Greetings Brethren! It has been a long time. I hope you're all fine. Today I want to share with the review of the Biblical context of the HOLY DAY not Holiday! I was able to go through the YouTube video as explained by Bro. Eli on the exact days that form the Holy days. For the time when I became a Christian, I've learnt through series of preaching that Jesus Christ died on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. But none of my Pastors calculator for us the begining of these days and the it ends. However, I've learnt a lot when I watched the Video.
I just absorbed through Bro. Eli Biblical review of the duration which form the Holy day, the start of the death of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection. Actually, it wouldn't proof that Jesus Christ is the "Messiah" if He died on Friday and Resurrected on Sunday. Already in the Ancient times in the Catholic week, the "Semana mala" regarded as the Unholy weeks are the 51 weeks which you're allowed to made merry for all your days; drink, eat and party 🥳🎉 with friends except the "Semana santa" which is regarded as the Holy week, the week of crucifixion and resurrection in which we pay tribute to our Lord Jesus Christ of which you can't make any of the lifestyle as I had mentioned. It's in line with the Holy days that Jesus Christ died and resurrected which are sacred days you can't make merry.
We are often perplexed about the "Semana santa" the Holy days as declared by the Catholic and other Christian denominations as the pronouncement of this 3 days crucifixion and resurrection begin on Friday and ends on Sunday as we have long believed. But through the help of Bible Context explained by Bro. Eli, it was clear that the death of Christ began on Wednesday evening which Christ was crucified according to the Jewis calendar days, the previous night marks the beginning of the next day. So if we can count from Friday being the exact day Jesus Christ was buried it means the days of Christ crucifixion and resurrection would have been less than 3 days. The 3days it took Jesus to be resurrected means 3 days and 3 nights as confirmed in Matthew:
Matthew 12:39-40
"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
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."
So the beginning of the day after the Christ crucifixion is the Thursday morning and Thursday evening count as day 1. The beginning or the second day is the Friday and Friday night. Saturday is morning and evening marks the last 3 days days when Jesus was buried in the thumb. So Sunday is the the fresh day for Jesus Christ Resurrection for the Bible to fulfill. And this is the doctrine of the Bible and the Holy day when we say Jesus died and resurrected on 3 days time.
