Messianic Views

Yeshua didn’t leave the timing of His death unclear. He gave one sign: “Three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Mat 12:40).

So the question is simple: Does the traditional timeline actually match that?
When you go back to the text, a clearer picture emerges.

Here’s a simple breakdown of that week (Biblical days begin at sunset.)

𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟰) – 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁
• Yeshua celebrated the Passover meal with His disciples (Luke 22:13-15).
• Yeshua prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:26, 39-41).
• Yeshua was betrayed by Judas and arrested (Mark 14:53).

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 (𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟰) – 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 (𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵)
• Yeshua was bound and delivered to Pilate early in the morning (Mark 15:1).
• 9:00 AM - Crucifixion began (Mark 15:25).
• 12:00-3:00 PM - Darkness covered the land (Mark 15:33).
• 3:00 PM - Yeshua died (Mark 15:34, 37).
• Soldiers confirmed Yeshua was dead (John 19:31-34).
• Before sunset, Yeshua was taken down and placed in the tomb (Mark 15:42-47).

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 – 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵
• First day of Unleavened Bread is a high Sabbath (John 19:31).
• Yeshua’s first night in the tomb.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 & 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
• Nights: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• Days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 (𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟲) – 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵)
• After the High Sabbath, the women bought and prepared burial spices (Mark 16:1, Luke 23:56).

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 (𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟳) – 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵
• The women rested on the Sabbath (Luke 23:56).
• Around sunset, Yeshua rose, fulfilling the sign of three days and three nights (Mat 12:40, 28:1).

𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟴) – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗯 𝗜𝘀 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆 (𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀)
• The women came to the tomb (Luke 24:1).
• Yeshua was already risen (Luke 24:2-3).
• This aligns with First Fruits (1 Cor 15:20).

If this doesn’t resonate because you’ve been taught differently, take it to prayer. Ask Him to open your eyes and guide you through His Word.
But don’t comment if you haven’t actually worked through what’s been laid out. This is not complicated. The timeline either fits or it doesn’t.
I won’t be engaging with comments that clearly ignore the details.

PS: Also, many point to verses like “on the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:4) as if that contradicts this.
It doesn’t. Scripture uses both phrases: “on the third day” and “three days and three nights” (Matthew 12:40). They are not in conflict. They describe the same event from different angles.
So the question isn’t which one we choose.
It’s whether our timeline can account for both.

We are not saved by good works, for good works are the result of salvation.

Did Jesus/Yeshua teach the Torah?

Jesus/Yeshua instructs his disciples not only to obey the commandments of the Torah. He also instructs them to teach the commandments to others.

Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. -Matthew 5:19 NKJV

We live in a world where people take pride in things they should be ashamed of. But as followers of Yeshua, we are called to stand firm in truth and righteousness. Let's not be swayed by the world's values but instead hold fast to what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." – Isaiah 5:20

In these times, let us remember to be the light that shines in the darkness, standing firm in the truth and living according to God's word.

Just amazing!

Apparently, the 12 stones mentioned in Exodus 28 and Revelation 21 are all anisotropic. This means when you view them through pure light, they display brilliant and beautiful colors. God is the source of light.

"...and there was a rainbow round about the throne..." -Revelation 4:3

No one knew about this until our generation today that such jewels possessed anisotropic properties, the same qualities that God includes in The New Yerushalayim. These stones are also on the breastplate that the High Priest wore. These 12 precious stones are representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Yes, The Bible describes Israel as God's chosen people to be a light to the nations:

God called Israel to be a light to the nations, a covenant for the people, and to show the one true God to those in darkness. -Isaiah 42:6-7

God chose these stones. Not even John knew when he penned the book of Revelation, and Moses had no idea when he authored the book of Exodus that these stones are anisotropic gems. But obviously God knew! It is proof that the Bible is God's Word!

Ephesians 5:11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

G'mar (or Gmar, Gemar) Hatima (or Hatimah, Chatima, Chatimah) Tova (or Tovah)

G'mar Hatima Tova literally means "A good final sealing" and idiomatically means "May you be inscribed (in the Book of Life) for Good."

Eze 33:4-5 then whoever hears the sound of the shofar and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. He heard the sound of the shofar and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.

While it is true that in pursuit of our dreams, we find motivation and inspiration from this event. Let us not forget what our true goal is.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Yeshua (Jesus), the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)

We are not saved by doing good works, yet we are saved to do good works (Titus 2:14). We don’t do good works to be saved. We carry out good works because we are saved.
