There is a good website for that: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html Just plug in your dates and numbers and it'll calculate it for you. Thanks! Is it that easy … I put in the start date and then punched in 3 years 6 months … and it came up with March 27th … I googled … “In Jewish history what is important about March 27th?” And it lead me to this rabbit hole. Did you ever narrow down the year Jesus was crucified? If not … check this out … is this anything new that will help in your research or do you already have this info? Evidence for Jesus' Crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD By Christianevidence.net On what day was Jesus crucified? Several clues from scripture lead us to the precise date (year, month, day, and hour) when Jesus died. Let's see... Clue #1: The High Priesthood of Caiaphas Clue #2: The Governorship of Pontius Pilate Clue #3: After "the Fifteenth Year of Tiberius Caesar" Clue #4: Crucified on a Friday We know that it was a Friday because it is referred to as "the day of preparation"--that is, the day on which Jews made the preparations they needed for the Sabbath, since they could not do any work on that day. That eliminates six of the days of the week, but there were still quite a few Fridays between A.D. 29 and 36. Clue #5: A Friday at Passover Monday, April 18, A.D. 29 As you can see, we have just two candidates left: Jesus was either crucified on April 7 of A.D. 30 or April 3 of A.D. 33. Clue #6: John's Three Passovers Passover #1: This is recorded in John 2:13, near the beginning of Jesus' ministry. That means that the ministry of Jesus had to span something over two years. A fuller treatment would reveal that it spanned about three and a half years, but even if we assume it began immediately before Passover #1, the addition of two more Passovers shows that it lasted more than two years at a bare minimum. That means the A.D. 30 date is out. There is not enough time between the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar--A.D. 29--and the next year's Passover to accommodate a ministry of at least two years. The numbers don't add up. The date of Jesus' death must be Friday, April 3, A.D. 33. Clue #7: "The Ninth Hour" This is when it happened. All evidence points to Friday 3 April AD 33 as the date when Jesus Christ died, and can be confirmed by numerous scholars including Colin J. Humphreys and W.G. Waddington1. Other Evidence Apart from scriptural evidence, there is also astronomical, seismological and historical evidence for Jesus' Crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD. Let's see... 1. Earthquake evidence. Immediately after Jesus died on the cross, a great earthquake occurred (Matthew 27:50-51). The National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintain a database of historical earthquakes. From 1 AD to 50 AD only one significant earthquake occurred in Israel and it happened in 33 AD according to four different sources - a fifth source mentions the 33 AD date, but attempts to disparage the possibility purely because of what the spiritual implications are. Read more: Greatest Earthquakes of the Bible. 2. Darkness at noon evidence. The New Testament records the three-hour darkness during Christ’s crucifixion (Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44–45). But it is also confirmed by four other historians outside the Bible: Phlegon, Thallus, Africanus and Tertullian. For instance, a historical record from Jerome, whose source was the secular historian Phlegon, pinpointed the darkness that lasted for three hours the day Christ died (from about noon to 3:00 PM) to the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (32 or 33 AD). Read more: Is there historical evidence for the darkness & earthquake at the crucifixion? and Darkness at Noon. 3. Jesus on cross planetary alignment. On April 3, 33 AD, the planets Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Earth and Venus aligned to form what looks like Jesus on the cross with the head, the hands spread out and the legs together in accurate positioning, rotation and on a galactic scale. Even Saturn's rings can be viewed as representing the 'halo' or 'crown of thorns.' This alignment appears to have occurred only six times between the year 0 and 2000 A.D., equivalent to once every 333 years! Just a coincidence? 4. Lunar eclipse evidence. There is a consensus as to whether the physical phenomena associated with the death of Christ was foretold hundreds of years before by the prophet Joel. The prophet Joel foretold that, "The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood... And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Joel 2:31,32) The sun was darkened in the middle of the day during the crucifixion, and it just so happened that, after the three hours of darkness, a partial lunar eclipse was visible across Israel as soon as the moon rose that night, Friday, April 3, 33 AD! When lunar eclipses are higher in the sky they often look light red or orange, but when low on the horizon as it was that night, the red hues are often darkened into the color of blood, thus appearing to be "blood red". This lunar eclipse lasted 333 minutes and 66 degrees on the horizon. Putting all the evidence together, I believe Jesus was crucified on April 3, 33 AD, and therefore would have risen on Sunday, April 5, 33 AD. An amazing pattern you might have noticed above is the recurrence of the number 3. Just so you're aware, the number 3 is used 467 times in the Bible, and is the number of perfection, or completion, picturing completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. The number 3 is significant in regards to the resurrection. For example, Jesus prayed 3 times in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest. He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour (3 p.m.). There were 3 hours of darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour. Christ was dead for 3 days and 3 nights before His resurrection! Thus, we can summarize that: When Jesus uttered the statement, "It is completed!" (John 19:30) seconds before His death, it was at precisely 3 p.m. on April 3, 33 AD, while Jesus was at the age of 33. In addition, the planetary alignment of Jesus on the cross, which occurs approximately once every 333 years, was in the sky at this exact time along with the lunar eclipse that lasted 333 minutes and 66 (33x2) degrees on the horizon! Only God could orchestrate something like that. These are powerful evidences for the historicity of Christ’s crucifixion on April 3, 33 AD. Jesus' crucifixion was a real historical event. By the way, the crucifixion of Jesus took place at Golgotha, elevation = 777 meters above sea level. What a coincidence. - Fair Use - Glad you found it useful. Interesting article. I don't agree with their conclusion that Jesus had to be crucified on a Friday, though. More likely was Wednesday. Also, Tiberius became a co-Emperor in 11 AD. So, Jesus could have started his ministry in the fall of 26 AD. IMHO, 30 AD is the crucifixion year. It also matches the timeline of the Temple being built for 46 years. That was initiated around 20 or 19 BC. Will talk more on this later. :bye: me too … after Feast of Trumpets … if we are still here … I’m looking at a Halloween rapture! While the world will be celebrating halloween and partying to satan … the graves will open up for the saints to rise and then we go up and disappear … celebrating and partying up in heaven on Jesus’ birthday! Yes, I lean towards the theory of October 31st birthday for Jesus :mail: Luke 1:5 The “course of Abia” ended July 31st and that’s when Zacharias priestly duties ended. He went home that night and Elizabeth became pregnant to John the Baptist. Mary was pregnant in January 31st because she visited Elizabeth to tell her the Good News and John the Baptist was 6 months in her womb leaping for joy. Then 9 months later would make it … October 31st. And we know Jesus is always on time, never late. I think satan stole the holiday away because he wishes to be like God. And the last day that sheep could be grazing out in the fields before winter was … November 1st. Just in time. :whistle: ** Bumping ** In this passage Peter asks the Lord how often should we forgive our brothers when they sin against us … 7 times? And Jesus responds with 70 x 7 Matt 18 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. So is the 70 x 7 just a random number or is Jesus clueing us we need to forgive until the church age ends? According to this Shemitah Chart … we are in the last of the 70th year since Israel’s rebirth as a nation … plus could the remaining 7 years of forgiveness be referring to the tribulation time frame for those who are left behind in fleshly bodies and will become the tribulation saints? Since Peter and the rest of the disciples were in the upper room at Pentecost they are considered part of the church. So they will be getting their glorified bodies like us at the time of the rapture. Then those O.T. Saints … along with who gets saved during the tribulation … will they be getting their glorified bodies at the end of the 7 year tribulation time? :unsure: Hence … then no need to forgive anybody since we will all have glorified bodies once the millennium period starts. :whistle: :feedback What are your thoughts to this? I would say that it is 70 × 7 and not 70 + 7. I like the train of thought, though. Very interesting. Built, destroyed and rebuilt – this has repeatedly been the fate of Yerushalayim’s walls. Today’s iconic Old City walls were renovated in 1538-42 by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, whose dedicatory inscription adorns the Jaffa Gate. https://theisraelbible.com/bible/nehemiah-6/ The walls were started in 1538. Add 483 (69 × 7) years and we come to *drum roll* 2021. :mail: It is my contention that the Antichrist will fake his credentials by faking a fulfillment of Daniel 9:25. Daniel 9:25 New King James Version 25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. Something to think about, anyway. :whistle: Very interesting! Could be, Arthur. (Not Bea Arthur though) I could be a Arthur. 😉 this is a lengthy article. the authors think 2026 - 2033 might be the tribulation period. They think Gog / Magog likely in December 2022. Hi everyone. I like the pic of this dog in Bob's video and other of his videos. I assume it's his dog? Something I am wondering about. Bob Barber, in another of his videos on Shemetah, seems to be pointing to 9/27/22 as a likely rapture date. Unless I am misunderstanding him, would that not be date setting? Phil
The gospels indicate that Jesus was crucified at the instigation of the first century high priest named Caiaphas (Matthew 26:3-4, John 11:49-53). We know from other sources that he served as high priest from A.D. 18 to 36, so that puts Jesus' death in that time frame.
All four gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on the orders of Pontius Pilate (Matthew 27:24-26, Mark 15:15, Luke 23:24, John 19:15-16). We know from other sources when he served as governor of Judea--A.D. 26 to A.D. 36--so we can narrow down the range by several years.
The Gospel of Luke tells us when the ministry of John the Baptist began: "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar...the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness." (Luke 3:1-2) This picks out a specific year: A.D. 29. Since all four gospels depict the ministry of Christ beginning after that of John the Baptist had begun (Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3, John 1), this means that we can shave a few more years off our range. The death of Christ had to be in a range of seven years: between A.D. 29 and 36.
All four gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on a Friday (Matt. 27:62, Mark 15:42; Luke23:54; John 19:42), just before a Sabbath, which was just before the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1).
The gospels also agree that Jesus was crucified in conjunction with the annual feast of Passover (Matthew 26:2, Mark 14:1, Luke 22:1, John 18:39). When describing the morning of Good Friday, John indicates that the Jewish authorities had not yet eaten the Passover meal:
"Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium [i.e., Pilate's palace]. It was early. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. So Pilate went out to them." (John 18:28-29)
That suggests that the Passover would have begun on sundown Friday. They were celebrating a Passover beginning on what we would call Friday evening. That lets us narrow down the range of possible dates to just a few. Here is a complete list of the days between A.D. 29 and 36 on whose evenings Passover began:
Friday, April 7, A.D. 30
Tuesday, March 27, A.D. 31
Monday, April 14, A.D. 32
Friday, April 3, A.D. 33
Wednesday, March 24, A.D. 34
Tuesday, April 12, A.D. 35
Saturday, March 31, A.D. 36
The Gospel of John records three different Passovers during the ministry of Jesus:
Passover #2: This is recorded in John 6:4, in the middle of Jesus' ministry.
Passover #3: This is recorded in John 11:55 (and frequently mentioned afterwards), at the end of Jesus' ministry.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke each record that Jesus died about "the ninth hour" (Matthew 27:45-50, Mark 15:34-37, Luke 23:44-46). "The ninth hour" is what we, today, would refer to as 3:00 p.m. This allows us to narrow down the time of Jesus' death to a very specific point in history: around 3:00 p.m on Friday, April 3, A.D. 33.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife wasof the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Here is something interesting, as well.
