Friday Aviv 15 Afternoon
Joe Viel:
Let's take a
look at some of the events in detail that occured when He died. It's clear He
died on Aviv 14.
|
Wednesday Night, Aviv 14 |
Y'shua celebrates Last Supper with His disciples. |
|
Thursday Morning, Aviv 14 |
Y'shua tried by Pilate, sentenced, sent to |
|
Thursday 12noon to 3 pm |
Y'shua hung on cross. Darkness covered land at noon until He
died at 3pm. |
|
Thursday Afternoon 3pm to sunset, Aviv 14 |
Yochanan / John 19:39-40 says, "Nicodemus brought a mixture
of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Y'shua' body, the two of them
[Nicodemus and Joseph] wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This
was in accordance with Jewish burial customs." Now this raises the
question, why did the women prepare other spices for Y'shua's body? Did
Nicodemus not do everything? Did he not use the entire set of mixes that was
part of the custom? Maybe he couldn't carry it all by himself - 75 litras is
about 56 pounds and I'm not sure how far he had carry those 56 pounds. The women
must have known what Nicodemus did for it says in Luke 23:55 that, "The
women who had come with Y'shua from Luke 23:56
says, "Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they
rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment." This probably
refers to what they did Thursday afternoon, while it was still Aviv 14, using
either spices they had at home or maybe spices they obtained from Nicodemus
of what he had left over or from a friend. But this may have been a partial
effort as well, since apparently they had to go out and buy more later on.
Maybe they discovered they didn't have all the spices they needed. Maybe they
ran out of time to do it all and had to stop before they were finished. The
"spices and perfumes" here are "aromata" and
"myrrhs". Nicodemus brought Myrrh and aloes. Maybe he gave them
what he had left over. |
|
Thursday Night, Aviv 15 |
High Sabbath - First day of Unleavened Bread Y'shua
in tomb, disciples rested, most Pharisaic Jews celebrate Passover. |
|
Friday Day Aviv 15 |
Day of High Sabbath. When High Sabbath Ends, regular weekly
Sabbath begins |
|
Friday Night Aviv 16 |
Regular Weekly Sabbath Begins |
|
Saturday Day Aviv 16 |
Weekly Sabbath ends at Sundown |
|
Saturday Night Aviv 17 |
Matt 28:1 says, "At the end of the Sabbaths (plural, not
singular)" Thus Matt 28:1 is talking about the two Sabbaths that
happened back-to-back. The KJV mistranslates this as "Sabbath". The
word here can mean "Sabbaths" or "Week" or
"Sevens" or "High Sabbath" but only "Sabbaths"
make sense given the translation, so the KJV probably errored here. The KJV
may have been colored by the idea of a Friday crucifixion and they may have
disgarded the plural nature of it as not making sense to them due to Catholic
tradition. Now had it said "Sabbath" [singular] that would still
have been correct, but the plural reference provides more detail. In Mark 16
it says, "As the Sabbath was ending" the two Mary's "bought
spices so they might go to annoint Y'shua' body." This could have been
done Saturday evening. They could have bought some spices from a next door
neighbor, friend, what Nicodemus had back at his house, etc. It does not say
they went to the marketplace, so there's no requirement that any shops be
open. It does
not say they prepared these spices. Maybe they didn't. Maybe this third set
of spices being dealt with was already mixed/ready. Or maybe they did more
work. We don't know. Here it mentions "aromata" but no
"myrrh". Maybe they got all the myrrh they needed from Nicodemus
when they saw him Thursday and were only short on the "aromata".
But then again "aromata" is a rather generic term that could
include the "myrrh" as well. So the
Bible may be recording 3 separate partial efforts to prepare spices for the
body of Y'shua, and each effort is duely noted and recorded separately. And what
the women were too late to do may have already been done by another woman in
Mark 14:3-9 who annointed Him BEFORE His death. |
|
At “orthou batheos” or the crack of dawn, Aviv 17 |
Luke 24:1 tells us the two Mary's found the tomb empty at
"orthrou batheos". |
|
Sunday Day, Aviv 17 |
Y'shua appears to all the disciples. |

GE:
Here has
been Joe Viel’s most fatal
attraction to assert:
“Luke 23:56 says, "Then they went home and prepared
spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the
commandment." This
probably refers to what they did Thursday
afternoon, while it was still
Aviv 14 .....” Emphasis GE
We take
the chronological sequence of both the
days and dates and “events that occurred
.....” and try to work out the exclusively
Scriptural, temporal and historical
correlation between them, “when”
Jesus was ....
1)
crucified, 2) buried, 3) resurrected and 4) appeared : in that order.
1a) “Wednesday Night Aviv 14 : Last Supper ....”;
1b) “Thursday morning Aviv 14 : Y'shua tried by Pilate, sentenced, sent to

3c) “Saturday Night Aviv 17 : Matt 28:1 says, “At

GE:
With a
quick glance through the above I have noticed
1) the absence
in Joe Viel’s summary of Friday
afternoon;
2) the dominance
of just about all the old and usual obfuscations
of the
chronology and sequence of days and events at the Passover of our Saviour Lord
Jesus Christ.
Joe Viel:
(1a) “Wednesday Night, Aviv 14
Y'shua celebrates Last
Supper with His disciples.”
GE:
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures,
Mk14:12/17; Mt26:17/20; Lk22:7/14; Jn13:1/29, 1Cor11:23b.
But, where are
all the events of the past night after,
“Wednesday Night, Aviv 14 : Y'shua
celebrates Last Supper with His disciples” and before, “Y'shua tried by Pilate”?
Joe Viel:
(1b) “Thursday Morning, Aviv
14
Y'shua tried by Pilate,
sentenced, sent to
GE:
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:1/Mt27:1/Lk23:1/Jn19:14
Joe Viel:
(1c) “Thursday 12noon-3pm,
Aviv 14
Y'shua hung on cross.
Darkness covered land at noon until He died at 3pm.”
GE:
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:37–41; Mk27:50–56; Lk23:44–49; Jn19:28–30.
But, what
happened AFTER “Thursday 12noon-3pm,
Aviv 14
Y'shua hung on cross.
Darkness covered land at noon until He died at 3pm.”?
The chaotic scene of the cross and Jesus’ death was
DESERTED by ALL;
because HERE is found the LATE NOON AND MID–AFTERNOON
of the FIRST of the “three days”, “according to the Scriptures”
ENDING, LATE NOON AND MID–AFTERNOON of
the FIRST of the “three days” STILL, UNTIL sunset 6pm. and
“Suddenly a man named Joseph ....” (Lk23:50),
contrary Joe
Viel: “Thursday Afternoon 3pm to sunset, Aviv 14 ..... John 19:39-40 says, "Nicodemus brought a mixture of
myrrh”
Joe Viel:
(1d) “Thursday Afternoon 3pm

GE:
DENIED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:42/Mt27:57, Lk23:50–51, Jn19:31/38, 1Cor11:23b.
For HERE BEGINS the SECOND of the “three days”, “according
to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures – the day whereon
Joseph WOULD BURY the body of Jesus.
Joe
Viel:
“Thursday Afternoon
3pm to sunset, Aviv 14
Yochanan / John 19:39-40
says, "Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds.
Taking Y'shua' body, the two of them [Nicodemus and Joseph] wrapped it, with
the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial
customs." .........”
GE:
DENIED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:42/Mt27:57, Lk23:50–51, Jn19:31/38, 1Cor11:23b, because
“Nicodemus” or “the two men” acted not “afternoon”, but, “evening” and “night”,
after sunset;
and,
DENIED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:43–46a; Mt27:58–59; Lk23:52–53a; Jn19:31b–40,
1Cor11:23b.
For HERE is the NIGHT
of the SECOND of the “three days”,
“according to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures –
wherein Joseph begged the body, and according to
the law of the Jews – the passover’s law (Ex12, Lv23) –
undertook and prepared to bury Jesus.
Joe Viel:
“Now this raises the
question, why did the women prepare other spices for Y'shua's body? Did
Nicodemus not do everything? Did he not use the entire set of mixes that was
part of the custom? Maybe he couldn't carry it all by himself - 75 litras is
about 56 pounds and I'm not sure how far he had carry those 56 pounds.”
GE:
To clarify:
John says Nicodemus
brought those spices to where Joseph already was busy preparing the body for “treatment
.... according to the custom / law of the Jews” – the passover-instructions
according to Ex 12-14 and Lv23. Whatever
we say more, we say more than the Gospels say.
Joe Viel:
“The women must have known what Nicodemus did for it says in
Luke 23:55 that, "The women who had come with Y'shua from
GE:
To clarify:
Those two women were
the two Marys. No other women joined. Only
they are mentioned or referred, Mk15:47, Mt27:61, Lk23:55 / 24:24. Only they were
present. No other men, either, than Joseph and Nicodemus knew because they
only are mentioned; only they were present; only they, “prepared / handled the
body”, and only they, and the two women, buried Jesus.
Totally a different picture and personae than on
the afternoon before— the afternoon
of the death and forsaking of the Lord, Lk23:48c.
Joe Viel:
“So yes, they didn't come back .....”
GE:
To clarify:
In fact, it says in
Mark 15:46c, Joseph “rolled a stone in the door of the sepulchre”, and
in Mt27:61c, Joseph “departed”, and in Luke 23:56a, the women, “went home, and prepared
spices and ointments”.
So yes, the women “left”, and “everybody left” (Lk23:48c-49a), and neither ‘came back’ again. That was after “the ninth hour”, Mk15:34a, “Thursday Afternoon ..... Aviv 14”.
Nobody came back .... not until it was “Thursday Afternoon ..... Aviv 14” NO
MORE, and “Evening already it was, The Preparation
Day which is the Fore-Sabbath” .... “when suddenly a man named Joseph
....”. Mk15:42, Lk23:50.
It says in Lk23:54,
“and that day was
the Day of Preparation still”
– ‘epefohsken’ :
‘epi’ (‘midst-over’) + ‘phohs’ (‘light-day’) + ‘(k)en’ (‘was’)” – “midst-over
lightday-was” = “mid-afternoon”,
“towards the
Sabbath” (‘eis sabbaton’), Imperfect,
literally,
“mid-afternoon
still”, the same time of day
John stipulates in
19:42, where it says exactly,
“by the time of
the Jew’s preparations”
for the pending
Sabbath Day (3 pm to 6 pm).
So yes, the women left, and the men left, and neither again ‘came
back’ again until after, “They (had) rested the Sabbath according to the
(Fourth) Commandment.” (Lk23:56b)
Because the women, according
to Luke 23:56a, after they had their
preparations done, according to Lk23:56b “began to rest (Ingressive
Aorist, ‘hehsyxasan’) the Sabbath Day according to the Commandment” ---
the Sabbath-Law, the Fourth Commandment of the Decalogue— ‘kata tehn entolehn’, the ‘Moral Law’. Not,
‘ho nomos’ ‘law’ of the unusual, ‘ceremonial’, ‘sabbaths’ like the just before
sunset, past, passover’s “great day sabbath”.
But this was the day after the
day Jesus was crucified and died on!
This,
was not “Thursday Afternoon 3pm to sunset, Aviv 14”;
this
was ‘Friday day’ = ‘Friday’ “afternoon” = ‘3 pm to sunset’ Aviv 15 —
for
which Joe Viel has made no provision
or space, nor gives account of, in his total scheme of hours, days or dates!
Joe Viel:
“So yes, they didn't come back because they weren't aware
Nicodemus had already done this.”
GE:
To clarify:
The women weren’t “near
the place where He was crucified”
again from after the crucifixion until they “followed after” as
the two men must have carried the body to, and into the tomb, and the two
women, “sat down over
against the grave and looked on how the body was laid.” They knew nothing of the men’s undertaking
until such time as they must have been called upon by them to come and “follow
after” in the procession to the sepulchre from the place where the two men
had prepared the body.
Again, this, a totally
different picture than at the cross while and after Jesus died.
Joe Viel:
“They saw
what Nicodemus did. .....”
GE:
Therefore denied!
The women did not
even know what Nicodemus did. Joseph
and Nicodemus had had the body prepared for the tomb before the women got
there.
Joe Viel:
“Thursday Afternoon
3pm to sunset, Aviv 14
Yochanan / John 19:39-40 says, "Nicodemus
brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Y'shua' body, the
two of them [Nicodemus and Joseph] wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of
linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs"” –
GE:
Therefore once again DENIED:
DENIED as far as time of day is concerned, and therefore
DENIED as far as date of day, is concerned.
DENIED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:46b–47; Mk27:60–61; Lk23:53b–56a; JN19:41–42.
For HERE is
the LATE NOON AND MID–AFTERNOON of the SECOND of the “three
days”, “according to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures – when
Joseph and Nicodemus had laid the body and had closed the tomb; and men
and women together left for home, so that HERE is found day’s
ending from 3 pm. until sunset while
..... as Joe Viel quoted, “Luke 23:56 says, "Then they
went home and prepared spices and perfumes”— the equivalent time of day and afternoon found in Jn19:42, of Sabbath’s “preparations”
.... three hours left for “the
Jews’ preparations”, and before day’s end with sunset— end of the Sixth Day
“That was The Preparation Day and mid-afternoon the Sabbath was pending”,
(‘sabbaton epefohsken’).
Joe Viel:
“But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the
commandment." This probably refers to what they did Thursday afternoon,
while it was still Aviv 14, .....”
GE:
DENIED again, by these Scriptures,
Mk15:46b–47; Mk27:60–61; Lk23:53b–56a; JN19:41–42.
For HERE is
the LATE NOON AND MID–AFTERNOON of the SECOND of the “three
days”, “according to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures – when
Joseph and Nicodemus had laid the body and had closed the tomb; and men
and women together left for home, so that HERE is found day’s

..... as Joe Viel quoted, “Luke 23:56 says,
"Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes”— the equivalent time of day and afternoon
found in Jn19:42, of Sabbath’s preparations .... three hours left of, before day’s end with sunset!
Joe Viel:
“..... using either spices they had at home or maybe spices
they obtained from Nicodemus of what he had left over or from a friend. But
this may have been a partial effort as well, since apparently they had to go
out and buy more later on. Maybe they discovered they didn't have all the
spices they needed. Maybe they ran out of time to do it all and had to stop
before they were finished. The "spices and perfumes" here are
"aromata" and "myrrhs". Nicodemus brought Myrrh and aloes.
Maybe he gave them what he had left over.”

To clarify:
Unnecessary
side-issues ..... (before I say too much and get into trouble with Joe Viel
again.)
Joe Viel:
“Thursday Night, Aviv 15
High Sabbath - First day
of Unleavened Bread .....”
GE:
CONFIRMED:
This time,
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures,
Mk15:42/Mt27:57, Lk23:50–51, Jn19:31/38, 1Cor11:23b.
For HERE BEGINS the SECOND of the “three days”, “according
to the Scriptures” – the passover–Scriptures – the day whereon
Joseph WOULD BURY the body of Jesus.
Joe Viel:
“Thursday Night,
Aviv 15 High Sabbath - First day of Unleavened Bread”
GE:
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures,
without interruption
upon which followed, NOT,
“Thursday Afternoon 3pm to sunset, Aviv 14”, BUT,
“Now being
evening The Preparation Day that IS the Fore-Sabbath”,
Mk15:42, John 19:31
saying,
“since it was The
Preparation Day being that great day sabbath”,
of the passover of
course : simultaneously— when first,
“The Jews .... and after these things
(of the Jews), Joseph ....”
verses 31 and 38 in
chronological as well as contextual order,
38 following after
31, in the night and beginning part of
The Preparation Day
and “Thursday
Night, Aviv 15
High Sabbath - First day of
Unleavened Bread ........ Yochanan / John 19:39-40 says, "Nicodemus
brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Y'shua' body, the
two of them [Nicodemus and Joseph] wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of
linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs."”
Joe Viel:
“Thursday
Night, Aviv 15 : High Sabbath - First day of Unleavened Bread ..... most
Pharisaic Jews having celebrated
Passover”.
GE:
...... by
now.
Confirmed by these Scriptures – the
passover Scriptures –
Jn18:28 x 19:31.
Joe Viel:
“Thursday Afternoon
3pm to sunset, Aviv 14 .... Yochanan / John 19:39-40 says,
"Nicodemus brought ..... Now this ..... in Luke 23:55 ..... "The women ..... saw
the tomb and how his body was laid in it." ..... Luke 23:56 says, "Then they went home and prepared
spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the
commandment." This
probably refers to what they did Thursday afternoon,
while it was still Aviv 14 .....” Emphasis GE
GE:
Denied!
Why, denied?
Because these
Scriptures CONFIRM:
“Thursday
NIGHT,” AFTER sunset 6 pm,
Mk15:43–46a; Mt27:58–59; Lk23:52–53a; Jn19:31b–40—
“evening having come already” (Mk15:42a),
“since it was The Preparation” (Jn19:31a),
“and since that day was a great day sabbath”
(Jn19:31b),
“because it was the Preparation” (Mk15:42b),
“which IS the Fore-Sabbath” (Mk15:42c),
“John
19:39-40 says, "Nicodemus brought .........””.
Because CONFIRMED by these Scriptures is
the fact that
HERE is the NIGHT of the SECOND
of the “three days”, “according to the Scriptures” – the
passover–Scriptures – Abib 15,
wherein Joseph begged the body, and
“according to the law / custom of the Jews” – the passover’s law –
had undertaken to prepare to bury Jesus.
BY THEN
“it was” but “High Sabbath -
First day of Unleavened Bread” “having begun”— the while Jesus’
body still hung on the cross, and
Joseph was about to request for the
body.
Joe Viel:
at this point in time saying:
“Luke 23:56 says, "Then they went home and prepared
spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the
commandment." This
probably refers to what they did Thursday
afternoon, while it was still
Aviv 14 .....” Emphasis GE
GE:
Therefore DENIED indeed:
This probably
refers to what they did Thursday afternoon, while it was still
Aviv 14 .....”
..... because,
“This” – “Luke 23:56” – was the next “afternoon” – “mid-afternoon” in fact – while it still was
Aviv 15, “while still the Sabbath was approaching”.
Indeed DENIED,
as by these Scriptures it is CONFIRMED:
the Thursday NIGHT
AFTER sunset 6 pm,
Mk15:43–46a; Mt27:58–59; Lk23:52–53a; Jn19:31b–40—
“evening having come
already” (Mk15:42a),
“since it was The
Preparation” (Jn19:31a),
“and since that day
was a great day sabbath” (Jn19:31b),
“because it was the
Preparation” (Mk15:42b),
“which IS the Fore-Sabbath” (Mk15:42c),
Aviv 15 in fact HAD HAD BEGUN, and
HERE is seen the NIGHT of the SECOND
of the “three days”, “according to the Scriptures” – the
passover–Scriptures – Abib 15,
BEGINNING, wherein Joseph begged the body, and
“according to the law / custom of the Jews” – the passover’s law –
had undertaken to prepare to bury Jesus .....
These Scriptures every one, are that, that DENY and contradict Joe Viel, having said,
“Y'shua in tomb, disciples rested ....” “This
time .... ”,
“Thursday
Afternoon 3pm to sunset, Aviv 14”.
GE:
DENIED because Jesus’ body then still
hang on the cross, and “it having become already” ..... “Friday Day Aviv 15 .... Day of High Sabbath” (Joe Viel).
Joe Viel:
“Thursday Night, Aviv 15, High
Sabbath - First day of Unleavened Bread: Y'shua in tomb .....”
Emphasis GE
GE:
DENIED — again— (fourth time?)
Friday,
“mid afternoon towards the Sabbath”, Lk23:54, Aviv 15,
“great
day sabbath”, Jn19:31, on “First day of
Unleavened Bread”,
Jesus was in the
tomb for the
first time!
Joseph
only began to undertake to obtain the body in order to
prepare
it in order to bury it, “Thursday Night, Aviv 15, High
Sabbath - First day of Unleavened Bread”.
Joe Viel:
“When High Sabbath Ends,
regular weekly Sabbath begins.”
“Saturday Day Aviv 16 : Weekly Sabbath ends at Sundown”
GE:
CONFIRMED by these Scriptures:
Mk16:1, “When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary of James and Salome, bought spices so that when they would go, they may anoint Him”;
Jn20:1, “Being early darkness still (‘proh-i skotia eti ousehs’), comes Mary to the tomb and sees the stone taken away from (it).”
Three Days and Three Nights
All these Scriptures are in PERFECT AGREEMENT in every
respect :
And yes, they have everything to do with the “three days prophecy”
BECAUSE :

Mt28:11–15 Guard to high priests.
USE BIBLES OF BEFORE THE TWENTIETH CENTURY – they are not as wangled as the later ones. And compare those ancient translations with the modern ones to see the truth of the older ones!
Objection:
“The same verse you earlier used to assert that He resurrected on the Sabbath, can also be used to assert that He resurrected on Sunday!”
Answer:
If the verse you have in mind is Mt28:1, it CANNOT “also be used to assert that He resurrected on Sunday!”
1) BECAUSE of all the reasons I have already given from ALL the Scriptures;
2) BECAUSE of its ONLY CORRECT literal meaning:
“opse de” and in fullness / late on / in
“sabbatohn” of the Sabbath
(“sabbatohn”) the Sabbath’s / Sabbath’s–time’s
“tehi” in the
“epi” very / midst
“phohs” light / daylight / (noon)
“ousehi” in the being
“eis” towards / before / tending / against
“mian (hehmeran) sabbatohn” Acc=excluded First (Day) of the week.
3) Precisely as used in Lk23:54 for Friday “mid–afternoon before the Sabbath”.
4) BECAUSE of the Exodus and Leviticus passover instructions concerning Abib 14, 14, and 16.
5) BECAUSE of Mt12:40 and “three days AND three nights”.
THEREFORE:
1) Fifth Day : Wednesday night and Thursday day ––– Abib 14, Remove leaven and slaughter lamb;
2) Sixth Day / “the Preparation WHICH IS the Fore-sabbath” : Thursday night and Friday day ––– Abib 15, “that which remaineth” carried out and burned (interred);
3) Seventh Day Sabbath “according to the (Fourth) Commandment” : Friday night and Sabbath, day ––– Abib 16, “First Sheaf Wave Offering Before the LORD”.
