Shalom y'all, and the blessings of Y'shua HaMashiach to you,
I am just now jumping into the Aramaic translations of things, which has brought me to your board. I noticed the discussion here concerning the 'tombs being opened', and that even the Aramaic does not bring out meaning to this. If I may offer the following...
As you know, the testimony says that Y'shua FULFILLS the Law. In that, there are commands given in Torah that must be or have been fulfilled, for the completion of all things. Y'shua fulfilled, in His death and resurrection, the offerings of the Spring feasts. He was the unleavened bread, He was the sacrificial lamb of passover, AND(this is what many people miss), He was a part of the FIRSTFRUITS OFFERING. It is the Firstfruits offering in the spring that people forget about. The tombs that were opened were indeed resurrected FIRSTFRUITS, those who believed in the coming Messiah, and they were seen by many, because part of the rule of firstfruits is to wave the offering before the people.
Now, how and WHEN did this occur? This is where you have to look at the timeline BACKWARDS, with the truth that He would be 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS in the tomb.....literally! We know the women came to the tomb early(dawn)Sunday morning, and the tomb had ALREADY BEEN OPENED. The first day would have started(in our Roman calendar thinking)on Saturday NIGHT. SO, the earthquake had to occur sometime immediately following the sabbath, and at that time, Y'shua along with the firstfruit saints were resurrected.
Continuing the timeline backwards, then, means He was crucified on a Wednesday, and placed in the tomb by Wednesday night. The particular year that He was crucified, both the lunar and solar(roman)calendar worked IN UNISON to complete this fulfillment.
I would also note that, in John 20:17, when Mary recognizes the Master that Sunday morning, He says 'Do not touch me for I have not yet ASCENDED.' The firstfruits offering is always given sometime after dawn. This also means that Y'shua ascended to heaven MORE THAN JUST ONE TIME. Eight days later, He is touched by Thomas.
When you start looking at how Torah is fulfilled, you can see amazing things. And there are amazing things coming up too.
