of light from the cosmic egg on the winter solstice. The Romans celebrated the winter solstice on that day and Babylon celebrated the feast of the son of Isis with partying, gift giving and gluttony.
      » Saturnalia (December 17-23). The Roman winter holiday which honors Saturn, the god of agriculture.
    • Mummers. Costumed singers and dancers who went from house to house entertaining the neighbours in ancient Rome.
    • Christmas Tree. The Scandinavians worshipped trees and the Germans decorated them.
    • Yule Log. The Norse burned a huge log once year to Thor, the god of thunder.
    • Santa Claus. Saint Nicolas, Bishop of Myra in Lycia around 300 AD who entered homes through the chimney bringing gifts.
      » Enters Through The Chimney. The Norse believed the goddess, Hertha appeared in the fireplace and brought good luck to the house.

    » Merged With Christianity. Emperor Constantine declared December 25 to be the birthday of Christ. Then in 350, Pope Julius I declared that Christ's birth would be celebrated on December 25.
    » Mithraism (Antichrist). This religion was a copy of Christ in many ways. Judgment, an intercessor and redeemer figure who will return. But Sunday was the holy day dedicated to the sun.
    TreeChristmas Tree. Do not learn the way of the Gentiles ... For the customs of the people are futile [vain]; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with an axe. They decorate it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple.(Jeremiah 10: 2-4)
  • Death and Hell. We have also taken the Greek and Roman mythology into our concept of hell. In this hell is an eternally burning place of torture ruled by Satan bearing a pitchfork. This distorts and maligns the image and character of God.
God's Signs Replaced. Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs. We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet, nor is there any among us who knows how long. (Psalm 74: 4, 9)
Pagans and heathens base their signs and omens on random events like reading tea leaves, reading palms, animal behavior and personal feelings attached to experiences. But God bases His signs on laws and customs that He has established to explain a specific plan, removing any chance of private interpretation. This age old Plan of Salvation is being executed according to the schedule and events determined before the creation. So its signs, symbols and rituals are as important as any sign on a map and cannot be rearranged and reinterpreted like a set of Leggo toys.
Even if you could find any redeeming quality in the human customs, how do you justify ignoring the signs and symbols of God? When the enemies of God usurp His signs, we will lose our way. Future generations will not understand the meaning. We will not know where we are prophetically and we will not know where we are going and how long it will take.
Jesus knew what to do because the signs were being faithfully observed by the Jews. Let us look at this remarkable system.
Study to show yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.   2 Timothy 2: 15Time: 300 minutes
