It is important to note that the estimated date, that Peter makes this important “Confession,” is Nisan 17 on the 364-day calendar. Nisan 17 is the date that the Ark comes to rest in the mountains of Ararat in 2457 BC.

This date is exactly 1,474 years after Israel makes first camp at Succoth, on the first day out of Egypt, starting the Exodus in 1445 BC. One year later after Peter’s Confession of Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” in 30 AD on the Gregorian-Hebrew solar calendar, this Nisan 17 date would be the Evening of the Resurrection.

Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:2-8
Martha Serves Supper & Mary Anoints Jesus’ Feet
This evening meal at the house of Simon the Leper in Bethany begins the events on Sunday on the Hebrew calendar. This event happens at the home of Simon the leper. It can be speculated that Simon may have been someone who had been healed by Jesus. Martha and Mary are apparently serving the meal for Simon. Mary, the sister of Lazarus, anoints the feet of Jesus according to John 12:3.

Matthew 26:7 and Mark 14:3 say that she anointed the head of Jesus. She used very costly fragrant oil and breaks the Alabaster flask according to Mark 14:3. According to the footnotes for Mark 14:5 in the MacArthur Study Bible, the oil was valued at about 300 denarii which would be about a year’s wages for a common laborer. It was apparently common to pay one denarii as a day’s wage.

The Alabaster flask containing the oil probably came from Egypt and would have also been very expensive. Many of the Disciples object to this extravagance led by the protest of Judas, the treasurer of the group.

Matthew 26:12-13 echoes the response of Jesus in Mark 14:8-9 when he says, “She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.

” Another woman anoints Jesus’ feet at a Pharisee’s house at a different time and location as recorded in Luke 7:36-39. On this occasion Jesus tells the Parable of the Two Debtors found in Luke 7:40-50.

The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
This event happens on Monday Nisan 10 on the Gregorian-Hebrew solar calendar and is often mistakenly called “Palm Sunday.” On the 364-day calendar, the date of this event is Monday, April 28 – Iyar 11 in 30 AD. This event on Nisan 10 of the solar calendar starts the Feast of Passover. On this day the Sacrificial Lamb is chosen to be sacrificed four days later.

On this day in 30 AD, Jesus would be hailed as a Prophet from Galilee (Matthew 21:11). On Friday, the Day of Passover just four days later, many of these same people would be saying “Crucify him” according to Mark 15:13-14, Luke 23:21, and John 19:15. On this same 364-day calendar Monday, Iyar 11 date in 1445 BC; God parts the Red Sea at PiHahiroth.

Four days after crossing the Red Sea, “on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt,” the nation of Israel makes camp in the Wilderness of Sin according to Exodus 16:1.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple in Jerusalem
Jesus had cleansed the Temple during Passover in the first year of His Public Ministry in 27 AD as recorded in John 2:14-17. It seems almost miraculous that no authority even attempted to stop Jesus from doing this “cleansing” on either occasion. On the first occasion his “authority” is questioned.

Jesus uses the second cleansing as a time to start two days of teaching and healing in the Temple. When Jesus cleanses the Temple he quotes the prophecies of Isaiah 56:7b and Jeremiah 7:11. Isaiah 56:7b reads, “For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all generation.

” Jeremiah 7:11 quotes God’s questioning rebuke to the nation of Israel, “Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the Lord.”

Jesus Teaches All Day in the Temple
After clearing out the moneychangers and other merchants from the Temple the day before, Jesus spends most of Wednesday teaching. Jesus basically has the Temple all to himself and uses His time to do a great deal of teaching. Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and His Authority is unsuccessfully challenged.

Jesus is critical of the Pharisee’s false traditions and sternly condemns them publically. Jesus teaches and explains many parables while displaying His clear Authority from God and His clear understanding of God’s Word. On this day the Messiah is the centerpiece on display in the Jerusalem Temple.

Matthew 26:14-19; Mark 14:10-16; Luke 22:3-13
Judas Plans to Betray Jesus while the Disciples Prepare Passover Meal in Upper Room The events associated with the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot and the preparation of the Last Supper meal are events that occur simultaneously on Thursday of Easter Week. The betrayal by Judas probably happens early in the daylight hours of Thursday Nisan 13 before Noon of that day.

Probably sometime after Noon, the disciples get directions about the evening Passover meal that we know as the Last Supper. On this day, the Passover Lamb is killed and prepared between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. before the start of the eight days of Passover starting on Nisan 14. It may have been a Galilean custom to celebrate the main Passover meal at the beginning of the Hebrew day at evening.

It appears that other Jews would celebrate the main Passover meal in the late afternoon of Nisan 14 near the end of the day. It is also possible that both meals were heavily celebrated on Nisan 14 Passover. In Mark 14:12, the disciples ask Jesus, “Where do you want us to go and prepare, that you may eat the Passover?”

When the disciples ask this question, it is still the daytime portion of Thursday and Nisan 13. Even though Nisan 14 will officially not start until 6:00 p.m. that evening, Nisan 14 is given as the date because the date in Scripture is given on the start of the Hebrew day at evening even though most of the day will actually occur the next day on a solar calendar.

Jesus Celebrates Last Passover Supper with Disciples The exact dating of the Passover meal, often referred to as the Last Supper, is critical to understanding the historic and theological implications of this event. At this point, in the discussion of the events of Easter Week, it may be helpful to elaborate on the connection of the Day of Preparation to the Feast of Unleavened Bread mentioned in John 19:14.

The footnotes in the MacArthur Study Bible related to Matthew 26:17 and Mark 14:12 are very helpful in sorting this out. There seems to be some confusion about the day of the week of the Last Supper and in some cases the day of the week of the Crucifixion.

I have heard more than one person say that the Last Supper and the time when Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsamane are events that occur on Thursday. Assuming the Last Supper events happened before midnight, a reasonable assumption, the day of the week would be Thursday only on a solar calendar that measures the days from midnight to midnight.

On a Hebrew calendar, these events are clearly on a Friday assuming the events happened after 6:00 p.m. which is also a reasonable assumption. Some historians have suggested that the Galileans celebrated Nisan 14 most heavily at the beginning of the Hebrew day at the evening start of Passover.

This would be the time of the events associated with the Last Supper. Others may have had their main Passover Feast at the end of the day ending around 3:00 p.m. at the time Jesus died on the Cross. After 3:00 p.m. on Nisan 14 is the time when Jews would begin preparation for the events of the week of Passover event called the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

This latter part of the day on Nisan 14 Passover is the time when all the food from the Passover meal is cleared out and no yeast or leavened products are allowed to remain in the home. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is also called “Passover week” and goes for seven days from Nisan 15 through Nisan 21.

From this clearly stated Friday Nisan 14 Passover date of the Crucifixion of Jesus, all of Earth’s history can be accurately measured and dated on any calendar that is computer connected using the Julian Day Number of 1,732,111.75.

Jesus Is Crucified On Passover
The Crucifixion of Jesus, on the Nisan 14 Passover date in 30 AD, is probably the most important calendar date in history connecting the non-solar 364-day calendar of the Old Testament and the solar calendars in use today. Obviously, the theological significance of what happened on this day is of much greater importance than the precise monumental mathematical implications found in the Biblical text of both the New and Old Testament.

There are numerous books, commentaries and films that accurately portray the event of the Crucifixion of Jesus as the clearest example of God’s loving grace in providing an acceptable “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” according to John 1:29. In this part of the Bible Timeline research, the author wishes to focus attention on some aspects of this important day in history that are often overlooked.
For example, it is very clear from Scripture that there is a three hour period of darkness between noon and 3:00 p.m. during the event of the Crucifixion that is mentioned in three of the four Gospels. The historians Thallus (around 52 BC), Phlegon (around 137 AD), and Africanus (around 221 AD) make reference to a three hour period of darkness during the 19th year of Tiberius in 30 AD.

They attempt to claim it was some unusual form of solar eclipse that lasted about three hours. They recognized this was a difficult explanation since the moon is opposite the sun during the Nisan 14-Passover on April 5 in 30 AD on the Gregorian calendar.

Phlegon writes that there was, “the greatest eclipse of the sun and that it became night in the sixth hour of the day (i.e., noon) so that the stars even appeared in the heavens. There was a great earthquake in Bithynia, and many things overturned in Nicaea.” This was clearly not explained by the sun being covered up by the moon or clouds.

The sun is clearly not in the sky for about a three hour period of time. Africanus also recognized that there was no logical link between an eclipse, an earthquake, the tearing of the Temple Veil, and the bodily resurrections described in Matthew 27:51-54, Mark 15:38-39, and Luke 23:44-47. The earthquake and other events seem to be a direct fulfillment of Amos 8:8-9 even though a large earthquake happened a few years later according to Amos 1:1 and Zechariah 14:5.
The events following the death of Jesus are a very clear commentary by God on the events of that day. Clearly the World was put in the darkness of God’s Judgment. The statement by Jesus, shortly before His death, that “it is finished” is a statement much like a stamp on a receipt that reads, “Paid in Full.” The penalty for Sin had been completely satisfied and no more sacrifices would be needed.

The events recorded after His death is a preview of a future Day of Judgment. The bodily resurrections of others on Sunday, besides Jesus, are a preview of coming attractions of a Day of Judgment followed by an eternal bodily Resurrection for those who recognize Jesus as Lord and Savior.
The Friday, May 2 – Iyar 15 date of the Crucifixion in 30 AD is exactly 1474 years after Israel arrives at the Wilderness of Sin on this same date in 1445 BC as recorded in Exodus 16:1. This date in 1445 is just four days after the Crossing of the Red Sea.

Two days after this date in 1445 BC, on Sunday May 4 – Iyar 17, Israel would eat the first Manna from Heaven as recorded in Exodus 16:13-21. It is also important to note that the same Hebrew dates in 30 AD happen two days apart going from Nisan 14 on the Gregorian-Hebrew calendar to Nisan 16 on the Hebrew secular calendar. In like manner, the same date in 30 AD on the Gregorian calendar is two days later on the Julian calendar.

The Resurrection of Jesus
The Resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in human history. On this date, the Age of Salvation begins. There is forgiveness of the eternal penalty for Sin and Death has lost its sting. The numerous promises of the coming Messiah, beginning with “He shall bruise your head” in Genesis 3:15, and repeated though Israel’s Prophets and Patriarchs, have now been fulfilled. This event happens exactly 1474 years after the morning of the first Manna from Heaven, during the Exodus, recorded in Exodus 16:13-21.
