A Chronology of Jesus’ Last Days!

Recently I wrote several blogs about the Seventy Weeks Prophecy. In order for my conclusions to be true there, Jesus’ crucifixion had to have occurred upon a Wednesday. Therefore, it may be profitable at this point to understand the chronology of the events of Christ’s final week of ministry upon this earth. In so doing I hope to show Jesus was not crucified upon Friday, as is traditionally held. The 1260 days mentioned in Daniel 12 (time, times and half a time) will hold up in the study of the prophecy no matter which day is chosen (Friday or Wednesday), because the 1260 days lie between the fixed dates of the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles (27 AD) and the Passover Day, when Jesus was crucified, three and one half years later (31 AD). Both the 1335 days and the 2300 days (or more properly—evenings and mornings) begin on a fixed date but end on the day of Pentecost which is a variable date depending on the date of the Sunday between the two Sabbath Holy Days of the Passover season. The 1290 days begin on that particular Sunday and end on the Day of Atonement three and one half years later at the execution of Stephen (34 AD). If anyone wishes to see this study, simply click upon the appropriate title on the bar across the top of my blog. In any case, if my study concerning this prophecy is true, the crucifixion must have occurred upon a Wednesday, but do the Scriptures support such an understanding? I believe they do, as I hope to show in this next series of posts to my blog.
