'Lord of the Sabbath'
The "Seventy Weeks" prophecy found at Daniel 9:24-27
is proven historically accurate-to-the-day 483 years
after the date that the priestly scribe Ezra had gone
forth with Artaxerxes' imperial edict to restore and
build, which proves Gabriel's prophecy--and therefore
the Book of Daniel--is irrefutably genuine, and which
also proves that *Jesus the Nazarene* is the One and
Only Messiah of the Old Covenant Scriptures(TaNaKh).
All detractors and proponents alike may now consider
themselves hereby properly edified, knowing now with
certainty that Jesus the Christ is your Lord and King.
Readers are advised to stop right here, dust off your
Bible and read every "red letter" command of our King.
The FACT that The King of kings Jesus Christ did quote
Daniel as "the prophet"[ref. Mat 24:15; Mark 13:14] is
the Supreme Authority endorsing Daniel's autograph as
genuine, thus the balance of this article is provided
merely as a FREE public service, as a matter of record.
Please copy, quote and distribute this article freely.
Also, enjoy edifying those secular "skeptic" types who
casually laud their science as "debunking" historicity
of the Hebrew Canon's Old and New Covenant Scriptures,
when in fact all extant evidence always favors and oft
proves the Scriptures historical, since they are true.
Such views may seem "extreme" to the uninitiated, i.e.,
to those not yet (re)born in the Holy Spirit, but the
evidence of Scriptural historicity is incontrovertible:
EVERY golden word of Lord King Jesus Christ is THE LAW.
And while the secular crowd will engage in trite cavil
(like they always do)in vain attempts to discredit the
Bible and its message, the gospel of Christ crucified,
such inevitably has the very reverse effect of drawing
much-appreciated scrutiny to these ancient Scriptures,
since in every single case the evidence weighs heavily
in the gravity of its merit, with the Scriptures fully
intact, and humiliated skeptics running home to mamma!
Stay tuned for accompanying attachments and the latest
updates which I'll post periodically to the newsgroups
for each reader's convenience and continued edification.
Oh yes, and if you'd like a name for future reference,
do feel free to quote me as "Ma'aminei YHSH ha-Notsri",
meaning I AM among those who confess Jesus the Nazarene
is the Christ: Son of the Living God. Or just quote me
as "anonymous author" if you prefer. God is my Judge.

Be certain to remember that each day in the Hebrew/Jewish
calendar begins at sundown the day *before*, and ends at
sundown that same day; e.g., the Julian calendar date of
Thursday, September 19, 457 BC is counted as the Hebrew
calendar date of 1 Tishri 3305, but the Hebrew calendar
reckons the Julian Thursday as beginning at sundown the
previous day, or Wednesday evening of the Julian calendar.
This Old Covenant "sundown-to-sundown" application of the
Scriptures is found starting in the Torah[Law of Moses],
at the Book of Genesis ch 1 vs 5: "And God called the
light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day." With the
evening counted from sundown to sunrise, and the morning
counted from sunrise to sunset, the Hebrew calendar is
always (-/+) six hours *ahead* of the Julian calendar in
terms of what day of the week it is, a fact which proves
helpful in identifying ancient lunisolar calendar dates,
which lunisolar calendar dates were established based on
*strictly-observed* ancient sacred Torah calendar rules.
By contrast with the ancient Mayan calendar, which dates
to at least 355 BC and is the most accurate calendar in
existence---predicting a near-perfect conjunction of our
winter solstice Sun with the galactic & ecliptic plane's
intercept point[Mayan Sacred Tree]at the end of the Mayan
Long Count, which is the Mayan calendar date 13.0.0.0.0 or
December 21, 2012, which cycle started with the "birth of
Venus" August 13, 3114 BC, likewise counted as 13.0.0.0.0
over FIVE THOUSAND years earlier!---the lunisolar calendar
of Moses was rather crude, but was effective for counting
the days, months and years of the lunisolar cycle, and for
observing Old Covenant Holy Days so utterly crucial to the
ancient Hebrew existence prior to our Lord's crucifixion:
"And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years."
--Gen 1:14 KJV
And, while it isn't likely that Moses actually invented the
Hebrew lunisolar calendar--as surely it is far older than
merely 3400 years,--we do know from reading the Scriptures
that Moses had introduced it and used it in his lifetime,
and it has been in use continually by the Jewish people,
and probably dates to long-forgotten antediluvian times.

� The "going forth of the commandment[Artaxerxes I/Longimanus]
to restore and to build Jerusalem..."[ref. Dan 9:25]:
Julian Day: 1554766
Julian calendar: Thursday, September 19, 457 BC
Jewish calendar: 1 Tishri 3305
New Moon: Sep 19, 457 BC @ 12:29:51 AM JST
Julian date: 1554765.43740; Lunation: -29415
Moon's distance: 382409k(60.0 ER); Subtends: 0.5208�

Rising: 5:33:02 AM JST; JD 1554765.64794
Setting: 6:24:44 PM JST; JD 1554766.18384
Notes: ref. Ezra 7:9 "...1st day of the 1st month"
7:6-26; ibid, levitical rule restored. This
was the decree which established the people,
government, laws(including taxation), and:
"...set up the walls thereof, and joined
the foundations"[ref. Ezra 4:12], and Ezra
had restored temple service in Jerusalem.
The Jubilee Year[ref. 'eleutherian liberty']
was observed every 50th year following the
7th Sabbatic Year[Lev 25:11], making two
Sabbatic Years consecutive, hence Gabriel's
distinction of "seven sevens" and "sixty-
two sevens" is readily understood, joined
seamlessly together at the *next* Jubilee
Year! Jubilee was a VERY special time, a
time for rest *from* selfish pursuits, but
instead, for forgiveness and emancipation,
for sharing and reconciliation, and above
all, a time for ATONEMENT OF SIN[ref. Lev
16:29-34;23:27-32;25:8-9;ibid]!!! Gabriel
was reminding each one of us of *what* is
acceptable to God, with atonement of sin
exemplifying YHWH's New Covenant[ref. Jer
31:31-34] preaching "the Acceptable Year
of the LORD"[ref. Luke 4:14-22;Isa 61:1-2],
for there is none other scripturally-valid
explanation for how and why Gabriel's first
"seven weeks" were joined contiguously(no
interruption) to the next sixty-two weeks.
Also, 1 Tishri could not fall on Sun, Wed
or Fri, thus was occasionally delayed for
one day, or at most, delayed for two days,
but was not delayed in 3305/457 BC, also a
*Jubilee Year* by Josephus' chronology. The
Achaemenid king Artaxerxes[Artakhshathra]
began his first civil year 1 Tishri 3298 by
the *Hebrew* calendar, which was Thu Sept 7,
464 BC, since his first year of reign didn't
start until 1 Tishri(civil new year) by the
Hebrew calendar reckoning, since Artaxerxes
was "king" from mid-August of 465 BC, but his
observed ascension lasted about eight months,
until 1 Nisanu, near the vernal equinox of the
"new year" by the *Babylonian* civil calendar.
It is revealing in Ezra 7:8 where he states:
"And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month,
which was in the seventh year of the king",
not the fifth month *of* the king's seventh
year, but was the eleventh month from Nisanu.
It is clear that the king's first year of
reign didn't begin until 1 Nisan(u) 3297 in
Ezra's consideration, since those previous
8 months of the king's "ascension" failed to
fulfil one Hebrew calendar year, being only
half the calendar year, thus was not included
in Ezra's estimation for the king's *seventh*
[Hebrew]year. In other words, only the second-
half of Artaxerxes' seventh year fell in the
Hebrew civil year 3305, beginning in the fall
of 457 BC on 1 Tishri, or Thu, Sep 19, 457 BC.
Not to belabor this point ad nauseum, but it
is important that the reader should understand
how Artaxerxes' seventh year was determined
with certainty by Ezra, and according to the
*Hebrew Calendar*, leaving Assyriologists et
al to debate "finer points" of such matters.
But, had Ezra counted the king's "seventh year"
as 1 Tishri 3304, then that day was Saturday,
September 2, 458 BC, Julian Day 1554383(molad
was Sep 1 @ 2:16:55 AM JST[JD 1554381.51175]).
I'll refer back to these dates later in this
article confirming 1 Tishri 3305[457 BC] as
Ezra's assessment for Artaxerxes' 7th year.

Notes: This Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Leo was
4.2 arcminutes in separation. The wise men
(Magi) saw *his* star [at its]rising, thus
their own witness to this conjunction was
judicially construed as Messiah's actual
date and approximate time of birth. See

dating for Jesus' date of birth, including
all planetary positions for 4 AM JST.

Notes: Near-perfect Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Leo,
a mere 6 arcseconds from concentricity. When
Venus is sufficiently elongated from the Sun,
and the sky is crystal-clear, Venus can barely
be seen with the naked eye in broad daylight.
This *brilliant* conjunction was significantly
brighter than Venus alone, thus was certainly
visible in broad daylight in a clear sky, and
we know that the sky was clear by the Magi's
own testimony. Also, Herod "the Great" died
after the "blood red" full lunar eclipse of
Sat, January 10, 1 BC, not 4 BC, which was
the commonly supposed year for Herod's death
based on the historian Josephus' writings.
However, scientific and historical evidences
have refuted this inaccurate reckoning. See
attachment for detailed analysis of Herod's
"blood red" eclipse and related historical
evidences proving 1 BC to be the actual year
of Herod's death and burial before Passover.
� Caesar Augustus died:
Julian Day: 1726402
Julian calendar: Sunday, August 19, 14 AD
Jewish calendar: 5 Elul 3774
Notes: Tiberius was already supreme military governor
of the Roman Empire proper and its provinces
since 12 AD, and was co-princeps(effectively,
co-Caesar) with Caesar Augustus by 13 AD, but
Sept 17, 14 AD is the commonly referenced date
of profane history, since this was Tiberius'
ceremonial inaugural after Augustus' death,
bestowing on him the sole title of Imperator.
See Jesus' baptism notes below for a concise
commentary on Tiberius Caesar's "15th" year.

Setting: 6:13:48 PM JST; JD 1729173.17625
Notes: The present-day 19-year lunisolar cycle of the
Jewish calendar adds the thirteenth intercalary,
or leap month, V'Adar(AdarII) in the years 3, 6,
8, 11, 14, 17 and 19, making those 13-month years
into "leap years" to maintain very close--but not
perfect--synchronicity with the lunisolar cycle.
Twelve lunar[synodic] months is about eleven days
shorter than a solar year, hence the "luni-solar"
calendar requires a leap year added every two to
three years to make up for this annual eleven-day
deficit. But these systematically inserted leap
years end up with an extra two hours[2:06:28.022]
left over every 19 solar years, not a significant
error, but by the mid-second century AD this had
accumulated for more than fifteen hundred years
since the days of Moses, thus presented a serious
dilemma for the lunisolar calendar. In 161 AD the
Jewish Patriarch Simon III imposed a postponement
of the intercalated year from the seventh to the
eighth year, to prevent Pentecost from falling on
Monday, June 23, 161 AD-into the summer solstice!
This was accomplished using an interim transition
cycle of leap years 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 and 19.
As a result, all leap years AFTER this adjustment
were counted in the years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17 and
19, but all leap years PRIOR to Simon's calendar
adjustment of 161 AD were counted in the years 2,
5, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 18, thusly these leap-months
were inserted in those designated years after the
twelfth month of Adar, according to the lunisolar
Torah calendar. And while the religious months of
the calendar were counted as in Torah, beginning
in the spring on 1 Nisan, civil calendar months
of the very same calendar were counted "fall-to-
fall", so the first month in the civil year was
the seventh month of the religious calendar! The
rules for observing Holy Days enjoyed priority
over most other decisions of the elders as to
which days would begin any lunisolar calendar's
months, which calendars were calculated thusly:
Based on the repeating 19-year lunisolar cycle,
in near-synchronicity with each month's molad
the months were numbered 1-12, or 1-13 in leap
years. The first month Abib / 'hodesh ha-aviv'
only roughly coincided(i.e. +/- 50 days) with
the barley being "in the ear" of old tradition,
but the first month of the year according to the
agricultural/liturgical 'shana' observance was
1 Ethanim(Tishri), Ezra's "1st day...1st month."
The Babylonian Kraeling 6 and Elephantine papyri
proved that the spring-to-spring Sumero-Babylonian
civil calendar was *NOT* the same lunisolar civil
calendar observed by captive Jews during the 70-
years exile in Babylon(contrary to popular myth).
The Jewish civil calendar was explicitly based on
the fall-to-fall 'shana' reckoning, only names of
selected Hebrew calendar months were adapted to
their Babylonian captors' linguistic conventions.
Not that this mattered much, since both versions
were lunisolar, thus both were dependent on the
same molads and equinoxes for functionality, but
Jewish regnal/civil years always began 1 Tishri,
which is near the FALL equinox, not the spring,
and to this day, 1 Tishri remains the first day
of the first month of the Jewish civil calendar,
and Nisan is still the first month of the Jewish
religious calendar. The main thing to understand
is that Ezra's "first day of the first month" was
Thursday, September 19, 457 BC, and the Jewish
civil calendar always started on 1 Tishri, not
1 Nisan. Also, the molad was--albeit only rarely
--allowed to occur very late in the day for that
month's beginning date, but only in anticipation
of Holy Days which were not conveniently delayed
for whatever mitigating circumstances might have
demanded. These ancient Hebrew lunisolar calendar

Notes: Jewish calendar birthday; at age 30, Jesus
eligible for priesthood and temple service.
This is why John the Baptist asked of Jesus:
"...I have need to be baptized of thee, and
comest thou to me?"[Mat 3:14]. John did not
yet recognize Jesus as Messiah, but he knew
that his cousin, the astonishing carpenter's
son Jesus, that He was thirty years old, and
John knew this since he himself was thirty.
That John didn't recognize Jesus as Messiah
means that John didn't know about Jesus being
conceived of God's Spirit in Mary, since had
John actually known about this, then surely
he would've known that Jesus was the promised
Messiah of the Scriptures, with His virgin
birth being scripturally *prerequisite* to
His Messiahship, even though "virgin birth"
mythologies had flourished in every culture
throughout the world, every Jew *knew* that
"salvation out of the Jews is"! Thereby we
know that John, understandably, had supposed
Jesus' father was Joseph, as did practically
everyone else. Only a few knew at the time
that Joseph was only lawfully Jesus' father
according to the custom, since Joseph was
the son-in-law of Mary's father, Heli, who
had daughters of his own, but bore no sons
of his own, thus Joseph was fully within his
own legal rights to raise his "son" Jesus as
his own son, since lawfully, Jesus *was* his
own son, just as everyone had supposed. And
under the law, Jesus was heir to the throne
by His legal father and also by His mother,
since under Jewish law, right to kingship
could also pass to Mary's descendants.

Notes: Daniel's 7+62 sabbatic years fulfilled[Dan 9:25].
The Hebrew Calendar year exceeds a tropical year
by 6 minutes, 39.370 seconds; this amounts to one
extra day per 216.34 tropical years, or 2.23 days
over 483 tropical years. A tropical year is equal
to 365.242199 days, so this baptism date of Jesus
is precisely 483 tropical years + 2.02 days from
Ezra's going forward with Artaxerxes' decree, a
difference of only 2.23 from 2.02 = {-0.21} days,
or just 5 hours shy of 483 Hebrew Calendar years!
Who could ask for more? And who's to say these 5
hours weren't accounted for by differences in the
time of day Ezra left Babylon, and the time that
Jesus entered the Jordan's waters to be baptised?
But if we'd adopted Sept 2, 458 BC as Artaxerxes'
seventh year as referenced before, then that date
was exactly 483 tropical years + 4 hours to what
is a popular but non-historical "alternate" for
Jesus' Baptism date of 1 Tishri 3787, or Monday,
Sep 2, 26 AD; Julian Day 1730799, with its molad
occurring Sat, Aug 31, 26 AD @1:27:11 AM JST; JD
1730796.47721, but which is entirely one civil
calendar year *prior* to the very earliest date
historically-reconcilable with Tiberius' 15th
year, thus is logically eliminated from further
discussion, and 1 Tishri 3788 becomes the ONLY
historical date reconcilable with both Ezra's
account AND that related by Luke, to wit, Luke
3:1 reads "...in year but five and tenth of the
*governorship* of Tiberius Caesar" [*emphasis
added]. In the year 12 AD, Tiberius was made
military governor(commander) over Caesar's vast
armies and provinces by the ailing Augustus, at
which time Augustus had compelled his estranged-
widow Julia to marry Tiberius, thus historically
qualifies as his 1st year of *governorship*, and
by the year 13 AD, Tiberius Claudius Nero was
known to the whole of the Roman empire and its
provinces as supreme governor and co-regent with
Augustus Caesar, since Tiberius was by that time
Proconsular Imperium, wielding full tribunician
power wholly co-extensive with that of Augustus,
making Tiberius co-princeps with Caesar Augustus
by 13 AD. When Augustus died that following year,
Tiberius' sole Consulship was already intact and
was wholly unassailable, with his continuation
as Principate a foregone conclusion, thus his
inauguration as Imperator was but an accolade.
Luke's reckoning for his 15th year is confirmed
in the fact that by 27 AD the weary Tiberius had
retired permanently to seclusion on the island of
Capri, leaving his notorious(traitorous) captain
of the Praetorian Guard, the prefect Sejanus, to
RULE in his place. So, with 27 AD established as
Tiberius' "five and tenth year of governorship",
then the year 12 AD must logically be construed
as commencing Tiberius' first year by the Jewish
civil calendar new year 1 Tishri 3773, which
Julian calendar date was Monday, September 5,
12 AD, or Julian Day 1725689. Thusly, Luke had
counted then-Caesar Tiberius' 15th regnal year
from his provincial rule two years before Caesar
Augustus had died. And Luke's added references to
Pilate, Herod[Antipas], Philip, Lysanias, Annas
and Caiaphas are entirely supportive of 12 AD as
the year Luke had referenced, since in every case
they are historically consistent with 27 AD. Luke
stating that Jesus was "commencing as if of years
thirty" refers to Jesus' entering the priesthood
and temple service in the(His) body of Christ,
doubtless retrospectively, in light of Jesus' own
confession "Before Abraham was, I am"[John 8:58].
That it wasn't Jesus' actual thirtieth birthday,
vs. one synodic month afterwards seems frivolous.
Luke was uncertain how to describe the age of the
eternal Son of God, as surely anyone would find
themselves awestruck in this regard, but Jesus
*was* thirty years in the body, and this was the
day of His commencement into YHWH's Ministry: He
was indeed "commencing as if of years thirty".
� Vernal(Spring) Equinox of 31 AD
Julian day: 1732461
Julian calendar: Thursday, March 22, 31 AD:
Jewish calendar: 8 Abib/Nisan 3791
Sunrise: 5:46:37 AM JST; JD 1732460.65737
Sunset: 5:47:29 PM JST; JD 1732461.15797
Notes: Hebrew calendar rules stipulated that Passover
(14 Abib/Nisan) must occur no earlier than two
days before the spring equinox, but also that
Pentecost must occur before summer, and always
on a Monday, on the 7th, 9th, 11th or 13th of
the 3rd month(Sivan), leaving but one possible
crucifixion date in 31 AD. Though the first full
moon after the spring equinox of 31 AD occurred
Monday, March 28th, the calendar correction made
130 years later by Simon III in 161 AD revealed
that the "last supper" Passover was observed the
evening before the SECOND full moon of Wednesday,
April 25th, 31 AD. The Hebrew calendar year of
Jesus' crucifixion/resurrection was a 385-day
"perfect" leap year[Type 11, 4-7-P*]. In light
of all other evidences examined, this fact proves
beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jesus' "last
supper" Passover took place on Tuesday evening,
April 24, 31 AD between 6 PM and 12 AM Wednesday
morning, very much according to traditional seder
regulations[Heb. haggada], but this Passover was
special indeed[ref. Mat 26:1-30; Mark 14:1-26;
Luke 22:1-39; John 11:55-57]. I've charted the
calendar year 3791(below), dating the historical
"three days and three nights"[ref. Jonah 1:17,
Mat 12:40] that Jesus' tortured body laid wrapped
in a linen shroud, sealed in a nearby, newly-hewn
stone sepulchre of one of our Lord's disciples,
the wealthy intellectual, Joseph of Arimathaea
[ref. Mat 27:57-60]. In the literal translation,
verse 57 says "Of evening but having come to be",
meaning that the High Sabbath of 15 Nisan, the
first day of unfermented cakes[unleavened bread]
was in effect! Remember, *this* was the body of
the LORD of the Sabbath, thus giving Lord Jesus a
proper burial on the High Sabbath was Lawful and
perfectly appropriate, but Joseph et al performed
this *work* in considerable haste for fear of the
Jews(who'd condemned Jesus)[ref John 19:38], that
they would've found Joseph et al *working* on the
sabbath "unacceptable", and would've prohibited
them from continuing and arrested them, too. We
can reasonably conclude that they might've been
crucified as well, had they been caught *working*
on the High Sabbath under *these* circumstances!
And so it was that Jesus' body was buried after
even[6:07:37 PM JST] of 15 Nisan, and after three
days was resurrected, after even[6:09:28 PM JST]
of 18 Nisan[Apr 28, 31 AD], which from even till
even the following day was counted as Sunday, the
*first* day of the Hebrew Calendar week, which
is precisely what the gospel accounts repeatedly
indicate, "the FIRST day", not the seventh[ref.
Mat 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1,19].
John 20:19 literally translated reads: "Being
therefore of evening to the day that the one[day]
of sabbaths, and of the doors having been locked
where were the disciples through the fear of the
Jews." Here's a prime example of where orthodox
theologians and liberals alike are easily given
to *misconstruing* these ancient texts in favor
of whatever is convenient in lieu of expertise.
John's gospel is "user-friendly" to the gentile
audience as well as the Jew. Quoting Robertson's:
"{When therefore it was evening on that day}
(oushv oun oqiav th hmera ekeinei). Genitive
absolute with oqia (oqiov, late), old word with
wra(hour) understood and here for the time from
six to nine(#6:16) and the locative case of time
with hmera(day). John often uses this note of
time (#1:39; 5:9; 11:53; 14:20; 16:23,26). The
addition of th mia sabbatwn(see #20:1 for this
use of mia like prwth) proves that John is using
Roman time, not Jewish, for here evening follows
day instead of preceding it..."
So this was Sunday evening April 29, 31 AD, which
was after even of *Monday* 19 Nisan by the Hebrew
Calendar. See? Okay, now that we understand this
sequence of events which were so faithfully and
accurately recorded in the four gospel accounts,
the obvious source of widespread confusion and
uncertainty about whether Jesus was resurrected
on the seventh day(Saturday) or on the first day
(Sunday) is settled. The Bible tells us that He
"was risen early the first day of the week"[ref.
Mark 16:9]. The literal translation is likewise
explicit about this "Having stood up but early to
first[day] of sabbath[week]", thus is irrefutable
that Jesus rose from the dead on the *first* day
of the calendar week, which was Saturday evening
by the Julian solar calendar, but this was in the
evening[beginning] of SUNDAY by Jewish reckoning.
Here's the calendar year 3791 for your reference:

� Palm "Sunday", 1311 days(3 years + 7 months) after Jesus'
baptism at the river Jordan, the LORD of the Sabbath rode humbly
into Jerusalem[Zec 9:9] in "the midst" of Gabriel's seventieth
sabbatic year(this was a leap year, hence 3.5 years + 1 month).
If you count from the last day of Jesus' "40 days of temptation"
up until the day of His resurrection(discovered Sunday) you get
1280 days, or exactly three and one-half solar calendar years:

Notes: Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was
in practice one "eight-day feast" for which plans
were made weeks, really months, in advance. There
were two separate hagigah sacrifices. First, the
pesah proper[paschal meal] on the eve of 14 Nisan
and second pascha, the afternoon hagigah[festive
offering] sacrifice on the afternoon of 14 Nisan,
before the festivities of 15 Nisan, or first day
of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. About two weeks
before this contiguous eight-day feast, tithes
were separated for the priesthood from the flocks
of sheep. But the paschal lamb, the one "without
blemish, a male of the first year" was selected
on 10 Nisan[ref. Exo 12]. This was the Passover
meal Jesus shared with His disciples the eve of
His crucifixion. Notably, the second pascha was
occurring at around the time Jesus died, between
3 and 5 PM that afternoon. From the King James:
"Ye know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified. Then assembled together the chief
priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the
people, unto the palace of the high priest, who
was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they
might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. But
they said, Not on the feast day[15 Nisan], lest
there be an uproar among the people."[Mat 26:2-5]
Jesus was God's Lamb for both Passover offerings,
and His sacrifice left all others of none effect:
Jesus Himself had literally become the Passover.
� Passover morning, and preparation day for the High Sabbath of
the first day of unleavened bread; Jesus was crucified at 9 AM
Wednesday morning[ref. Mark 15:25], and gave up the ghost shortly
after 3 PM that afternoon[ref. Mat 27:45-50; Mark 15:33-37; Luke
23:44-46]. It was thusly that Gabriel's "Messiah the Prince" had
been "cut off" literally in the "midst of the week"(Wednesday),
in the midst of the seventieth sabbatic year[ref. Dan 9:24-27],
just *exactly* as the prophecy had foretold 568 years before:
Julian day: 1732495
Julian calendar: Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD
Jewish calendar: 14 Abib/Nisan 3791
Sunrise: 5:02:49 AM JST; 1732494.62696
Sunset: 6:07:37 PM JST; 1732495.17196
Notes: Wednesday crucifixion proven, thus "Good Friday"
is myth. Notably, even if Jesus' crucifixion had
occurred in 30 AD (of the orthodox traditions),
the Hebrew calendar year 3790 was *not* a leap
year, a fact clearly demonstrated by the calendar
evidence. The molad for Nisan 3790 was Wednesday,
Mar 22, 30 AD @ 8:57:59 PM JST(JD 1732096.29027),
placing 1 Nisan the next day, Thursday, Mar 23,
30 AD, thus 14 Nisan fell on Wednesday, April 5,
30 AD, therefore "Friday/30 AD" church traditions
have been squarely refuted by the evidence, which
selfsame evidence has proven Wednesday, April 25,
31 AD the actual date of our Lord's crucifixion,
thus is accepted as proven fact. And for all you
33 AD crucifixion devotees out there, here, I'll
save you the trouble! The molad for Nisan 3793
was on Thursday, March 19, 33 AD @ 2:46:38 PM JST
(JD 1733189.03238), placing 1 Nisan on Saturday,
March 21, 33 AD, with 14 Nisan falling on Friday,
April 3, 33 AD. There's your Easter[Ishtar]Friday
for the crucifixion, but 33 AD doesn't hold up
very well to being in the "midst" of Gabriel's
70th sabbatic year[5.5 of 7], nor is Friday near
the "midst of the week" as Wednesday certainly
is, but the final "nail in the coffin" for the
Nicaean/Roman Catholic "Good Friday" mythologies
is provided by the Scriptures, since from *after*
6 PM Friday evening[Mat 27:57-60, John 19:38-42]
to after 6 PM Saturday evening[Mark 16:9] totals
ONE DAY i.e. one morning and one evening ONLY, or
perhaps a day and five-eighths at the outside if
one presumes to count from 3 PM Friday afternoon
to 6 AM Sunday morning(squeezing every last drop)
still well-shy of even "two days and two nights",
much less the *requisite* "three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth"[Mat 12:40] our
Lord Jesus had promised. "Friday" is invalidated,
and there're plenty more chapters and verses to
cite supporting Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD as the
*historical* crucifixion date of our Lord Jesus,
but I'll reserve these citations for follow-ups;
the point is already proven *incontrovertibly*.
� Date Jesus resurrected; scientifically-inexplicable image
produced on 1st-century linen shroud by process unknown and
unidentified. Turin shroud is proven authentic, see notes:
Julian day: 1732498
Julian calendar: Saturday Evening, April 28, 31 AD
Jewish calendar: Sunday, 18 Nisan 3791(early in the evening)
Sunrise: 4:59:26 AM JST; JD 1732497.62461
Sunset: 6:09:28 PM JST; JD 1732498.17324
Notes: This resurrection process impressed the shroud
with the image of Lord Jesus' once-dead, tortured
body, apparently resulting from bursts of radiant
energy emitted during the miraculous resurrection
process, an energy which apparently dispersed as
this process neared completion, since there's no
apparent movement visible in the shroud's image.
Mary and Martha's brother Lazarus might have left
some similar image in the swathing bands and face
cloth he was wrapped in[ref. John 11:1-44,12:17]?
Very notably, the clothes of persons who've died
wearing them for any length of time after their
death's have never *once* been shown to have any
such image impressed into the clothing's fibers,
thus proving the shroud's image is NOT a function
of any process known to science, since the man in
the shroud was very clearly a man who'd been dead
i.e. clinically and biologically dead NOT living.
Hence, the image shouldn't be there, but there it
is nonetheless! This alone is compelling evidence
for the shroud's authenticity but there's more...
The Turin shroud and Sudarium cloth are pages of
"Scripture" penned in the precious blood of our
Lord and Savior Jesus signed by the hand of God.
Just as Scripture endures all scrutiny (written
in the Spirit of Prophecy which is Jesus Christ),
the shroud and face covering invite all manner of
secular criticisms, yet the artifacts do prevail
under the brightest of lights that the scientific
inquiry has to offer! We know that the shroud and
face covering are the genuine burial linen of our
Lord Jesus since the evidence clearly proves it,
not that any such evidence is "requisite" to the
Christian faith, but neither does this imply that
one should turn a blind eye to any such evidence,
especially when the evidence is 100% conclusive.
If this evidence sways a few "doubting Thomas's"
out there, then we as Christians have done well:
� Doctors of medicine and experts in the human
anatomy including forensic pathologists/medical
examiners/coroners/etc. have examined the image
in the shroud and have concluded that this adult
male in his 30s had suffered very severe beatings
and crucifixion precisely as is described in the
New Testament gospel accounts, and some of these
medical professionals have admitted openly that
this image could be of none other than the One,
crucified Jesus[ref. Bucklin, M.D., J.D., et al].
No doubt myriad's more would admit this, but such
would jeopardize his or her own medical career's;
� The shroud measures 4.6 x 1.1 meters, standard
measurements of 8 x 2 Philatelic cubits in use in
Palestine in the first century AD. It bears the
front and back images of our Lord crucified in a
manner identical to that which was testified to
in the Scriptures, and is the most intensively
scrutinized artifact in recorded history, with
scientific testing proving time and again that
the image was produced NOT by artistic methods,
but by profound physical changes in the linen
fibers themselves by process(es) unknown and to
date unidentified. Physicist Osward Schewermann,
who'd conducted experiments on the phenomenon of
coronal discharge, i.e., discharge of radiation
from a surface charged with static electricity,
observed that flat objects like leaves discharge
electrons from their edges when they touch cloth,
forming well-defined lines which follow contours
where the leaves and cloth make contact, but more
diffused where the materials are close but do not
actually touch, partially characteristic of the
shroud's images, describing most images *but* the
inexplicable image formed by the crucified body:
THIS image no scientist in the world can explain;
� The herringbone twill @ 3:1 weave is distinctly
of *first-century* Syrian manufacture! These flax
fibrils contain entwisted cotton fibrils from the
very *same* loom, the cotton Gossypium herbaceum,
a Middle East species not found in Europe;
� The shroud contains myriad pollen grains from
at least 58 species of plants, 17 indigenous to
Europe(where it's been kept for the last seven
centuries), but the majority are indigenous to
the region of the Dead Sea and Turkey, including
Artemisia herba-alba, Nyoscyamus aureus, and
Onosma syriacum. Even the pollen of the wreath
of thorns was found to be of local origin. The
Zygophyllum dumosum is identified as the most
significant plant imaged in the shroud, as it
grows ONLY in Israel, Jordan, and Sinai. Winter
leaves all reveal their previous year's petioles,
proving the plants were picked in the springtime,
as does the state of growth for every plant thus
far identified. And some surprising images have
been identified in the shroud, including a hammer
and a nail, a broom, an ancient-style rope, even
a sponge and reed[ref. Mark 15:36]! The gospels
tell us that Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus,
with the assistance of Mary Magdalene and Mary
mother of Joses, were the ones who'd prepared
and wrapped Jesus' body, quickly gathering and
arranging these flowers which are imaged in the
shroud, preparing spices and ointments according
to the Jewish custom[ref. Mat 27:57-60, Mark
15:42-47,16:1; Luke 23:50-55; John 19:38-42]
as time permitted. This is clearly spelled out as
Jewish custom[John 19:40], and it is clear from
gospel accounts that flower arrangements evident
in the shroud were not at first completed that
dreadful early evening following the crucifixion,
but were completed on Friday following the High
Sabbath of 15 Nisan, and the final ointments etc.
were to be applied Sunday, but of course, *that*
preparation was not to be. Jesus was risen!
� Blood was typed 'AB' in all testing performed,
containing high levels of bilirubin consistent
with the severe concussive injuries suffered by
our Lord on that prophesied Passover morning.
� C14 measurements of bacteria, fungi, and bio-
plastic/biogenic varnish deposited as a result
of the symbiosis between the two organisms had
compromised the results of every C14 test done.
These 1988 radiocarbon "dating" tests averaged
the remnant C14 of the original linen with the
microorganisms Lichenothelia and Rhodococcus
AND the resultant calcium carbonate varnish.
This bioplastic varnish was NOT removed by the
cleaning procedures used in radiocarbon labs.
These microorganisms are still present, living
and multiplying on the linen shroud of Turin.
[ref. Mattingly/Garza-Vermes].
� The swath cloth[Sudarium of Oviedo; ref. John
20:6-7] shows an obvious and perfect match with
the image and stains on the shroud in at least
120 points of coincidence, and the Sudarium is
known to date at its very least back to 613 AD
from Palestine, and 1075 AD in Spain, further
proving the radiocarbon tests were compromised,
and further proof that the shroud is genuine.
� Particulate iron-oxide permeating the shroud
was proven NOT to be some "artist's pigment",
and likewise was proven NOT to be the cause of
the image in the linen fibrils of the shroud
regardless and irrespective of its origin(s).
The "debunking" media hype ignores this and all
other evidence which proves the shroud genuine.
� Microspectrophotometric analysis of blood from
the shroud found hemoglobin, but in its acid-
methemoglobin form due to its great antiquity
and denaturation. Additional tests identified
the presence of porphyrin, albumin, bilirubin
and protein. Also, when proteases were applied
to a fibril containing the denaturated blood,
the blood dissolved, but left an "imageless"
fibril[ref. Heller/Adler]. This proves the
image contemporaneous with the ancient blood
by demonstrating that those fresh bloodstains
were absorbed by the cloth before formation
of the image contained in the linen fibrils.
� In 1532 the chapel at Chambery caught fire,
and the heat was so intense that part of the
silver reliquary where the shroud was stored
melted, dripping onto the folded shroud. The
shroud was saved from the fire but the burns
were significant, since the shroud had been
exposed to intense heat at low oxygen levels.
This may also have contributed to the faulty
radiocarbon dating of the shroud, as might've
centuries of tallow candle smoke and incense.
� Iconography dating to the sixth century when
superimposed on the shroud face shows at least
170 unique points of congruity with the image.
This in itself has developed into a science,
with the shroud's singularly distinctive face
depicted everywhere in post- 6th century art.
An illustration of the entombed and enshrouded
Jesus was found in a prayer book from Budapest
called the "Pray Manuscript", depicting the "L"
pattern of unique burn holes formed earlier in
the shroud's long history, including the weave
pattern in the shroud itself(!) This manuscript
dates to 1192 with the shroud used as its model,
absolutely proving the 1988 radiocarbon dating
is hopelessly in error, thus has been discarded.
� There's much more evidence for the shroud, and
the long list of shroud evidence keeps growing.
� Jesus' resurrection discovered Sunday morning at 5 AM[Mark 16:2]:

Notes: Jesus' prophecy "For as Jonas was three days and
three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the
Son of man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth"[Mat 12:40{KJV}] tells us more
than just the time He was in the tomb(in as much
as such time can be counted by mortal men). This
passage Jesus' had paraphrased is found at Jonah
1:17 "Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of
the fish three days and three nights." Aside from
deferring Judgement on the repentant Ninevah for
perhaps another day, Jonah's scroll seems notably
incomplete, ending with 4:11 "And should not I
spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more
than sixscore thousand persons that cannot
discern between their right hand and their left
hand; and also much cattle?" This is the only
book in the entire Bible--or even the apocrypha--
which ends with a QUESTION. And what was Jonah's
reply to God's question? Might he have answered
in humility as one might expect, what might he
have said--written--in response? At first glance,
it would appear Jonah's autograph was written
on two scrolls, with the latter forever lost to
the sands of antiquity, effectively cut off right
in the midst of his dialogue. The similarity to
Gabriel's seventieth week is clear, and Jonah's
answer to God was answered in his own heart, in
spirit and in truth[John 4:23-24,14:16-21,ibid],
i.e. in our "heart, soul and mind"[Mat 22:37-40].
This is the doctrine of Lord Jesus in a nutshell
[ref. Lev 19:18; Deu 6:5].

Notes: Excerpts from the Book of Daniel 9:27(KJV):
"...and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease..." This
*cause* was the Lamb of God's crucifixion nearly
40 years(14337 days, or 39 years + 93 days) prior
to this date. "...and for the overspreading of
abominations..." The Jewish hierarchy had flatly
rejected their One True Lord and Rightful King,
rendering the temple at Jerusalem the veritable
"synagogue of Satan"[ref. Rev 2:9], kindling the
Lord God's Almighty wrath, thus "...he shall
make it desolate, even until the consummation,"
was made manifest and the prophecy was fulfilled
"...and the people of the prince that shall come
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary..." The
Prince that shall come was Jesus resurrected to
eternal glory as King of kings and Lord of lords,
so His people were the Roman soldiers under Titus
since they'd taken it upon themselves to act as
"a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth
evil."[ref. Rom 13:4]. Not to infer "endorsement"
of the Roman's murderous rampage on the city, as
this passage from 'Toward Romans' admonishes us:
"avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord". 24 days later, the
temple was set ablaze by a Roman soldier. Within
hours, the temple was destroyed, August 10, 70AD,
which was on 15 Av(Ab) 3830, not 9 Av of talmudic
tradition which had accorded "minor adjustments"
thereto presumably in remembrance of the first
temple's destruction. The new moon preceding the
fire occurred July 26 70 AD @ 7:09:03 AM JST(JD
1746831.71462), with the full moon @ 6:54:42 PM
JST August 10(JD 1746847.20466), and 1 Tishri of
the following Hebrew calendar year 3831 fell on
Monday, Sep 24, 70 AD, so August 10, 70 AD/15 Ab
3830 is definitely the correct date of the fire.

Notes: "desolate...consummation"[Dan 9:27] fulfilled.
Titus spared only the western wall and the three
towers, Hippicon, Phasaelus and Mariamme "..for
their great beauty and strength...a monument to
posterity to the magnificence of that city."
