The Last Days of Yeshua’s Earthly Ministry

“Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.” – John 20:1

Last night as the sun set, the 3rd Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread began along with the 2nd Day of the Omer Count. According the Biblical account, this is the day on which Messiah Yeshua rose from the grave very early in the morning. It is also the 17th Day of Nisan which, this year, falls on Shabbat.

In this sermon Michael looks at the two prominent methods of reckoning the start of the 50 day period between Passover and Shavuot, known as the counting of the omer. He attempts to defend both positions having followed them in the past. This topic always makes for a lively discussion and the community of AIM did not disappoint.
