In time for Good Friday, people are posting about The Geologists in 2012 who were studying earthquakes from Jerusalem to The Dead Sea and found evidence there was a quake in the time of Pontius Pilate, between 26-39 A.D (https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna47555983, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15595731/biblical-earthquake-jesus-crucifixion-dead-sea.html). The Gospels tell us,
“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[c] went into the holy cityand appeared to many people.” (Matthew 27:50-53). There is astronomical evidence of an eclipse happening April 3rd, 33 A.D. because that was when a blood moon eclipse happened (https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/history/) and the Scripture mentions it,
“It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”When he had said this, he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:44-45)
According to the data from The Scientists, the ldate Jesus was crucified is April 3rd, 33 A.D. which is when Good Friday falls this day, 2026! NASA is the one who made the discovery, “Christian texts mention that the Moon turned to blood after Jesus’s crucifixion – potentially referring to a lunar eclipse, during which the Moon takes on a reddish hue. Using this textual source, scholars narrowed down a possible date of crucifixion to Friday, April 3, 33 C.E. because a lunar eclipse occurred that day.” (https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/history/). We actually happen to have this Good Friday fall on the actual Day Jesus our Lord died for our sins! The fact it was April 3, 33 A.D. is fascinating numerology because God is The Trinity of Father, Som”n (Jesus) and Holy Spirit! In fact Christian numerology does state 333 is, “Christian numerology and spiritual interpretation, 333 frequently symbolizes the amplification of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), representing divine completeness, perfection, and the triune nature of God.” In stark contrast the antichrist will be 666 (Revelation 13:16-18).
I just cannot express the reverence, the awe, and weight of glory knowing today is when our Lord was crucified, and reconciled us, “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” (Romans 5:10-11).
I hope this Good Friday we are moved to tears that this is the date! NASA and Geological Scientists helping pin point with their examinations! Knowing this makes an already solemn and sacred day even more so! That we as Christians can sing Chris Toon Song,
“There's a place
Where mercy reigns
And never dies
There's a place
Where streams of grace
Flow deep and wide
Where all the love
I've ever found
Comes like a flood
Comes flowing down
At the cross, at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
And my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You Jesus
There's a place
Where sin and shame
Are powerless
Where my heart
Has peace with God
And forgiveness
Where all the love
I've ever found
Comes like a flood
Comes flowing down
At the cross, at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
And my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You
Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down
Here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You save my life
Here I bow down
Here I bow down
At the cross, at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
And my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You
I owe all to You
I owe all to You
Jesus (oh)
Where Your love ran red
Your love ran red.”
