The Day Jesus Was Buried

Unleavened Bread A Celebration of Liberation:

The Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrates the day of Israel’s liberation from slavery in Egypt. The feast lasts for seven days, counting from the 15^th day of Nisan (the day they left Egypt) to the day they crossed the Red Sea.  The day after Passover at sundown they hastily left Egypt.  The women mixed unleavened dough in their kneading bowls; it is said they left Egypt in such a haste; they didn’t have time for their dough to rise.  Leaven is a type of sin and slavery; The Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrates God’s liberating power from physical and spiritual bondage.

Jesus Was Buried on The Feast of Unleavened Bread: (you do the math)

Jesus died on the Feast of Passover, which is the 14^th day of Nisan (Mathew26:2; John18:39). They did not get his body buried until after sundown, which begins another day. This is the same time of day the children of Israel begin their march out of Egypt, on the 15^th day of Nisan some 1500 years earlier.   If we count three days from the 15^th, that will give us the 18^th day of Nisan. So, Sunday the day Jesus rose from the dead was the 18^th day of Nisan; and the feast of FirstFruits.   Counting backward three days from Sunday the 18^th to the 15^th would make the 15^th day of Nisan a Thursday. Therefore, the Feast of Passover, Nisan 14th, the day Jesus was crucified was on a Wednesday.

Moses Predicts Christ Death, Burial and Resurrection in the Feast:  

Through the Feast of the Lord Moses paints a picture of Christ’s first and second coming. Moses predicts Christ would die on Passover Nisan 14th, be buried of the feast of Unleavened Bread Nisan 15th, and rise on the feast of FirstFruits Nisan 18th.
