Greetings doday, I simply use the "sign of Jonah" (three days and three nights) quote from the Master Himself. The timing works out just fine - not exactly 72 hours (as some demand) but 3 actual nights and 3 actual days. Dhaniei |

Shalom again, doday, I do agree with you on the Weds crucifixion (at the third hour) but not on the rising. I believe that happened on the Sabbath during the time just as the Sabbath is dissolving into the first day of the week (today this time period is called Havdalah - separating the holy from the common). The scriptures never actually state that Messiah rose on the first day, only that the tomb was discovered to be empty at dawn. But this really shouldn't be a divisive subject, just put the possibilities out there and let anyone who wants to chew on them - the fact that He Arose is what is important!! Amen?! Dhaniei |

searcher, It most likely was Saturday (according to John 12) that He entered Jerusalem, but in the evening. After sunset it would have been considered the first day of the week but still a part of the waking time of the current day. (I observe the Jewish calendar and hours and it can get a bit confusing at times :0) ) Dhaniei |

Searcher, In your scenario, you seem to have left out the 4 days of inspection that the lamb is to go through before the actual slaughter after it has been chosen and taken into the house (which would have been day one)? Dhaniei |

26 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219458 | ||
Dear Doc, It was my original reply to John that did not receive due respect. I requested to let that question drop and another poster (not John) began asking what inquiring minds had no real need to know. I have NOT violated any TOU's (as of yet...) It's all a matter of word choices, and I do mean CHOICES. You want to be known as a Christian rather than a Messianic Jew, good for you, that's your right. I CHOOSE to be known as a Messianic Jew, and that's my right. It's my right to do so without condemnation. I might add, telling one that I am a Messianic Jew opens up all kinds of doors to witness, about your Jesus Christ/my Yeshua haMashiach to Jews and non-Jews alike. If the Father is not pleased, HE will deal with me about it. HE will rebuke me, and that I will receive in all contriteness. So far, He has been silent in that area. I don't think He has a problem with either of our choices as we worship the very same Savior :o) Thank you Dhaniei |

Justme, I am not ashamed of the name of christ BUT I am a Jew. Should I be ashamed of that? My Master was/is a Jew. I would much prefer to identify with my heritage. It really surprises me that you guys would be so far more interested in whether I call myself christian or Messianic Jew and totally overlook the fact that I just went thru a holiday without my husband, and 8 kids didn't have their abba. You guys need to get a grip. And, John, you're right. What am I doing here. I'll be much better off on a Jewish website than here. Dhaniei |

You guys have just shown one of the very reasons I choose to distance myself from a particular term or classification. "Christian" does not paint a pretty picture (neither today nor historically, especially to a Jew). Thank you sweet, Yenisa, you alone have shown what SHOULD be the attitude of a "christian" but sadly, is not practiced by the majority. John, you asked a question, I politely requested not to respond, and a third party choose not to respect my wishes, and just look what happened! Grown adults quibbling over a word. You should be ashemed of yourselves and plead 1 John 1:9 and let it go. I'm sure there must be something more important for you boys to fret over than a word? Dhaniei |

Dear John, Thank you for the welcome. You ask: "...if you don't mind my asking: why, pray tell, do you not call yourself a Christian?" The answer is involved and I'm afraid it would only open up a sour can of worms here, so if you don't mind, I would like to beg off answering that question. Thank you for your deference and understanding... Dhaniei |

Yenisa, "Being grafted in, does not make the Christians less. The natural branches were not pruned, but broken off. But this, doesn't make the Jews less." Great!! Amen!! I have two buttons that get me going - one being concerning Israel. Sometimes it gets pushed by my own misunderstanding, sometimes it's not so much me... As long as the discussion is kept in gentleness and causes one to seek answers - then it's all good. Last week I found myself in a "replacement theology" group of people - guess my button got pressed really hard :o) Sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intention at all. Dhaniei |

John, I don't understand what part of that sentence you don't understand. The Jews are Abraham's descendants by ethnicticity (spell?), Gentiles (or Christians) are descendants by adoption and faith in Messiah. Jews receive the promise by the fact that they are Jews, Christians receive the promise by trust in Messiah. So, to go back to the original post, Jews are the "least of these" in Matthew and extended to those who trust in Messiah's finished work during (and after) the Book of Acts. The promise has never been recinded from its original inheritors, just extended to those who were not, at that time, a part of that group of people. Dhaniei |

Dear CDBJ, I have no quarrel with that at all, but please look back at the original promise. It was a promise, not a covenant. But if one insists on calling it a covenant, it wwould be unilateral, not a "if you...then I..." bilateral covenant. Nothing was required of Abraham for God to keep His promise to him. I believe that all of Abraham's descendants, then and now, Jewish and Christian, fall under that promise, whether they receive Jesus or not, and all those who either bless or curse Israel also fall under that promise for blessing or cursing, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile. (This was not a promise only of eternal salvation through his Seed, it was also a promise of earthly blessing and cursing and that is what I was commenting on. Perhaps I should have been more clear?)

Dear Azure and Yenisa, Excuse me for just jumping in, but there were no christians at the time of Matthew 12. Jesus did have brethren and brothers, though, His people, the Jews. Throughout the NT we read, 'to the Jew first, then to the Greek'. Was not the promise given to Abraham by God that all who blessed him (Abraham's descendants) God would bless, and all who cursed him God would curse? Why should the statement in Matthew be any different? (Christians become included by being grafted into Israel, but the promise remains to the Jewish people.) Thank you for listening. Dhaniei |

Good morning Val, I agree with you. Let me add one of my favorite verses to those you shared: (Rev. 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.") Rev. 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Notice that the bride makes HERSELF ready to wear the fine linen of her righteous acts. Of course, it is agreed that without the salvation that comes by grace through faith in Messiah there is no opportunity, no way to make one's self ready for anything but condemnation. The righteous acts do not purchase salvation, just great garments :o) .) Dhaniei |

Justme, Amen and amen!! Although it's not an issue to become divisive over (very few are) I do believe that a prophecy that is so clearly one of Messiah, one that is so "black and white" must be reconciled or it will have to bring into question other prophecies that are not so clear and yet are accepted as concerning our Savior. It is not something that I feel compelled to convince anyone on, I've put it out there for everyone's consideration, that's all. If I'm right, I've done what is required, if I'm wrong, please forgive and we both know our Father will straighten me out, lol. Dhaniei |

37 | Unforgiveable sin. | Luke 12:10 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219334 | ||
Dear Mr. Jones, Being sorry has NOTHING to do with repentance. Changing your mindset and the direction in which you're headed has EVERYTHING to do with repentance. One can be truly sorry that they cheated on their spouse, stole money from the till, scarfed away that cookie cooling on the rack, etc. That same person was probably even sorrier the next time they did the deed, and the next, and the next.... Repentance institutes a CHANGE, not only in attitude but in actions. There will never again be a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time. The mind (or heart, if you prefer to call it that) is changed by an act of the will - this is repentance which leads to salvation. Brought on by the Holy Spirit, convicting the inner man that is now alive in those of us called by God to be walking epistles. Other deeds will be committed, we are all human, and we're basically "screw-ups", but being sorry for these deeds will accomplish nothing except condemnation. Only a changing of our thinking and behavior will turn us toward the Way and keep us walking in that direction. And we can only do this by the Spirit of our Lord and Master. Dhaniei |

Dear Searcher, I must agree with you on the Friday thing (or Nissan 15) as this would be the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread. This first day (whatever day it falls on each year is a Special Sabbath). Special Sabbaths have a few less restrictions to them (such as being able to prepare the meals, a bit more traveling distance, etc.) but the restrictions such as touching a corpse still applies. If one follows the days, counting backwards, in the book of John (John 12:12-13, you quoted it yourself), we actually find that Yeshua's (Jesus) arrival in Jerusalem was not on a Friday, but on the Sabbath (most likely Fri. evening after sundown, but still to the Jew, on the 7th day, on the Sabbath). Then we have the 4 days that the Lamb was to be brought into the house and examined. (Again, you stated it!) It was a common term to call the Temple the House, and He was indeed examined for 4 days by the Pharisees, Saduccees, scribes and ordinary people for the next 4 days and was found to be without fault, spot or blemish. He was slaughtered on the 4th day of the week, the Saduccean Day of Preparation (this would be Weds. when the earth was covered in darkness). (The Pharisaic Day of Preparation fell on the next day, according to the time the very first meal was eaten in Egypt, which was around midnight on the 15th of Nisan.) This would put our Lamb in the tomb sometime before sunset on Weds. evening to the time just after sundown on Saturday (a time the Jews call Havdalah, a very short period of time where heaven and earth touch, where the holy merges just for an instant with the common as we leave the holy for the mundane of the coming work week[just a tradition, but a very profound tradition]). Within a few short hours, very early on Sunday morning at dawn, there is the wondrous finding of an empty tomb!! So, we have Weds pm to Thurs am equaling 1 night. We have Thurs pm to Fri am equaling 1 night. And we have Fri pm to Sat am equaling 1 night. 3 Nights. We have Thurs am to Thurs pm equaling 1 day. We have Fri am to Fri pm equaling 1 day. We have Sat am to Sat pm equaling 1 day. 3 Days. He was never actually in the tomb on Sunday, He had risen, His empty tomb was discovered on this wonderful day. Dhaniei |

Dear Justme, If you think your computer may be at fault, you may want to download Ccleaner. It is especially good for people who spend alot of time online and it has NO spyware, adware, or any-ware type junk. I use it on a daily basis. Dhaniei |
