They had No Understanding nor discernment. John 12:34 Then the crowd answered him: “We heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?”

Yes, it has to do with offerings and sacrifice for a temorary covering under the Mosaic Law. However, Jesus is pure and without sin. His death was the antonement or covering for sinful mankind to become clean. Yet, Jesus was tested to the full for our sake. Therefore, he fulfilled the Law of Moses "and erased the handwritten document that consisted of decrees and was in opposition to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake." (Colossians 2:14) The Bible attaches great importance to the death of Jesus.

2 He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up,And we will live before him. 3 We will know, we will earnestly seek to know Jehovah. His going out is as certain as the dawn; He will come to us like a pouring rain,Like a spring rain that saturates the earth.” So when the Sabbatha was over, Mary Magʹda·lene, Maryb the mother of James, and Sa·loʹme bought spices in order to come and apply them to his body.c 2 And very early on the first day of the week when the sun had risen, they came to the tomb. 22 Moreover, some women from among us also astonished us, for they went early to the tomb*o 23 and when they did not find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive.

His arrest was about 12 hours. Midnight to being hung on the tree at Noon. I guess one could count the three hours he spent on the stake in agony. Which then be 15 hours from his arrest to his death. So you are correct that there is no discrepancy. Bible Prophecy Fulfilled!

The 40 pattern represents 'a time' of cleansing, refinement, testing, and purification. It can be rendered in hours, days, or years. Also... when the 40 pattern is applied three times, it is significantly heightened in importance. Jesus entered this pattern three times during his time upon the earth. (ie...At the end of the required 40-day purification period, they “brought the young child [Greek, paidion]” to the temple in Jerusalem. There Simeon and the prophetess Anna saw Jesus.—Luke 2:1-38; Lev. 12:2-4. The time Jesus was dead was a 40 hour period that cover 'parts of three days'. However, one should be mindful that the Jewish Day began on Sundown, this is in regards to Creation at "And there was evening and there was morning, a first day." (Genesis 1:5) The Sunset during this time period was around 7:12 pm. It varies back forth over time but is very stable. I'm using a round off time of 7 pm for simplicity sake. Nisan 14, 33 CE - 1st Day - Thursday at Sundown from 7:00 pm to Friday at Sundown to 7:00 pm Jesus was put to death at approximately 3:00 pm that Friday afternoon on Nisan 14th. That's 4 hours. Nisan 15, 33 CE - 2nd Day - Friday at Sundown from 7:00 pm to Saturday at Sundown to 7:00 pm That's 24 hours. Nisan 16, 33 CE - 3rd Day - Saturday at Sundown from 7:00 pm to Sunday at Sundown to 7:00 pm Jesus was resurrected at dawn by 7:00 am. That's 12 hours. 4 + 24 + 12 = 40 hours

Actually the preparation day was the day before, making it Thursday Evening since the Jewish Day began at Sunset. Thursday evening Nisan 14th to Friday Evening. At that same day around midnight is when they came for him. Questioning and beating him. The Sanhedrin had an illegal trial after midnight which was now earlry Friday Morning. But dawn when the day was breaking took him to political leaders. and Pilate in the morning of Friday, 8 to 10 am the Crowd demanding Barnabas to be released. Then had Jesus flogged. Returned Jesus to the crowd, tried to release Jesus again but the Jewish leaders said we have no King but Caesar. Pilate in the morning of Friday, 10:30 to 11:00 am released Barnabas. By 10:30 to 11:00 am that Friday morning which is still Nisan 14 until the coming Sunset. Ordered Jesus to be impaled to death. Was executed on a starous on the sixth hour which is noon. Died on the ninth hour which is 3:00 pm in the afternoon. Hurrying before Sunset which was coming in a few more hours, was pierced then handed over to be prepared for burial according to Jewish custom to make sure the Mosaic Law was not violated. All this happened on Nisian 14 which began Thursday evening with the Sunset and just before the Sunset on Friday Evening when the great Sabbath was to begin at Sunset on Friday evening, A second day. Therefore, Nisan 15th would be from Friday Evening, as the great Sabbath evening began and ended Saturday evening at Sunset. Then Saturday Evening to Sunday Sunset. The third day. Nisan 16, 33 CE However, Mary left the house early, when it was still dark that morning. Before dawn that Sunday Morning which is the FIRST DAY of the week. The dawn was breaking and starting to light up the sky as she approached the tomb and Jesus body was not there. Jesus was put to death, how? In the flesh.... here's one of several teachings of Jesus Christ. "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and for a fact, the bread that I will give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world." (John 6:51) So, if for a fact, Jesus gave his flesh in behalf of the life of the world, then proclaiming that he took back the flesh he sacrificed would be wholly inaccurate. "So from now on we know no man from a fleshly viewpoint. Even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, we certainly no longer know him in that way." (2 Corinthians 5:16) So how was Jesus Christ resurrected? So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." (1 Corinthians 15:45) Spirit creatures/angels, can manifest in the flesh, even eating and drinking with those who entertain them. "Do not forget hospitality, for through it some unknowingly entertained angels." (Hebrews 13:2) Since Jesus became a life-giving spirit, he manifested in various fleshly bodies and many times without the wounds. Consider the account of Mary Magdalene, a faithful follower of Jesus Christ who went to the tomb for the purpose of dressing his wounds. Notice the account, "After saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She, thinking it was the gardener, said to him: “Sir, if you have carried him off, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her: “Mary!” On turning around, she said to him in Hebrew:“Rab·boʹni!” (which means “Teacher!”) - John 20:14-16 Read more...

You're Invited to a Sacred Event! The Memorial of Christ is not the Last Supper that the world continues to celebrate. The Last Supper is the Last Passover Meal that was first established in Egypt. The Jewish Day began at Sunset. Since the Sun sets at various times, the Passover Supper would begin after the Sun disappeared from the Horizon with the darkness just beginning to set in. The Last Passover Meal was Nisan 14th, 33 CE with the abolishment of the Old Mosaic Covenant. Today as Christians, we invite others to simply observe the Memorial of Jesus Christ that was instituted moments later after the Last Supper was concluded and brought to its end. AS the Last Supper was concluding, Jesus was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.  While they were eating, he said: “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” (Matthew 26:20-21) Therefore, the event that concluded the Last Passover Meal was the dismissal of an unfaithful apostle. Jesus answered: “It is the one to whom I will give the piece of bread that I dip.” So after dipping the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  After Judas took the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. So Jesus said to him: “What you are doing, do it more quickly.” (John 13:26-28) “So after he received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.” (John 13:30) After dismissing the betrayer from the midst of the Faithful Disciples, Jesus instituted a new teaching for His Faithful Followers. Notice, the whole world wasn’t invited, but those who proved to be faithful and trustworthy up to this point. Since the founding of the Christian Congregation on Pentecost 33 CE, Christians have been commemorating the death of Jesus Christ every Nisan 14th. With one simple command, his faithful sheep “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19) Share this Post on your social media and Save a Life.

Jesus died and was buried just before the great Sabbath began. Furthermore, Friday afternoon is called Preparation because people prepare meals and complete any other tasks that cannot wait until after the Sabbath. At sunset, a double, or “great,” Sabbath will begin. (John 19:31) Jesus’ Body Is Prepared and Buried

When you learn Modern English someday, maybe I'll teach you the A,B.C's. Then again, maybe not in view of what JESUS said. Another part of the Sign of the Son of Man...You. 41 The Son of man will send his angels, and they will collect out from his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and people who practice lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace.h There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the suni in the Kingdom of their Father. Let the one who has ears listen.

The True God has One Name but that Name is transliterated differently according to different languages. “I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Isaiah 42:8) English Translation."I am Yahweh; that is my name," (Isaiah 42:8) Hebrew Translation to Englsih."Εγώ είμαι ο Ιεχωβά. Αυτό είναι το όνομά μου·" (Isaiah 42:8) Greek Translation."Я Иегова. Это моё имя. (Isaiah 42:8) Russian Translation."אֲנִי יְהֹוָה.‏ זֶהוּ שְׁמִי;‏" (Isaiah 42:8) Hebrew Script.

17 As for you, beloved ones, call to mind the sayings that have been previously spoken* by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 how they used to say to you: “In the last time there will be ridiculers, following their own desires for ungodly things.”l 19 These are the ones who cause divisions,m animalistic men,* not having spirituality.

Understanding the Sign of the Son of Man... One the KEYS for understanding the Sign of the Son of Man is that it is a Progressive Sign for ALL to SEE! Notice Jesus tells what to look for as the answer to the question. “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” (Matthew 24:3) Since Jesus is not returning to the earth as a man, his Parousia would require a Sign for ALL to SEE and WITNESS, whether they understood what they were seeing or not. Brother Russell wrote: "'The Earth Abideth Forever' Christ will not return to Earth as a Man - Present Year Believed to Mark Great Change of Dispensation, but World May not discern Immediate Difference." The Bible Students Monthly, January, 1914. Since Christ will not return to Earth as a Man, Brother Russell wrote: "Our Lord, in describing His Second Presence, clearly indicated that it would be unnoticed by the world until the cataclysm of trouble should come. Thus He likened the earlier days of His presence to that period before the Flood, when the world, unconscious of the impending catastrophe, continued to build, eat and drink as usual, and knew not. So, says the Master, it will be in the end of this Age. Eating, drinking, building, planting and marrying will proceed as usual; and the world will not know that they are in the Presence of the Son of Man." Notice he didn't write Second Coming, but rather 'Second Presence'? Brother Russell was speaking of Christ's PAROUSIA--PRESENCE. He continues, "The Bible nowhere tells that Jesus took the human nature to keep it forever, and to return with it to Heaven, where it would be completely out of order and out of place. The Bible teaches, on the contrary, that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God" (1 Cor 15:50); and that Jesus was made flesh merely 'that He, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man' (Heb 2:9) and that after doing this work He would "ascend up where He was before." (John 6:62) The great Day of Trouble, noted throughout the Scriptures as the Time of Trouble such as never was since there was a nation, will come upon them suddenly." Brother Russell also mentions that this time of trouble could last a certain amount of time as in the time of Noah. Then he mentions, "Then, later on, will come the Epiphania; that is to say, the revelation, or manifestation, of the present One. This will not be a manifestation in the flesh, but in a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented as fire, as when we read, "He shall be revealed in flaming fire, taking vengeance." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Christ Jesus referred to this sign when he said: “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matt. 24:30) Thus the 'age of violence' was ushered in as the whole world experiences the Last Days. This age or time period will indeed come to an end. (Matthew 24:14) It's Spiritual. Jesus explains in detail what the Sign of the Son of Man is... -Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. -People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. -And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near. -AS these things start to occur, notice this scripture. "Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence." (2 Thessalonians 2:8) There is even more detail when we add the information from the vision in the Book of Revealtion that the Sign of the Son of Man as been unfolding ever since 1914! Based on Brother Russells' study of the timing of the riding of the four horsemen in 1876, he submitted an article for publishing in The Bible Examiner, which had pointed forward to 1914 as the date for “the times of the Gentiles” to end, with serious consequences for the whole world of mankind. Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matt. 24:30) Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will SEE him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him. Yes, Amen. (Rev 1:7) This prophecy includes the anointed would also be affected during the Last Days. Once the Last Days come to their end which is a timed event, Jesus will terminate the ride of the other three horsemen but even reverse the effects of their destructive ride. For more information, please read about the four horsemen and what they do. Better times lay ahead, but not for everybody! Since the Sign of the Son of Man is a Progressive Prophecy manifesting since 1914 for ALL to SEE, all the tribes of the earth are now lamenting in grief. Second Peter Chapter three, describes in detail, the timing of Jehovah's Day. It is a short transition period that will bring an end to this 'age of violence' then quietly ushers in the Great Crowd whom are personally invited by Jesus Christ with the marking of suvivorship. Soon, Satan's Dying World will be forced to see this revealing phenomenon of the Sign of the Son of Man and it will prove too much for Satan's Entire Political System of things! Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon you.” (Ephesians 5:14)

Study Presence it covers a marked period of time.—Mt 24:3.

37 For just as the days of Noah were,q so the PRESENCE of the Son of man will be.r 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,s 39 and they took NO NOTE until the Flood came and swept them all away,t so the PRESENCE of the Son of man will be.

Bullseye! 😀

Depending of the context of the scripture, one would need 'spritual discernment' in order to discern what the scripture is talking about. Nations can refer to countries, peoples, or even nationalities. The pride of nationality for instance. The nations of many peoples is the correct context listed below. And to it all the nations will stream.c 3 And many peoples will go and say:“ Come,

Understanding the Sign of the Son of Man... Brother Russell also mentions that this time of trouble could last a certain amount of time as in the time of Noah. Then he mentions, "Then, later on, will come the Epiphania; that is to say, the revelation, or manifestation, of the present One. This will not be a manifestation in the flesh, but in a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented as fire, as when we read, "He shall be revealed in flaming fire, taking vengeance." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Christ Jesus referred to this sign when he said: “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matt. 24:30) Thus the 'age of violence' was ushered in as the whole world experiences the Last Days. This age or time period will indeed come to an end (Matthew 24:14) as this prophecy is being fulfilled for ALL to SEE.

Absolutely! Satan always tries to mimic the Bibles' time line. Interesting you Noted Revelation 17. The last hour has already began. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. The demonic propaganda is now spewing into the World like WormWood. https://sdgs.un.org/goals 13 And I saw three unclean inspired expressions* that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragony and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs,z and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the wara of the great day of God the Almighty.b

Yes... One more 'timed event' or prophecy would be fulfilled prior to the destruction of the wicked. Satan and his earthly kingdoms are entering their final hour since 2015 spewing demonic propaganda that they brought peace and prosperity to the earth by transforming our world by 2030, and the majority of the earth's population will be more than willing to capitulate. "Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape." (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

Jesus in private told his disciples, "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37-39) Notice Jesus compared the days of Noah to his Presence, they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away. Therefore, we can conclude that both Prophecies are 'timed events'. Time and again Jesus kept reminding his disciples just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. How long were the days of Noah? Then Jehovah said: “My spirit will not tolerate man indefinitely, because he is only flesh. Accordingly, his days will amount to 120 years.” (Genesis 6:3) When Noah stopped preaching to work on the Ark, did the wicked take note? "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37) When Noah began loading up foodstuffs for his family and the animals, did the wicked take note? "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37) When Noah loaded the animals into the ark, did the wicked take note? "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37) When Noah entered into the ark and Jehovah sealed the door, a full week before it began to flood, did the wicked take note? When the manifestation increases in frequency and intensity as in distress pangs climax, it will phase into the Revelation Phase of the Son of man. "and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:39) https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1001070624#h=70:~:text=“The days of Noah” actually,who do not seek deliverance.

Yes... Noah was 600 at the time of the Flood and lived another 350 afterward... the 120 was the allotted time limited for the old world to take heed. But nobody lived pass the day of a thousand years that Jehovah set. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001150?q=allotted+time+of+the+deluge&p=doc#:~:text=Timing of the Deluge. The Deluge did not come suddenly without warning. Years of time were spent building the ark%2C time that Noah the “preacher of righteousness” also used in warning that wicked generation. (2Pe 2%3A5) Finally the time limit was up

Yes... and that leads us back to subject of this discussion about timing. "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. But Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed." (2 Peter 3:8-10) "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4) Learning these things now can help you prepare for the coming events. It will take faith, but there is hope! Start preparing your heart and mind and apply the counsel from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches. “On this account I say to you: Stop being anxious about your lives as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear. Does not life mean more than food and the body than clothing? Observe intently the birds of heaven; they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?" (Matthew 6:24-26) "Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?" (Matthew 6:27) "So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to wear?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:31-33)

2034 is not an end all date. Human life span was everlasting, then death was introduced of a day of thousand years, so the human life span was less than 1,000 years. Jehovah decided to speed things up and changed the life span to 70 or 80 years a little longer due to mightiness. The 120 is representative of 3 x 40 periods. Which cannot be grasped by those who are not true. Therefore, the 120 is an illustration. Mark 4:11 He said to them: “To you the sacred secret of the Kingdom of God has been given, but to those outside all things are in illustrations,

Correct, but 40 is significant. How long was Jesus teaching his disciples on earth before asending to heaven after his resurrection? "After he had suffered, he showed himself alive to them by many convincing proofs. He was seen by them throughout 40 days, and he was speaking about the Kingdom of God." (Acts 1:3) How long was Jesus in the wilderness being tempted by Satan? How long did it rain on the earth in order to cleanse it? Jesus, Moses, and Elijah all fasted for how many days?
