Introduction.

To all 15th Passover Keepers

That the term "Passover" can be boiled down to the simple concept that God said to Moses that If the Israelites would obey his instructions then HE would do something for them.

That if the Israelites would kill a lamb in the later evening of the 14th day and put the blood on the doorposts of the house and eat the flesh in the night a few hours later then God would cause the death angel to Pass Over the Israelites when it would kill all of the first born of the Egyptians.

That in NT language if we accept that Christ lived a sin free life and that he died for our sins then in effect God has PASSED OVER our sins or Christ is our Passover.

We were keeping an early 14th Passover under HWA then when the doctrinal changes came i.e the acceptance of the Trinity etc we came out. Then I noticed that the foot washing was to be done AFTER the meal and not before so I realised that if this was wrong other doctrines could be as well

This is an attempt to unite all the 15th Passover keepers together. I am using the Authorised King James Version of the Bible ISBN 0-529-10225-0. There would be no controversy if people had done what God had commanded and studied all the scriptures, as an example Christ was put in Prison before the night of 14th.

So this removes some of the "previous night/evening" problems and the hair splitting between the two evenings problems.

Day is being defined as the rule of sunlight. So day starts with the rising of the sun and finishes when the sun has set. It must also be acknowleged that in Exodus 12, there is NO mention of the 15th night. However a minute amount of intelligence or the recognition of number sequence that is 1 is followed by 2 which is followed by 3 and so on will show that 14th day is followed by the 15th night as the following will show.

I will most probably end up using the 24 hour system that changes over at midnight to clarify points

It is also noted that this earths system is one of dynamics in that it is constantly changing. That the Passover is in the spring equinox, meaning that there is 12 hours in the night and 12 hours in the day. If you find any spelling errors let me know please.

NIGHT

We agree that the Passover night is the night of the 15th

That there was unleavened bread eaten with the lamb in the 15th night. Ex. 12:8

That on the night of the 15th there was a full moon. Being half way from waxing and waning

That the "Night to be much observed" Ex.12:42 is the 15th Passover night.

That NIGHT starts the sequence of night/day is shown by Acts 27:27--the fourteenth night, followed by Acts 27:33--fourteenth day. As I have said before when the sun has set a new night begins

That when Pharaoh called for Moses by NIGHT to tell him that the first born had died that Aaron and Moses went out at NIGHT because they knew that the death threat was now over. Ex.12:30,31.

That although Exodus 12 does NOT show it, that the unleavened bread first NIGHT, Ex. 12:8 is the Fifteenth night, because by sequence when the 14th day has finished then the next sequence when the sun has set is that of a new night, the Fifteenth night has started. A Fifteenth night will follow a Fourteenth day.

That God took the Israelites out by NIGHT is shown in Deut.16:1

That God produced a ninth plague where he caused DARKNESS to come on Egypt for 3 days so that in effect they suffered 72 hours of DARKNESS (night) and terrified the Egyptians. Ex.10:22

That Ex.10:16; Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste. Shows that Moses being the leader of the Israelites would have been living in close proximity to Pharaoh who lived in a house near a river in the city of Rameses. I am guessing about 1/2 hour away by walking. So that when Pharaoh wanted Moses, Pharaoh only had to send a horse with chariot out to drag Moses back in about 20 minutes. So that in the emergency of the NIGHT of the Passover when the death angel struck at midnight. Moses could have been with Pharaoh by 12:30 so that at 1 hour past midnight; the scene explodes with the Israelites moving out by chain reaction as Moses says "we are off, pass it on". After all, the Israelites had been waiting since the 1st hour of the night about 7PM while eating food in haste. They would have known what direction to go because this would have been preplanned.

That the URGENCY of the event is shown in Ex. 12:11 where the meal on the 15th NIGHT was to be eaten in HASTE with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand. That Pharaoh would THRUST the Israelis out hence altogether. Ex.11:1 and Pharaoh's servants would say Get thee out. Ex.11:8. That after midnight when all the first born were dead, that the Egyptians were URGENT upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in HASTE: for they said. We be all dead men. Ex.12:33. And that they were THRUST out of Egypt and COULD NOT TARRY. Ex.12:39.

That Numbers. 33:3 which states that on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow after the Passover--. Proves that the Passover was on the fifteenth night; that the night of the Passover was the night before the fifteenth day; that the Passover night was the same night of the Passover meal; that the first night to eat unleavened bread with the meal was the night before the fifteenth day of unleavened bread.

That the Sabbath NIGHT starts the night/day sequence is shown in Neh. 13:19--began to be dark before the Sabbath.

That NIGHT in its simplest form is where there is lack of LIGHT.

That it was the 15th night that the first born of the Egyptians died and that the first born of God i.e Christ was also dead many years later in the 15th night.

That if Christ was put in prison; Isaiah 53:8; that he was in there from about the ninth hour of the 13 day so that by the start of the 14th night he was in prison untill the following morning at sunrise where he had to try and carry his cross to Calvery.The authorities wanted him in there on the 14th night so that they knew exactly where he was because they wanted him dead. Christ was a difficult man to identify as he looked just like any other Jew of his day.

That when the sun has set on the Sabbath Day we are in fact going into the Night of the first 24 hours of the week. In modern times this is called Saturday night. But in Biblical terms it should be called SUN NIGHT followed by Sun DAY when the sun rises in the morning.

That when the cock crowed, Christ had spent some of the night in the High Priests House/Palace Matt. 26:69; Mark 14:54; Mark 15:66; Luke 22:54 and John 18:15. So at that time he was not in Prison.

That there is a break in the story line of the four Gospels is shown in Matt. 27:31 and 32; Mark 15:20 and 21; Luke 23:25 and 26; and John 19:16 and 17. That April 13th 2006 is the day of the full moon and first day of Unleavened bread.

That it says in Luke 23:25 that he deliverd Jesus to their will. Then we fill in the story line break. That the Roman soldiers then beat Jesus up so badly on that 14th night over a period of 12 hours that Jesus Christ could only just stand up. He certainly could not carry his cross. How do we know this? Because in Luke 23:26 it says: And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian--AND ON HIM THEY LAID THE CROSS, THAT HE MIGHT BEAR IT AFTER JESUS. Matt. 27:32; Mark 15:21; says they COMPELLED (Simon) to bear his cross. Christ most probably just held onto the cross at one point but was to weak to carry it. John 19:17. So where does the fill in story line come from. Is.52:14. As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more that the sons of men. Is. 53:8 He was taken From Prison--and cut off. I personally believe that God did not cause Christ to identify this 14th night because he does not want anyone to remember the HELL Christ was going through.

That in the book Judaism as Creed and Life by Morris Joseph page 213; it states at the bottom of the page. All the Jewish holy days, as well as the Sabbath, begin on the evening of the previous day, a usage based on Gen. i.5. I know what they mean, but Christians have become confused on this, as some say that the Sabbath begins in the previous evening, meaning the previous evening of the sabbath night.

Technically the Sabbath starts after the sun has set. This is because the preparation evening of the previous (Friday) day is not an integral part of the Sabbath. But if one wants a decent Sabbath NIGHT then one should have prepared for it in the Evening of the Friday. In sequence we have Friday Sunset; 12 hours of Sabbath NIGHT; sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening and then sunset.

That when the sixth day ended in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of Sabbath NIGHT; sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening and then sunset.Gen. 2:2

That when the fifth day ended Gen. 1:23 in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of the SIXTH NIGHT followed by sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening (12 hours of the SIXTH DAY) and then sunset. Gen. 1:31. It was on this sixth day of 12 hours that God created the animals and Male and Female. Then God said to them. Be fruitful and multiply and REPLENISH the earth. Gen. 1:28.

God spoke to the male and female face to face. How could God do this? It is because God in the form of the Word who became later Jesus Christ has the power to switch his power ON and Off. He could see the male and female because after he had switched HIS power off, he used the light power of the sun, he had created the SUN two days before on the fourth day of 12 hours. To the male and female in the garden of Eden he looked just like another human being Gen. 1:16.

That when the fourth day ended Gen. 1:19 in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of the FIFTH NIGHT followed by sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening (12 hours of the FIFTH DAY) and then sunset. Gen. 1:23. It was on this Fifth day that God created the fish of the sea amongst others and said to them. Be fruitfull and multiply. God spoke to the FISH face to face. How could God do this? It is because God in the form of the Word who became later Jesus Christ has the power to switch his power ON and Off. He could see the FISH because after he had switched HIS power off, he used the light power of the sun, he had created the SUN one day before on the fourth day of 12 hours. To the FISH in the sea he looked just like another human being.

That when the third day ended Gen. 1:13 in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of the FOURTH NIGHT followed by sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening (12 hours of the FOURTH DAY) and then sunset. Gen. 1:19. It was on this FOURTH DAY that God created for the first time the Sun moon and stars. No Gen.1:14 does not mention sun and moon. But Deut. 4:19 does. So God here demonstrates his VAST POWER. God is about 3 cubic feet in volume and from this volume he produces a VOLUME OF STARS so BIG that no man can measure it. Even if we said that the universe is TRILLIONS OF CUBIC LIGHT YEARS IN VOLUME. It is still not vast enough. God is a pin prick in volume compared to his creation. NOW people are going to say "But how did God create the sunset at the tail end of the third day." Quite simple my friend. God switched his own light power back on again at the start of the first day. So HIS sun light power had been on three days and three nights. HE WAS THE SUN. I am using EDEN as a referrence point.

That when the second day ended Gen. 1:8 in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of the THIRD NIGHT followed by sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening (12 hours of the THIRD DAY) and then sunset Gen. 1:13. It was in this THIRD DAY that God caused the waters under Heaven to be gathered into one place. Gen.1:9 and caused the dry land to appear. He created grass and other things on the dry ground. It only takes 24 hours for grass to grow given enough water.

That when the first day ended Gen. 1:5 in the evening at sunset we then have 12 hours of the SECOND NIGHT followed by sunrise; 6 hours of morning; 6 hours of evening (12 hours of the SECOND DAY) and then sunset Gen.1:8. It was in this SECOND DAY that God separated the mass of water on the earth with a firmament(or space) below the waters; and a firmament (or space)above the waters. He called the firmament Heaven. Gen. 1:8. We breath in that Heaven

Now we come to the first period of time. That when God came in his spirit HE found the earth to be in COMPLETE darkness. Or darkness was upon the face of the deep. Gen. 1:2. This darkness could have lasted 500 years. I don't think is lasted more than 1000 years but it was obviously longer than 12 hours. That the first period of darkness on earth was a very long NIGHT. That there was NO light around untill GOD said let there be light.Gen. 1:3

Now to use the imagination a bit. That when GOD said "let there be light" HE lit up one side of the Globe, our earth from what would be Jerusalem on the left going across the globe to what would become China and then across the globe to what would be a spot in the Pacific Ocean. All one side of the earth would be lit up.

Then he caused the earth to turn so that what would be Jerusalem in the early morning sun, slowly turned to a 12 o'clock position and then onto the Pacific Ocean point 12 hours later in the late afternoon or evening BEFORE sunset. So that after saying "let there be light", in 12 hours the entire earth would have been covered in LIGHT.

That God has made it crystal clear to me and others that the first day in Gen 1:5 is only 12 hours long. After all it was the Creator in the form of Jesus Christ who said "Are there not 12 hours in a day" John 11:9. That some have speculated that "Evening" means Darkness of night. If that was the case then Gen. 1:2 would say "and evening was on the face of the deep". And in Gen. 1:5 it would say "and the evening he called night". Where as in Gen. 1:5 he says that "the evening and the morning he called day (light)

That the 12 hour day and the 12 hour night has continued for 6000 years. That there is no such thing as 24 hours of daylight or we would be in the perpetual light. That morning is when the sun rises until midday at noon. Evening is when the sun declines in the sky to sunset. We call it afternoon. Deut.16:6; Josh.10:26-27, when the shadows of even are stretched. Jer. 6:4, and finishes at sunset.

That in Paul Finch's book The Passover Papers page 115, that erev means the period of afternoon ending at sunset in Biblical usage.

That Christ was killed in the afternoon at the ninth hour of the evening. That Josephus points out on page 588 that the lamb was killed between the ninth hour 3.PM and the eleventh hour 5.PM before sunset.

So evening is an inclusive part of Day.

That many hundreds are clicking on to what I have been saying. That we worship a brilliant God and he makes everything crystal clear. That he shows this in Deut.16:1-6. This is what I call the time zone chapter.

That this is an exact copy of the 24 hours in Genesis the first chapter. That in Deut.16:1. the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by NIGHT. This was the start of the 12 hours of nightly Exodus. Then in Deut. 1:3. Remember the DAY when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt. So the 15th night he started to take them out and on the following 15 DAY they continued to come out. God had again divided the DAY from the NIGHT.

Then as in Genesis he showed that he had further divided the DAY into two parts in Deut. 16:4. neither shall there of any thing of the flesh which thou sacrifiedst the FIRST DAY at EVEN, remain all NIGHT until the MORNING.

That God has now again separated the DAY of 12 hours of light into MORNING AND EVENING. 6 hours each

That MORNING is fairly obvious. The evening of the day being the last half of day he further explains by saying in Deut. 1:6. That thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at EVEN at the GOING DOWN OF THE SUN.

That the going down of the sun is from NOON to sunset.

Wake up early 14th er's as Paul Finch says in his book STOP LYING.

That in the first scripture of Gen.1:1 Some Bibles use the wording that "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth. As in my Bible it should be one single Heaven and one single Earth. He created the multiple Heavens in Gen. 1:14 in the fourth day. He only created one Heaven which was his heavenly abode.

Counting for Pentecost

That the Pharisees sat in Moses' seat Matt. 23:1-3 and never hinted that they were keeping the Holy Days wrong.

That in counting for Pentecost, the Jews have the oracles of God. Rom. 3:2. That in Judaism as Creed and Life by Morris page 224; that Pentecost is 50 days after Passover. A similar thing is in Chambers Dictionary page 1260; Pentecost is 50 days after Passover. That the Passover day or the first DAY of unleavened bread is ZERO DAY for Pentecost counting. The following or 2nd day of unleavened bread or Nissan 16 is count one for Pentecost. This being a working day, is the day that they put the sickle to the corn Deut. 16:9. That the Sabbath in Lev. 23:15 is the HIGH Sabbath of Passover DAY.

Now imagine the earth or globe with what becomes Eden in the Iraqi area on the left hand side and a spot in the Pacific Ocean area on the right hand side. The earth is covered in DARKNESS. Not only is the earth covered in Darkness but it is also covered in ICE because there is NO heat nor SUN to warm the ICE. ICE is frozen water. The universe at the moment in its depth is minus 273 degrees Fahrenheit; that is cold.

Now God called this DARKNESS NIGHT. Gen.1:5. The earth was covered in darkness.

DAY

In Genesis 1:2 Darkness ( he called the darkness NIGHT, verse 5) was upon the face of the deep. This was followed by LIGHT verse 3.The LIGHT part he called DAY verse 5. the NIGHT followed by DAY sequence has been going on ever since.

That the Passover lamb was killed in the evening of the 14th at the end of the day. Ex. 12:6

That 12 hours later in the 15th day that unleavened bread was also eaten. Ex. 12:15

That it took about 3 hours at the start of the 14th day in the evening to cut the lambs throat to preparing the lamb and to actually start eating the lamb in the night of the 15th. Ex.12:8

That the lambs throat was cut at about 3.00 in the afternoon of the 14th which was about the same time as Christ gave up the ghost at the ninth hour Hebrew time. Matt. 27:46; Luke 23:44-46. This was when the sun was still way above the horizon on the 14th day at evening.

That the Atonement Lev. 23:27; starts in the ninth day at even, from even untill the next (tenth) even. Lev. 23:32. Shows that the Atonement period of 24 hours starts with the Atonement NIGHT followed by the Atonement DAY. OR the Atonement is between the two seperate evenings of the ninth evening and tenth evening.

That in Gen.1:5 last part. And the evening and morning were the first day light hours.ETC. That there is no such thing as a 24 hour day of 24 hours of daylight; or we would be in perpetual light.

That MORNING is defined as when the sun riseth. 2 Sam. 23:4; and evening is defined as the going DOWN of the sun. Josh.10: 26-27; Deut. 16:6.

That morning is defined as when the shadows are shortening; and evening when the shadows are stretched out. Jer.6:4.

That there is NO Biblical scripture which says that once the sun has set a NEW daylight period has begun. In fact the reverse is true. As Lev. 23:27 shows that once the sun has set on the ninth day at evening we go into the Atonement tenth NIGHT followed by the tenth day of Atonement. And Exodus 12:8 shows that once the sun has set on the 14th day in the evening then we eat unleavened bread in the 15th night followed by the 15th day.

That in simple language, DAY can be defined as the light period of the sun.

That God did NOT say that the Israelites were NOT to go out until morning. He said leave NOT the FLESH until morning. Ex.12:10

That it was Moses Ex.12:21,22; who said NOT to go out until morning and then broke his own rule. He was covering his backside.

That in Ex. 12:18 Where is says; On the 14th day in the even Ye shall eat unleavened bread. Means that as the Leavened bread had to be removed on the 14th day, the Israelites had to have UN leavened bread available for the feast in the 15th night. This does not make the 14th day a feast day as it was only a preparation day. This unleavened bread was only for energetics purposes to keep the Israelites alive. Also God was NOT going to change people into pumpkins if a little bit of leaven remained on the 15th day. God does not work in such a hair splitting way.

That by Sunday Morning Christ was risen from the dead; Matt. 28;6,7; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:7.

That He had in fact risen just after sunset in the first night of the week and was a spirit born being that could materialise and dematerialise. He was then most probably chatting to a couple of angels for the next few hours.

That as Christ said Matt.12:38-40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales belly, so shall the Son of man be THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth. So as a MINIMUM he had to be in the grave 72 hours.

to be sent. That Exodus 12:14. And THIS DAY refers to the 15th day or the first day of unleavened bread. Lev. 23:6.

That in Matt. 27:63 Jesus is quoted as saying "After three days I will rise again". So as a minimum he had to be in the grave 72 hours.

That in the week Christ was killed there was one HIGH Sabbath on the Thursday John 19:31. This was the Feast of UNleavened bread after the Passover NIGHT, and a normal Sabbath on the Saturday. This can be proven by the fact that the two Mary's bought and prepared spices on the Friday just before the Sabbath. Mark 16:1; Luke 23:56. I have also been informed that TWILIGHT is still part of the previous evening. This blows apart the silly scholars two evenings hair splitting idea.

That the other thing we were taught, that when talking on the Sabbath day it was that the Sabbath started the previous evening. NO, technically the Sabbath starts the previous NIGHT. The previous evening is of the FriDAY which is part of the preparation DAY; not of the Sabbath night.

That Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three night; 72 hours. No the Bible does not say 72 hours, in the book of Jonah it comes across more horrifyingly. I suggest people do not dwell on this too long. Jonah went through hell and almost gave up his spirit. His ordeal was such that he thought it was going to go on FOR EVER Jonah 2:6.

Now recently with my wife Sue, I took a journey to Rockley Park and it took us 4 hours to do a 10 mile journey. There was an accident on the motor way and all the traffic was diverted off it. At the 3rd hour of the journey I thought the stoppage was going to go on for ever. It was hell. We arrived at the Park and was told that it was on the Radio. The next day Portsmouth was brought to a stand still for 4 hours because of an accident on their circular motorway. Each day we now hear of accidents on motor ways. Chaps this world in now going through hell.

to be sent That God did not create the Heavens out of nothing as some have speculated but that He created the Heavens out of the Vast Energy that is contained within him. This is why he shines like the sun because he is unlimeted ENERGY. With him nothing is impossible.

That the Saturday or Sabbath day was the third day that he would be dead in the grave

Key scripture

Hebrew Time

That Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the book of Acts use Hebrew time is shown in the following. John 11:9 are there not 12 hours in a day; John 19:14 about the sixth hour. Matt. 27:46; Luke 23:44-46 cried at the 9th hour. Mark 15:25 Crucified the third hour. John 4:6 Jesus wearied at the sixth hour. Acts 10:9 sixth hour (12 noon). Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44; Matt. 27:45; sixth-ninth hour. John 19:14 preparation of the passover at the sixth hour. Acts 2:15 third hour (9 AM) Acts 3:1; 10:3; 10:30; ninth hour (3PM) John 1:39 about the tenth hour. John 4:52 Fever left at the seventh hour. Acts 23:23 third hour of the night. Matt. 20:3 about the third hour; Matt.20:5 sixth and ninth hour. Matt. 20:6 the eleventh hour

That Christ was on the cross at the sixth hour of the day (Hebrew time); Mark 15:33; which was at noon or midday on the 14th day and it was dark. It was also a preparation day.

That the sentence of Christ took place at the 6th hour of the day (Hebrew time)or noon or midday, John 19:14. This must have been on the 13th day as he was not on the Cross. One cannot be on the cross and sentenced and scourged (Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15; and John 19:1) all at the same time. It was the first of two preparation days; John 19:14 being the first day and John 19:31 being the second day. Christ being on the cross on the second preparation day.

That as the sentence was starting Bar Abbas was in prison as a prisoner. Matt. 27:16; Luke 23:18,19; Mark 15:6,7 for murder sedition and robbery; Luke 23:24,25; John 18:40. After the second request with the bound Bar Abbas in sight; because the multitude said "release him". Pilate released Bar Abbas. Matt.27:26

Now we come to the interesting bit. That once Bar Abbas was released. Christ was scourged Mark 15:15; Matt. 27:26; John 19:1. spat upon and struck on the head with a reed and then put into prison where Bar Abbas had come from. How do we know this? In Isaiah 53:8 it says "He was taken from prison------ and cut off". Prison is mentioned in the four Gospels. If as Isaiah says --he was taken FROM prison, then he must have been put in prison in the first place.

MORNING

That, using the simplest form of day that has 12 hours John.11:9; "Are there not 12 hours in a day?" that the morning starts when the sun riseth. 2 Sam. 23:4; and ends at noon or midday 6 hours later.

Evening

That, using the simplest form of day that has 12 hours, that the Evening starts at noon or midday at the going down of the sun Deut.16:6; Josh.10:26-27, when the shadows of even are stretched. Jer. 6:4, and finishes at sunset. Evening has 6 hours. That there is only ONE evening per day.

That evening in the Crudens Concordance has got in brackets (At the close of day) under it. This is at page 187 ISBN number 0 7188 0202 0. Highlight that Evening is at the close of day NOT as some have imagined the beginning of another night. This is also shown in 2 Sam. 23:4 where Morning (opening of the day) when the sun riseth; and by extension Evening is (at the close of day)at the going down of the sun Deut.16:6; Josh. 10:26-27, when the shadows of even are stretched. Jer. 6:4, and finishes at sunset.

to be sent. That EVENING was when two angels came to Lot when he could SEE them and he asked them to tarry all NIGHT. They said they would abide all NIGHT in the street. Gen. 19:1-2. Evening here is daylight because Lot could see them. So evening is at the end of day.

The Atonement 24 hours period starts at Evening at the close of Ninth day when we are psychologically preparing our mind to go without food and water so we are in Atonement in the Tenth NIGHT and ends at the Evening part of the close of the Tenth day; when our mind starts to concentrate on the next meal to have.

That there is no hair splitting evening as described in the following.

Simple day

That in the simplest form of day (12 hours), the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening at the going down of the sun. That the morning has 6 hours and the evening has 6 hours, so that; and it does not matter if we add the morning to evening; or evening to morning hours we still have 12 hours of daylight.

That it is recognised that in mid SUMMER due to the dynamics of the earth that evening can extend to what we know as 7 o'clock or 1900 hours or 7pm and beyond at sunset. And this is where one part of the confusion comes; that in mid WINTER at 7pm or 7 o'clock at night; this time is sometimes used in the colloqial or common language usage, as my Mother used to; as being 7 o'clock in the evening but this is not Biblical as evening is equated with DAY in the Biblical sense. For example Christ died at 3PM or the 9th Hour (Luke 23:44) of the Day, Hebrew time or 1500 hours in the 24 hour clock, in the evening of the 14th day. Here evening is equated with DAY in the Biblical sense.

God's Scheme of things

That in God's scheme of 24 hours he uses the NIGHT followed by DAY to produce results.

This is shown in the Passover where he sent the death angel to kill all the Egyptians first born in the 15th NIGHT, Deut. 16:1; Num.33:3; Ex.11:4 so that they were on the move out of Egypt in the 15th DAY; Num.33:3.

That from a ceremonial view point unleavened bread was to be eaten in the 15th NIGHT Ex.12:8 and again in the 15th day Lev.23:6.

That the lamb was to be eaten in the 15th Night Ex.12:8 and no remains to be left in the 15th day Ex.12:10.

That we are to be in Atonement in the 10th night Lev. 23:32 followed by the 10th day Lev. 23:27.

That manna did not stink in the 7th night Ex. 16:24 so the Israelites could eat the manna in the following 7th Day Sabbath; Ex. 16:25 re identifying the Sabbath day for them.

Check point for proof reading. That in Nehemiah's time Neh. 13:19 the gates were closed before is was dark at night so the Israelites were not got at by the merchants in the Sabbath day.

That in Acts Paul identified that he was working in the NIGHT of the 14th Acts 27:27 and continued in the 14th day Acts 27:33 that followed.
