Would you PLEASE supply any evidence to back up your assertion that the Feast of Unleavened Bread is a Sabbath?

Your chronology isn’t hard to understand at all; It’s just difficult to belive. For starters, that the body of Christ would have been unattended for four days is beyond prepostrous.

Here’s the chronology:

3:00 Thursday: the lamb, signifying Christ, is killed for Jesus’ passover meal with his disciples.

Thursday evening: Christ shares his passover meal with his disciples, and is arrested, tried by the Sanhedrin, and imprisoned.

3:00 Friday: Christ dies on the Cross. He is removed, and entombed in the cave.

Saturday: Christ’s followers rest for the Sabbath

Sunday Morning (c. 6 AM): Christ’s followers discover he has risen.

In AD 33, there was a lunar (blood) eclipse rising at 3:00, Jerusalem time. This was the final year of Pilate’s reign. Passover coincided that year with the Sabbath.

Jesus was thus both raised from the dead three days and three nights after his life was forfeit, and, paradoxically, resurrected on the third day after he was killed by the Jews.

The main problem with this scenario is that if true, Jesus wasn't the messiah.

Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The only sign that Jesus gave was how long he would be in the grave. He would be in the grave the same amount of time that Jonah was in the fish. Three days and three nights. Jesus going into the grave on Friday afternoon and coming out of the grave before sunrise on Sunday does in no way, shape or form come close to 3 days AND 3 nights.
