Sunday 3-31-24 1st. Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Adar II Day 20 5784 13th. Day of Spring

Women visit tomb ("when it was yet dark"), discover that Jesus has already risen from the dead, Jesus meets Mary, and other women, Jesus meets two disciples on way to Emmaus meets with all disciples that evening.

Matthew 28:1-10

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Mark 16:1-14

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Luke 24:1-49, John 20:21:22.

Matthew 28:1-10

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

If there had been a great earthquake as the translators have suggested with their faulty translation of the Greek word, "seismos," then the earthquake would have been recorded. If however, this Greek word had been translated as "turmoil," then the fourth verse begins to make more sense.

How can an Angel coming down from heaven through the air cause an earthquake? That is impossible. However, for the guard at the tomb, there was great turmoil among them when they saw the Angel appear and roll the stone away from the mouth of the tomb.

This is also borne out in Matthew 27:54 which simply states: -

54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the "turmoil" and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!

The verses before tell us why their was great turmoil in the city of Jerusalem: -

Matt 27:50-53: - 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

51Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after "their" resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

I trust that this will help understand what happened during the time of the crucifixion.

CGE:
Matthew 28:1 IS the 'recording' of that "great earthquake" exactly on that "Sabbath Day" specifically simultaneous with the event of the stone's removal and Jesus' Resurrection, and purposely recorded at this climactic juncture in the narrative at the end of the document, and being Scripture Word of God, who wants more or better, but the unbeliever?

When Jesus died there was an earthquake, so that the graves opened, and so that the devil was cast down out of the heaven. Now that Christ ROSE from the dead, the seal of the door-stone was broken and cast away uphill from the grave, and while HE CAME UP OUT OF THE EARTH there was a great, earthquake.
<Turmoil>? What? "O that I may know Him and the POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION" "which God by the exceeding greatness of His Power Wrought When He RAISED Christ from the dead", God, who is the "God of order" and not of <turmoil>!

I am sure this view of yours, only helps misunderstand what happened <during the time of the crucifixion>, because Matthew, in so many words, when Jesus DIED, says in 1,52,53, "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit---"
"THEN there-and-then/immediately: Behold/Look there/See,
1.
the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and
2. the earth quaked and the rocks were split and
3. the graves were opened. Period
Parenthesis:

[[And many bodies of saints who had fallen asleep were raised and came out of their graves and went into the holy city and appeared to many after the Resurrection (of Jesus).]]

You may trust that this, was what had happened at the time of the Crucifixion first, and then what happened at the time of the Resurrection "on the third day He said: I rise", next.

Gerhard, I think that you have not followed my train of thought at all. This is how I believe Matt 27:50-54 should be understood.

Matthew 28:50-54: - 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit.

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked,[1] and the rocks were split, 52and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the turmoil[2] and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Wherever the Greek word “Seismos”, G:4578 or its variations, it is best understood to have the meaning of “Turmoil.”

Now in Matthew 28:1-4 the same argument can be made that there was great turmoil among the guard at the tomb because of the angel descending down from heaven to the earth. We also know that you cannot have an earthquake in the air as the angel descended. Below is how I would paraphrase verses 1-4 to show the context of this passage.

Matthew 28:1-4: - 1Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2And behold, there was great turmoil {among the guard at the tomb}; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4And the guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

I trust that you will consider the above.

Shalom

[1] The statement here, “and the earth quaked,” is describing the earthquake that occurred when Christ died. This is furthered confirmed with the statement, “and the rocks were split, which is the outcome that happens to rocks when the earth quakes.
[2] The Centurian who was guarding Christ at the crucifixion site, when he saw the turmoil in the people that was happening in Jerusalem and around him because Christ had died the people were confused because they had lost someone who they believed would liberate them from the control of the Roman empire.

3. “SABBATH” : RESURRECTION Abib 16


Friday EVENING : “Three days”, “the third day” of: BEGINNING:
Luke 23:50-56b “THEY BEGAN TO REST THE SABBATH according to the (Fourth) Commandment” “The third day I RISE” “The third day I FINISH”. NO Women, NO Man = Matthew 27:62 “Now the morning that followed which was the day after the Preparation (Sixth Day) the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch, 28:1however, late, in the end of the Sabbath as it began to dawn toward before the First Day of the week and Mary Magdalene and the other Mary set out to see the sepulchre, 2behold, there was a great earthquake! For the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and cast back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men (5 – answering the angel explained to the women).”

Week after:
Three Women “After the Sabbath was over”:
Mark 16:1 And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome, bought sweet spices so that they might come and anoint Him.”

Visits at the tomb “on the First Day of the week”
1) “Mary sees the stone removed”, “while being early darkness still”, dusk. Then Peter and John go to the tomb to see what Mary has told them.
2) John 20:1-10 “Earliest morning-darkness”, just after midnight, “the two women” (variant – the two Marys), “and certain others with them”, for the first time, “came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices they had prepared”. (Lk24:1) “They returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.” (“Then Peter stood up and ran to the tomb; and bending low over, he saw the linen clothes. He went back, wandering by himself about that what had happened.” (Lk24:9-12) Cf. John's account in 20:1-10. Luke talks of another visit by Peter, because for one thing, he doesn't mention John.)
3) These women to make sure, a second time came to the tomb “very early before sunrise”. (Mk16:2) 4) Mary from after the others had fled in fear (Mk16:8) “had had stood after without at the grave” (Jn20:11). At the time a gardener should begin work, sunrise, Jesus “early … first appeared to Mary”. (Mk16:9) 5) Soon after – after they a third time had visited the tomb and “the angel explained” to them what had happened during the Resurrection – Jesus appears to the other, women “as they went to tell his disciples”. (Mt28:5, 9)

Gerhard, I think that you have not followed my train of thought at all. This is how I believe Matt 27:50-54 should be understood.

Matthew 28:50-54: - 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit.

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked,[1] and the rocks were split, 52and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the turmoil[2] and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Wherever the Greek word “Seismos”, G:4578 or its variations, it is best understood to have the meaning of “Turmoil.”

Now in Matthew 28:1-4 the same argument can be made that there was great turmoil among the guard at the tomb because of the angel descending down from heaven to the earth. We also know that you cannot have an earthquake in the air as the angel descended. Below is how I would paraphrase verses 1-4 to show the context of this passage.

Matthew 28:1-4: - 1Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2And behold, there was great turmoil {among the guard at the tomb}; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4And the guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

I trust that you will consider the above.

Re: <there was great turmoil {among the guard at the tomb};>
You realize that you inserted < {among the guard at the tomb}>. There is nothing in the Text or Context of course! In fact, there is nothing in Text or Context of the ‘guard at the tomb’ AT THE TIME OF THE CRUCIFIXION. The guard was only placed “on the day which is after the Preparation”, which was “the third day He said I rise” on, and the Jews in their heart knew He would. So in their frenzy they asked Pilate to take every possible measure to prevent Jesus escape out of his grave. His grave was the Jews only hope to get rid of Jesus after they had killed Him but perfectly well knew that He was The Anointed of God AND WOULD RISE AGAIN. So Pilate gave order that the grave be guarded and sealed, which the Jews supervised in person and gave Pilate also some sense of relief. “Despite, later on – in the end of – the Sabbath, unexpectantly, THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE… and the guard struck by the appearance of the angel of the Lord fell unconscious LIKE DEAD.” — NO <turmoil among the guard>, as simple as that!

I strongly recommend not to depend too much on Strongs; it is not God’s Word like the Gospel of Matthew, on the contrary, is.

In fact, there is nothing in Text or Context of the ‘guard at the tomb’ AT THE TIME OF THE CRUCIFIXION. The guard was only placed “on the day which is after the Preparation”, which was “the third day He said I rise” on, and the Jews in their heart knew He would. So in their frenzy they asked Pilate to take every possible measure to prevent Jesus escape out of his grave. His grave was the Jews only hope to get rid of Jesus after they had killed Him but perfectly well knew that He was The Anointed of God AND WOULD RISE AGAIN. So Pilate gave order that the grave be guarded and sealed, which the Jews supervised in person and gave Pilate also some sense of relief. “Despite, later on – in the end of – the Sabbath, unexpectantly, THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE… and the guard struck by the appearance of the angel of the Lord fell unconscious LIKE DEAD.” — NO <turmoil among the guard>, as simple as that!

I strongly recommend not to depend too much on Strongs; it is not God’s Word like the Gospel of Matthew, on the contrary, is.

I have no problems with your rejection of what I have posted. However, from my reading I have reached the conclusion that "Seismos" should have been translated as "turmoil" in every case where G:4578 is found in the New Testament.

I tried to follow your link, but I was denied access and as such I was not able to read your translated version of the KJV bible.

It seems best that we agree to disagree.

Goodbye

Final defeat sealed, the worst of bad loosers' final words, go,
'We agree to disagree'.

Gerhard, I was accommodation your rebuttal without bad mouthing you. Yet, because I know how you react, I thought that it was better to simply say that we should agree to disagree so that we do not get into a mudslinging match. But I was wrong, and you have tried to start one. So go for it, but I am not wanting to join you in that.
