It may not have been called Easter, but He certainly did celebrate that day.
On that we can agree.

and good friday, holy saturday and easter sunday are found nowhere in scripture.
The designations are mans fabrication but the days are found there. No one in Jerusalem knew what an "Easter" was at that time. They celebrated Passover. Good Friday was Preparation Day for our Lord. Now who knows what a High Sabbath is (without looking it up) for extra points?

He was laid in the tomb on the preparation day-

He ‘rested’ on the Sabbath day, in the tomb.

even in death, He observed the Sabbath..

I know exactly how the Father’s calendar works.

Ezekiel 46 gives us the template.
new moon day, six work days, Sabbath.

That template was taught to Israel in the wilderness.

that is why the 15th days of the 1st and 7th months are ‘Sabbaths’ in scripture.
and why Israel’s first and second Sabbaths in the wilderness (exodus 16), occurred on the 22nd and 29th days of His 2nd month.

that is a pattern that can be found and followed..

and when that pattern is followed, Rome’s pattern gets exposed..

His Feasts dont change. but rabbis will move them around when they conflict with Rome’s saturday-
which is exactly what Daniel predicted..

The Father’s calendar fits the Savior’s major life events (birth, circumcision, dedication in temple, baptism, death, burial rest, resurrection)
and each of those events landed on either His New Moon Day, His Sabbath or His Feasts.

that is something Rome cant teach. but scripture and knowledge of the Father’s calendar can teach..
rome just counterfeits them.

which is why some call satan a master counterfeiter..

The feast days change because (#1)the earth does not rotate around the sun an exact time period from year to year which accounts for leap year on the Gregorian calendar (2) the Jewish calendar is a modified lunar cycle calendar which also needs tweaks. I speculate that the earths rotation was 360 days around the sun and without the "wobble" we now have before the flood but that is mere conjecture on my part. I seriously doubt the Gregorian calendar or Rome are the reasons for any change on the rabbis part.

everything you posted for ‘friday’ occurred on Passover, the 14th day of our Father’s 1st month.

what happens when Passover is on a Monday like Jews observed it in 2014?

you accept Rome’s calendar as the same as the Father’s calendar.
It is not, and Ezekiel 46 can prove it.

His calendar has New Moon Days, 6 work days and the Sabbaths.
that totals 8, not 7.

Our Sovereign separated New Moon Days from His 6 Work Days and His 7th day Sabbath.
Rome’s calendar doesnt do this.

it is why Passover appears to ‘float’ around the world’a calendar,
Passover never floats around His. It is always the 14th day.
and it can land on any one of the world’s ‘days’ of their week.

what you say I ‘miss’ is not a ‘miss’ at all because I understand the Father has a calendar that has three types of days ( new moons, 6 work, sabbath) as opposed to Rome’s calendar that has only two types of days (6 work days, sabbath)

the new moon day, ignored by Rome, is a day that proves that there is not a continuous seven day week since the beginning of time.

christendom could teach that truth to the world if they understood scripture speaks of His birth on a New Moon Day, which isnt one of His 6 work days or His Sabbath.

you and I start with different premises. you accept the premise the world’s calendar is ‘biblical’.

I do not..

I accept the premise Rome has changed times and laws while appearing ‘biblical’.

You do not.

but yet I can also stipulate that Rome gets the ‘6th/7th/1st day ‘tempate’ correct as opposed to those who say He spent 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb.

they just have changed the days and have rendered the genuine biblical days of passover, unleavened bread and first fruits as ‘jewish’ only, when those are the actual, biblical/scriptural days.

It is Rabbi’s acceptance of rome’s calendar that exactly blinds them to His Sabbafh and His Feasts.

Rome has a continuous 7 day week and the world trusts them.

The Father has calendar that has a ‘New Moon Day’ each month. That New Moon day is one of His appointed times (moeds) that He taught Israel.

it is why scripture reads , on the 15th day, as opposed to it was the 265th day.

Ezekiel 46 shows our Sovereign doesnt treat New moon days as one of the 6 work days or the Sabbath. If He did, He would have instructed Ezekiel to write 5 instead of 6 ‘working days’ , so that the total would equal 7.

He didnt do it. and because of that, a calendar emerges that shows Rome’s continuous 7 day week is counterfeit.

religion has no answer for that oddity.
scripture does. and the Savior’s very life can tell the story that judaism and christendom have been deceived.

I can say boldly the Savior was born on one of those New Moon Days.
revelation 12 gives us the sign in the heavens.
the woman, clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet.
that sign occured on september 26 in 2014.
that should have been the true jewish ‘Trumpets’ Rosh Hashanah but because their Yom Kippur would have fallen on a sunday and that would have conflicted with their saturday pope appointed sabbath, ‘trumpets’ was moved back so they could have the ‘annual sabbath’ of ym kippur land on the pope’s saturday.

nobody will see this if the new moon day is just another one the six work days, like Rome teaches.

you mention the ‘wobble’. that ‘sign’ wont be on september 26 next year, nor was it then 2000 years ago, and that truth and the precession of the equinox, tells a story that we should expect from the Word made flesh!

If we keep in mind Ezekiel’s template, each event landed on an appointed day.

His birth on the New Moon Day of the 6th month.
His circumcision on the ‘8th’ day of the month ( which is the 7th day Sabbath- new moon (1), 6 work (2-7) , sabbath (8)

His dedication in the temple, 40 days after birth, per law, would have fallen on the 10th day of the 7th month- The annual Sabbath , Day of Atonement.

His baptism is hinted at being on His 30th birthday, which would be a New Moon Day, which is followed by an immediate 40 days ‘purification’ which shadows what His mother was required to do after His birth.

we can see plainly He laid His life down on Passover.
rested, obeying the Sabbath, even in death, on Feast of Unleavened Bread
and raised from the grave on Feast of First Fruits.

we also have the gift of the Holy Spirit occuring on His Feast of Weeks.

all of that, thanks to Ezekiel’s template that can be shown to be genuine truth.

Rome’s calendar, when held to the Light, is shown to be counterfeit.

just like a cashier holds a bill up to the light to see if its phony, maybe people have accepted too much of the world’s systems and havent held them up to the light..

prove all things..
