General ABSOLUTE FACTS 2

Absolute fact 1. The weekly Sabbath is always from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday

Absolute fact 2. Pentecost is always on a Sunday , it begins at sunset on Saturday the weekly Sabbath

Absolute fact 3. Passover is the 14th day of the first Hebrew month and begins after the sun sets on the 13th

Absolute fact 4. A biblical day begins and ends at sunset

Absolute fact 5. The day after the Passover, the 15th, is an annual Sabbath, a high day. This is the day John refers to in John 19:31 where the Jews did not want the bodies on the crosses, the 15th day was the first day of unleavened bread, a high Sabbath always occurring after sunset on Passover.

Absolute fact 6. From the weekly Sabbath after the Passover Israel was to number 7 weekly Sabbaths for a total of 49 days and the day after the 7th Sabbath, Sunday is the day of Pentecost

Absolute fact 7. Being that the weekly Sabbath and Pentecost are two fixed points and counting to 50 from the weekly Sabbath after Passover to Pentecost Sunday is 50 days, it follows that you can reverse this count. From Pentecost backwards 50 days would be the weekly Sabbath.

Absolute fact 8. After Jesus was raised rom the dead he spent 40 days with his disciples then ascended to his FATHER and 10 days later sent the Holy Spirit to the church.

Absolute fact 9. Jesus Christ gave a very precise time that he would be in the tomb, 3 days and 3 nights.

Absolute fact. 10. Jesus Christ was raised from the dead very late, very near sunset on the weekly Sabbath exactly 3 days and 3 nights from the Passover on which he died and was very late in the day near to sunset, placed in the tomb. This fulfilled exactly what Jesus predicted.

These 10 are absolute facts that can be very easily verified by scripture. Jesus Christ was murdered on Passover and died on the cross around 3 in the afternoon. Joseph of Arimathea places Jesus in a tomb very close to sunset on the Passover. Then the next day was the high day Sabbath and after that the preparation day, Friday, for the weekly Sabbath. Then before sunset on the Sabbath the women came to discover an empty tomb. Jesus was raised from the dead very late, near sunset, on the weekly Sabbath exactly 3 days and 3 nights after he was murdered on Passover. The most accurate account in modern bibles is Matthew 28:1 KJV . The word “dawn” cannot mean the rising of the sun because it plainly states the Sabbath was near to ending and it has already been shown that days begin and end at sunset. When the women arrived at the tomb it was still the weekly Sabbath. Mark and Luke’s account has been altered by the Catholic Church and Johns account plainly says, “it was still dark”.
Look at an Interlinear, look at Strongs concordance and you will find Strongs # 4521 “sabbaton” the Sabbath, the seventh day. There are over 40 translations that record the events of the resurrection of Christ far more accurately than the translations commonly used.

I think the faulty translations come from Strong's Greek 2020. In Luke 23:54, it was used to mean the Sabbath was just beginning (evening coming) but in Matthew 28:1 the translators simply say "being dawn." Perhaps it was a literary tool where someone was attempting to say that the "sabbath was dawning" which could still suggest "evening was approaching." The two verses, to my mind, contradict each other.

It was, “ as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week”. This word dawn should be like the dawn of a new age, the beginning of something. It is not meaning the rising of the sun. Remember days were from sunset to sunset .

Luke 23:54 Is referring to the annual high day Sabbath was near. The preparation day, the Passover, a Wednesday, the sun was close to setting in about 3 hours. Joseph of Arimathea had to hurry to put Christ in a nearby tomb. Matthew 28:1 is the weekly Sabbath that was not yet over because it was still dark just as Johns gospel confirms, John 20:1
There is no contradiction because it was different days and different times and different Sabbaths.

I must really learn to to rephrase what I write, because your responses are the same thing I was suggesting.
