At approximately 2-3pm, Jerusalem time, the order came down for the soldiers to break the legs of Y'shua/Jesus and the two thieves, in order to expedite their deaths, to get them off the crucifixion stakes, before Pesach / Passover began. However, when they came upon Y'shua/Jesus, he was already dead. They pierced his side, with a spear, to ensure his death.
When they pierced his side, water flowed out the wound. Modern pathologists indicate that this proves that Y'shua/Jesus died of a Ruptured Pericardial Effusion. Otherwise, he died of a Broken Heart.
This Broken Heart could have been a result of the stress of his Beating and Crucifixion or it could have been the fact that his people rejected his Father’s Scriptures and him as the Promised Moshiach Nagai, Messiah the King, therefore enacting the Suffering Messiah/Pesach/Passover Lamb Clause of the Torah Covenant.
By the way, the Roman Soldiers ended up not breaking his legs, thereby fulfilling the Pesach/Passover Lamb Covenant Requirement, found in Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12 and the Prophecy in Psalm 34:20.
Between 3-6pm, Y'shua/Jesus was laid to rest, in the grave of Joseph of Arimathea, as prophesied in Isaiah 53:9. Passover began at 6pm, sunset, on that day.
B’ruck Attah Y’shua B’shem Adonai Pesach Seh Elohim.
Blessed Are You, Y’shua, who came in the Name of the Lord, The Passover Lamb of God!!
Shalom and Chag Pesach Sameach!!

ReplyDeleteThank You!
DeleteIt is a lovely read Keith, as the previous lady has said, especially with the Hebrew language added.
ReplyDeleteThank You, Brenda.
DeleteI get a paper cut on a finger. Tiny little cut but hurts so bad! But I can't imagine the suffering our Lord had gone through. To be the sacrifice for the sins of world. He died from a broken heart and yet, with that condition, his heart bled of love and compassion to humanities. He died with open arms and many are still reluctant to accept his welcoming grace and love. Happy Passover to you bro. Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosel. Yes, it totally pains my heart when I think about it. When I was writing this post, I began to cry, thinking about the pain and agony he went through, a big Amen for what he did for us.
