Did Yeshua Messiah
change the time and manner in which the Passover
should be observed? The Jews have always kept
Passover on Nisan 15.
Did Yeshua
substitute what Sha’ul [Paul] coined as the Lord’s
Supper on Nisan 13 as
the new date for Passover observance? … after
which date He was crucified and died at the ninth
hour [3:00 PM] of Nisan 14 when the Jews were
slaying thousands of Passover lambs on the
Preparation day (John
19:31).
The scriptural chronologies of the Old
and New Covenant Passovers answers to these
questions. The following reveals the timing of
the events during both Moses’
and Yeshua’s time.
