Good Wednesday or Good Friday?

[Sarah]

Some contend that the "preparation" could also mean the day before an annual Feast Day Sabbath, which was to be treated like a normal Sabbath...which could fall on a day other than the weekly Sabbath.

It may be true, I'm not certain. I have heard some say that it always meant a Friday, or the day before the weekly Sabbath (Thursday sundown to Friday sundown)

What Knoway is trying to say is that there was a day in between the Annual Feast Day Sabbath (1st Day of the Passover Feast)...and the weekly regular 7th Day Sabbath....but if so, what he maintains took place makes the Resurection take place before the Sabbath is concluded...and thus Messiah would not have risen upon the Feast of First-Fruits...which the Sciptures indicate...and because He did, a Wednesday Crucifixtion makes His Ressurection be on the 4th Day...which goes against the Scripture. . . .

hello brother,
When I your post and go to thinking: I wonder if Scripture actually says anywhere that Yeshua had to rise on the day of the wave offering/firstfruits or if it just says that he presented Himself to the Father that day?

You don't, by chance know when this wave offering harvested in Israel? I heard it is harvested just at the close of the Sabbath but part of the cerimony the priest goes through involves inquiring if it is still the Sabbath? I'd love to know if anyone can attest to that?

I know that according to Lev and Deut that this wave offering was to occur the day after the Sabbath, when the sickle is put to the grain.

I love to explore the possiblilities. And while I have definite inclinations, I tend not to be dogmatic with others about such since we are all just putting the pieces together as best we can. This theory satisfies questions that no other theory is able to answer in that it is the only theory that puts him in the grave three full days and three full nights, and shows him rising ON/IN the third day from when he was buried, but AFTER the third day from when he was killed. Appologetically, I find it valuable to have at hand logical answers that are able to dispell doubts for those who wonder how it COULD HAVE been that Yeshua fulfilled this prophecy and all he spoke of concening his death and ressurection.

At one point, I drew up charts that map out this theory and a couple others. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to e-mail them.
