I appreciate that YY provides the calculations both for Gensis creation time and Daniel 9 weeks prophecy. I have encountered other similar calculations that come as close to 32 CE, but am curious how the days of the week are determined as this would be significant to dating the events?

I realize that the Gregorian /Julian calendars periodically were adjusted to keep the seasons consistant with the seasons as these were not 365.25 days long originally. To my knoweldge the seven days of the week have remained unchanged at least by the Jews / Yahudym since ancient times. What I'd like to know is what calculation is used to determine the days of the week for 33 CE and surrounding years?

Thank you for the tip Jeannie, I re-read chapter 7 of FH and see that like YY the calculation is provided to count the days of Daniel's weeks prophecy that arrive at the days before the Passover of 33 CE to be the time frame of when Daniel was told Messiyah the prince would come (and be known to the people of Jerusalem). I read another author who using a similiar caluation and I believe the same number of days (I'll have to check to be sure if the days count matches) believes the days before the Passover of 32 CE to be correct. I'll speculate that the other author concluded that the day of the week should be a (Palm) Sunday 32 CE, rather than a Branch Monday in 33 CE.

Either way I'm hoping to learn how the calulations were made to determine what day of the week it was on an ancient calender to help settle for the curious the verification for just what year this event actually took place. That is if we know the date for the passover in each of the sorrounding years, then determining then conclusively calulating the day of the week that it fell on would verifiably support just which year the event took place in.

I realize that YY tells us what day of the week it was in the sorrounding years but would love to know how he was able to accurately calulate this? I'm guessing that it may be a simple aritmatic formula, but I've not been able to figure it ot yet and it bothers me that I've not been succcessful so far.

I'm impressed that Sir Robert Anderson was able to calculate the actual number of days needed to count for Daniel's weeks prophecy. This has been well explained but unfortunately is not my question.

What I've been attempting to ask is how are the actual days of the week accurately determined for Nissan for the year in the Gregorian calender of 33 CE? That is, if there a calculation used to determine what day of the week an ancient day landed on? For instance how do we know that 10 Nissan 32 CE was a Thursay and not say a Monday?

It seems that most Christians agree that Messiyah was crucified on a Friday, a Passover day, and appeared alive to his disciples on the following Sunday, and I'm guessing many(errantly) date this event to 30 CE. Others propose different dates such as 32 CE. If we can independently determine the day Passover occured in that range and again independently determine the day of the week it fell on, hence a Passover that fell on the sixth day of the week (Friday), then this should settle the matter. So I ask how does one accurately calculate the days of the week for these ancient years, or even determine when Passover fell and convert the date between calendars?

It appears to me YY must have determined a way to do this and I was hoping to learn this method? I've determined that for our modern calendar the day of the week shifts back a day each year and falls back an extra day every leap year. So if we wanted to determine the day of the week for 1 April 33 CE, how could we do that?

In my quest I have just come across an interesting website http://calendarhome.com that I checked and shows April 1st 33 CE to fall on a Wednesday. I am suspicious of this site's methodology as when I checked April 1, 1601 it showed this to be a Wednesday whereas Outlook showed a Sunday for the same date? I'm guessing there must be some difference even the leap year day does not catch and I'm not sure how this is accounted for? For the curious calendarhome's 10,000 year calendar shows "Palm Sunday" to be April 5th, "Good Friday" to be April 10th, and "Easter Sunday" to be April 12th for 33 CE. Again I'm not clear on that websites methodology.

Curiously the link from calendarhome.com when one clicks on "Good Friday" goes to the wikipedia articles which states in part:



As an interesting note, I checked the site's date converter and found that 14 Nisan 3793 on their Hebrew calendar which according to this site the Gregorian date would be Thursday April 2, 33 CE. I remain cautious because in testing dates back and forth between the Hebrew and Gregorian in their converter, the days and dates seem to fluxuate somewhat and even presents days and dates that differ as compared to the sites at a glance or printable calendars. Very curious. I'm still hoping that this matter can be conclusively resolved.

Thanks again KP. I like that the converters you linked to indicate the miqra days as well. I'm still not clear as to why the calendarhome.com month at a glance and wikipedia (possibly that it is based off of) differs by two days but it is good to see that the Hebrew calendar converters agree. I'm also surprised that wikipedia supports a the first Friday in April of 33 CE even if the date differs by two days.

Would the lunar eclipse mentioned be consistant with the lunar phase for Passover or prehaps a lunar eclipse can happen in varying phases? Either way it would seem that what darkened the sky that day was not a solar eclipse.

I once read somewhere that the Hebrew calendar may be off by ~200 years. Is there any validity to that? I've read a number of different viewpoints, but didn't really come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Ken Power, I just want to thank you for a wondeful book. I have just finished it and have printed it out and will give it to someone as a valuable gift. I can just say that if we are wrong and there is no rapture, we are in for a ... , well, I do'nt want to think of it. It is because of Paul who skips a step or two when he explained the Coming of our King, that I some how have this uneasy feeling. I trust Yahuweh completely, it is just our interpretation of things which sometimes might be off the mark. But your and Yada's reasoning seem to be sound, based on scripture, the Word - what more can we expect? I can not wait for the miqra of trumpets this year, our first celebration. Since having read YadaYaweh we start keeping the Sabbath and will also keep the miqra. My wife has specially taken leave for the days of teruah and reconciliations!! We look forward to it.
In the mean time we will also start with The Owners Manual which I have also printed out.
Yah bless you. I feel as if I know you, having read your In the company of good and ... etc.
I also get the feeling that you and Yada are more joined to the hip than what we suspect. Reading Future History sounded so familiar in "words" and "spirit".
You people really contributed to our increased love of Yahuweh/Yahushua. I never thought that I would really come to love the Old Covenant God. If He were here now in the room with me physically, I would HUG Him and kiss Him on the cheek.
Bless you guys.
