“Remember My Death: Is Yahushua the REAL Messiah?”

Is Yahushua (Jesus) the REAL Messiah?

Is He really the Messiah? How do I know? There are a lot of people who say they are the Messiah. How do I know if Yahushuais really the Messiah? What are my signs? What’s Yahushua’s proof?

I’m not the only one who wonders about that. Surely, some of you have, too. In fact, in the Bible, the Jews asked Yahushua for a sign that He is the Messiah. Yahushua says that the sign would be that He would die and resurrect after three days and three nights. That’s THE sign. A sign is a PROOF, a 100% TRUTH, no fibs, no twisting, and no covering up. 100% truith as to show that there is NO mistake that He is THE Messiah.

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. -Matthew 12:4

That’s quite hard to do. Can you get yourself to come back alive? Sounds impossible! You will have to have an “outer” source to bring you back to life. A defibrillator can bring you back to life and God also can. Yahushua’s proof that He is the Messiah is a TOUGH proof. He became specific– THREE days and THREE nights.

If Yahushua resurrected 2 days and 1 night. HE IS NOT THE MESSIAH. That’s another god…. I am looking for the Messiah that died and rose after 3 days and 3 nights.

The Easter holiday followed by million of Christians say that Jesus (Yahushua) died on a Friday (Good Friday) and was resurrected on a Sunday. That’s 1 day and TWO nights.  It’s half filled. That’s a false Messiah– I’m not interested in any false Messiah who cannot FULFIL 100% of the sign: 3 days and 3 nights. If Jesus (Yahushua) was not in the ground three days and three nights, then He is a liar and not truly the Son of God.  God forbid!

Unfortunately, Easter tradition pollutes the very sign that Yahushua gave of His identity as the Son of God. The Catholic church by Pope Constaine overthrew God’s feast, “The Passover” and replaced it with a pagan holiday, “Easter”. He even changed the dates making it Friday and Sunday. This is a total error. Yahushua was not crucified on a Friday and resurrected on a Sunday as, unfortunately, many people think.

Yahushua was crucified on a Wednesday and was resuurected on a Sabbath. Let’s stop spreading false signs about the Messiah and begin to tell the truth.

Here’s a timeline of Yahushua’ death and resurrection. Verses will be shown on the bottom (on video). Remember the Hebrew calendar begins a new day at sunset, not “midnight”. Nisan 15 is the Passover date. Nisan is the hebrew month which is between March and April.

Before Passover, Here in Matthew 26:1 and 2, Yahushua being the son of man now knows that He was going to be killed by crucifixion. He knows that He was the true sacrificial offering, the Passover Lamb of God. The Passover was sacrificed on the 14th of Nisan and Yahushua was talking in the evening of 11th Nisan going into 12th Nisan at sunset.

“When Yahushua had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”- Matthew 26:1.

Nisan 13, Tuesday (by sunset, Wednesday, Nisan 14): Yahushua ate an evening Passover meal with His disciples and insitutied the New Covenant symbols (Matthew 26:26-28)

Nisan 14, Wednesday-early morning (1 am?): Yahushua goes to Gethsemane (Matthew 26:30) and there Yahushua was then betrayed by Judas. (Luke 22:48). Yahushua is brought before the high priests. (Mark 14:53)

Wednesday morning: Yahushua is brought to Pilate and stands before the crowd. (Matthew 27:22). Yahushua is sent to be crucified at 9 a.m. (Mark 15:25)

Wednesday noon: Though it is noontime, it became dark as nighttime

Wednesday afternoon: Yahushua died around 3 p.m. (Matthew 26: 33-37)

Wednesday evening: This was the preparation day for the annual, not weekly, Sabbath, which began at sunset (Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:31). Jesus body was placed in the tomb at twilight (Matthew 27:57-60).

FIRST NIGHT

Nisan 15, Thursday: Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset was the high-day Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31, Leviticus 23:4-7.) It is described as the day after the Day of Preparation (Matthew 27:62). The Pharisees go to the Pilate to have guards protect the tomb.

FIRST DAY

SECOND NIGHT

Friday, Nisan 16: The high-day Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared spices for annoiting Yahushua’s body before resting on the weekly Sabbath day, which began at Friday sunset (Mark 16:1, Luke 23:56)

SECOND DAY

THIRD NIGHT

Nisan 17, Sabbath: THE THIRD DAY: The women rested on the weekly Sabbath, according to the Fourth Commandment (Luke 23:56; Exodus 20:8-11). Yahushua rose around sunset, exactly three days and three nights after burial, fulfilling the sign of Jonah and authenticating the sign He gave of His messiahship.

Nisan 18, Sunday: The women brought the spices early in the morning while it was still dark (Luke 24:1; John 20:1), finding that Yahushua had already risen (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:2-3; John 20:1). He did not rise on Sunday morning, but near sunset the day before.

The gospel record of Yahushua the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection prove His identifying sign of three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39-40).

Anyone holding to a Friday crucifixion and/or a Sunday morning resurrection is polluting the very sign Jesus gave to prove that He is the Son of God. 

What have bunnies and eggs done for you and me?

It was GOd’s desire that His children celebrate Passover forever. Certainly, God was not saying “forever” in vain.

“So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.” -Exodus 12:17

And Yahushua says to do so in the New Covenant. “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” -Luke 22:17

Yahushua says to REMEMBER his death (not birthdays as many of us do!)  REMEMBER His DEATH– when we do the Passover, we remember Yahushua.

And Paul tells us in the New Covenant to keep the festival!

“Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast–as you really are. For Messiah, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.”-1 Corinthians 5:6-8

Who’s your God that you will listen? The God that commanded us to celebrate Passover, or the god, the pope Constantine, that has commanded us to celebrate Easter and throw away God’s feasts?

Who’s your Messiah? The Messiah that fulfilled three days and three nights or the bunny, Ishtar, that died on friday and resurrected on sunday?

You have been spared because of the passover LAMB, not because of the bunny.

I did two vlogs last year titled “Easter is not a Bibical Holiday” and “A Messianic Passover” You can find them under http://www.leforstribe.com/ one in the month of March 2008 and one in April 2008.

Happy Passover!!
