Resurrection Week 2002
The Last 10 Days with Jesus on earth.

 

Luke 12:49,50 But I am (Jesus) come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

 

Spending Resurrection (Easter) Week With Jesus 2,000 Years Ago.

 

As disciples of Jesus, lets go back with Jesus and the disciples to revisit and re-live the last week that Jesus spent on earth. This week is also referred to as Holy Week. The 10 days will be Friday through the next Sunday. To examine the last week we will have to piece together many items and statements from throughout the Bible. As we go back to the original Holy Week, we will travel like students and detectives, searching the scriptures for events and clues that took place nearly 2,000 years ago. We will in actuality be students and detectives of Jesus, searching out Who He is and what His ministry came to accomplish here on earth.

 

Our first and most substantial clue to the last days of Jesus visit on earth is the fact that Jesus rose from the dead and that He did it on the first day of the week Sunday. We find this important information in each of the four gospels. Matthew 21, Mark 16:1,2, Luke 24:1, and John 20:1. Sunday is the first day of the week. We often consider Monday to be the first day of the week but Monday is actually the first workday of the week. A glance at any calendar will confirm that Sunday is listed first in the row with Saturday being the last day of the week. God prescribed in the 10 commandments, given by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai, for the last day of the week to be a Sabbath or a day of rest Exodus 20:10. The last day, Saturday, of each week is the rest day for every Jew. As detectives we write our first piece of information in the column with the heading of Sunday, The resurrection of Jesus, from Death to Life. We currently celebrate this day as Easter but the correct name for this day is Resurrection Sunday.

 

Next as detectives Matthew 12:40 tells us that Jesus Himself told the Scribes and the Pharisees who were asking of Him to perform a miraculous sign, that indeed a miraculous sign would be given and the sign would be that Jesus would spend three days and three nights in the center of the earth, just like Jonah the prophet spent three days and three nights in the whales belly, Jonah 1:17. In many places the Bible tells that Jesus was to suffer and die then be resurrected the third day, Matt 16:21, Mark 8:31, Luke 9:32. Counting back from Resurrection Sunday three days and three nights, we now land on the Thursday column as the day of the Crucifixion of Jesus. Traditionally, Friday is celebrated as the day of crucifixion but remember we are journeying back to the original Holy Week to be with Jesus and the disciples. Knowing that Thursday was the day of crucifixion, we also now know that Wednesday, the day before the crucifixion is the Passover or the day that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with the disciples.

 

We now have five of our ten days of Jesus activity known, the Sunday of resurrection and the Thursday of Crucifixion and the Wednesday of the Last Supper or Passover. Now as detectives we can broaden our horizon of the last week and catch up to Jesus and the disciples. John 12:1 tells us Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany where Lazarus was. Six days before the Passover on Wednesday will place Jesus at Lazarus house on the preceding Friday. We can now travel back to the Friday before the Passover and meet with Jesus and the disciples to spend the last Glorious week with Him.

 

[Friday] This day coincides with Friday March 22, 2002

On our journey to be with Jesus we find that Bethany is located on the Mount of Olives, Luke 19:29, Mark 11:1 and that Bethany is less than 2 miles from Jerusalem, John 11:18. Once we walk up the Mount of Olives and ask directions to Lazarus, Marys, and Marthas house, we would come into a small stone house to find Martha busy working in the kitchen while Mary is seated near Jesus. Lazarus whom Jesus had recently raised from the dead John 11:44 was also seated at the table, no doubt with much to talk to Jesus about. If we came in at just the right moment, we would smell the aroma that filled the house as Mary anointed Jesus with almost a pound of very costly Spikenard oil John 12:3. We would hear Judas and the other disciples complain that the expensive ointment was wasted and hear the rebuke of Jesus as He defended Mary and proclaimed that she had done an honorable act of worship in anointing Him for His coming burial.

I found this on the Occult Recovery Room Forum and thought it conveys really well the concept that I was talking about in the Pharisees dispute with Jesus Wednesday 25. 

----

As life squeezes us, different things come out; anger from one, 

a need for revenge from another,

tears from one, 

remorse from yet another -

also greed, untruth, lust -

and finally, from one saint, pours forth the love of Christ.

 

Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in - stay in the Word daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts the squeeze on you (and it WILL), Jesus, and Jesus ALONE will shine forth from you!

(full text)

 

There are 5 sponges laying on your kitchen counter top.

 

Each member of your family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but all the sponges look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned in your home, but you can't tell by looking... they all look the same...so what do you do?

 

You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out.

 

As you squeeze the first sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that someone cleaned the kitchen with that one.

 

Upon squeezing the second sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner - that one was used to clean the bathroom.

 

Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil - hubby was cleaning the garage!

 

In the fourth sponge, baby powder puffs out when it is squeezed - yep, the baby's nursery was done with that one!

 

And finally, the fifth, in the last one, is floor wax - that was the one you used on the hall floor!

 

As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity - and they all look the same until they're squeezed.

 

Christians are the same way.

 

As life squeezes us, different things come out; anger from one, 

a need for revenge from another,

tears from one, 

remorse from yet another -

also greed, untruth, lust -

and finally, from one saint, pours forth the love of Christ.

 

Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in - stay in the Word daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts the squeeze on you (and it WILL), Jesus, and Jesus ALONE will shine forth from you!

This is the beginning of the 5,762 Passover Since the Original Passover Feast with Moses in Egypt.

Pessah (Passover) 5762 begins tonight
By Judy Siegel

JERUSALEM (March 27) - Jews around the world will mark the Exodus from Egypt to freedom at the Pessah seder tonight with matza, four cups of wine, songs, and festive meals. 

Many Israelis will take advantage of the the seven-day holiday to enjoy nature and shopping centers, despite the current security situation. Families are making final preparations, eating food with leavening until 9:10 a.m. and symbolically burning the remainder before 10:27 a.m.

Say, you wouldn't happen to have the exact times too? It's bad enough not knowing what to wear!

Hi Cardnlsyn,

 

Exact times, no not yet.

 

But I am also working on what to wear. I think a garment of Praise would suite me nicely.

 

Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me (Jesus); because the LORD hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,  and the opening of the prison  to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;  that they might be called  trees  of righteousness,  the planting  of the LORD,  that he might be glorified.

 

Thanks for your information in the other post as well!

 

God Bless You,

Have a Wonderful Resurrection day!

David
