This Changes the Last Supper Forever

there's a lot of confusion about the timeline of the crucifixion and today i want to dig deep into the subject we're going to look at when the passover's supposed to be kept was the last supper at passover and what day was yeshua crucified my name is lex and welcome to unlearn so the first thing we need to look at is when passover's supposed to be kept there is some argument today about if passover is on the evening beginning the 14th day or if it's on the evening ending the 14th day according to the bible a day begins and ends at evening the hebrew word for evening is a rev and it means mixture it's a mixture of day and night it refers to the time when the sun is no longer visible but the light from the sun is still visible one day is ending and the next day's beginning it's also called sunset or twilight we can see this clearly illustrated when we look at the day of atonement also the tenth day of the seventh month shall be the day of atonement it shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest and you shall afflict your souls on the ninth day of the month at evening from evening to evening you shall celebrate your sabbath the tenth day of the seventh month is the day of atonement and that day begins at sunset on the 9th the evening beginning the 10th day is called the evening of the 9th and the evening ending the 10th day is called the evening of the 10th keep that in mind as we look at the language of passover on the 14th day of the first month at twilight is the lord's passover let the children of israel keep the passover at its appointed time on the 14th day of this month at twilight you shall keep it at its appointed time according to all its rites and ceremonies you shall keep it so on the 14th day at twilight or sunset is the passover this means at the evening ending the 14th day is when you keep the passover notice that we are to keep the passover at the appointed time which means we're not supposed to do it any other day so keeping it on the evening of the 13th would be a violation of this command passover is the meal that begins the piece of unleavened bread and they are lumped together on the 14th day of the first month at twilight is the lord's passover and on the 15th day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the lord seven days you must eat unleavened bread on the first day you shall have a holy convocation you shall do no customary work on it but you shall offer an offering made by fire to the lord for seven days the seventh day shall be a holy convocation you shall do no customary work on it notice that unleavened bread is to beaten for seven days not eight days if we pass over on the evening beginning the 14th the evening of the 13th we would be eating unleavened bread for eight days which doesn't fit the commandment so once again this points to the end of the 14th day not the beginning also listen to what the bible says about the lamb the bible says we are to keep the lamb until the fourteenth day and kill it at twilight now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month then the whole assembly of the congregation of israel shall kill it at twilight if you kill the lamb on the evening ending the 13th then you haven't kept it until the 14th day to kill it on the 14th day at twilight means to kill it at the end of the 14th day okay hopefully i've explained that well enough now let's look at the last supper was the last supper a passover some people have argued that the last supper was not a passover celebration but let's examine what the bible says now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to jesus saying to him where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the passover now on the first day of unleavened bread when they killed the passover lamb his disciples said to him where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the passover then came the day of unleavened bread when the passover must be killed so we see from the gospels that this event happened on the day that the passover must be killed that means it was the 14th day of the first month now listen to the instructions that yeshua gave his disciples concerning this meal and he said go into the city to a certain man and say to him the teacher says my time is at hand i will keep the passover at your house with my disciples wherever he goes in say to the master of the house the teacher says where's the guest room in which i may eat the passover with my disciples and he said peter and john saying go and prepare the passover for us that we may eat it then you shall say to the master of the house the teacher says to you where is the guest room where i may eat the passover with my disciples so yeshua clearly said he's going to eat the passover with his disciples in that house and yeshua is not a liar he told the disciples to prepare the passover so they could eat it together and the disciples did what he asked and they prepared the passover meal so the disciples did as jesus had directed them and they prepared the passover so his disciples went out and came into the city and found it just as he had said to them and they prepared the passover so they went and found it just as he had said to them and they prepared the passover now notice when they set down to eat they ate at evening the correct time to eat the passover when evening had come he sat down with the twelve now as they were eating he said assuredly i say to you one of you will betray me in the evening he came with the twelve now as they sat and ate jesus said assuredly i say to you one of you who eats with me will betray me when the hour had come he sat down and the twelve apostles with him then he said to them with fervent desire i have desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer when the hour come at evening he sat down to eat the passover with them this is the appointed time that we read about in numbers let the children of israel keep the passover at its appointed time on the 14th day of this month at twilight you shall keep it at its appointed time according to all its rites and ceremonies you shall keep it i've heard people argue that yeshua kept passover a day early because he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep it the next day that's impossible because yeshua did everything correctly we're commanded to keep passover at a specific appointed time and that's at the end of the 14th day at the sunset and the bible says that yeshua kept it at that time with his disciples yeshua emphasizes this fact by saying with fervent desire i have desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer i've heard various theories that try to say that the last supper was not passover and what i've come to realize is that they're attempting to fit the bible into their theory they believe that yeshua died on passover on the 14th day at sunset so they have to figure out what to do with all the scriptures that tell us that he ate passover the night before some say eat passover early while others say the last supper wasn't even a passover at all they're ignoring what the bible clearly says and they're twisting things to fit their theory the confusion seems to be with understanding what john wrote about the crucifixion then they led jesus from caiaphas to the praetorium and it was early morning but they themselves did not go into the praetorium lest they should be defiled but that they might eat the passover at first glance this sounds like yeshua is going to be crucified on the day before the passover meal however that doesn't fit with the other gospels and i don't believe the gospels are contradicting one another about this so how do we understand this the first thing we need to realize is that the entire feast of unleavened bread was referred to as passover now the feast of unleavened bread drew near which is called passover we see here that the bible is defining terms for us they came to call the entire feast passover long before the first century and we see evidence of this in the old testament the prophet ezekiel refers to passover as a feast of seven days in the first month on the 14th day of the month you shall observe the passover a feast of seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten so with that in mind consider that the priests didn't want to be defiled at any point during the feast of passover because they would be eating sacrifices every night we read in numbers 28 that there were special passover sacrifices offered up every day for the entire seven days of the feast on the 14th day of the first month is the passover of the lord and on the 15th day of this month is the feast unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days and you shall present an offering made by fire as a burnt offering to the lord two young bulls one ram and seven lambs in the first year be sure they are without blemish you shall offer these beside the burnt offerings of the morning which is for a regular burnt offering in this manner you shall offer the food of the offering made by fire daily for seven days as a sweet aroma to the lord it shall be offered beside the regular burnt offerings and its drink offering so you see that john isn't contradicting the other gospels yeshua ate passover on the 14th day at evening and he was crucified on the 15th the priest didn't want to be defiled because they had duties all week for the feast of passover so what day of the week was yeshua crucified this brings us to the theory that yeshua died on wednesday this theory is based on preconceived ideas that they're trying to fit into scripture instead of simply letting the bible interpret itself the people who teach that yeshua died on wednesday also teach that he didn't eat the passover at the last supper the reason they do this is because they're looking for two sabbath days during the crucifixion week and if he ate passover at the last supper that means he died on the 15th the festival sabbath but they need the festival sabbath to be the day that follows his crucifixion for their theory to work let me try to explain this theory they believe yeshua ate the last supper on tuesday evening but it wasn't passover then he died on wednesday which they say is the preparation day for the passover then they say he was buried on wednesday evening right before the festival sabbath began then thursday was the festival sabbath and friday women prepared spices for his burial and they rested on the regular weekly sabbath and went to the tomb early sunday morning to find the tomb empty this creates two sabbaths between the crucifixion and the resurrection but the bible doesn't give us two sabbaths when people try to fit the bible into their theories they end up with things like this what we need to do is set aside our preconceived ideas and simply let the bible interpret itself the bible tells us that yeshua died on the preparation day for the sabbath which means he died on friday now an evening had come because it was the preparation day that is the day before the sabbath joseph of arimathea a prominent council member who was himself waiting for the kingdom of god coming and taking courage went in to pilate and asked for the body of jesus this verse defines for us what the preparation day is it is the day before the sabbath at that time the jewish people refer to friday as the preparation day because it's the day they prepared for the sabbath they wanted to get the body of yeshua in the tomb before the sabbath began at sunset john calls this day the preparation day as well but the way he phrases it has caused a little confusion for some people because john calls it the preparation day of the passover now it was the preparation day of the passover and about the sixth hour and he said to the jews behold your king therefore because it was the preparation day that the body should not remain on the cross on the sabbath for that day was a high day the jews asked pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away so there they lay jesus because of the jews preparation day for the tomb was nearby as i mentioned before the phrase preparation day is an exclusive reference to friday the preparation day for the sabbath and john even confirms this here by saying it was the jews preparation day but what does john mean when he says the preparation day of the passover he's simply saying it was friday during passover week remember that the entire feast of unleavened bread is called passover so the preparation day of passover is the friday during passover some people see contradictions between john's gospel and the other three and they want to say john is right and the other gospels are wrong while other people say matthew mark and luke are correct but john is wrong however i'm saying that all four gospels are correct and they're all telling us the same thing we just have to see it from a first century jewish perspective to understand it all four gospels agree that the crucifixion took place on friday the preparation day for the sabbath during passover week there's no contradiction in the text the contradiction happens when we don't look at all four gospels together for context if you try to single out one gospel at the exclusion of the others you'll come away with a bad interpretation which will force you to see contradictions in the text so we need to seek a harmony of the gospels that doesn't cause us to compromise the text when people say yeshua didn't eat passover at the last supper they're compromising the text which clearly tells us he did eat passover with his disciples that night and when people say he was crucified on wednesday they're compromising the text which clearly says he died on the preparation day for the sabbath which means he died on friday the idea that there were two sabbath days between the crucifixion and the resurrection is a manipulation of the text we clearly see in the gospels there's only one sabbath mentioned this man went to pilate and asked for the body of jesus then he took it down wrapped it in linen and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock where no one had live or lane before that day was a preparation day and the sabbath drew near and the women who had come with him from galilee followed after and they observed the tomb and how his body was laid then they returned to prepared spices and fragrant oils and they rested on the sabbath according to the commandment now on the first day of the week very early in the morning they and certain other women with them came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared we see here that they rested on the sabbath after his body was placed in the tomb and then the day after the sabbath on the first day of the week the women came to the empty tomb matthew confirms the same timeline on the next day which followed the day of preparation the chief priests and pharisees gathered together to pilot saying sir we remember while he was still alive how that deceiver said after three days i will rise therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day lest his disciples come by night and steal him away and they said to the people he has risen from the dead so the last deception will be worse than the first allah said to them you have a guard go your way make it as secure as you know how so they went and made the tomb secure sealing the stone and setting the guard now after the sabbath as the first day of the week began to dawn mary magdalene and the other mary came to see the tomb here we see that on saturday the sabbath the priests and pharisees came to pilate to ask that the tomb be guarded and the next day the day after the sabbath on the first day of the week the women came to the empty tomb mark also confirms the same timeline now when the sabbath was passed mary magdalene mary the mother of james and salome bought spices that they might come and anoint him very early in the morning on the first day of the week they came to the tomb when the sun had risen john also confirms the same timeline so there they lay jesus because of the jews preparation day for the tomb was nearby now on the first day of the week mary magdalene went to the tomb early while it was still dark and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb none of the gospels indicate that there was more than one sabbath day between the crucifixion and the resurrection they're all in agreement that yeshua died on the preparation day of the sabbath and he rose early sunday morning before the women came to the tomb on the first day of the week so the biblical timeline looks like this yeshua ate passover with his disciples on thursday the 14th at evening he was crucified on friday the 15th and buried before sunset they rested on the sabbath and returned to the tomb on sunday morning very early to find the empty tomb i hope this video has
