I WENT BACK TO EXODUS AND OTHER OLDER TEXTS. I SEE THAT PASSOVER IS ALWAYS ON THE EVENING OF THE 14TH ABIB/NISSAN. NUMBERS 9:1-5 SAYS THAT PASSOVER IS TO BE KEPT ON THE 14TH WITH ALL RITES AND CEREMONIES THEREOF.

THIS SAYS THAT NO PART OF IT CAN BE ON ANY DAY OTHER THAT THE 14TH.

I AM AWARE THAT THE GOSPELS SAY THAT THE LEADERS COULD NOT GO TO SEE PILATE BECAUSE IT WAS THE PREPARATION DAY FOR THE PASSOVER. BUT WE MUST REALIZE THAT THERE ARE THREE PASSOVER NAMED IN SCRIPTURE.

THE FIRST IS THE LORD’S PASSOVER. IT WAS INITIATED IN EGYPT AND CELEBRATED LEGALLY UNTIL THE LAST TIME MESSIAH ATE IT AND CHANGED THE RITUALS.

THE SECOND IS “OUR PASSOVER”, MESSIAH.

THE THIRD IS “THE PASSOVER OF THE JEWS”. THIS REFERS TO THOSE JEWS WHO WERE INSISTING THAT PILATE MURDER MESSIAH, THE SAME ONES MESSIAH TOLD “YOU DO ERR NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES OR THE POWER OF GOD”.

THESE INSTIGATORS OF FOUL MURDER WERE ATTEMPTING TO CELEBRATE PASSOVER ON ABIB 15, ONE DAY LATE.

MESSIAH KEPT IT PROPERLY AND AT THE CORRECT TIME OR WE HAVE NO MESSIAH.

IF HE HAD THAT CELEBRATION EARLY HE WOULD HAVE SINNED SINCE HE MADE NO CHANGE AS TO TIME OR EVENTS UNTIL AFTER HE HAD FINISHED SUPPER.

I DO THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE.
