02:59Easter Fraud
03:07Walking in God's Calendar
03:10The foundation of biblical faith is not tradition, repetition, or inherited religious custom, but truth revealed by God and preserved in Scripture.
03:21When Yeshua of Nazareth was challenged to demonstrate His authority, He did not appeal to signs of power, political liberation, or religious prestige.
03:30Instead, He offered one definitive proof by which His messianic identity would stand or fall.
03:37For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, He declared,
03:44So shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
03:49Matthew 12.40
03:50This was not metaphorical language, nor was it an open-ended figure of speech.
03:56It was a measurable, time-bound prophecy.
03:59If the sign fails, then the claim fails with it.
04:03The question, therefore, is not whether Easter Sunday is meaningful to many believers, but whether it can truthfully fulfill Messiah's own words.
04:13The modern Easter narrative assumes a Friday crucifixion followed by a Sunday morning resurrection.
04:18This framework has been repeated so consistently that it has acquired the status of unquestioned orthodoxy.
04:26Yet repetition does not create truth, and tradition does not sanctify error.
04:32When Scripture is examined carefully, alongside Torah, historical chronology, and the biblical calendar, the Easter model collapses.
04:41What emerges instead is a precise, internally consistent timeline that aligns Messiah's death and resurrection with God's appointed times,
04:52rather than with later ecclesiastical tradition.
04:56Any accurate reconstruction must begin not at the crucifixion, but at the start of Messiah's public ministry.
05:04Luke's Gospel provides one of the most historically anchored introductions in the New Testament.
05:08Luke situates the ministry of John the Baptist, and consequently the baptism of Yeshua, within a specific political framework.
05:18In the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.
05:22Luke 3.1
05:23This is not devotional language.
05:27It is a chronological marker intended to be verified.
05:30The difficulty arises not from Luke's clarity, but from later assumptions about how Roman reigns were counted.
05:38Tiberius did not begin exercising imperial authority only after the death of Augustus in 14 CE.
05:46Roman historical records attest that Tiberius was granted co-regency authority beginning in 12 CE, ruling alongside Augustus with full administrative power.
05:56In Roman practice, particularly in the eastern provinces, such co-regencies were commonly counted as legitimate reign years.
06:05When Tiberius' reign is calculated from 12 CE, his 15th year falls in 27 CE.
06:12This date aligns perfectly with Luke's statement that Yeshua was about 30 years of age when he was baptized.
06:21It also harmonizes with the beginning of Pontius Pilate's governorship in 26 CE, making a 27 CE baptism not only plausible, but expected.
06:31By contrast, the commonly cited 33 CE crucifixion date depends on compressing Luke's chronology and ignoring the co-regency evidence.
06:42It rests on the calendar system of Dionysius Exiguus, introduced in the 6th century, which misdated Yeshua's birth to 1 AD.
06:50This error disregarded well-established historical data concerning Herod the Great, who died around 4 BCE.
06:59If Herod was alive at the time of Yeshua's birth, then a 1 AD birth is impossible.
07:05Once this foundational error is removed, the timeline resolves naturally.
07:11Baptism in 27 CE, a ministry lasting approximately 3 and a half years, confirmed by multiple Passovers in the Gospels,
07:19and a crucifixion in the spring of 30 CE.
07:24The timing of the crucifixion itself is stated plainly in Scripture.
07:29All four Gospels place Yeshua's death at Passover.
07:33John is especially precise, noting that Yeshua was sentenced and crucified on the day of preparation of the Passover.
07:40John 19.14
07:42Torah defines Passover as the 14th day of the first month, Nisan, Leviticus 23.5
07:50In 30 CE, when the Hebrew calendar is reconstructed according to lunar visibility and seasonal alignment,
07:58Nisan 14 falls on a Wednesday.
08:01This conclusion is not theological speculation, but calendrical astronomy.
08:07The Hebrew calendar is lunar-solar, governed by the sighting of the new moon and adjusted to preserve agricultural seasons.
08:15Days are counted from sunset to sunset, not from midnight to midnight.
08:20Passover is fixed by date, not weekday.
08:24When this system is applied consistently, the midweek crucifixion emerges without strain.
08:31Attempts to force the crucifixion onto Friday require redefining Passover, ignoring lunar reckoning,
08:37or dismissing explicit statements in John's Gospel.
08:41The calendar itself resists such manipulation.
08:45John further clarifies that the Sabbath following the crucifixion was a high day, John 19.31.
08:51This distinction is critical.
08:55Leviticus 23 lists the appointed times and designates certain festival days as Sabbaths regardless of the day of the week on which they fall.
09:04The first day of unleavened bread, immediately following Passover, is one such high Sabbath.
09:11John's wording is unnecessary unless he intends to distinguish this Sabbath from the regular weekly Sabbath.
09:16Yet traditional Easter teaching routinely collapses all Sabbath references into a single Saturday,
09:23erasing this distinction and obscuring the flow of events.
09:28In a Wednesday crucifixion framework, the sequence becomes coherent.
09:33Messiah is crucified and buried before sunset on Wednesday.
09:37Wednesday sunset to Thursday, sunset marks the high Sabbath.
09:41Friday is a preparation day.
09:44Saturday is the weekly Sabbath.
09:47This explains why the women observed the burial, prepared spices, rested according to the commandment,
09:53and still arrived early on the first day of the week.
09:57The Gospel accounts do not contradict each other.
10:00They contradict later assumptions imposed upon them.
10:03The urgency surrounding Messiah's burial is also governed by Torah.
10:10Deuteronomy commands that a body hung on a tree must not remain overnight, lest the land be defiled.
10:16Deuteronomy 21, 22-23
10:19Yeshua was removed quickly to obey Torah.
10:24Honor the approaching high Sabbath and protect the land from defilement.
10:28Paul later reveals the theological depth of this act,
10:33writing that Messiah became a curse for us.
10:36Galatians 3, 13
10:37Yet even in bearing the curse, he did not violate Torah.
10:43He fulfilled it completely,
10:44absorbing the curse without allowing the land itself to be defiled.
10:49Such precision is incompatible with an approximate or careless timeline.
10:54At the center of the debate stands the sign of Jonah itself.
10:59Scripture defines a day clearly.
11:01Genesis establishes the pattern.
11:04There was evening and there was morning.
11:06The first day.
11:08Genesis 1, 5
11:09Yeshua affirms this understanding when he asks,
11:13Are there not twelve hours in the day?
11:16John 11, 9
11:18A biblical day consists of twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness,
11:24counted from evening to evening.
11:25The explicit inclusion of nights removes any ambiguity.
11:31Three days and three nights equal seventy-two hours.
11:35A Friday afternoon burial, followed by a Sunday morning resurrection,
11:39yields no more than thirty-six to forty-two hours.
11:43No appeal to idiom can create an additional night.
11:47Jonah was not in the fish for parts of three days.
11:50He was there for a complete duration explicitly defined as three days and three nights.
11:56Yeshua invokes this account precisely because it is measurable.
12:01The prophecy either stands or it does not.
12:03Only a Wednesday burial before sunset allows the full count.
12:08Wednesday night and Thursday day.
12:11Thursday night and Friday day.
12:13Friday night and Saturday day.
12:15At the end of the weekly Sabbath,
12:18Havdalah,
12:19the count is complete.
12:21The sign is fulfilled exactly.
12:24Scripture never states that Yeshua rose on Sunday morning.
12:28It states that the tomb was found empty early on the first day of the week.
12:33These are not the same event.
12:36Messiah rested fully in the tomb through both the high Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath,
12:40fulfilling the pattern of divine rest.
12:42He rose at the transition point between holy time and ordinary time,
12:47at the close of Sabbath.
12:49Matthew's account confirms that the guards did not witness the resurrection
12:52and report it immediately.
12:55Instead, they later informed the chief priests of what had already occurred.
13:00Matthew 28, 11-15
13:02This indicates that the resurrection happened while they were still on duty
13:07during the night before the women arrived at dawn.
13:10When scripture, Torah, Roman chronology, and the Hebrew calendar are allowed to speak together,
13:17the traditional Easter framework proves untenable.
13:20It depends on a misdated birth,
13:23ignores high Sabbaths,
13:25compresses Messiah's own words,
13:27and replaces God's calendar with ecclesiastical convenience.
13:30This does not impugn the sincerity of those who observe Easter,
13:35but sincerity cannot convert error into truth.
13:39God's redemptive acts are never random.
13:42They occur at appointed times.
13:44Messiah was baptized on time,
13:47revealed on time,
13:48crucified on time,
13:50buried on time,
13:52and raised on time.
13:53Each moment aligns with Torah,
13:56prophecy,
13:57and creation order.
13:59To alter that timing is not a minor adjustment.
14:02It is a theological distortion.
14:04The issue, then,
14:06is not merely which day is celebrated,
14:08but whether scripture is allowed to define reality.
14:11If the sign of Jonah is shortened,
14:14reinterpreted,
14:15or ignored,
14:16the authority of Messiah's own testimony is diminished.
14:19But when God's calendar is honored,
14:22the picture becomes clear,
14:24coherent,
14:25and exact.
14:27God's appointed times are not suggestions.
14:30They are declarations.
14:32And when they are followed,
14:33the resurrection stands,
14:35not weakened,
14:36but strengthened,
14:37fulfilled exactly as written.
14:40God's calendar,
14:41not human tradition,
14:43defines His signs.
14:45I am calling you to repentance
14:46and return to Yahweh's appointed time.
14:50If these things are true,
14:52and if scripture,
14:53Torah,
14:53and history together testify with one voice,
14:56then a response is required.
14:59Truth is never given merely to inform.
15:02It is given to summon.
15:04When God reveals that His appointed times
15:07have been replaced by human tradition,
15:09neutrality is no longer an option.
15:12The issue is not academic curiosity,
15:14but covenant faithfulness.
15:17Throughout scripture,
15:18repentance is never framed merely as sorrow
15:20over personal sin.
15:22Repentance,
15:23in its biblical sense,
15:25means turning.
15:26A decisive realignment away from human ways
15:29and back toward God's ways.
15:30Again and again,
15:33Yahweh rebukes Israel,
15:35not for abandoning religion,
15:36but for practicing worship
15:38that He did not command.
15:40In vain do they worship Me,
15:43He says,
15:44teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
15:47Isaiah 29.13
15:48Echoed by Yeshua
15:50in Matthew 15.9
15:52Sincerity did not excuse disobedience then,
15:56and it does not excuse it now.
15:59Yahweh Himself established His calendar
16:01long before there was a church,
16:03a pope,
16:04or an empire.
16:06These are the appointed times of Yahweh,
16:09He declares in Leviticus 23.2.
16:12Not Jewish feasts,
16:13not cultural traditions,
16:15but His moedim.
16:17They are not optional commemorations,
16:19nor are they shadows rendered obsolete by tradition.
16:23Scripture calls them appointed times,
16:26sacred rehearsals embedded in creation and redemption alike.
16:29They reveal Yahweh's plan,
16:33His timing,
16:34and His Messiah.
16:36When man-made celebrations
16:37replace Yahweh's moedim,
16:39the issue is not merely incorrect dates.
16:42It is displaced authority.
16:45To keep a celebration,
16:46Yahweh did not appoint,
16:48while neglecting those He did,
16:50is to say,
16:51however unintentionally,
16:52that human tradition
16:53has the right to override divine command.
16:57This is precisely the charge Yeshua leveled
16:59against the religious leaders of His day.
17:02You nullify the Word of God
17:04for the sake of your tradition.
17:06Matthew 15.6
17:08The question, then,
17:10is not whether Easter contains references to Messiah.
17:14The question is,
17:16whether Yahweh ever commanded it.
17:19Scripture is silent where tradition is loud.
17:22Yahweh commanded Passover,
17:24unleavened bread,
17:26first fruits,
17:27Shavuot,
17:28trumpets,
17:28atonement,
17:29and tabernacles.
17:31He never commanded Easter,
17:33nor did Messiah or His apostles.
17:36To continue in what Yahweh did not appoint,
17:39once truth has been revealed,
17:41is no longer ignorance.
17:43It is choice.
17:44This is where repentance becomes necessary.
17:48Repentance does not mean abandoning Messiah.
17:50It means honoring Him fully.
17:52Yeshua did not live,
17:54and rise according to Rome's calendar,
17:58but according to His Father's.
18:00He kept the modem.
18:02He fulfilled them.
18:03And He was raised precisely within them.
18:06To return to Yahweh's appointed times is not legalism.
18:10It is alignment.
18:11It is acknowledging that God's timing is not symbolic,
18:16not flexible,
18:17and not subject to revision.
18:19Some will object that changing long-held practices is difficult,
18:24disruptive,
18:24or socially costly.
18:27Scripture has always acknowledged that obedience carries cost.
18:32Yet Yahweh never measures faithfulness by convenience.
18:34When Israel returned from exile,
18:38they did not ask which commands were culturally acceptable.
18:41They asked which ones were true.
18:44The call was not to balance tradition with Torah,
18:47but to restore what had been forgotten.
18:50This is not a call to condemnation,
18:52but to correction.
18:54Yahweh does not reveal truth in order to shame,
18:57but to restore.
18:58The prophets consistently show that when God exposes error,
19:02it is because He desires return.
19:05Return to me,
19:07Yahweh says,
19:08and I will return to you,
19:10Malachi 3.7.
19:12That return includes time itself,
19:15how it is counted,
19:16remembered,
19:17and sanctified.
19:19To return to Yahweh's modem
19:21is to step back into His rhythm,
19:23His story,
19:24and His authority.
19:25It is to let scripture,
19:27not tradition,
19:28define worship.
19:30It is to honor the Messiah
19:32not only in name,
19:33but in obedience to the very calendar
19:35that testified of Him.
19:38Therefore,
19:39let those who have ears hear.
19:42Let us turn from man-made celebrations
19:44that Yahweh never appointed,
19:46however familiar they may be,
19:47and return to the times He declared holy.
19:51Let us repent,
19:53not merely with words,
19:54but with action,
19:56realigning our worship with truth.
19:59For Yahweh has not changed,
20:01His appointed times have not changed,
20:04and His call remains the same,
20:07greater than these are my appointed times.
20:09may we have the humility to return.
