1
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:08.469
The centrality of the cross in the gospel is evident in scripture.

2
00:00:08.479 --> 00:00:16.890
Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin,
and the cross is at the center of the great prophetic week.

3
00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:24.600
You can see more about this great week in the short video entitled The
First and Last Prophecy.

4
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:35.241
But as important as the cross of Christ is to Christians,
very few people throughout Christendom even know when it took place.

5
00:00:35.251 --> 00:00:36.390
How can that be?

6
00:00:37.130 --> 00:00:42.365
The timing of important historical events is something that is so
crucial to

7
00:00:42.375 --> 00:00:47.670
understanding our history and identity that we never forget important
dates.

8
00:00:49.369 --> 00:00:54.480
How can it be that the date of Christ's crucifixion is unknown?

9
00:00:54.490 --> 00:01:05.269
In this video we want to highlight the message of the cross by
studying the day of that great event, because God's timing is perfect.

10
00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:16.904
And in so studying we will see how the correct date sheds a great
light that will allow us to understand the workings of God's calendar,

11
00:01:16.914 --> 00:01:19.103
and emphasize how amazing it

12
00:01:19.113 --> 00:01:25.671
is that the only FRB source in our galaxy highlighted exactly that
date in the amazing

13
00:01:25.681 --> 00:01:31.390
message from the throne of God introduced in the video "How Long,
O Lord."

14
00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:40.358
Even in the Old Testament the cross was prefigured by symbols and
through the so-called Jewish feasts,

15
00:01:40.368 --> 00:01:47.377
which were actually instituted by God through Moses and are thus
instructive to all believers in God,

16
00:01:47.387 --> 00:01:48.409
not just Jews.

17
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:57.820
The first thing one notices about the feasts is that the holy
convocations were divided into spring and autumn feasts,

18
00:01:57.830 --> 00:02:04.129
and that the people themselves would come and experience the meaning
of the feasts in person.

19
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:13.479
Because the great master intended to convey their teachings not only
in a theoretical way, but also in an experiential way.

20
00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:23.248
So the people who were being liberated from bondage were to eat the
sacrifice and sprinkle the blood on their doorposts

21
00:02:23.258 --> 00:02:30.575
as a sign of faith and trust in the one who would eventually free them
from the bondage of not only Egypt,

22
00:02:30.585 --> 00:02:31.740
but also of sin.

23
00:02:32.810 --> 00:02:39.304
Indeed they were instructed to carry unleavened or unpuffed up bread
dough for their journey that

24
00:02:39.314 --> 00:02:45.330
they were embarking upon as a symbol of a life of freedom from pride
and every other sin.

25
00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:58.844
The feasts found in Leviticus 23 are Passover on the 14th day of the
first month, the feast of unleavened bread from the 15th to the 21st,

26
00:02:58.854 --> 00:03:02.401
with a special first offering on the 16th,

27
00:03:02.411 --> 00:03:05.710
after which Pentecost comes in 50 days.

28
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:16.065
In the autumn, the day of trumpets is on the first day of the seventh
month, the day of atonement is on the 10th day of the same month,

29
00:03:16.075 --> 00:03:20.009
and the feast of tabernacles is from the 15th to the 22nd.

30
00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:28.910
But how do you know which is the first day of each month,
or when the first month of the new year begins?

31
00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:34.759
Historically, we know that the ancients began the year in spring,
but when exactly?

32
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.995
Incidentally, at the time of this production,

33
00:03:39.005 --> 00:03:45.090
almost the whole world is in quarantine and celebrating the beginning
of a new common calendar year.

34
00:03:46.030 --> 00:03:52.319
So it is a good time to understand the true calendar of God that he
gave for our instruction.

35
00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:01.844
Professing Christians are attempting under these present conditions to
celebrate the birth of our Lord about two months too late,

36
00:04:01.854 --> 00:04:04.778
because they neither understand God's calendar,

37
00:04:04.788 --> 00:04:07.039
nor the times recorded in the Bible.

38
00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:13.271
You can read about the true birthday of Christ in the article
Christmas 2.

40
00:04:14.649 --> 00:04:14.935
org.

41
00:04:14.945 --> 00:04:21.779
The answers to how the calendar of God works are found when we study
Christ's death more deeply.

42
00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:30.920
That is, after all, the event that we have been invited to remember
and make part of our own experience until Jesus comes.

43
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.865
As part of that, shouldn't we know when it happened?

44
00:04:35.875 --> 00:04:43.220
For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup,
ye do show the Lord's death till he come.

45
00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:51.500
In this verse, we learn that Jesus, when he ate the Passover,
instituted the Lord's Supper in its place.

46
00:04:52.149 --> 00:04:59.323
And he died that same Jewish day, mere hours after his terrible night
of anguish and Gethsemane,

47
00:04:59.333 --> 00:05:02.910
around the time of the daily evening sacrifice.

48
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:11.747
It so happened that he died on a Friday, or preparation day,
before resting in the tomb on a High Sabbath,

49
00:05:11.757 --> 00:05:15.725
so called because it was not only the seventh-day Sabbath,

50
00:05:15.735 --> 00:05:19.568
but also the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,

51
00:05:19.578 --> 00:05:24.827
which is a day of holy convocation and a ceremonial Sabbath in its own
right,

52
00:05:24.837 --> 00:05:27.389
according to verse 7 of Leviticus 23.

53
00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:35.051
And therefore it was to be regarded as an extra-special High Sabbath,
as mentioned in John 19.

54
00:05:35.061 --> 00:05:35.269
31.

55
00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:45.410
All of these things are explained in simple and meticulous detail in
the article series entitled Full Moon at Gethsemane on LastCountdown.

56
00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:45.684
org.

57
00:05:45.694 --> 00:05:49.899
Please read those articles for profound insight on these things.

58
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:58.019
This video is just to introduce you to the topic and encourage you to
dig deeper by reading those articles in your study time.

59
00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:07.350
So, on what Friday did Jesus die, and why is it important to know,
and how is this connected to God's calendar?

60
00:06:08.230 --> 00:06:12.685
We've already noticed that God's calendar is the basis for the solemn
feasts,

61
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:17.430
and that Jesus himself fulfilled the spring feasts through his work on
the earth.

62
00:06:18.329 --> 00:06:22.542
But we should also want to know the exact date of the crucifixion,

63
00:06:22.552 --> 00:06:27.519
which will shed light and sound on the correct functioning of God's
calendar.

64
00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:35.894
And thus we will be able to better appreciate the messages that come
from the throne of God, like voices, thunder,

65
00:06:35.904 --> 00:06:42.800
and lightning, as it says in Revelation, and as conveyed in the
impressive video "How Long, O Lord?"

66
00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:51.867
Going back to the date of the crucifixion,
the prophecy of the 2300 evenings and mornings, with the 70 weeks included,

67
00:06:51.877 --> 00:06:54.790
is clearly related to the daily sacrifices.

68
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:04.014
And by knowing the date of the beginning of the timeline, that is,
the command in 457 BC to restore Jerusalem,

69
00:07:04.024 --> 00:07:09.050
we can confirm the year AD 31 as the year of Jesus's sacrifice.

70
00:07:10.589 --> 00:07:17.199
But what was the date of that Friday, which had to be the 14th day of
the first month of the year AD 31?

71
00:07:18.029 --> 00:07:24.220
By answering this question, we can clearly understand the God-given
rules for his calendar.

72
00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:31.237
Again, it is all explained in careful detail in the articles of the
Gethsemane series on lastcountdown.

73
00:07:31.247 --> 00:07:31.500
org.

74
00:07:32.060 --> 00:07:33.350
So please study further.

75
00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:43.389
Many people try to sow confusion around these clear prophecies and
their clear fulfillment, but we know Satan is the author of confusion.

76
00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:52.800
And there are many variations of the biblical calendar that are
promoted today, but are not correct in every or any circumstance.

77
00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:58.654
On the other hand, God has promised wisdom to those who ask him for it,
and

78
00:07:58.664 --> 00:08:03.600
we would be wise to make the words of the apostle Paul our own,
who said:.

79
00:08:04.569 --> 00:08:11.300
For I determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and
him crucified.

80
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.578
To make it as simple as possible,

81
00:08:14.588 --> 00:08:24.259
all you have to do is reconstruct a calendar for the year AD 31 and
look for which Friday corresponds to the 14th day of the Jewish month.

82
00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:28.597
That would have to be the day of Christ's crucifixion,

83
00:08:28.607 --> 00:08:33.747
and doing so reveals several conditions that determine how God's
calendar must

84
00:08:33.757 --> 00:08:38.360
work in order for that Friday to be the 14th day of the Jewish month.

85
00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:48.163
Thus, by studying the date of the crucifixion,
we have the ideal scenario to understand the nuances of God's calendar.

86
00:08:48.173 --> 00:08:50.940
In summary, here are the main points.

87
00:08:52.129 --> 00:08:57.763
The days begin at sunset, and not at midnight as we are accustomed to.

88
00:08:57.773 --> 00:09:03.960
Jesus died on a Friday in the year AD 31,
according to the 70 weeks prophecy.

89
00:09:04.690 --> 00:09:11.710
The beginning of a new month is indicated by the first visible
crescent of the new moon, and not the astronomical new moon.

90
00:09:12.929 --> 00:09:20.815
If the moon is not visible on the expected day because of atmospheric
conditions, the month begins the next day automatically,

91
00:09:20.825 --> 00:09:23.820
because no month should have more than 30 days.

92
00:09:24.970 --> 00:09:30.450
The year begins after the spring equinox,
and with mature enough barley.

93
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:39.629
In case the barley is not mature enough, or the spring equinox has not
arrived yet, a thirteenth month is added to the old year.

94
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:46.830
Again, this is painstakingly detailed in the Gethsemane articles,
which you should study for yourself.

95
00:09:47.809 --> 00:10:01.251
But in summary, only this set of calendrical rules results in a spring
Friday of AD 31, falling on the 14th day of the Jewish month, namely,

96
00:10:01.261 --> 00:10:02.019
Friday,

97
00:10:02.029 --> 00:10:02.787
May 25,

98
00:10:02.797 --> 00:10:03.460
AD 31.

99
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:14.010
All the other Jewish calendar reconstructions miss the mark,
and fail to confirm that our Lord died as recorded in the Gospel records,

100
00:10:14.020 --> 00:10:18.759
and that the timing of His death fulfilled the 70-week time prophecy.

101
00:10:20.450 --> 00:10:25.516
The sacrifice of the Lamb of God made on the cross of Calvary for you
and me,

102
00:10:25.526 --> 00:10:31.899
is at the heart of the messages that God has been revealing through
His calendar and His clocks.

103
00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:41.809
His death unlocks a proper understanding of the calendar that opens
the horizon to understand more of the times and seasons of God.

104
00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:50.700
This knowledge is a life experience, and the clocks of God are
instructive for the choices we have to make today.

105
00:10:51.929 --> 00:10:57.500
Watch our other videos on the White Cloud Farm channel for more timely
guidance from God's Word.

106
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:08.223
With the understanding shared in this video,
it can be seen how special it is that one of the three fast radio bursts that happened

107
00:11:08.233 --> 00:11:17.139
in our own galaxy pointed exactly to the solar anniversary of the
crucifixion day, as shown in the video "How Long, O Lord."

108
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:25.059
We hope it is now somewhat clearer how amazing it is that the message
coming from the throne of God

109
00:11:25.069 --> 00:11:31.759
presented in that video actually confirms that Jesus Christ died for
you and is returning for you.

110
00:11:32.629 --> 00:11:40.779
Through such signs and wonders, God's people in recent years have been
experiencing more than a theoretical knowledge of the power of God.

111
00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:48.722
It is an experience that changes one's life,
because God is alive and speaking to us today.

112
00:11:48.732 --> 00:11:56.340
He counsels us in our choices, He confirms His truth,
and He warns of the deceptions of the enemy.

113
00:11:57.269 --> 00:12:03.445

117
00:12:11.789 --> 00:12:19.653
Through His voice from heaven, God has confirmed His calendar,
the historical fulfillment of the 70-week prophecy,

118
00:12:19.663 --> 00:12:27.379
and all the Bible truth that was painstakingly hammered out by early
Adventists and tested by past generations.

119
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:34.740
By confirming the date of the crucifixion of His Son,
God's voice is speaking again today, saying:.

120
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.329
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

121
00:12:39.339 --> 00:12:40.320
Hear ye Him.

122
00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:41.972
Amen.

123
00:12:41.982 --> 00:12:43.110
So be it.
