“God’s Timing Is So Perfect”
____________________
“…
Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from
the
the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord? And
there is no God
apart from me, a righteous God and Savior; there
is none but me.”
Isaiah 45:21

According to the dates
and times published by the USNO, a new moon
occurred on the same night as the Equinox in A.D.
30. (Jerusalem local time for the new moon was 8
p.m. and for the Equinox, midnight.) Since a new
moon and the Equinox occurred on the same day, a
new month and a new year began on Wednesday
night, March 22, Universal Time. Converting
Universal Time to Bible Time: Wednesday night,
March 22 becomes Thursday, March 23 and Nissan 1.
This translation is necessary because a day in
God’s calendar begins at sundown. (Genesis
1; Leviticus 23:32) Notice in the New Moon
calendar (Chart 6.8) that New Year’s day
(Nissan 1) occurred on Thursday and Passover
(Nissan 15) occurred on a Thursday in A.D. 30.
If Jesus and His
disciples observed Passover according to the new
moon calendar, Chart 6.8 indicates that Jesus and
His disciples ate the Passover together on
Thursday night at midnight. (Remember, in
God’s calendar, the night precedes the
light.) We know that God required the Jews to
slay the Passover lamb near sundown on Nissan 14.
(Exodus 12:6) In this case, the disciples killed
the paschal lamb about sundown on Wednesday
afternoon and they roasted it until about
midnight on Thursday, Nissan 15. Jesus and His
disciples then celebrated the Passover, for it
was at midnight that the Lord passed over Egypt.
(Exodus 11:4) Take a few moments and study the
Passion Week Outline. Notice how each of the
gospel writers describe the course of events in
their order:
