March 21,
33 AD- Midnight
Midnight (Fri)
Mary
arrives near the cave, sees that the
stone has been removed, and sees
Simon Magus ("the Lord") in the
western chamber. She goes to fetch
Peter and
John Mark.
1 AM
They arrive at the opening to the cave.
John Mark looks down into Cave 7
and sees the garments
(ta othonia).
Peter goes down into Cave 7, sees that
Cave 8 is open and that Simon Magus'
soudarion (headcloth) has been left in
there.
Simon Magus
has been
returned to the eastern cave. Peter goes
into Cave 8 and sees Jesus first, then
John Mark enters and sees him next
(1 Cor 15:5).
John Mark goes to fetch
a litter to carry him away
(John 20:3-10).
2 AM
Mary
returns to the cave. She looks
down into cave
7 and sees Simon
Magus
and Judas
there in the
positions of First and Second.
Simon allows her to
go into the western
chamber (hopou, ta opiso,
John
20:11-17)
Peter and
John Mark
enter Cave 8,
prepared to
carry Jesus away.
They find him able to walk.
(Cf GPet. 10;36-39, Two men entered
the sepulcre,
and they saw ... three men
come out from the
sepulcre, and two
of them sustaining the other, and a
cross [the litter] following them".) They
take him up
the path, permitted by
Ananus and Theudas, whose
duty was to
guard Simon Magus. He (Jesus) is taken
to the queen's house."
3 AM
The three women
arrive on top
of the west
chamber. They knew that
the main stone has been
put back by Peter to confine Simon
Magus.
But Theudas 'Earthquake"
wants to help Simon.
He must not lift up the stone [Sabbath
rules!], but
he can roll it down the
sloping shaft into the east
cave. It crashes down,
Simon Magus
is able to roll it
further and sit on it
as if on a papal
throne. He now claims to have
returned to the position of Pope
"Lightning", through
having worked a "miracle" on Jesus.
Ananus
is put down in rank.
The women enter the cave, and
Simon tells them he has brought
about a resurrection."
(Mark 16:1-7, Luke 24;1-8, Matt 28:1-7)
At this point I feel it's time to
look at the Greek words that Dr. Barbara Thiering PhD is using to support
that this is what really happened, and which allow her to "see"
how the Essenes are able to make one day (24 hours) appear to be two days
(48 hours). The conventional explanation has always been that Jesus
spent the Sabbath "in the grave" resting, or perhaps "in
Hell" preaching to the "spirits in prison" 2 Peter 2:4, 1
Peter 3:19,20 --(hardly "resting" one might surmise) --Jesus was
indeed, alive and "resting" this particular Sabbath day, at the
queens house near Qumran. With Mary Magdalene and the two other
Marys taking very good care of him.

The women see
Jesus at the queen's
house. (Mark 16:8,

3 PM
Qumran
Ananus the guard
is removed from duty
at the cave, as the
Jewish sabbath law no
longer applies.
4 PM
Celibates keeping Jewish rules now go to
Cave 4. But
for those under Julian times
it is still the sabbath. They have
already
missed Friday 4 AM, and now use the sabbath
latrine at 4 PM, Simon Magus
is removed
and
Judas is thrown from the window.
Agrippa ("the soldiers") is told of the
release of Simon,
and offered money to take
no further action. Pilate will
also be bribed if necessary (Matt 28:11-15)

Jesus comes. John
Mark is
made bishop
[the disciples glad +
the ritual of verses 22, 23]

"Easter"
Sunday, March 22, 33 AD
3 AM
Jesus
is now under the rule for the
sick,
who must stay outside Qumran for
three days (11QT 45:7-12). He acts
like an outside Nazirite during this time,
walking
long distances
to the various
outposts, as an ascetic
discipline. (His feet
had not been nailed, cf. John
20:25.)
(Cf. Ant. 18:64, on the Christ, probably a
genuine passage. It was known to
Josephus
that after Pilate had
condemned him to be crucified, "on the
third
day he appeared to them living",
On Monday, the literal third day, he was in
Jerusalem.)
Noon Sunday Mird
Major
Jesus
arrives at the Mird
building
(Hyrcania) (9 hours)
to have the communal
meal with
Thomas.
He shares
the meal, and again shows that he is
physically present
(John 20: 26-29). (The eastern
Christian tradition did not
teach the resurrection.)
4 PM
"Emmaus"
Jesus walks
2 hours from the Mird
building to the annexe of Mar Saba,
"Emmaus", meeting James
(Cleopas)
and
Theudas
(his unnamed companion).
On the way to Mar Saba they discuss recent
events.
(Luke 24:13-26)
5 PM
Mar Saba
They arrive at Mar Saba, and have
further discussion
of Essene laws.
(Luke 24:27)
6 PM
They have the evening communal meal
by Herodian
rules for villagers.
(Luke 24:28-29)
8 PM
At the hour for communion bread,
Jesus performs
the ceremony of blessing,
and James and Theudas
acknowledge him
as the true David (Luke 24:30-31)
9 PM
Jesus takes 3 hours' rest, "not appearing"
(as a
priest) (Luke 24:31)
James and Theudas walk 12 hours to
Jerusalem

9 AM Essene
Gate
They arrive at the Essene Gate (Luke
24:33-35)
|
"And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you. (the blessing over
the noon meal).
"But
they were terrified and afrighted, and supposed they had seen a
spirit." (Jesus had, they had all heard, been
crucified at Qumran, a mere three days earlier, on Friday the 20th of
March.)
"And
he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in
your hearts?"
"Behold my hands, and my feet, that it is I myself;
handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see
me have."
"And
when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet."
"And
while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them,
Have ye here any meat?"
"And
they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of an honeycomb."
"And
he took it, and did eat before them."
"Then
opened he their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures." |
Noon
They begin the noon meal,
where
common food is taken according to
Herodian rules.
Jesus
arrives
and takes the position as bishop, proving
that he
is physically present by eating
common
food.
(Luke 24:36-43)
3 PM
End of service. Jesus sets out for Ain
Feshkha
(a 24 hour walk)
