Hi:

I'm glad you are trying to figure out when Jesus was crucified.

I worked on the birth and crucifixion many years. I think Jesus was crucified Thursday, April 6, 30 AD, Nisan 13, 3790. He was crucified on the preparation of the Passover 40 years before Jerusalem was destroyed..
The year 33 won't work. 70 AD - 40 = 30 AD.

My work is already on My website and on Five Doves. Try the URLs below. This may not be all of them, but a search on Google turned up these.

If you have questions, let me know.

"NISAN 17/ THEME: NEW BEGINNINGS"
The below analysis is from notes I prepared to just 'send' to myself after I conducted a comprehensive study on this subject. Therefore, please pardon the punctuation and maybe the spelling. I think I have the dates correct.

I have long felt that 33 AD was the correct year of the crucifixion of Jesus. However, the calendar 'experts' say that in that year Nisan 14 was on a Friday. That would make the day of the Resurrection Sunday, Nisan 16 and the next day, Monday, Nisan 17. That ''typology'' just does not fit.

All Types of Nisan 17 in the Old Testament show that Nisan 17 is a date of ''new beginnings''. Putting the New Testament chronology together re the week of the Crucifixion with the Old Testament types results in the below conclusions.

I would appreciate any responses, either pro or con.

Some items to consider that I found out in my studies are these:

1) The weekly Sabbath evidently allowed no work.....period.
2) The High Day Sabbaths, such as Nisan 15, allowed no 'servile' work only. Servile work would be as in working for an employer.
3) At least one of the gospel writers uses the phrase ''after the SabbathS........ie plural use of the word Sabbath. There was the weekly Sabbath and the High Day Sabbath....the week of the crucifixion of Jesus.
4) I have proven to my satisfaction that the ''morrow after the Sabbath during the days of Unleavened Bread'' is referring to the Weekly Sabbath or Saturday. Thus Sunday would Always be the ''morrow after the Sabbath''.
5) It seems clear that Sunday, the day after the (weekly Sabbath) during the week of the crucifixion was the day of the Resurrection of Jesus and also the Feast of Firstfruits which began the  50 day count to Pentecost.
6) Jewish understanding of days and nights is assumed below, with the night the start of the date and the daylight portion coming next...........just as mentioned in Genesis ch 1 , ''the night and morning were the first day''.

Notes are below:



Consider this. Noah's ark rested on Nisan 17. This is per the text in Genesis.

Look at joshua 5.

They kept the passover .........this would have been the 14th of nNisan....and the text of Joshua 5 so indicates this.

The day after the 14th they 'ate of the prodduce/grain of the land.....the old grain that they found in the abandoned land since all the inhabitants had fled to Jericho ....thus the riches of the gentiles were laid up for the righteous. this would have been on the 15th of nisan.

on the next day.........all in joshua 5..... the manna ceased. this would have been nisan 16. if u say the rain stopped on ''saturday'' then that means it did not rain that day. so since they had the old grain of the land, the manna ceased on the 16th of nisan.

''and they ate of the NEW fruit of the land the next day////implied''.............see joshua 5.

nisan 17 seems to have a ''theme'' of deliverance and entering a new environment.

noah's ark rested on the 17th of nisan. noah had entered a ''new world''.

Israel ate the Firstfruits of the land on the 17th of nisan after entering the Promised land. This fits with Sunday being the Feast of Firstfruits. It is my opinion that this OT typology in Joshua 5 lines up with the week of the crucifixion of Jesus regarding the days of the week.

Jesus was resurrected on Nisan 17.....thus starting the New Creation. In fact, it was on this same day, Sunday Nisan 17 that Jesus breathed ''into''....Greek... and they became a New Creation. See John 20/21.

re joshua 5 consider this as a type of the week of the cross of Jesus.

on Thursday, nisan 14 they 'kept the passover'.

On the day after they ate of the old grain of the land, this would have been on Friday nisan 15.

on the following day, Saturday , nisan 16 the manna ceased. why? they were eating of the old grain left behind. this was the sabbath. on friday they would have had 2 days of manna for friday and sabbath.....anyway.

Thus no manna fell on that Sabbath. It ''ceased'', just as God ''ceased'' all His work on the Sabbath in Genesis.......ie He did not work on the Sabbath. So no manna fell on the Sabbath.

thus the manna would not have fallen on the sabbath anyway.

then ''after that'' they ate of the new fruit of the land!
why? because on sunday ''the morrow after the sabbath/the weekly sabbath, during the days of unl. bread'' it was ''legal'' to eat of the FIRSTFRUITS OF THE LAND.

that would be nisan 17 or sunday.

now what does all this mean?

it means that on nisan 14 Jesus was slain. and it means that nisan 17..........by the law of typology was the day of the Firstfruits.........'the morrow after the (weekly) sabbath' and also the day of the resurrection.

So..........this means the crucifixion of Jesus was on Thursday Nisan 14. the next day, friday nisan 15 was the high holy day, first day of Unl Bread. the next day was saturday /sabbath of nisan 16. and thus Sunday morning the 17th of nisan was the day of the resurrection.

so whatever year the above lined up with, was the year of the crucifixion. from what i have read, this was the case in 32 ad.

also..........if the above is not enough, consider the ''first mention'' of passover in Exodus 12-14 when israel left egypt.

the lamb was slain on the late afternoon of the 14th of nisan. that night started nisan 15 and they ate of the lamb as the ''passover'' death angel passed over egypt. This is ''why'' the Jews celebrate Nisan 15 for the Passover..........it is when the death angel passed over. Yet it was on Nisan 14 that the lamb was slain, and it is called the 'Lord's' Passover.

It is best and easier when studying the Passover to think of it as a Feast or Meal. The meal was prepared on the 14th when the lamb/Jesus was slain. The meal/lamb/Jesus was 'eaten' on the night of the 15th of Nisan. It is ''proper'' to call Nisan 14 the Passover and it is proper for the Jews to call Nisan 15 the Passover since on that day(the night portion) the death angel Passed Over Egypt


pharoah got up that very night at midnight, the 15th of nisan and told moses to get out immediately. the departure therefore started on the 15th of nisan early in the morning........Numbers 33 confirms that ''israel left egypt on the 15th of Nisan''. double check.

they left from Rameses.............went to Succoth....i believe this is where the bones of Joseph were.........picked up the bones and went to the next town....Etham and ''encamped'' there. this would have been the night of the 16th of nisan. note it does not say in Exodus that they 'encamped' at succoth........but just went there.

the next day, still the 16th of nisan/day portion/ they departed and went to Migal and encamped there. the night now began and it became the 17th of nisan. pharoah and his armies had by now came after them and caught up with them.

the night of nisan 17 God caused a strong wind to blow and the waters were divided. the NEXT MORNING.............the text in Exodus says specifically that God looked down.......in the morning...!.....and saw the egyptians.....israel crossed the red sea on that Sunday morning the 17th of nisan.......and it happened in the morning and pharoah and his army were drowned in the sea............all in the morning.............just as Jesus was raised the morning of Sunday, nisan 17.

Nisan 17 by typology has the theme of new beginnings.

Israel passed thru the red sea and entered a new life in the wilderness.

Joshua and israel entered the promised land and ate the Firstfruits on Nisan 17, entering a new environment of the promised land.

Jesus was therefore raised on the feast of firstfruits , nisan 17, sunday.

this makes the day of the cross nisan 14, on a Thursday.
