EVENTS OF THURSDAY NISAN 14 A.D. - [EARLY NIGHT]

DISCIPLES MAKE PREPARATION FOR THE PASSOVER 

In Matthew 26:17-19, we read:

 Now the FIRST DAY of the feast of unleavened bread

[Note - It was close to the end of Wednesday Nisan 13 evening and the start of Thursday, Nisan 14 night] the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover. And he said, 

"Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples."

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. Now when the even was come, [the end of Wednesday, Nisan 13 evening and beginning of Nisan 14 night], he sat down with the twelve. 

In Mark 14:12-16, we read: And the FIRST DAY of unleavened bread WHEN THEY KILLED THE PASSOVER,  

[NOTE - It was the end of Wednesday Nisan 13 evening and the start of Nisan 14 night … the Jewish Passover lambs were ALWAYS killed during the late afternoon and early evening of Nisan 14 in preparation of the Nisan 15 Feast of Unleavened Bread meal.] 

his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Passover? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, 

"Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us." 

And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover. 

In Luke 22:7-13, we read:

Then came the DAY OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, when the Passover [lamb] MUST BE KILLED, 

[NOTE - It was the end of Wednesday Nisan 13 evening and the start of Nisan 14 night … the Jewish Passover lambs were ALWAYS killed during the late afternoon and early evening of Nisan 14 in preparation of the Nisan 15 Feast of Unleavened Bread meal.] 

And he sent Peter and John, saying,  

"Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat." 

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them,  

"Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready." 

And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.  

In John 13:1-2, we read: 

“Now BEFORE the FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end And supper being ended…” 

At the end of the Wednesday evening of Nisan 13, and at the beginning of the Thursday Nisan 14 ‘night’ (please remember that night time hours come before daylight hours in the Jewish day) the apostles went about preparing food for a meal that was NOT the authentic Passover meal. The Passover meal would be eaten by the whole congregation of the Jews on the night of Friday, Nisan 15 which was the Jewish Feast of Unleavened Bread. - That meal would consist of the roasted Passover lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs (Exodus 12:8) and it would be eaten by the Jewish people AFTER Jesus Christ was already crucified and laying in the tomb. 

The meal being prepared by the apostles (and being referred to as “prepare us the Passover”, “eat the Passover”, and “make ready the Passover” in the above Scripture verses) was actually a SPECIAL MEAL that had been added to the Passover rituals for the GALILEAN JEWS to prepare and to eat on the night of Nisan 14. Therefore, this ‘special meal’ was still called “Passover”. because it was eaten on the EARLY NIGHT of Nisan 14 which is called the ‘Feast of Passover’ according to Leviticus 23:5:

“In the FOURTEENTH DAY of the first month [Nisan] at even [just before sunset] is the LORD'S PASSOVER.”  

The “Feast of Unleavened Bread” was also called the “Passover” according to Luke 22:1, 

“Now the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD [Nisan 15] drew nigh, which is called the Passover.”  

Luke 22:1 reveals to us that the word “PASSOVER” is interchangeable for all of the Passover rituals, including the special “ritual meal” that was eaten on the night of Nisan 14 by Jesus and His twelve apostles. 

THE SEUDAH MAPHSEHKET  

Now, according to the Jewish “Mishnah”, the Galilean Jews were commanded to observe a special meal on the night of Nisan 14 called the “Seudah Maphsehket”.  

Orthodox Jewish scholars believe that together with the giving of the Written Law on Mount Sinai — the Pentateuch — there was also given an "Oral Law" and the Jews call that "Oral Law" the "Mishnah" . . . they have included the "Oral Law" along with the "Written Law" in what is called the Torah. 

So what is the “Seudah Maphsehket” meal? 

Jesus and his disciples were Galileans and they were commanded to observe the Galilean festival traditions (it would have been unthinkable for them to do otherwise). -- However, the JUDEANS (the Jews living around Jerusalem) did not recognize the addition of the “Seudah Maphsehket” that BOTH the Galileans and the Samaritans had added to the Passover rituals, and therefore they did not participate in the meal that was in existence at the time of Christ’s ‘Last Supper’ meal with His disciples. 

The memorial meal called “Seudah Maphsehket” was to be eaten when the Jewish day was changing over from NISAN 13 evening to NISAN 14 night. This memorial meal was instituted by the Jewish Galileans and Samaritans to put emphasis on the FIRSTBORNS of the Exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt. – It was to bring to mind that it was the FIRSTBORN of the Jewish people that were saved and protected, and that it was the FIRSTBORN of the Egyptians that were killed. 

The Jewish Galileans and Samaritans declared that Nisan 14 (the “day of preparation” for the “Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread” that would be eaten on the night of Nisan 15) was to be a “DAY OF FASTING” for all the firstborn sons of each Jewish family in honor of the LORD saving their lives. So, the firstborn sons of the Galileans and Samaritans would have their "Seudah Maphsehket" meal 'to begin the Passover season' on the EARLY NIGHT of Nisan 14, right AFTER sunset of Wednesday Nisan 13. —These Galileans and Samaritans would then fast after the meal until the “Passover and Unleavened Bread” meal was eaten by ALL Jewish people worldwide with the roasted Passover Lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs after sunset of Nisan 14 and the beginning of the early night of Nisan 15. 

This memorial meal called “Seudah Maphsehket” is not conjecture or some new modern interpretation of the Passover. This meal occurs before a fast that is clearly found in the Jewish Mishnah and that is recognized by the Jewish people. The fast day is also found on Jewish calendars and the name of the fast is “Ta’anit B’khorim”. -- And what is really interesting is that “Seudah Maphsehket” meal translated into English means… “THE LAST SUPPER”. – Why? – Because it was the ‘last supper’ that was eaten before the fast began and before partaking of the “Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread“ meal on the EARLY NIGHT of Nisan 15. 

The following quote helps to bring some clarity to our understanding of the “Fast of the First Born” (“Ta’anit B’khorim”): 

[BEGIN QUOTE] It is an ancient and widespread custom for the firstborn to fast on the day before Passover. This commemorates the miracle which spared the firstborn Jewish sons from the plague which struck down the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. By right, this fast should be held on the anniversary of the day on which the miracle occurred: on the night of the fifteenth of Nissan. However, since the fifteenth is already Passover, and we do not fast on Festival days the fast is pushed back to the fourteenth. 

There is an additional reason why we fast specifically on the fourteenth. The firstborn of the Jews were saved in Egypt because they humbled themselves before G_d, admitting and declaring that all greatness, power, and sovereignty are His alone. This stood in contradistinction to the Egyptians who, filled with foolish pride and egotism, declared: "I am, and besides me there is none other." Thus, the fast on the [night of the] fourteenth of Nissan commemorates the fact that the firstborn of Israel humbled themselves on that day and accepted the yoke of G_d's sovereignty. Abstention from food and drink is a sign of a heart subdued before G_ d.

There are different customs that are associated with this fast. Some maintain that every firstborn, male and female, whether the firstborn is that of the mother or of the father, must fast. If there are no children, then the oldest member of the household must fast. They base this on the fact that there was no Egyptian household that was spared from the plague, every household in Egypt was struck whether there was a firstborn son or not. We commemorate, therefore, that all of the Jewish households were miraculously spared. Others maintain that the obligation to fast applies only to firstborn males. . . . . This fast is treated leniently. Thus, if there is a festive meal held that is connected with a mitzvah, for example, the celebration of a circumcision or of a siyum (the completion of a tractate of the Talmud) the firstborn son participates in the meal rather than fasting. [END QUOTE] 

The meal that Jesus Christ and His twelve apostles were eating on the night of Nisan 14 was NOT a Passover meal in respect to its being a meal of a Passover lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs that would be eaten on the next night (Nisan 15) by all of the Jewish people on the “Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread”. The meal that Jesus Christ and His apostles ate was a “Seudah Maphsehket” (“last supper”) in that it was a last meal eaten by the Jewish Galileans and Samaritans on the night of Nisan 14 before the “Fast of the First Born” (“Ta’anit B’khorim”). This meal (“Seudah Maphsehket”) was eaten by the Jewish Galileans and Samaritans at the exact same time that Jesus ate a ‘last supper meal’ with His twelve apostles – after the sunset of Wednesday, Nisan 13 which was the night of Thursday, Nisan 14 (the beginning of the Jewish day of Nisan 14). 

There is a great deal of Biblical proof that Jesus and His disciples DID NOT EAT the regular Passover meal of a Passover lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs on the night of Nisan 14 during their ‘last supper’ meal. The following is one proof found in the Holy Scripture. 

In John 13:21-30, we read the following: 

"Verily [truly], verily [truly], I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." 

Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, 

"He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it." 

And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him,  

"That thou doest, do quickly." 

Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against [for] the feast [of Passover and Unleavened Bread]; or, that he should give something to the poor. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night [it was Thursday, Nisan 14 night] 

According to John 13:2, the “last supper meal” that Jesus had been eating with His twelve apostles had ended on that Thursday night, Nisan 14. Jesus then tells all twelve of the apostles that one of them is going to betray Him. Apostle Peter tells John to ask Jesus who it is that is going to betray Him. Jesus now singles out the person who is going to betray Him by dipping a sop and then giving it to Judas Iscariot. Then Jesus said to Judas Iscariot, “That thou doest, do quickly.” – Some of the apostles thought that being Judas carried the ‘bag of money’ used to purchase items for the twelve, that Jesus had said to Judas…”Buy those things that we have need of FOR THE FEAST”. 

Now, if the apostles were NOT eating the authentic “Feast of  Unleavened Bread meal” of Passover lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs, (which they were not) then the only “FEAST” that Judas Iscariot could possibly buy needed items for would have been items needed for the authentic “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread meal” which was to take place on the VERY NEXT NIGHT (Nisan 15). – 

Now, if this were an authentic ‘Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover Lamb meal’ that Jesus and His twelve apostles were eating at His “last supper” (which it was not) then it would have been IMPOSSIBLE for Judas Iscariot to purchase any items that night, or during the following daytime hours, because it would have already been a “High Day Sabbath” (John 19:31) and all of the stores and shops would be closed. 

JUDAS ISCARIOT BETRAYS JESUS FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER 

When Judas Iscariot left the “last supper” meal on the night of Thursday, Nisan 14, 32 A.D., he went out and got in contact with the chief priests of the Jews in order that he may betray Jesus to them for arrest. 

In Matthew 26:14-16, we read:

“Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.”  

In Mark 14:10-11, we read: 

“And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.” 

In Luke 22:1-6, we read: 

“Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.  

[This verse clearly states that the ‘Nisan 15 Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread’ meal had not yet been eaten at the time that the ‘last supper’ meal, the “Seudah Maphsehket” meal, took place]. 

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way [he left from the last supper], and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.” 

MORE PROOFS THAT THE ‘LAST SUPPER’ WAS NOT THE ‘FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD WITH THE PASSOVER LAMB’  

Passover Lamb Meal

In the Book of John, we find numerous ‘proof verses’ that Jesus and His apostles DID NOT EAT an authentic “Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover Lamb” meal during their ‘last supper’, (“Seudah Maphsehket” ) that they shared together. 

Before I share ‘proof verses’, it is important for you to remember that Thursday, Nisan 14 was considered to be the “DAY OF PREPARATION” for the “Feast of Unleavened Bread” meal that COULD NOT be observed by the Jewish people until the EARLY NIGHT hours of Nisan 15 [right after the sunset of Nisan 14] which happened to be on FRIDAY in the Passover Week in which Jesus Christ was crucified,

The ‘DAY OF PREPARATION’ (Nisan 14) was the day when the Israelites searched their homes and removed all the leaven, and ALL the leavened items, from their homes as commanded by God in Exodus 12:18-20: 

“In the first month [Nisan], on the fourteenth day of the month at even [at the close of the day…just before sunset], ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.” 

The ‘DAY OF PREPARATION’ (Nisan 14) was also the day when the Israelites killed their Passover lambs in the late afternoon and early evening of that day between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm according to the Jewish historian Josephus. 

Now, knowing that the ‘DAY OF PREPARATION’ was for the killing of the Passover Lambs and preparation of food for the ‘Feast of Unleavened Bread’ meal that would be eaten by the Jewish people on the EARLY NIGHT of Friday, Nisan 15, let us now look at some Scripture verses that PROVE that the authentic Passover meal of the Passover lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs WAS NOT EATEN BY THE JEWS ON THE NISAN 14 NIGHT. NOR BY JESUS when He ate His ‘Last Supper’ meal (“Seudah Maphsehket”) with His twelve apostles.

In John 18:28, we read:

“Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; BUT THAT THEY NIGHT EAT THE PASSOVER.” 

The Jewish people had not yet eaten the “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread” meal when Jesus was going through His trial before Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate on Thursday, Nisan 14 early morning. He was sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be crucified that very same day of Thursday, Nisan 14, and He would die on the Cross in that afternoon OF Nisan 14 at 3:00 PM. -- The “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread’ meal would not be eaten by the Jewish people until AFTER Jesus was already dead and laying in the tomb. -- It would be eaten right AFTER the sunset of Nisan 14. 

In John 18:39, we read: 

“[The Roman Governor Pontius Pilate speaking] But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one AT THE PASSOVER: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?”

The Nisan 15 “Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread” meal had not yet been eaten when Pontius Pilate made this statement because it was made on Thursday, Nisan 14, ‘the preparation day’ for the Nisan 15 Feast of Unleavened Bread meal, also called "the Passover”. I

In John 19:14-15, we read: 

"And it was the ‘PREPARATION OF PASSOVER’, and about the sixth hour [6:00 AM Roman time]: and he [Pontius Pilate] saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." 

When the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate sentenced Jesus to be crucified it was 6:00 AM, Thursday, Nisan 14, the ‘Day of Preparation’ for the “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread” meal that would be celebrated AFTER sunset that same day. 

In John 19:31, we read: 

“The Jews therefore, because it was THE PREPARATION [Nisan 14], that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” 

Jesus was killed on Thursday, Nisan 14 which was the ‘Day of Preparation’ for the “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread” that would be celebrated that same day AFTER SUNDOWN. 

The “Feast of Unleavened Bread” itself (Friday, Nisan 15) was a “HIGH DAY SABBATH” meaning that ‘no work’ could be done by the Jewish people on that Feast Day.

Now it is extremely important to know that Thursday, Nisan 14, during the Passover week in which Jesus was crucified in 32 A.D., was a ‘DAY OF PREPARATION’ for TWO SABBATH DAYS IN A ROW – the “Feast of Unleavened Bread Sabbath” on Friday, Nisan 15, and the regular “Saturday Sabbath” (Shabbat) that began AFTER SUNDOWN of Friday, Nisan 15 and ended AT SUNDOWN on Saturday, Nisan 16.

In John 19:41, 42, we see more proof that the Jews had not yet eaten their Passover and Unleavened Bread meal of Nisan 15… 

“Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore BECAUSE OF THE JEWS’ PREPARATION DAY; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.”

In the above verse it is still the “JEWS’ PREPARATION DAY” (Thursday, Nisan 14) in the late afternoon when Jesus Christ is laid into the sepulcher. It was nearing sundown, and nearing the time for the Israelites to celebrate the “Feast of Unleavened Bread” meal on that early night of Friday, Nisan 15 which began right after sunset of Thursday, Nisan 14.

 In Mark 15:42, 43, we read:

“And now when the EVEN was come [right before sunset of Nisan 14], because it was THE PREPARATION, that is, the day before the [“high day”] Sabbath [the Nisan 15 Feast of Unleavened Bread], Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.” 

Now please note that Mark 15:42, 43 is in complete agreement with John 19:31 and 19:41, 42, that the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified [Nisan 14] was the “PREPARATION” day for both the Friday, Nisan 15, “Feast of Unleavened Bread” and the Saturday, Nisan 16, regular “Saturday Sabbath” (Shabbat) when Jesus Christ was laid into the sepulcher.

In Luke 23:52-54, we read: 

“This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the PREPARATION, and the [‘high day” Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread] sabbath drew on.”

Luke is also in agreement with John and Mark that it was Thursday, Nisan 14, “THE PREPARATION DAY”, when Jesus Christ was laid into the sepulcher.

In Matthew 27:62-63, we read:

“Now the NEXT DAY [Nisan 15], that followed the DAY OF THE PREPARATION [Nisan 14], the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.” 

The day after the “day of the preparation” (Nisan 14) the chief priests came together unto Pilate and requested guards be placed at the tomb of Jesus. This means that the chief priests came together on Nisan 15, the “Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread” and requested that the tomb of Jesus be guarded. So, it is IMPOSSIBLE for Jesus and His apostles to have eaten the “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread’ meal during their ‘last supper’ meal in the upper room because it had not yet been eaten by the Jewish people.

Please note that there is no conflict whatsoever between the four writers of the Gospels regarding WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK Jesus Christ was crucified. He was crucified on THURSDAY, NISAN 14, the Jewish “DAY OF PREPARATION” for the “Feast of Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread” which was celebrated on EARLY Friday night, Nisan 15 in the Passover Week in which Jesus was crucified in 32 A.D. 

JESUS INSTITUTED THE ‘LORD’S SUPPER’ (COMMUNION) ON THE EARLY NIGHT OF THURSDAY, NISAN 14 

In Matthew 26: 20; 26-29, we read: 

“Now when THE EVEN was come [it was right before sunset of Wednesday, Nisan 13 and the beginning of the early night of Nisan 14], he sat down with the twelve . . . . And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,

"Take, eat; this is my body."  

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 

"Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." 

In Mark 14:17; 22-25, we read: 

“And in the evening [it was right before the sunset of Nisan 13 and the beginning of the night of Nisan 14] he [Jesus] cometh with the twelve. . . . And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said,  

"Take, eat: this is my body." 

And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, 

"This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 

In Luke 22:7-20, we read: 

“Then came the day of unleavened bread 

[it was now the early night of Thursday, Nisan 14] 

when the passover [lamb] must be killed

[it is killed during the hours of 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Nisan 14 according to Josephus] . . . . 

And when the hour was come 

[the hour to eat the “Seudah Maphsehket” meal on the night of Thursday, Nisan 14] 

he [Jesus] sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, 

"with desire I have desired to eat this Passover [the “Seudah Maphsehket” meal] with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof [after this meal tonight], until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, 

"Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come."  

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying,

"This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me." 

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 

"This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”  

Matthew, Mark, and Luke give the same accounting of when Jesus Christ instituted the “Lord’s Supper” on the early night of Thursday, Nisan 14 in the Passover Week in which Christ was crucified.

The truth is that Jesus Christ our Lord actually instituted a ‘MEMORIAL CELEBRATION’ that I believe all of us true Christians (and Christian churches) ought to observe on EVERY NISAN 14 NIGHT [right after sundown of Nisan 13] DURING THE PASSOVER SEASON OF EVERY YEAR until Jesus Christ returns at the Rapture to take His Bride the Church into Heaven with Him. 

I really do believe that ‘Nisan 14’ (Passover) is a ‘SACRED DATE ON THE CALENDAR’ that Satan has managed to sabotage in order to gain worship for himself on a day called “Good Friday”.

The truth is that Satan has also managed to divert the attention of Christians AWAY FROM CELEBRATING ANYTHING IN HONOR OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE SACRED DATE OF NISAN 14. 

– Think about it! – 

Not only do most Christians NOT observe a “Lord’s Supper” celebration together after 6:00 PM on the night of Nisan 14 as a memorial to Jesus Christ for instituting the first Lord’s Supper, but they also fail to celebrate Nisan 14 as a memorial to Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross that occurred at 3:00 PM on the afternoon of Nisan 14. 

I think it is blasphemy against God that Jesus Christ’s death is celebrated on “Good Friday” instead of being observed on the ACTUAL DATE that He was crucified and buried during Passover Week.
