The Jewish Calendar does not name the days of the week, they are numbered. Just like the Days of Creation. No. 1 - 6 The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover. On the fifteenth day of this month, there shall be a feast; for seven days unleavened bread is to be eaten. Numbers 28:16,17 In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. When Jesus had His Last Supper, it was The Passover Meal. ...on the "First Day" of Unleavened Bread, when they "sacrificed" the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to "eat" the Passover? Mark 14:12 In Mark 14:12 (above) the lamb was sacrificed on the First Day of Unleavened Bread and that started Passover instead of having Passover and then Seven Days of Unleavened Bread. So, already we can see that the Pharisees (Jewish Leaders) were not following the Law from God. They changed God's statute. This might be where they started the Saturday Sabbath. The 14th of the Month must have been Sunday and Saturday would be the Sabbath. Jesus was crucified on the Sixth Day of Unleavened Bread. It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed. John 19:31 Why a High Sabbath? Because the Preparation Day was on the week of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This is a Double Sabbath. Jesus became The New Passover Lamb for The New Covenant. The Feast must have started on Sunday in order for the Seventh Day to end on the Sabbath. Sunset is the Beginning of the Day until the next Sunset. Sunset Friday to Sunset Saturday is the First Day. Sunset Saturday to Sunset Sunday is the Second Day. Sunset Sunday to Sunset Monday is the Third Day. Early on the first day of the week, (They are not named, they are numbered) while it was "still dark", Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. John 20:1 "Still Dark" After the Sunset. Three Days and three nights or three nights and three days, Jesus rose on what we would call Monday. Monday is the First Day of the Week, but this does "Not" mean that we obey a Sabbath Sunday as the Seventh Day of Rest. Jesus is our Rest. If your life is set up to worship on Saturday then great, just don't condemn those who worship on a different day. Judge them according to Love, not the Law. What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1st Corinthians 5:12, 13 God's plan: They killed a lamb and ate it with haste and painted the doorway with it's blood. The LORD came to the homes and if He saw the blood, He would Passover thatt home and send the destroyer angel to the homes that did not know of God's plan because they rejected The God of Israel. Exodus 12:23 (embellished) For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the "seventh" day there shall be a "feast" (a Celebration) to the LORD. "Unleavened" bread shall be eaten "during" those (7) "Seven" (7) days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall yeast be found anywhere within your borders. And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ Exodus 13:6-8
The Seventh Day was a Feast, a Celebration? It was a set up. This custom was started before God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. The Israelite's were still in Egypt. They did not leave Egypt until the Seventh Day, after the First Born were sacrificed. Jesus became our sacrificial Lamb and they crucified Him "during" the Feast of Unleavened Bread! They were not supposed to have any leaven that represented sin and Jesus took upon Himself All of our Sin and became a Curse by dying on a tree during the seven days of "unleavened" bread. Did God care about their High Sabbath Celebration After That!?! And the Jews broke the Law again. Acts 12:1-3 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church. He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. Seeing that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days to kill and arrest Peter, and it pleased the Jews. The First Sabbath God made the heavens and the earth in six days and then He rested. He probably cried/wept/wailed, because He knew what would happen on that 7th day (A New Passover). He did "not stop" on the 7th day, He rested. Then, He made a Garden (A burial ground, a tomb that would be sealed) in the "East?" of Eden on the First Day of the Week. Adam and Eve sinned in the perfect Garden and God sacrificed an animal to cover their nakedness with it's skin. A sacrifice on the day of completion. The eighth day/era. Monday. One day is a thousand years... Were the Pharisee's observing the Days of Unleavened Bread? No, they were too busy trying to arrest Jesus. They had Jesus crucified on the "sixth" day of their work week, the same day God made man. Jesus was the Son of Man. "Adam" is the Hebrew word for "man". But, when we look to the Hebrew for the "name" Adam, it says that "Adam" is the "First" Man. One word: Adam, that means man and/or First man? Therefore, God "spoke" into existence a man and woman and then He rested. Then He made a garden and "formed" a man and put him in the Garden that He planted. A woman came from the man's rib and they would usher in the "Body" of Christ because only the man Adam and His help-mate had access to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in this Garden in the East of Eden, near the Land of Nod. The Sabbath was fulfilled when they killed Jesus during the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the week of Passover and then they celebrated on their High Sabbath. But I tell you that something Greater Than The Temple Is Here. If only you had known the meaning of "I desire mercy, not sacrifice," you would not have condemned the innocent. For the 'Son of Man' is Lord of the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:6-8 If the Lord of the Sabbath is in your heart, Everyday is a Sabbath Rest. Receive Jesus as the Final Sacrifice and concentrate on compassion/Love. More about Adam and Eve in "Before the Garden" on my Home Page.
