We will prove to the world Sunday is Satan's Sabbath Day
Matthew 27:45-51,
Jesus on the cross, his death, burial and the end of the animal sacrifice law and Levitical Priesthood
v-45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
v-46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
v-47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
v-48 And straight way one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
v-49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
v-50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
v-51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
No more holy of holies to make sacrifices for the high priest and the people, therefore the animal sacrifice law ended with the levitical priest hood at the death of Jesus. Now Jesus is our high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Listen to Jesus as he explain to the scribes and of the Pharisees how many hours are in a day. Jn:11-9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. Twelve hr in a day and 12hr in a night complete the 24hr daily cycle
Matt:12, 38-40 v-38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matt:28-1 In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. The Sabbath is over and Mary and her crew came to the sculpcher on Sunday it was yet dark, Jesus had already risen before sunset the end of the Sabbath.
Additionally, Deuteronomy 21:22-23 demands that an executed criminal be buried before nightfall, and the Jewish law of the time required all dead bodies to be buried before a Sabbath or a feast day (John 19:31).
Dan:9-27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
In v-27 it says, And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. Notice it didn't say he shall cause the ten commandments, or the feast days, or the dietary law to cease; but he specifically pointed out what would cease.
He said in the mist of the week: this is speaking of a literal week and a prophetic week. However, the literal week in this scripture is a seven day week, Jesus being put in the tomb in the mist of the week would be on Wednesday before sundown and rising on Saturday before sundown, thus giving you three days and three nights in the heart of the earth as Jesus said.
Impossible to get three days and three nights from good Friday to early Sunday morning: God never ordered Christians to have their holy convocation on Sunday except Pentecost. Jesus established a particular day to have his holy convocation or gathering of the saints specifically on the seventh day of the week. (Ex:20,7-11, v-10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath day of the Lord in it thou shall not do any work.)
Can you preach on Sunday yes and any other day but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord who commanded you to have a Holy Convocation. Whether you believe it or not Emperor Constantine changed the seventh day Sabbath to the first day Sunday in 325-ad, and Sunday worship for all Christians was declared by the Pope and placed under the protection of the state in 313 ad.
To all pastors that base your ministry on the premise that Jesus rose from the grave on Sunday, placing Jesus in the tomb on Friday evening and rising from the dead early Sunday morning; you are one of Satan's ministers worshiping the sun god Mithra. One theory holds that Christmas was set on December 25 to replace a Roman holiday, which had roots in a pagan cult of Sol Invictus (the unconquered sun) Some ancient solstice celebrations continue to the present. Iran's Yalda festival marks the day when Mithra, an angel of light, was thought to have been born.
2Corint:11,14-15 v-14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
v-15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Part 2
Was Jesus Resurrected Easter Sunday?Answer: Absolutely not!!!
Jesus rose on the Lord's Sabbath day before sunset
The Sign of Jonah
We can find more proof Jesus did not rise on Sunday by looking in the gospel of Matthew 12:40
Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. . . . "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And He left them and departed. (Matthew 16:1, 4)
He had this conversation before in Matthew 12:40, where He defines His terms: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." What Jesus actually said was he would be in the grave 72 hours.
Was Jonah in the fish's belly for 72 hr? Notice what Jesus said about the length of a day. John 11:9: "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" From this we can say the night is 12hr, then day and night together equal 24 hr. In {Gen:1,1-5}God declares the evening and the morning were the first day. God's day start in the evening at sunset so you can see one day ending and another beginning.
Jesus said He would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights as was Jonah in the fish's belly, a total of 72 hours. In John 2:19, He makes a similar statement in response to the Jews requesting a sign of His messiahship: "Destroy this temple [His body, verse 21], and in three days I will raise it up."
Also, John 20:1 tells us that “on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.”
Here is a problem? John tells us it was still dark when Mary went to the tomb on Sunday morning and found it empty. Jesus was resurrected already well before daybreak. Thus He wasn’t in the tomb any of the daylight portion of Sunday, so none of that can be counted as a day.
Keeping the right time
So we ask the question, who told Jesus to show the Pharisees and Sadducees the sign of the prophet Jonah? According to the scriptures the Father did.
Deut:18,18-19, v-18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
v-19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Jn:5,19,30,
v-19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise
v-30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Jn:12,49-50;
v- 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
v- 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Jn:8,26-27
v- 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
v- 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Now that we understand it is the Father that give Jesus what to say and do, we can say at the end of 72hrs the Father raised Jesus from the grave as he said, for the scripture cannot be broken {Jn:10-35} v-35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Remember Jesus did not raise himself from the grave, the dead no nothing: {Eccl: 9-5} Because the Father watched over the time Jesus was in the tombs we know his timing is perfect.
» 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Rom:6,3-4)
» . . . God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory. . . . (I Peter 1:21)
» . . . God the Father who raised Him from the dead. . . . (Galatians 1:1)
Palm Sunday: Another Lie!
Palm Sunday, celebrating Jesus' triumphal entrance into Jerusalem as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9: "Rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion! Shout O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a ass, a colt, the foal of a ass. Question, " Did this event happen on a Sunday? Absolutely not! we will prove it.
The Bible's chronology presents a problem for the traditional argument. John 12:1 says, "Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead." After Mary anoints Jesus' feet, the next time marker appears:
The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. The King of Israel!" (verses 12-13).
When Jesus comes to Bethany, it is six days to Passover or the ninth of Abib. The next day, the tenth, Jesus enters Jerusalem five days before Passover. The tenth of Abib is special because all Israelite's and strangers who believed the instructions God gave Moses, to take the Passover lamb into their homes and keep it until the fourteenth day (Exodus 12:3-6.
If his entry occurs on what so called Christians call Psalm Sunday, five days before Passover, the Passover must occur on Thursday the fifteenth of Abib not Friday! This alone destroys the Friday crucifixion-Sunday resurrection argument. The truth is, Christ enters Jerusalem on the Sabbath, is crucified on Wednesday, the fourteenth of A,bib and God raise him from the dead 72 hours later before sunset.
Sequence of Events
Scripture says that Jesus hung on the cross from the sixth to the ninth hour, Roman time, or from noon until 3 pm. Notice what happens next:
Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. (Matthew 27:57-61)
By the time Joseph lays Jesus' body in the tomb, it is very close to sunset. Luke writes, "That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near" (Luke 23:54). John 19:42 adds, "So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby."
On the next day, Abib 15, Thursday, the first day of Unleavened Bread, Pilate allows the Jews to secure the tomb and set a guard (Matthew 27:62-66).
On Friday, after the holy day is over, "the women who had come with Him from Galilee . . . returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath [Saturday] according to the commandment" (Luke 23:55-56). This proves that two preparation days occurred that week: one for the High Sabbath day and one for the weekly Sabbath!
"Now on the first day of the week [Sunday], very early in the morning, they and certain other women with them, came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb" (Luke 24:1-2; see Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1-2; John 20:1). "But the angel answered and said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He [has] risen, as He said'" (Matthew 28:5-6). What He had said was that He would arise after three days and three nights in the tomb!
Mary Magdalene arrives at the grave early on the first day of the week Sunday while it was still dark (John 20:1) Jesus has already been resurrected! So much for Easter sunrise services! Even if one thought Christ rose at dawn on Sunday, counting back 72 hours brings one to dawn on Thursday, and God's Word explicitly says Christ was buried before sunset!
Yes, Jesus rose from the grave, but not on Sunday, the day traditional Christians call "the Lord's day." If He did, He could not be our Savior because He would have failed to fulfill the one sign of His Messiahship: three days and three nights in the tomb. Jesus rose on the day He says He is Lord: the true Seventh-Day Sabbath (Mark 2:28).
