When was Yahshua's resurrection?
Forget about the non-sensical aspects of a Wednesday or Friday sacrifice of our beloved Messiah. The pagan days of the Roman calendar week do NOT figure into this subject matter at all. According to the Lunar reckoning of Yahweh's Calendar (Ps. 104:19) where the Feast Days and 7th Day Sabbath Days (Lev. 23) are reckoned by the moon and its phases, here we see how the 14th of the 1st Moonth is Passover/Preparation Day in which Messiah Yahshua was hung on the tree to die for our sins. Just before sunset on the 14th, on the 6th day (see green background) of the 2nd shabuwa (Strong's concordance #7620, improperly termed "week" but defined as "a period of 7" a "heptad") He was put in the grave. After sunset on the 6th day (the beginning of the 7th day of the 2nd shabuwa) till sunset on the 7th day is the first full day that Messiah was in the grave. It was the Sabbath day, the first day of the Feast Of Unleavened Bread. From sundown on the 7th day of the 2nd shabuwa till sundown on the 1st day of the 3rd shabuwa was the 2nd full day that Messiah was in the grave. From sundown on the 1st day of the third shabuwa till sundown on the 2nd day was the 3rd full day of Messiah being in the grave per the sign given regarding Jonah in the belly of the whale. Right after sundown, Messiah arose, on the THIRD DAY (of the third shabuwa) ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. (See the full chart to view and understand the "weeks" of the moonth).
The phrase "first day of the week" has been so mistranslated and improperly understood that it has driven most everyone away from the reckoning of the THIRD DAY resurrection. I don't think, to this day, that the "first day of the week" is even now understood, but it most certain does NOT mean "sun-day". "mia ton sabbaton" has no reference to the word "day" in it, that is why in the KJV it is "italicized" but added to give one an understanding of a "sun-day" resurrection to favor the RCC. Mia means "one" in Greek. This is more likely a reference to a time frame of the first of the seven shabuwas (periods of seven) that lead up to the Feast of Shavuot (feast of "weeks" - Pentecost). This phrase always occurs during a time known to the Hebrews as "the counting of the omer". In other words, we believe mia ton sabbaton means "early in week ONE of the counting of the omer - the counting of shabuwas (weeks/sabbaths)".
We certainly know that this does not even begin to answer ALL the questions pertaining to the verses that speak of the "first day of the week" so we reserve the right to modify or correct our understanding as the Ruach Yahweh leads.
