The Truth of Genesis: The Evil and Ignorance of Gentile Christianity - Part 4 of 7

Over the years, many gentile Christians have foolishly blamed the Jews for killing Jesus.   That is so stupid, and just an excuse to do evil against the Jews.  Jesus was born on this Earth to be the perfect Lamb sacrifice, and the Jewish High Priest had to be the principal party responsible for the Lamb’s death.  Without Yeshua’s death and the shedding of His blood, there could be no remission of sins (Matt 26:28, Heb. 9:22), and the covenant with Israel could not be renewed.

I feel that those that have made films about the life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua have either been willfully ignorant, or have purposely misled their viewers.  I have never seen a program or film that tells the whole truth.  However, the program that I’ve seen that comes closest to the truth was “A.D., The Bible Continues”, shown on NBC network.  It is best that we, as pagan gentiles, admit that we have inherited lies from our forefathers who did not appreciate the need of biblical and historical integrity.  We must realize that there are long standing beliefs, teachings, and traditions that are false.  Unless we examine, identify, and throw away the lies and inaccurate philosophies, we will find ourselves in torment. 

The oracles of Yehovah and salvation were given to the Jews, and not to gentiles.  To be saved, we must accept Hebrew Christianity, not the Christianity of gentiles, because gentile Christianity is compromised by Satan’s lies.  For example, how many of us were taught that the ministry of Jesus was three and a half years?  How about Jesus dying on the cross on Friday afternoon, and rising from the tomb on Sunday morning?  What about the Trinity?  By now you should know about December 25th.  All of these are long kept Catholic lies.  You should also see how ungodly Protestant denominations are as they allow gay ministers and same-sex marriages.  They have been compromised by Catholic Jesuits and Satan.   The “Coming (Journey) Home” ministry is filled with sinful Jesuit operatives, trying to persuade Protestants to “come back home” to (a more sinful) Catholicism.  

On Saturday, the 24th of April, 28 AD, in the mid-morning, Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a young donkey.  However, the temple priests and the people were lined up expecting to shout “Hosanna” for the High Priest returning from Bethlehem with the chosen lamb.  Jesus was “stealing the High Priest’s thunder”.  This ceremony was a yearly rehearsal for the coming of the Messiah, and Yeshua fulfilled it.  It was the 10th day of Aviv (Nisan).  The temple priests wanted Jesus to tell His disciples to “shut up” and wait for the High Priest to make his entry.  This is when Jesus replied “I tell you this, if these people should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out”!! 

On this day, and for the next three days, Jesus was examined (questioned) on the Temple Mount.  During this time, the “woman caught in adultery” was thrown before Jesus, to “test” His judgment.  Yeshua also “cleansed” the Temple a second time (as He did one year earlier), gave the parables of the two sons, the vineyard, and the marriage feast.  Other “inspections” were asked of Him.  The Pharisees asked about giving tribute to Caesar.  The Sadducees asked about a seven time widow.  The Scribes asked Him about the greatest commandment.  Then Yeshua asked them all “How is it that David called the Messiah ‘Yehovah’, when the Messiah was also David’s Son” (Psalms 110)?   Embarrassed by Yeshua, the religious leaders dared not ask Him any more questions.

On Tuesday evening, on April 27, 28 AD after sunset, making it the beginning of the 14th  day, Judas betrays Jesus, perhaps thinking that Jesus will use His powers to resist.  Take note that before sending Yeshua to the cross, Pilate proclaimed “I find no fault in Him”.   While Jesus is hanging on the cross, on the afternoon of April 28th, He fulfills scripture by quoting Psalms 22:1, and verbally forgives the sins of the repentant thief, who was the last person to obtain remission of sins without water baptism.  Being the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus is offered hyssop and declares “It is finished”!  Once Jesus died, only then was the sacrifice complete.

There was then an earthquake, and the hill of rock where the crucifixion took place was split, and twenty-four graves at the Mt. of Olives cemetery were disrupted and exposed (“marked”).  A Roman soldier pierced Yeshua’s side, up through His heart, to be certain that Yeshua was dead.  Yeshua’s blood (and some water) came gushing down His side and legs, down the cross, and poured into the crack of the rock.  It continued to stream down twenty-three more feet and dripped upon the West end of the Arc of the Covenant, which had been hidden in a chamber in Mt. Moriah by Jeremiah, about 614 years earlier when Jerusalem was under siege by Babylon.

Yeshua was dead, as the sunset was approaching, and He was taken down by a man named Joseph (of Aramathea), put in a new tomb, and he rolled a big stone to cover the entrance.  Then Joseph left the area.  This is all what “the women” saw before they also left the area, thinking that Yeshua had not yet received a proper burial with spices.  What they didn’t see was that Joseph later returned with Nicodemus, and properly prepared Yeshua’s body.  Since the women did not see this, they would come again early Sunday morning to try to complete the burial.

Nothing happened the next day, which was Thursday the 29th, a High Sabbath, which began the moadim of Unleavened Bread.  On Friday, the women spent their day gathering spices and oils to use on the following Sunday for Yeshua.  However, the Temple priests, remembering that Jesus said that He would rise in three days, asked Pilate to “seal” the tomb of Jesus, in order to prevent His disciples from stealing His body.  A Roman “seal” was not a stamp or just cementing the edges of the boulder.  It was drilling two or more holes thru the stone and into the sides of the tomb, and pouring hot lead into the holes, and inserting iron spikes.  Also, a rotating detachment of armed Roman guards were put on duty to watch the tomb until Sunday afternoon.

However, roughly 5:20 PM on Wednesday the 28th, Jesus was put in the tomb.  On Saturday the 1st of May, at about 5:21 PM, Jesus arose with His glorified body, and exited thru the walls of the tomb, unseen by the guards.  After sunset, which began the first day of the week, an angel came down, rolled away the stone, shearing the metal spikes, and sat upon the stone.  This about scared the Roman guards to death. It is estimated that it took ninety tons of force to remove the “sealed” stone, and the sheared metal spikes can yet be seen embedded into the garden tomb today.

After purchasing the spices and oils on Friday, April 30th, the women spent the remainder of the day preparing them, and rested on the Sabbath, May 1st.  Early Sunday morning, when Mary Magdalene saw and wanted to touch Jesus, He said “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father”.  On Saturday evening, after sunset, the twenty-four graves that were “marked” late in the afternoon on Wednesday, were exited by those who had been resurrected from the dead.  They walked into Jerusalem and were seen by many (Matt 27:51-53).  They were the First Fruits offering that Yeshua took to Heaven to present to Himself, later Sunday morning, after Yeshua had spoken to Mary Magdalene.  Jesus could not be touched until after He had fulfilled the First Fruits Offering.

In the next chapter, the connection of Mt. Sinai, Pentecost, and the Day of Trumpets.
