Subject: Jehonadab, Why C.E. and B.C.E.? |
Bible Note: Nisan 14, 33 C.E. is the date on which Jesus Christ was impaled on the torture stake, for he pictured the 'passover lamb' (1 Cor 5:7). This was the date the Jews were commanded to observe the Passover, for Jehovah God said, "This month will be the start of the months for you. It will be the first of the months of the year for you....Speak to the entire assembly of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month they are to take for themselves each one a sheep... And it must continue under safeguard by you until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the two evenings. And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the two doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it....And in this way you should eat it, with your hips girded, sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand; and you must eat it in haste. It is Jehovah’s passover. " Furthermore, He says, " Let there be a remembering of this day on which you went out of Egypt, from the house of slaves, because by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from here. So nothing leavened may be eaten. Today you are going out (of Egypt) in the month of A´bib." This was to take place on " the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month," (Exodus 12:1,3,6,7,11,18; 13:3,4 ) However, this "first month" Abib was later called Nisan ( March/April ) after the nation of Israel came back from bondage to Babylon, for Mordecai wrote." In the first month, that is, the month Ni´san, in the twelfth year of King A·has·u·e´rus." (Esther 3:7) The Jews had been released from Babylonian captivity on October 5/6 539 B.C.E. and the writing of Esther was completed about 475 B.C.E.and therefore the Jewish Passover was held on the date of Nisan (formerly called Abib) 14. Hence, Jesus celebrated the Passover on Nisan (Abib) 14, 33 C.E. and then afterward passd the loaf and the wine, thereby establishing the celebration of the Lord's Evening Meal. |
