  1. On the 14th Abib, at twilight, the lamb was to be killed (v6) The word twilight (Hbereb) could mean the "evening part" of the day The word twilight (Hbereb) may also come to mean "between the two evenings“

  2. Herein is the Christological significance. Passover illustrates the death of Jesus

  3. On the 10th Abib, Jesus, the lamb of God is kept in the possession of the Jews Matthew 21:1 - 3, 10 - 11 10th Abib - His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. From this point, Jesus would remain in their midst for 4 days! Matthew 21:17 - 18, 24:1 10th Abib - He spends the night in Bethany 11th Abib - In the morning, returns to Jerusalem and spends the entire time in the temple (events of chapter 21 - 25) Matthew 26:1 - 5 11th Abib - He speaks of the Passover as coming after 2 days (13th 6pm = 14th) Matthew 26:17 - 20 14th Abib (13th after 6pm) - He has Passover with his disciples.

  4. During the 4 days, Jesus, the lamb of God was tested by the Jews; he was found to be unblemished Matthew 21:23 - He was tested by the chief priests and elders Matthew 22:15 - 18 - He was tested by the Herodians Matthew 22:23 - He was tested by the Sadducees Matthew 22:34 - 36 - He was tested by the Pharisees Luke 23:1 - 4 - He was tested, yet Pilate could find no fault in him "...but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ." - 1 Pet 1:18

  5. On the 14th Abib, Jesus, the lamb of God was killed at twilight Mark 15:25, 33 - 37 14th Abib @ 9am - He was crucified. 14th Abib @ 12pm - Darkness covered the whole land for 3 hours. 14th Abib @ 3pm - He died. Jesus endured a 6 hour crucifixion and died between the evenings of 14th & 15th Abib.

  6. One question some have raised is the timing of the crucifixion and the slaughter of the Passover lamb.The traditional view is that whilst Jesus was being crucified, the priests were slaughtering the Passover lamb.

  7. "Which thing when the Romans understood, on those days which we call Sabbaths they threw nothing at the Jews, nor came to any pitched battle with them; but raised up their earthen banks, and brought their engines into such forwardness, that they might do execution the next day. And any one may hence learn how very great piety we exercise towards God, and the observance of his laws, since the priests were not at all hindered from their sacred ministrations by their fear during this siege, but did still twice a-day, in the morning and about the ninth hour, offer their sacrifices on the altar; nor did they omit those sacrifices...“ - Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 14.4.3

  8. "For some of them are offered up every day, and some on the days of the new moon, and at the festivals of the full moon; others on days of fasting; and others at three different occasions of festival. Accordingly, it is commanded that every day the priests should offer up two lambs, one at the dawn of day, and the other in the evening; each of them being a sacrifice of thanksgiving; the one for the kindnesses which have been bestowed during the day, and the other for the mercies which have been vouchsafed in the night, which God is incessantly and uninterruptedly pouring upon the race of men." - Philo of Alexandria, Special Laws 1.169

  9. If these times are true, then herein is the breakdown:

  10. The death of Jesus was ordered by the whole assembly of Israel Matthew 27:17, 20 - 26 - the whole crowd, all the people consented to his death

  11. None of Jesus' bones were broken during/after his crucifixion John 19:31 - 33, 36 - This was to speed up death; but he died without a bone being broken

  12. Jesus is the door; his blood has been applied to the doorposts and lintel of the house of faith/sheep John 10:7 - 9 He is the door; the doorposts and lintel were marked with his blood when he died on the cross. He is the door of the household of the sheep; anyone who enters through the door and abides in the house will be kept safe
