Sermon - The 7000 Year Theory Part 4: Crucifixion of Christ

Sermon on

The 7000 Year Theory Series:

Part 4: Crucifixion of Christ

By C. B. Pepper

This is the fourth of a series of 5 sermons which examine the 7000 Year Theory. In sermon Part 1 we looked at the introduction of sin into this world and God revealing His Plan of Redemption. In Part 2 we looked at the days of Noah and the antediluvian world and saw parallels to our world today. In Part 3 we looked at the coming of Jesus as the Passover lamb and the significance of this to the plan of redemption. In Part 4 we try to determine when Jesus was crucified as this is a very important event in the Plan of Redemption.

When was Jesus' Crucified?

The next step in analysing the 7000 year theory is to establish when Jesus died. If this date can be established then the 7000 year theory predicts 2000 more years to the Second Coming of Jesus.

The most likely years when Jesus died are between 29 AD and 34 AD. We also need to find a year with a Friday Passover and one that accords with Bible prophecy and historians. Generally it assumed that Jesus lived about 33½ years.

In the years suggested there are only two viable dates accepted by scholars for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. These are Fri 5 Apr AD 30 (on our modern Gregorian calendar) and Fri 1 Apr AD 33. Briefly, the AD 30 date best fits all of the evidence concerning both the birth and death of Christ, including secular sources, whereas the AD 33 date is the one that best fits the New Testament account of the Crucifixion. In both years 30 AD and 33 AD there was a Friday Passover. The AD 30 date (unlike AD 33) accommodates the death of Herod having been in 4 or 3 BC as Josephus states (and hence Christ's birth about 6-5 BC). If Jesus died in 30 AD He would have been 33 1/2 years of age, which is generally accepted.

AD 31 has also been mentioned. The World Wide Church of God has traditionally taught that the crucifixion occurred in A.D. 31. However, they teach that the 14th of Nisan fell on a Julian Wednesday as the fourth day of the week. This necessitates the explanation that Christ had to remain in the tomb for three full 24 hour periods, thus bringing them to a Sunday resurrection.

The Seventh-day Adventists also believe that Jesus was crucified in 31 AD, on a Friday. However there is a weakness to their case because astronomical calculations going back to 31 AD don't coincide with a Friday Passover in that year. Seventh-day Adventists then say that it is not possible to reconcile the Judean calendar with our modern calendar. This presents an inconsistency because on the other hand Seventh-day Adventists believe that the Saturday Sabbath they keep today is the same Saturday Sabbath of Jesus' time. Historians also tell us that the weekly cycle of days has not changed since Biblical times.

Birth of Jesus

The only sources of information on Jesus' birth are the gospels of Matthew and Luke of the Bible.

Matthew describes King Herod as the ruler during the time of the Nativity, and Herod is believed to have died in 4 BC. Furthermore, to kill Jesus and eliminate him as a rival king, Herod orders the "Massacre of the Innocents" — the killing of all male children in Bethlehem aged two years and under. This means that Jesus would likely have been up to two years old or younger by Herod's death in 4 BC, possibly setting the Nativity around 5 or 6 BC.

Luke places the Nativity during the Census of Quirinius, which took place in 6 AD, although Luke states the conception took place during the reign of King Herod — about 10 years earlier.

Because both Gospel accounts agree that the birth took place before the death of Herod, historians generally assume Jesus was born around 5 BC or slightly before.⁴⁵

The likely date of Jesus' birth was 5 BC, which fits the Biblical and historical evidence. This date is based on Jesus being less than 2 years old at the time of the 'Massacre of the Innocents', and having been born sometime before the death of Herod in 4 BC. Matthew 2:14,15 says that "So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod".

Possible Astronomical Dates of the Crucifixion

We know that both Pilate (Mt. 27:2, Mk. 15:1, Lk. 23:1, Jn. 18:29) and Caiaphas (Mt. 26:57, Jn. 18:24) participated in the trial of Christ. Since Pilate was governor from 26-36 AD and Caiaphas was High Priest from 28-36 AD, Christ died between 28 and 36 AD.³³

The Passover traditionally took place upon the 14th of Nisan, the day of the Full Moon. According to the US Naval Observatory, in the years 30 and 33 A.D. the 14th of Nisan took place upon a Friday. This coincides with John 19:14 that tells us the day of the crucifixion was "the day of preparation for the Passover."³⁴

Year	Day of the week of the 14th of Nisan
28 A.D.	Tuesday
29 A.D.	Monday
30 A.D.	Friday
31 A.D.	Tuesday
32 A.D.	Sunday
33 A.D.	Friday
34 A.D.	Wednesday

The day of the week of Jesus' crucifixion has been debated. But it seems best to consider it as Friday, since His body was laid in the tomb on the evening of the "Day of Preparation" (technical term for Friday), the day before the Sabbath (Matt. 27:62; 28:1; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54,56; John 19:31,42). (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Note also the reasoning in Nelson's article. "Astronomically, Jesus' death fits best with either A. D. 30 or 33". Now, what does that mean? It means that these are the only two years within an acceptable time frame where the Sabbath of the fifteenth of Nisan coincides with the weekly Saturday Sabbath.³⁵

15th Year of Tiberius Caesar

Tiberius Caesar
A clue to when Jesus was crucified is that it is generally believed that His ministry lasted 33½ years. The start date of Jesus' ministry was His baptism. Luke records that Jesus' baptism occurred in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1).

A dispute has existed concerning the date of the fifteenth year of Tiberius. This is a result of the two year co-rulership Tiberius had with Augustus. Tiberius began his co-rulership with Augustus in A.D. 12. This means that the 15th year of Tiberius was A.D. 26. There was a two year co-regency from A.D. 12 to A.D. 14. Some scholars calculate his 15th year from the beginning of his sole rulership in A.D. 14 and arrive at an A.D. 28 date. This is the source of conflict. However, A.D. 12 is the only date that harmonizes with all other events.³⁶ Therefore, John the Baptist began his ministry, as a messenger to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus Christ, in the spring of A.D. 26. Jesus was then baptized by John the Baptist, some time in the fall of A.D. 26. 3½ years after the fall of A.D. 26 brings us to the spring of A.D. 30.

Luke 3:23 says Jesus was about 30 at the time of His baptism. In the time of Jesus, priests began their service at 30 years of age. From a Jewish point of view a man of 30 was not too young to be in a position of spiritual authority, yet not too old to carry on a vigorous ministry. We should accept that Jesus began His ministry very near the age of 30. This also accords with Jesus having been born in 5 BC. The implications of this is that Jesus' ministry lasted 3½ years to the Spring of 30 AD, and that He lived a life of 33½ years.

Daniel's Prophecy

To confirm that Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah ("anointed one"), the divine Saviour of the world, God sent Daniel the spectacular prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 which not only prophesied over 500 years in advance the very year of Jesus' baptism and "anointing" with the Holy Spirit, but also the very year of His death and its meaning as a saving act on our behalf!

The chart below is premised on the assumption that the command to rebuild Jerusalem was made in 458 BC, based upon Sir Isaac Newton's research and interpretation. There have been other start dates proposed however this date best fits all the evidence.³⁷

Each of the last three verses of the Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy foretold events that were to take place relative to both Jerusalem and the Messiah.

Daniel 9:25 foretold the very year He would be anointed and become the Messiah, which occurred exactly as prophesied, in A.D. 26.

Daniel 9:26 foretold that "after the sixty-two weeks (i.e., sometime after 26 A.D.), Messiah shall be cut off" (put to death).

Daniel 9:27 prophesied about the last seven years of the 490 year prophecy, the seven years after 26 A.D., and it explicitly states that "in the middle of the week (the middle of the final 7 years of the prophecy), He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering." These phrases–"cut off" and "bring an end to sacrifice and offering"–are direct references to Jesus' death. The "Messiah shall be cut off," put to death, and "bring an end to" the lamb sacrificial system of the Old Testament, "in the middle of" the final 7 years of this prophecy, or three and a half years after 26 A.D., which would be 30 A.D.³⁸

If one does an Internet search for "seventy weeks prophecy" the result is at least fifty articles, with almost as many interpretations. Most of them have seemed contrived with several starting points in order to to end on any of several dates, including proposed dates for the Saviour's baptism and crucifixion. With one notable exception, most interpretations claim that the prophecy is accurate to the year, but they all have to change one or both of the end years to make it work.

Sir Isaac Newton undertook a very credible analysis of the '490 year' prophecy and applied his extensive knowledge of ancient history which allowed him to identify the Persian king as Artaxerxes I (Artaxerxes Longimanus), and to place the decree in the year 458 BC.

Newton then calculated the Crucifixion date as being either in AD 33 or 34. The way he did it was remarkable, because he used his own new theory of gravity to calculate the position of the moon in antiquity to reconstruct the Judean calendar to find a year in which the day of the preparation for Passover fell on a Friday. That same method was "rediscovered" some two centuries later by someone totally unfamiliar with Newton's work, with the same results.

Newton then pointed out that Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks, or 490 years, would fit perfectly either between the year of Ezra's commission in 458 BC and AD 33, which he acknowledged as the commonly accepted year for the Crucifixion, or it could also fit between the years 457 BC when Ezra actually got started working and AD 34.

Newton favoured the latter choice for two reasons. First it makes Daniel's prophecy come out even not only in weeks of years, but both ends would also fall in the sacred seventh sabbatical year of the cycle. That is, both the years 457 BC and AD 34 were Jewish sabbatical years, which seemed like a very tidy fit to Newton because the entire prophecy was about weeks of years. Secondly, Newton favoured AD 34 because he thought he found evidence for the Saviour's ministry having been 4½ years, rather than the traditional 3½ years. This evidence has not been accepted by modern scholars, who do not consider AD 34 as a plausible year for the Crucifixion.

Sir Isaac Newton placed the crucifixion of Jesus at the end of Daniel’s 70 week (490 years) prophecy. This however is incorrect as Jesus was crucified in the middle of the final seven years (7 prophetic days - 7 years), which would make his favoured date of 33-34 A.D. more like 30-31 A.D. Here is the verse taken verbatim from the King James Version. Daniel 9:27 says, "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."³⁷

Ezekiel's Prophecy

Another prophecy which gives us a clue as to when Christ was crucified is found in Ezekiel 4. The prophet was told to intercede for Israel and Judah according to specific time cycles for each nation. God told him first to lie on his left side for 390 days for the house of Israel —the northern tribes that had been taken into the Assyrian captivity a century earlier. The 390 year prophecy of Ezekiel covered the span of time from when Solomon Died in his 40^th year in 975 BC to Zedekiah’s 11^th year in 586 BC when Nebuchadnezzar burned the temple in Jerusalem.³⁹

Then Ezekiel was to lie on his right side for 40 days for Judah and Jerusalem, as we read in Ezekiel 4:6 and 7, ^"When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year. Then you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it."

This prophetic intercession assigned a 40-year time of grace to Judah, leading to the siege of Jerusalem. There was not enough time in Ezekiel's day to give the city a 40-year grace period, but it did establish a 40-year grace period in the next great siege by Rome during the first century A.D.

God's mercy endured a full 390 years for the iniquity of Israel before the punishment came. But for the iniquity of Judah, only 40 years grace is given! What sin of Judah could have been so much greater than that of Israel as to meet such a swift retribution? How do we even know that Judah's sin exceeded Israel's?

In the scriptures, which side, left or right, is more significant? You would agree, I'm sure, that it is the right side. The right arm represents strength, blessing, and greatness. For Israel's sin Ezekiel is commanded to lie on his left side, whereas for Judah's sin he is to lie on his right side. This indicates which sin is greater. The sequence of the two sins in the passage also has relevance. Israel's sin gets the first attention, and Judah's next.

Not only does Judah's sin come after that of Israel; it comes much after...a thousand years to be sure. We need to understand the makeup of the Jewish people during the time of Christ to fully realize the importance of Judah's sin. During the Babylonian captivity (70 years) and the seventy years that followed (the time of Ezra, Nehemiah, and the rebuilding of the temple) the ten tribes were all but lost through intermingling and marriage to the surrounding nations. The tribe of Judah, by God's grace and mercy, was preserved as a remnant of the Jews.

In Christ's time, the Jews hated their brethren of the ten tribes because they had not kept themselves pure. Samaritans were included in this group and, though formerly belonging to the nation of Israel, they were no longer permitted to worship in the temple at Jerusalem because of the hatred of the "pure" Jews towards them. Thus it was Judah for whom Christ laboured most while on this earth. Whereas Israel had rejected the kings whom God had appointed, Judah rejected the King of kings. Whereas Israel turned away from God to worship idols, Judah turned away from God to worship pride and tradition. Whereas Israel neglected to follow God, Judah murdered Him.

Titus (Louvre, Paris)
Just 40 years later, one biblical generation, the punishment came. Again Jerusalem was besieged. Again a famine came. Again the walls crumbled. Again the temple ended in destruction and ruins. And thus is fulfilled the second part of Ezekiel's prophecy.

The parallels between the two parts of this prophecy give the evidence that the interpretation holds true. Israel and Judah both rejected God. The sins are much the same. The fulfilment of the prophecy is the same. In both cases the temple, along with the city of Jerusalem, is destroyed.⁴⁰

Flavius Josephus
Usibus, the earth church father tells us that Titus brought about the siege of Jerusalem on Nisan 14 (Jewish Encyclopaedia) of 70 AD, during Passover, 40 years after Jesus crucifixion on Nisan 14, 30 AD. So this ancient historian tells us that Jesus died in 30 AD by way of subtracting the 40 years from the time of the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD which was known, following Ezekiel’s prophecy.

Josephus (Jewish historian) also tells us that Titus began the siege of Jerusalem on Nisan 14, 70AD, 40 years to the day after the crucifixion, again proving when Jesus was crucified.³⁹

Destruction of the Temple

The fulfilment of Christ's prophecy concerning the destruction of the magnificent temple at Jerusalem reveals the year of Christ's crucifixion.

Herod the Great
In 40 B.C., the Roman senate appointed Herod, later known as Herod The Great, as the ruler of Judea. Herod had previously served as the governor of Galilee and was a personal friend of Mark Antony before Antony was defeated by Octavian. Later Herod became a friend of Octavian who became the first Roman emperor as Caesar Augustus.

Herod the Great ruled Judea for the next 36 years, during which time he began many huge building projects including the building of a new Temple in Jerusalem for the worship of God. From the beginning of the Temple project in 19 B.C., it took 46 years to complete the main building and another 36 years to finish the entire Temple complex. This was a huge undertaking which required a tremendous amount of labour and money. This new temple was said to be a larger and a more beautiful temple than the one that Solomon built.

Mark Antony
The historian Josephus said that much of the exterior of the Temple was covered with gold that reflected the fiery rays of the sun. Moreover, he said that, from a distance, the Temple appeared like a mountain covered with snow. This was probably because those parts that were not covered with gold were made of white stone. From what is said in many writings about Herod's Temple, it was indeed a magnificent structure of awesome proportions. However, four years after it's completion, it was totally destroyed and wiped from the face of the earth.

During Jesus' time, many of the Jews were so awe struck and impressed with the grandeur of the Temple that they replaced the worship of God with respect and reverence for the Temple complex itself.

Herod's Temple
The Passover season of 30 A.D. began much as it had in previous years. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the world crowded into Jerusalem. Because they were concerned with preparing for the Passover, they did not realize that this particular Passover would be the most important event in all of human history. It was on this Passover that the Lamb of God would be sacrificed for the sins of humanity.⁴¹

Significant Events at the Crucifixion

Jesus died about 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon of 30 A.D. on the first of two authorized Passover ceremonies. His death set into motion a series of events and warnings to the Jews which were meant to show that indeed the Jews had murdered the Messiah and that His prophecy concerning the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem would come to pass. There were three simultaneous events that happened during the earthquake at Jesus' death that are of major importance to the fulfilment of the prophecies concerning the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem:

1) The veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom
2) The tombs opened and the dead raised to life
3) Jesus acknowledged as the Son of God

Temple Curtains
History seems to indicate that there were two curtains in Herod's Temple: One at the huge gated entry into the temple and the other separating the Holy of Holies and the main sanctuary. These curtains were said to be 60 feet long, 30 feet wide, and as thick as the palm of a man's hand. We are told that these curtains were so heavy that 300 priests were needed to manipulate each one. The curtain being torn from top to bottom was a foreboding omen indicating that God's hand had torn it in two and that his presence was leaving that holy place. (See the Jewish Talmud, Yoma 39b).

This resurrection of the dead shows the following:
1) Christ's blood is life-giving (pictured in the blood of the Passover lamb) and has now wiped away the penalty of sin (Rom. 6:23) for all those who only had their sins covered by the sacrifice of animals.
2) There will be a time when all those who have or will have lived a righteous life will be given eternal and immortal life at the return of Christ.
3) The great enemy death has lost its power over humanity through the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ.

The Jews had rejected Christ as the Messiah and murdered him as their fathers had murdered many others whom God had sent to them to teach his laws and ways of life. To their shame, it was a Roman centurion, not an Israelite, who recognized and acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God. See Psa.118:22-24; Jer.8:9; Matt.13:57; 21:42.

Because of their rejection of the Messiah and his message the Jews would now pay a heavy price. The magnificent structure which symbolized God's presence and on which the Jews lavished much praise and showed great reverence would be destroyed along with their beloved city.⁴¹

Unusual Events of 30 AD

The Bible records several remarkable events that occurred at the time when Jesus was crucified, ie a great earthquake, rocks split, the temple veil torn from top to bottom, tombs opened and dead saints resurrected. However what is interesting is that historians also recorded several strange events in the year 30 AD.

Says the Jewish Talmud in Yoma 39b of the events which occurred in 30 A.D.:

“Forty years before the Temple was destroyed [i.e., 40 years before 70 A.D., or in 30 A.D.] . . .the gates of the Hekel [Holy Place] opened by themselves, until Rabbi Yohanan B. Zakkai rebuked them [the gates] saying, Hekel, Hekel, why alarmist thou us? We know that thou art destined to be destroyed...”

For the huge doors of the Temple behind the Veil to open, of their own accord, or in association with the great earthquake, would cause them to pull powerfully against the Veil, and with the lintel falling, at the same time, could have torn it in two from top to bottom.⁴²

The Sanhedrin

Says the Talmud: “Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the Sanhedrin was BANISHED (from the Chamber of Hewn Stone) and sat in the trading station (on the Temple Mount)” - (Shabbat 15a).

The Sanhedrin officiated from the Chamber of Hewn Stones which was about 120 feet southeast of the Temple and its enormous stone lintel, which was at least 30 feet long, weighed some 30 tons and had cracked during the earthquake at the Messiah's death.

History tells us that the Sanhedrin moved from their opulent surroundings in the Chamber of Hewn Stones to lesser accommodations shortly after the earthquake. Because there is no record of the Sanhedrin being forced by the Romans to move from the Temple (which would have caused a major political crisis), one can assume that the Sanhedrin moved because the earthquake had so damaged the building that it was unsafe for them to continue to meet there.⁴²

A Black Stone

“And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat” (Lev.16:8 KJV).

There is much debate over exactly what kind of objects the lots were. However, the information found in the Babylonian Talmud and the Mishnah indicates that the lots were two stones—one white and one black. The white stone had the words “For the Lord” written on it, and the black stone had the words “For Azazal” (i.e., the goat that is sent away or banished) written on it.

These two stones were placed into a container and it was shaken; then, without looking into the container, the high priest would put his right hand into the container and draw out one of the lots.

The Babylonian Talmud shows that, for two hundred years before 30 A.D., the first stone to appear in the right hand of the high priest randomly fluctuated each year between the white and black stone. One would expect this type of randomness, because God selected the more perfect goat to be slain for the sins of the people. But, beginning with the Day of Atonement in 30 A.D. (the year of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ), the black stone appeared in the right hand of the high priest for the next 39 years.

The chances of the black stone (For Azazal) appearing 40 consecutive times in the right hand of the high priest is over a trillion to one according to Pascal's table of numerical odds. The continual appearance of the black stone in the right hand of the high priest was surely a sign of God's displeasure with the House of Judah and a warning for them to repent. The fulfilment of the prophetic black stone came after forty years of continuous warning when the Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed in 70 A. D. by the Roman Empire.⁴³

The Scarlet Thread

On the Day of Atonement, a scarlet wool thread was placed on the door of the sanctuary. It was said that this thread turned white when the live goat was set free. But, beginning on the Day of Atonement in 30 A.D., this thread never turned white again. See Yoma 39b, Babylonian Talmud and pages 166, 170 Mishnah, by Danby. Clearly, the failure of the scarlet thread to turn white was another sign of God's disapproval of Israel's worship of him and their impending punishment if they did not repent. See Isa.1:18.⁴³

Next Part of 7000 Year Theory

In the fifth and final part of our series on the 7000 year theory, we will look at the final events predicted by the 7000 year theory. In particular we will see whether it is possible to predict when the Second Coming of Christ will occur and what events will occur afterward.
