*Mark 11:1-11**; Psalm 118*
*This is the Day **Sun, Apr 1st 2007*
*Day of Visitation 2007 (Palm Sunday)*
----
*This is the Day the Lord has made….
*
· True today…but only application of verse *:*
· In context – not a generic – but specific promise
o Not speaking about every, but a certain day
· That specific day…1975 years ago–look at today
· Open Bible’s to *Mark 11** *:* *
*Take a break in our study of David’s life- this & next week*
· *Reason*: to commemorate, celebrate, understand the events that took place 1975 years ago.
*First – begin w~/seeking an understanding of the Calendar*
· 1975 years ago…April 32 ad…Heb Cal-Nisan
· Allow me not to get overly technical here-days off
o Calendar changes, wrestling last 2,000 yrs
· But Sun before Rez day – April 6th, 32 ad or Nisan 10th
· *Nisan 10th, April 6th significant?*
o Yes, was day Jews would select and separate their Passover lamb – *Ex 12:3*
o It was the day, the Lamb of God – Jesus was separated & presented to the Jews
o More on that later this morning
· Lets look at the next few days on the calendar
· *Nisan 13th, Apr 9th – Jesus takes the Passover meal?*
o This is Jim’s personal belief–talk more Wed
o But if so, Jesus took Passover meal early
· *Nisan 14th, Apr 10th – Passover! - Lev 23:5*
o It was day they killed their lambs-*Ex 12:6*
o Jim’s personal belief – Jesus also killed
o I know many hold to it on “Good Friday”
o That it happened is the real importance
o Personally believe it was Thur, talk more then…but again, not worth arguing over
· *Nisan 15th, Apr 11th–Feast Unleavened Bread Lev23:5-6*
o Began a feast that lasted 7 days
· *Nisan 17th, Apr 13th – Feast of First Fruits –Lev 23:10-11*
o This feast didn’t have a specific day attached, always 1st Sun after Passover
o This day, Apr 13th 32 Ad–Jesus Resurrection!
· *Quick grasp of the Seven Jewish, Biblical Feasts*
o Listed in Lev 23 – God ordained Holy Days
o Passover, Unleavened Bread, First fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles
o See timing-really three times of celebration
o Also understand – all picture Jesus
o First 3 Jesus fulfilled 1975 yrs ago
§ Passover – Cross
§ Unleavened Bread – Sin put away
§ First Fruits – Resurrection, 1st of many
o Fourth feast – fulfilled 50 days later
§ Pentecost, Church, Spirit poured out
o Last 3 Jesus is yet to fulfill – coming
§ Celebrate in fall – often look at then
*For us today – again – looking back 1975 yrs ago*
