HOLY
WEEK
in
commemoration of
The
Great --- and Final --- Passover
.
CHRIST our Passover+
is sacrificed for us;
therefore, let us keep the feast.
not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven
of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread
of purity (Gk) and truth.

Corinthians 5:7,8

.
The Crucifixion
... on "Good" Wednesday
.
The LORD JESUS had sanctified the
Bread and the Cup as His+ Body and Blood for the disciples.
.
HE+ had taken the Cup --- perhaps,
His+ own Cup --- and passed it around at the Table, telling His+ disciples to
divide it among themselves.
.
His+ prayers in the Garden of
Gethsemane along with His+ first drops of blood, shed in agony, were finished.
.
The mockery of a trial by the
unrighteous authorities, both civilian and religious, had been endured, along
with the bruising dealt HIM+ by the goyim, the unclean.
.
Some more of His+ Blood was shed.
.
The crown
of thorns pierced His+ brow.
.
More
shedding of that Precious Blood.
.
Then the scourging, with leather
whips embedded with metal and sharp objects, was administered by the men of
war. At this point His+ Blood was flowing . The skin on His+ backside was in tatters.
Very likely His+ arms and legs felt the lash as well; the Romans were not known
to be gentle.
.
And HE+ had not come to the Cross yet.
.
Crucifixion would have taken place
( on our Wednesday ) at the hour of the morning
sacrifice in the Temple, the 3rd hour ... our 9 a.m.
.
As the LAMB+ of GOD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST fulfilled the entire pattern presented to Israel in the Temple
sacrifices, for they were precisely ordained of old for this reason exactly.
.
This Carpenter, this LAMB+ of GOD,
had likely carried many a beam of wood hewn from the forest. Likely HE+ had
walked many a mile in His+ 3.5 years of ministry. HE+ was hardy.
.
After His+ Agony, His+ bruisings,
His+ scourging, The LAMB+ was so depleted of blood, of His+ natural strength,
that HE+ could not carry the beam of His+ Cross and walk a mile. It would seem HE+ had super-natural strength,
though, or else medical shock would have set it.
.
Thus, they crucified the SON+ of
GOD. All the unclean... the unclean goyim...
the unclean religious leaders ... the unclean public who cried with insatiable
lust for blood:
.
" Crucify HIM+ ! "
" Crucify HIM+ ! "
.
HE+ Who+
showed mercy, had none given to HIM+.
.
.
Thus, at 9 a.m., mid-week, the day
before a High Holy Sabbath, they crucified our LORD JESUS CHRIST at the time of
the morning sacrifice in the Temple.
.
His+ words
recorded were:
.
" FATHER,
forgive them,
for they know not
what they do."
..
Do we
suppose The FATHER answered this prayer ?
.
At noon, the 6th hour, the world
went dark. It was a darkness which could be felt and NO... it was NOT an
eclipse. None had been recorded by the astronomers. Only darkness was recorded
as HE+ endured the agonies of the Cross.
.
The world is going to go dark
again soon as we prepare for His+ return to planet earth and this time, with a DIVINE
ROD of IRON.
.
The Agony of the Cross
.
Let's look at some of it. It is
written that every muscle in the body of a crucified victim locks into a muscle
spasm. We call them "a charlie horse."
.
Normally, it is only one
painful muscle which tightens and locks. Normally, it is over in minutes. HIS+
lasted hours, and there was no pulling out of them. It affected His+ entire
body.
.
Then, at the 9th hour ... 3 p.m.
our time ... HE+ said,
.
" It is finished, FATHER;
into Thy Hands
I+ commend My+ Spirit."
.
As HE+ gave the sop to Judas at
the Table, the LORD JESUS gave permission to be crucified to the Unclean.
HE+ set in motion the final act to do His+ Heavenly FATHER'S will, a plan that
was agreed upon before the foundation of the earth, Revelation 13:8.
.
HE+ did the Will of The FATHER
to bring many sons to HIM.
.
As it is written:
For it became HIM,
for Whom are all things,
and by Whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory,
to make
the Captain+ of their Salvation
perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews 2:10
.
As it is written:

for Whom are all things,

the Captain+ of their Salvation
perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews 2:10
.
The count-down of three days and
three nights HE+ would spend in the heart of the earth began.
.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
.
Night one
in the heart
of the earth.

.
Worthy is the LAMB+
that was slain
from the foundation
of the world.
