I enjoyed your article and it is much food for thought. But not once did you cover John’s point of it being a Sabbath High Day John 19:31. Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away………. So in researching I found ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Definition of a High Sabbath…..“High Sabbath” (sometimes referred to as a “High Day” or “Special Sabbath”) generally denotes a Sabbath that coincides with one of the annual biblical feasts. In addition to the standard weekly Sabbath that falls on the seventh day of the week (Exodus 20:8-11), there are also festival Sabbaths designated by Yahweh as holy convocations (Leviticus 23:2). These specific days of rest and worship-occurring during feasts such as Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Tabernacles-bear unique significance in the Jewish calendar. High Sabbaths can overlap with the regular weekly Sabbath or occur separately, depending on the calendar year. Thus, a High Sabbath is any Sabbath that marks a major festival or feast day, making it distinct from the routine seventh-day Sabbath. …… So how does a High Sabbath figure in to your calculations????
