    Amen on seven days. If we use Thursday we wind up with Monday.

    Wednesday is the only possible day. Preparation day is Passover day. As you say a High Holy Sabbath always follows it – not the day of rest weekly Sabbath. Thursday will bring you to a Sunday/Monday arising. </font>[/QUOTE]Yet consider that the day for Sunday begin on the Saturday Night in our Calendar. The usual Jewish Sabbath is Friday Night to Saturday Sunset, the following day begins at sunset. Hence Wednesday night as we know it is in fact the begining of Thursday. [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Then that logic should led to the understanding that Passover was on Wednesday which became Thursday, but the fact is it started as Wednesday. So that says the same thing as I that WED/THRU, THRU/FRI, FRI/SAT, with SAT becoming SUN

    Luke 23:50 Thru Luke 24 1-4

    Luke 23:55

    And the woman who had come with him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how his body was laid


    Luke 23: 56

    Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the sabbath day according to commandment.


    The sabbath day is Saturday by jewish tradition


    Luke 24:1

    Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certian other women with them came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

    This tells me that they were going to tend to the body, I could be wrong :?

    I used to wear baby shoes, but now I just wear a kicking shoe. I'm so thankful to be free from the things I once participated & believed in. I don't do "Christmass", either. It's just a season looking for a reason. God Bless.

    For the answer, let's look at the Passover as God ordained it.(BTW, passover is only for ISRAEL, as THEY,and the foreigners among them, were the people "passed over", and no one else.)

    Leviticus 23:5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the LORD's Passover. 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. 8But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it."'

    In Jesus' time, the Jews did all their mundane work the day before the holy convocation. Remember, Jesus observed the special paschal meal in the evening, was arrested, "tried" & sentenced that night, and was crucified that morning. This was the "preparation day" before the day of holy convocation which began at sundown, and the Jews washed their clothes, swept their homes, worked at their jobs, buried the dead, etc. all on this day, as the only work allowed for them on the holy convocation day was to serve their meals, the daily care of their animals, tending the sick, and other essential tasks.

    As Ittutut said, the next day, the day of holy convocation, was a Sabbath. We must remember that the Jews call EVERY day of special observance a Sabbath,(often a High Sabbath) regardless of what day of the week it falls. Thus, Wednesday was a "preparation day".

    What does Passover and the 14th of Nisan have to do with December and "just another day of Idol worship"?

    Are you referring to Christmas Day or what is the connection?

    the Question is not preperation day but when was he prepared. Why would the women come to the tomb with oils and things if they were NOT there to prepare the body?

    I am not defending any view here (yet), just posted the articles for info as they go into quite a bit of detail.

    It doesn't matter what day it was.

    In the early church, they followed a pattern of days marking events that led up to Jesus' Resurrection. The days were not necessarily chronological.

    Thursday was the day that commemorated the Last Supper.

    Friday was the commemoration of the Crucifixion and Death of Christ.

    Saturday was the day to commemorate the time He was in the tomb.

    All leading up to Sunday, the Day of Resurrection.

    No! You are not wrong at all. They did not have time for a proper burial as Jesus had to placed into the Tomb and the stone rolled into place by the end of Passover, Wednesday at 6PM. They could not do this type of work on Thursday, the High Sabbath that must follow preparation day. Friday they could not enter as the Tomb was sealed and guarded. The regular Saturday Sabbath was just as the High Sabbath, and they could not do it then.

    I'm not sure the women could prepare the necessary ingredients for burial on either the High Sabbath, or the Saturday Sabbath as it seems this type of work would be forbidden. God plans for everything, so the two Sabbath’s and the “free” Friday was the only way for God to fulfill the prophecy of three full 24-hour days. God knew in the beginning that He would sandwich Friday between the two Sabbaths's.

    Your verse says they came very early in the morning. So this was around 6AM our time as the Sun was coming up on Sunday. But their day began at 6PM in the evening on Sunday. Jesus arose earlier at the stroke of 6PM Sat/Sun. He was gone when they arrived. He had to have time to

    Are you referring to Christmas Day or what is the connection?

    HankD
    </font>[/QUOTE]You had to ask. Nisan 14 is not involved. We don’t, and shouldn’t observe Passover. That is not for the Christian, anymore than is the “great commission”. These things are only for His own people that made a blood covenant with Him. There is neither Jew nor Gentile today in God’s sight, so there is no Covenant of the Jew in force today.

    It is the pagan holiday Easter I indicate, and that along with Christ’s Mass (masses are for the dead), but Christ is alive. The main line religions (denominations) think they separated from the Catholic church, but they brought a lot of their baggage with them, and not just these two unholy days. The Catholic church invented Easter and Christmas. You’ll not find these anywhere in scripture. Jesus while on earth, after His resurrection, and after being glorified in heaven, never sanctioned any Holy Days for the Christian church – ”Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain” Galatians 4:10-11.

    This is Paul speaking to Christians, but the Judaizers (from the Pentecostal church) did not accept Paul’s gospel of salvation by the Grace of Jesus Christ. Paul can’t believe some of the people, and doesn’t want to associate with them, as they want to try and get back under the law. This is what so very many what to do today. They want to do something, even if they have to make it up, and join in with those outside of Christ. They want to observe religious rites, and believe they MUST do something to help God keep them saved (or keep getting them saved). They want to be under a schoolmaster. We are born to good works, and that is it. God doesn’t need out help. Jesus Christ did all of the work. We accept the gift. This gift is separate and apart from Israel, His people, and today it is the The Body of Christ Church for all sinners. All that Jesus requested us to do is to “do this in remembrance of me”. We can have communion with Him anywhere and at anytime, but He doesn’t tell us when, where, or how many times we are to eat the bread, and drink the wine. But please notice that we are not to do this because He told His Apostles to do this, but because He revealed to Paul the heavenly Apostle that we, i.e. Christians are also to do this. We are to believe the last words on salvation from Christ Jesus, and the Word that we are to believe funneled to us through Christ’s one heavenly Apostle, Paul. Paul said it is his Gospel, but Jesus Christ gave it to him. Just as God gave Moses the Law, according to scripture it became Moses’ law. Today, we are or of Grace, and not Law. This is what God has decreed in the dispensation.

    Sorry (I do this on occasion) I’m off the subject, but I don’t believe God appreciates us joining in on pagan holidays, and calling them Our Own Holy Holidays. I try to remember I’ll have to stand before him, in front of everyone, when rewards are handed out. I’m trying my best not to have the few rewards I may be entitled to burned because I wanted to be associated with the masses in Idol worship.

    Christian faith,

    I don't remember addressing this point of the purpose of the women in my original. They did go back to the tomb to prepare His body. Jesus' body was not prepared in the manner of the Jew, as there was no time, except for the wrapping.

    Perhaps I'm missing your point. If so, please endeavor to clarify. I have been known to be dense at times.
