Redeemed by Yeshua

Good Friday blessings to all the Redeemed of Yeshua. The final and only perfect atonement was and is Emmanuel, God with us, God for us. #GoodFriday #Easter #Passover

@elie1757 @Quincun36705461 It was the Passover Sedar - Bible is very clear on that. However it was and is “A New Covenant” in Jesus’ name, ushering in what we call Holy Communion. Jesus became the Passover Lamb, thus ending the requirement for animal sacrifice to atone for sin. Jesus is our atonement.

La « Cène » n'est pas née dans le christianisme, c'était la Pâque juive. Jésus-Christ était juif. Il a vécu comme juif et cette nuit-là… il célébrait la Pâque ! On ne peut falsifier l'histoire logtemps....

@magassad1 @BrotherRasheed I believe Scripture, not false teachers who twist Scripture to say what they want it to say. There is no Scriptural doubt that Yahweh made an Irrevocable Covenant with his people Israel. Separate from the New Covenant of Salvation in Jesus Christ.

If Passover Sedar: Wed after sunset;crucified after sunrise=Thurs, buried before or at sunset (D1); sunset- sunrise(N1)=(Thurs-Fri); sunrise -sunset(D2)=Fri; sunset- sunrise (N2) =Fri-Sat; sunrise-sunset= Sat(D3); sunset-sunrise (N3)=Sat/Sun). Resurrection =Sun. before sunrise

@Ihunanya_chi Never been able to squeeze 3 days & nights between Friday & Sunday before sunrise. Counting Friday & Saturday as 3 nights makes no sense. Bible states the women went to the grave “while it was still dark”. Jesus resurrected BEFORE SUNRISE.

Title: **Why Jesus Was Buried Before Sunset: Jewish Law, Prophecy, and Divine Timing** The burial of Jesus Christ was carried out with unusual urgency. The Gospels repeatedly emphasize that His body was taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb before sunset. At first reading, this may appear to be a mere historical detail, but when understood through Jewish law, feast days, and prophetic symbolism, it reveals a profound mystery of divine order and fulfillment. Nothing about Jesus death, burial, or resurrection happened by chance. Even the timing of His burial was governed by God’s covenantal design. In Jewish law, the treatment of the dead was a serious matter, especially in relation to holiness and ceremonial purity. Deuteronomy 21:22–23 commanded that a body hung on a tree must not remain overnight, but must be buried the same day, “so that you do not defile the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.” For Jews, leaving a corpse exposed overnight brought defilement upon the land, and on a holy day such defilement was unthinkable. Jesus, having been crucified, fell under this command. Though He was innocent, the Law still applied to His body. The urgency was intensified because the day of His death was the preparation day for the Sabbath. Jewish days begin at sunset, not midnight. As soon as the sun set, the Sabbath would begin, and no work could be done. The Gospels are careful to note that this Sabbath was not an ordinary one, but a high Sabbath, because it coincided with the Passover festival. In Jewish culture, Passover was the most sacred remembrance of God’s deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt. To allow a crucified body to remain exposed during such a holy time would have been a serious violation of the Law. This explains why Joseph of Arimathea acted quickly and courageously. As a respected member of the Jewish council, he went to Pilate and asked for Jesus body. This act itself is significant. Touching a dead body would render him ceremonially unclean, preventing him from participating in Passover rituals. Yet Joseph was willing to bear this cost to honor Jesus. His urgency was not only compassion but obedience to Jewish law and reverence for God’s holiness. The timing of Jesus burial also carries deep prophetic meaning. Throughout the Old Testament, God’s redemptive acts were marked by precise timing. Jesus died during Passover, at the very hour when Passover lambs were being slaughtered. Paul later writes that Christ is our Passover Lamb who has been sacrificed for us. Just as the lamb was killed and prepared before nightfall, so Jesus, the true Lamb of God, completed His sacrifice before the beginning of the holy day. Burial before sunset also ensured that Jesus rested in the tomb on the Sabbath. In Jewish understanding, the Sabbath is a day of rest that mirrors God’s rest after creation. By resting in the tomb on the Sabbath, Jesus fulfilled this pattern. His work of redemption, like God’s work of creation, was complete. When Jesus cried out on the cross, “It is finished,” He declared the completion of His redemptive work. The Sabbath rest that followed was not inactivity, but sacred completion. There is also a powerful symbolic parallel between creation and new creation. God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Jesus labored through suffering, death, and sacrifice, and then rested in the grave on the seventh day. On the first day of the new week, He rose again, inaugurating new creation. Jewish readers would recognize this rhythm of work, rest, and renewal. Furthermore, burial before sunset prevented Jesus body from corruption, fulfilling Psalm 16:10, which says God would not allow His Holy One to see decay. By being buried promptly and rising on the third day, Jesus body never experienced decay, further confirming Him as the promised Messiah. The speed of the burial also explains why the women did not fully anoint Jesus body at that time. There was simply not enough time before sunset. They planned to return after the Sabbath, which is why they came to the tomb early on the first day of the week, only to find it empty. What they intended to complete, God had already completed through resurrection. For us today, the burial of Jesus before sunset teaches something important: God works according to His appointed times. Every moment of Christ’s passion aligned perfectly with Scripture, Jewish law, and divine purpose. Even what seemed like urgency and limitation was actually precision and fulfillment.

Down the cross stood also a centurion who marveled greatly at the scene when Jesus breathed His last and the sun turned into darkness. When the earth quaked and the veil of the tabernacle was torn into two,the Roman soldier confessed " certainly, this was a righteous man" and gave glory to God. There are many through sincere observation of the righteousness of Christ and also His Children's, believe the gospel.

@Ihunanya_chi Beautifully written! Praise God for how He speaks eternal messages through symbolic events, imagery, poems & songs. So much more depth of understanding when we read Scripture from the Hebrew exegesis! Thank you!❤️🙏✝️

Title **The Two Thieves on Either Side of Jesus: A Hidden Picture of Judgment and Mercy** At the crucifixion of Jesus, the Gospels record a striking scene that is often read quickly but rarely explored deeply: Jesus was crucified between two criminals, one on His right and one on His left. On the surface, this appears to be a simple historical detail, emphasizing the humiliation of Christ. But when viewed through Jewish culture, Old Testament patterns, and covenant symbolism, this scene reveals a profound mystery about judgment, mercy, and the purpose of the cross. Roman crucifixion was designed to shame. By placing Jesus between two criminals, the authorities intended to present Him as no different from violent offenders. Isaiah had foretold this centuries earlier, saying that the Messiah would be “numbered with the transgressors.” To a Jewish reader, this was not coincidence but fulfillment. Jesus, the innocent One, was deliberately positioned in the place of sinners, physically and spiritually identifying with those He came to save. In Jewish theology, placement carries meaning. Right and left are not random positions. Throughout Scripture, the right side symbolizes favor, authority, and blessing. Kings placed honored guests at their right hand, and God Himself is described as exalting the righteous to His right. The left side, by contrast, is often associated with judgment and separation. When Jesus told parables about final judgment, He spoke of sheep on the right and goats on the left. To Jewish ears, these positions spoke loudly. On the cross, one thief was on Jesus right and the other on His left. Both were equally guilty under Roman law. Both were suffering the same punishment. Yet their responses to Jesus were radically different. One mocked Him, demanding rescue without repentance. The other acknowledged his guilt, recognized Jesus innocence, and made a humble plea: “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” This moment is not just personal repentance, it is covenant recognition. The repentant thief acknowledges Jesus as King, even while He hangs on a cross. This scene echoes one of the most sacred rituals in Jewish worship: the Day of Atonement. On that day, two goats were chosen. Lots were cast, and though the animals were identical, their destinies were completely different. One goat was sacrificed for sin. The other, the scapegoat, was released into the wilderness, carrying away the guilt of the people. Two similar figures, two very different outcomes, determined by God’s purpose. At Calvary, this pattern appears again. Two criminals, alike in guilt, hang beside Jesus. One experiences judgment. The other experiences mercy. Jesus stands in the center, the true sacrifice, bearing sin for both. The cross becomes the ultimate Day of Atonement, where judgment and mercy meet in one moment, and eternal destinies are revealed not by works but by response to Christ. The words Jesus spoke to the repentant thief are among the most powerful in Scripture: “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” In Jewish thought, “today” emphasizes immediacy and certainty. There is no delay, no probation. Salvation is granted by grace through faith. The thief had no time to perform good works, observe rituals, or make restitution. His salvation rested entirely on his recognition of Jesus identity and his trust in Him. This would have shocked religious listeners who believed salvation was earned through law-keeping. Yet it perfectly aligned with God’s promise of mercy for the humble and repentant. The mocking thief, however, represents another side of human response. He sees Jesus but does not recognize Him. He hears Jesus but does not submit. His demand is self-centered, seeking escape without repentance. In Jewish wisdom literature, pride is consistently portrayed as the barrier to grace. The thief’s rejection is not due to lack of opportunity but hardness of heart. This scene also reveals a deeper truth about the nature of judgment. Both thieves were equally close to Jesus physically, but only one was close to Him spiritually. Proximity to holiness does not guarantee transformation. This was a familiar warning in Jewish teaching, especially for those who trusted in religious status rather than repentance. By placing Jesus between the two thieves, God visually proclaimed the heart of the gospel. Humanity stands divided. All are guilty. All face death. But the response to Christ determines the outcome. Jesus does not force salvation. He offers it, even in His final moments, to anyone who will believe. The cross, therefore, is not only a place of suffering, it is a courtroom, an altar, and a throne. Judgment is rendered, mercy is extended, and a King is revealed. The two thieves stand as living parables, embodying the two possible responses to Jesus that continue to exist today.

@OliLondonTV Which faith? Certainly not Christian.

King Charles is the ‘Defender of the Faith’. ✝️ He is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. ⛪️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 But he won’t record an Easter message this year. Meanwhile, he always has time for another religion…

@KatKanada_TM @grok In Biblical times, Scripture didn’t have Chapters and verses, so if you wanted to reference a Scripture, you would quote the first verse in the section. In this case, Jesus was telegraphing a Messianic Scripture which ends by saying Psalm 22:30-31

Jesus quoted the first line of Psalm 22 (which you just posted), a prophetic psalm written centuries earlier that vividly describes the Messiah's crucifixion: pierced hands and feet, garments divided by lots, mocking crowds, bones out of joint—all matching the Gospel accounts. At that moment of bearing humanity's sins, he expressed real anguish and separation. Yet the full psalm shifts to victory: God hears the cry, delivers, and draws all nations to worship. Jesus pointed to scripture's fulfillment, not abandonment.

MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME! (Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani) Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. “He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.” Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me.  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce[e] my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you[f] I will fulfill my vows. The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him— may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive. Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

As always, Ayaan gets it right. @Ayaan

@IsraelinUK @MorningInUSA123 A scene from the Book of Revelation, being realized in real time.

Imagine if someone fired a cluster missile at central London. What would your reaction be? Right now, the Islamic regime is doing exactly that. The Islamic regime has 4000 km missiles that can hit London. It is doing it now in Tel Aviv, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and throughout the region.

Let me show you how this works: It’s Friday morning. You’re in America. Coffee in hand. Half-awake. Scrolling. A headline hits you: “America/Israel bombs residential building, 20 civilians killed, including 5 children.” (These numbers are imaginary) Your stomach drops. You glance at your kid. Or think about your nieces and nephews. Now you’re not just reading anymore, you’re feeling anger, rage, disgust. By the time you get to work, the story has already settled in your mind as truth. At lunch, you bring it up. Your coworkers nod. Of course they do. Why wouldn’t they? It sounds real. Now five more people carry that same anger. They go home. They repeat it. To friends. To family. Online. Just like that, one headline becomes thousands of convictions. But here is what never made it into that headline what you did not see, what no one bothered to check: It wasn’t America. It wasn’t Israel. It was a failed missile fired by the IRGC that fell on its own people. And by the time the truth shows up, if it ever does, the damage is already done. This is what an information war looks like in real time.

How dare you twist Holy Scripture, you antichrist. How dare you even mention Good Friday. It is blasphemy from the lips of a religion that denies Jesus death and resurrection. You call down curses upon yourself. So be it.

@NYCMayor How dare you twist Holy Scripture, you antichrist. How dare you even mention Good Friday. It is blasphemy from the lips of a religion that denies Jesus death and resurrection. You call down curses upon yourself. So be it.

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.
