Happy Passover and The Feast of Unleavened Bread!

Yesterday in my brief mention of Passover, I mentioned that today on God’s Calendar is the actual Passover and Feast of Unleavened week. I can prove that Jesus was following a different calendar than that of the Pharisees and the Sadducees that were controlling the temple in His day.

I am going to read a couple of verses to prove to you that Jesus did not follow the Last Supper a day earlier that He was supposed to. In fact, it is clear in Scripture that Christ followed the Passover at the RIGHT time, but He was following a different calendar then the temple was following. This way He kept the Passover as usual on the correct day, but He died on the day that happens to be the Jewish Passover that happens to be on the following day. So, Christ died at the time the Jews were slaying the lambs for their Passover. 

When we first go to Matthew Chapter 26 vs 2, “Now it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these things that He said to His disciples, you know that after two days is the Passover…and the Son of man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

Later on in that same chapter, verse 17 it goes on to say, “Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus saying, where do you want us to prepare and eat the Passover?’ Notice that very clearly, the Passover is that day that they are talking about. “Now on the first day of the Feast…”. That is an important point to notice. The disciples came to him on the day of Passover and not a day early.

The next book of Mark, we will see verse 12, “Now on the first day of the unleavened Bread when they killed the Passover Lamb, the disciples said to Him where do you want us to go to eat the Passover.” So again, on the day of the Passover Lamb, Christ is eating the Passover that night and that is the same night of His Passover, but we know from other scriptures that it is not the Jewish Passover.

The same thing happens again in Luke 22:7, The Passover has the same type of wording. “Then came the day of Unleavened Bread when the Passover Lamb must be killed, and He sent Peter and John saying Go Prepare your way for the Passover”. 

In the book of John, it is so clear to show that the Jews were following a different Passover. It says in John Chapter 19 verse 12, “from then on, Pilot said to Him, are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have the power to crucify you or not? Jesus said, “you have no power against me unless it was given to you from above.”. “Now we know Jesus is before Pilot, the night before he had his Passover meal, the right day… Now it says, “the preparation day of the Passover”. It was about the 6th hour and Pilot said to the Jews, “Behold your King ”. So, the Jewish Passover was the following day after Jesus was following the Passover. 

In our calendar, we start the year at the Spring Equinox, which I believe is the perfect calendar year and God is perfect…but is there a time when Jesus started His ministry at around 30 years old and that would be depending on which scholar you would be listening to, about 30 AD. He died as most scholars agree, 29-33 AD, most leaning to 33AD. But if you take a look and see if there was any time that the Jewish Passover was a day after the April 3rd Passover in which you see the accompanying chart you can look at it while you listen and put in the Gregorian date which is April 3rd in the year 30 and you can see that it was the Hebrew date of the 14th. 

The day that Christ April 3rd was the day after He had His Passover meal and that was the day that the Jews had their Passover that night because remember the Jews follow and still do to this day, an evening-to-evening day. It is very easily proven that the day begins at sunrise and ends the following sunrise, and the new day begins.

I will prove that in the New Testament as well.

I want to show you that Jesus was NOT following, as many people believe, a different Passover because He knew He was going to die on the real Passover. He actually followed the real Passover but the real Passover coincided the following day so He would die on the day of THEIR Passover when in God’s calendar He dies during the daytime of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 

Remember that although the day starts at sunrise and that is how you figure this out…Holy Day sometimes starts at the evening of the same day. So the Jewish preparation day for them is the 13th and the 14th begins at sunset the same day which is ridiculous…but in God’s calendar, the 14th starts in the morning. That same evening is still the 14th when you slay and eat the lamb. 

The following day is the 15th. 

Which would be our April 3rd. That is the day called Unleavened Bread and when Jesus died in the afternoon which is a Wednesday. If you put that in the calendar you will find out the only way Jesus died on the Wednesday was exactly following the calendar that I propose. How do we know that He died on a Wednesday? Very simply, Jesus said that He would be like the prophet Jonah, who was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, that Jesus would be in the belly of the earth for the same, for three days and three nights. That is how He claims to prove who He claimed to be!

If Jesus was not at least 72 hours in the heart of the earth, then He would be a liar by His own words. 

When you go from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning and we know the tomb was already empty by Sunday morning, that is not three days and three nights…and this nonsense of partial days and partial nights and they try and show you this is Easter, this is all pagan crap that they are trying to shove down your throat and tell you it is Biblical. We know that the tomb was empty at the beginning of the first day of the week…therefore, three days, Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon is one day, Thursday to Friday day two, Friday to Saturday three days…Sunday morning the tomb is empty…so we know that Christ had to die on a Wednesday and the Last Supper had to happen on a Tuesday. When you go through that converted date and find out when the Jewish Passover begins on a Wednesday night, it only happens in AD 30. This is the perfect timeline of when it is supposed to happen.

Now to prove that the day starts in the morning and does not end at evening as the Jewish people say, all one has to do is go to John 20 and see what it says, “on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early while it was still dark and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb”. So, before dawn on the first day of the week, Sunday morning that is, the tomb was already empty. 

There goes your theory of a sunrise worshipping Easter morning ceremony.

It was before sunrise, the end of the Sabbath and we go to other versions of this scripture here, you can see this in Mark 16 when the Sabbath was PAST, Mary Magdalene, the mother of James brought the spices that they may come to anoint Him. Very early in the morning on the first day of the week…”. SO, it is saying that the Sabbath is over and early morning begins the new day of the first day of the week. People who believe in the evening day will say that corresponds with what we say, the Sabbath ended at 6 o’clock Saturday night and Sunday morning was the first day of the week, but the book of John disproves this. 

We read in the book of John in verse 20, on the first day of the week in the morning time before the sun appears, just as it is coming up, beginning the day, it says while it is still dark, being the first day of the week…okay? Now we go to the same chapter in John Chapter 20 vs 19…the girls had gone to the tomb, it was empty, they told the disciples and they didn’t believe them and they ran to the tomb and found HIs burial cloth and the angels asked what are you looking for as He was resurrected as HE said He would, but let’s go to John Chpt 20 where the first day of the week is morning before light time…and let’s see if it fits into the Jewish idea that the evening would start the second day of the week…wouldn’t Sunday evening then be the second day of the week if you go from sunset to sunset? But verse 19 says, “Then the same day at evening (at nighttime) being the first day of the week when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said peace be with you”. There is proof that Sunday night is still the first day of the week in God’s calendar.  Because of God’s calendar the day goes from sunrise to sunrise. 

This is the same in Genesis, then came evening then came morning, the first day..MORNING ended the first day and began the second day.  So, Jesus was following the calendar that The Plain Truth Bible says He was following. You know the date now that Jesus died. He died on April 3 30 AD. He was resurrected three days later. And I have that on this graph as well that we see here…he was resurrected on the Sabbath Day…He is Lord of the Sabbath after all, on April 6th which is the 18th day of the first month of God’s calendar. It was fulfilling the three days and the three nights prophecy that Jesus Christ came and said would prove that He was the Messiah. 

When you use this converted date calendar and realize that only one date can only possibly apply that the Jews were having a Passover after Christ had His meal, it could only happen on a Wednesday because it had to be three days and three nights, you know the only day available in AD 30 is Wednesday. Isn’t it amazing that 30 AD, the calendar that we propose on The Plain Truth as being God’s calendar fits exactly to the date.

Check this out…if you go back to the story of Noah and you read about the flood, you will see in the flood that the flood started, the 17th day of the second month it says, and it tells you when the ark came to the rest…and you find out that it first rested on Mt Sanai on the 17th day of the 7th month on the third day of The Feast of Tabernacles, so even in the time of Noah the dates going on that precisely with the holidays that God had ordained before the creation of the earth, would be the calendar times Passover, of the Feast of Weeks, Pentecost, Day of Atonement, and the Tabernacles…in fact, you can go back to Genesis and realize that the meal that Abraham’s wife cooked for the three angels, one of them really not an angel but Christ Himself who is God of the Old Testament, when they are going to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gamora, they fixed a meal of unleavened bread and wine…what that is telling me is that Abraham was observing a Passover meal with God and two angels going to destroy Sodom and Gamora which symbolizes the destruction of this earth…the kingdoms of this earth during the tribulation which is probably going to start at Passover…you can see by following God’s Holy Days, you really understand the plan of God, what God has planned for you, what God has planned for the world and it is not seen through pagan holidays that we want to worship through tradition.

Christmas is from Saturnalia, a pagan day that came out of Mithraism and the Babylonian religion and possibly the birthdate or creation date of Satan the devel. Easter was followed in 2024 BC as well as it is followed today in 2024 AD because of the fact that it was just the sunrise service that you find in pagan cultures that God condemns and to see where God condemns it by the way is to just go to Ezekiel, what I call the easter chapter, chapter 8 it reads, “and it came to pass that in the 6th year of the 6th month of the 5th day of the month as I was in my house and the elders of Judah sitting before me and the hand of the Lord fell over me…God says to Him Son of Man, lift up your eyes now toward the north and I lifted my eyes toward the north and there was north of the alter gate, an image of jealousy in the entry. That just simply means an idol that God does not like. and God said to me, Son of Man do you see what these people are doing, the great abomination that Israel commits against me and does to my sanctuary…but go inside my sanctuary and you will see a greater sin. He brought me into the inner court, and I saw all of these unclean animals and I will sow you something even worse than this. Turn again he says, and I will show you a greater abomination than all of this. So, he brought me to the door of the north gate of the Lord’s house, meaning the temple of God and in dismay women there were weeping for Tamuz. Now do a study and look up in a search engine who Tamuz is…he is a false Christ who supposedly was a son of Diana, Astarte, which is easter, that is the Babylonian name Astarte, that died and was resurrected from the dead. It is a false narrative of the Christ’s resurrection. He says have you seen this oh son of man and he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, inside the holy of holies, and I saw 25 men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east and they were worshipping the sun as it rose in the east. Is that a plain fact to you, a plain truth…when is the sun in the east? When it is rising and God says the worst abomination of everything is this worshipping of Tamuz the son of easter, Astarte, and worshipping the sun as it rises in the east…sunrise…have you ever heard of an Easter sunrise service? Go to the 8th chapter of Eziekiel and see what God thinks about having an easter sunrise service and you will find out that God is not very pleased with the whole thing.

Going through the Bible as you can see, the day begins in the morning and you cannot have an evening day and understand the Passover we correctly have shown to be, and why every calendar that you see showing the last week of Christ’s life using the Jewish reckoning of the day beginning in the evening is WRONG.

Passover does not make sense until the realize that the 14th day is the preparation day of God’s calendar and that night, the 14th night is the Passover meal. The 15th day is the day after the meal and the first day of Unleavened Bread. People will say to me that the feast starts at evening and ends 7 days later in the evening of the 21st. There is nothing mysterious about a holiday beginning in the evening of a day and actually going to another day, is there?

Let’s take for example, Christmas, you think of December 25th, correct? But you really are not thinking of the 25th because very little happens on the 25th and most of it is a boring day and I will prove it to you. When you are thinking of Christmas and you are thinking of singing Christmas Carols and exchanging gifts with everyone that is all happening on the night of December 24th called Christmas eve. This is the date of December the 24th. During the day of December 24 by the way, most people still are working. They are working and having office parties with mistle toe and kissing somebody else’s wife under the mistle toe and take a look at that practice as it has a lot to do with adultery and sexual deviancy…but the Christmas time that you think about sitting around the fire with stockings hanging down and exchanging presents with the lit Christmas tree with all of the bubbly lights and all of the niceties, I understand them I grew up with them, but that is December 24, not the 25th.

In my family we would get up at 3:30 in the morning, three boys, and we were ready to go. We had tons of gifts and we fell asleep by 5 in the morning and didn’t wake up until 11 o’clock and just played with our toys or went outside…Christmas was over, it basically means nothing to most people today, people think it does because it is the 25th on their calendar but they really do not celebrate Christmas on that day. Is it so hard then to imagine that a holiday can start on the night of the 14th and end on the daytime portion of the 15th day? Because that is exactly what we are talking about. We are not talking about this being proof of an evening day, we are showing that this particular holiday goes from evening to evening even though the day begins at sunrise. Christmas eve and Christmas day are the perfect analogy to what I am pointing out about Passover being on the same night as the lamb was killed that day, the 14th, and the 15th being the Feast of Unleavened Bread Day and Passover daytime as well. Therefore, on the 14th you are already to be clearing your house of yeast and it has to be done by the nighttime when you are ready to eat the lamb and have unleavened bread. You follow the Feast of Unleavened Bread until the evening of the 21st, 7 days of this, and actually the night of the 21st you could actually have leavened bread if you wanted to. The next day, the 22nd is the Feast of First Fruits which in my opinion symbolizes when Christ returned to Heaven, on the 8th day of Passover…the day after Passover, the holiday called the Feast of Frist Fruits…remember Christ is our First fruits, he is the first born of the dead. The Bible says this. He is the first born again person. Born again term doesn’t mean some kind of religious experience, it means resurrected from the dead and NO ONE has been resurrected from the dead other than Jesus Christ. He is the first born of many to follow at His coming.

1 Corinthians Chapter 15 will show you when the resurrection of the dead happening in Christ…Christians…find out when they are resurrected from the dead and you will see it is not upon their death…this is the resurrection chapter, it says that we will come back to live from immortality at His coming. That is after the tribulation when the millennium begins, and the resurrection of the church happens. Then it is 1000 years after Christ returns is the resurrection of the general population is judged according to their works. That is what your Bible says. This is not what Bob says, I am just telling you what your Bible says. Do not listen to your minister who is not telling you what the Bible plainly says. When your parents are dead, they are dead…and they are awaiting a resurrection either in the beginning of the millennium if they are Christians or in the end to be judged if they are not Christians. It is that simple.

When you follow God’s Holy Days rather than the worlds pagan traditional holidays, the whole plan of God becomes very plain and clear. today is the day of the Passover and the day when Christ actually died, April 3 in the afternoon, Jerusalem time. On the 15th of God’s month but on the 14th of the Jewish Calendar month, which was the wrong calendar to follow, but God made sure He died on that day to prove who He was. Then he was in the belly of the earth for three-days and three nights and resurrected Saturday evening and by Sunday morning the tomb was empty. That is The Plain Truth about Passover, the calendar, when the day begins and easter. It is all found in your Bible, not any unique Bible out there, it is in every single Bible, and they agree word wise…when He rose, when He died, and how many days it would be to prove He was the Messiah…when the tomb was already empty.

Happy Feast of Passover of Unleavened Bread my friends and we will see you again tomorrow.
